  • New Look : Arjuna Theme

    One among the new year resolution is done. And on the same new year’s day. My site now has a new look. I have been wanting to do this for more than a year now, and I never pushed myself to sit and do it. What better time to do it, than in the vacation. And so, here is the new look for the site. I have decided to call the new theme “Arjuna”.

    Arjuna: means ‘white’, ‘clear’. It is a Sanskrit word, and the name of one of the Pandavas, in the Mahabharata.

    This theme is a white theme, minimal, and subtle in expression. Being my first side project, I was a bit confused in choosing a name. I chose this because, it was somehow connected to the ancient literature of my own country.

  • Programming Fonts

    Little lately, I am obsessed in finding the best font to use, when I do the coding. I try to keep the same font across all editors and IDE’s that I use. The first font that I loved was ‘Courier New’ set at 10pt.

    Then with VS2008 came in a new attraction for Consolas a true type font from Microsoft. Consolas is really good. And it appears even better on TextPad, jEdit and VS2008 IDE.

    Last month, I began using Anonymous font. I would have sworn by it, if not for Monaco.

    Now I use only Monaco. Smooth and pleasing! So what fonts do you use.

  • Exploring Illustrator!

    I got to work with Adobe Illustrator today. And here is what I created. Illustrator has templates and tools, lots I should say. Getting my hands dirty with all the tools.

    Here is a sneak peek into my work.
