It’s been quite some time when it was a visual upgrade for this blog, and it’s quite that time again that it gets a new coat of paint. I believe that even though everyone’s getting newer and faster internet connection, this blogs should load faster and smoother than it does now, so I’ve decided that when the new version launches these things are taken care of.

A few things that were also on my mind if that there should be no sidebar, and the main focus should be the blog, though technically there will be a sidebar, but visually you might not consider it one, which is quite my objective.

I’ve also taken care that things do not cut of like they mostly do when you open a single blog post, specially if there are no comments. I m also going to focus on one single blog post on the main page, so that only the most recent comes to you first, and if you choose you can browse for older written stuff as and when you wish for it.

I’ve pretty much completed the design and it’s like a 100% change from what it looks like right now.

Let’s hope it goes around well, and works on all browsers, Amen.

Lately me and Asim Imtiaz had been co-ordinating on putting the last pieces of the big joint venture together, the whole collaboration involved Wordpress (as the basic ground), Asim (on further complex development), Ammar (Marketing, sponsorships), Me (design and front end code) and Zair (front end code). Yes my friends teabreak is just round the corner, waiting to happen and land itself on our little web browsers…

My suggestion to all the folks is first, get firefox, seriously, it’s the best thing that has ever happened to the internet, and their latest version, 3, is smokin hot ! You’ll fall in love, no kiddin !

Ok, so what I was saying is that the new version is a major change from the current look of the website, it is going to have new logo, like the one that looks above, it’s gonna have a darker theme, black tea would come to mind.

It has a some interactive elements to it, yes things move in it, I would like to thank the guys behind jquery, and specially John Resig for that. Adding some of the things would have been much problematic had there been no jquery.

I would also thank all those who stood by our side, supported us, hated us, screamed at us, drank tea with us, played with us, made fun of us, gayed around with us , gave us great ideas and all the those who’ve been our great audience. We love you folks.

I would also like to thank the folks at my and zair’s current office, that is Creative Chaos, the people there are super supportive, I would like to thank the entire design and development team here.

Thanks and Love.

Hello there,

most people who read my little rambling space, know I m on the team of Teabreak, one of the best things to happen to Pakistan’s webosphere, and this is about to become even clearer once the new version goes up !

Any how, I’ve done two wallpapers for ourselves, it’ll be great if you share these wallpapers with your friends, and spread the word, so more people know about teabreak.

You can get higher resolution wallpapers by clicking on the images below

love-peace

Yello fellows…

Alot of great things are happening around me, and alot of things for me, right in my favour. Remember I said I was on board for a really cool project, well it’s getting an upgrade soon, I m working on it’s new look and feel, which means, it’s gonna look new, soon. What you see above is going to be it’s new logo, looks cool, isn’t ?

Any how, me Asim, and Batty had a meeting recently, and we talked about a couple of things for the project, the most important of them all, was the new look, which is right now in the works, but should be out soon, hopefully.

I’ve also been doing some random artworks, check them here.

On the other hand, Gunnah, which is my amigo’s band, is going pretty well.. Awesome !

Oh and some time back I had done a horror background sound for my mom’s school project, the whole project turned out to be a hit, it even got in the news papers.. bohot aala ! Mashallah !

As for the work at my work place, it’s going good… though it’s a little painful.. but hey we folks like pain..

The bad thing is that my really cool collegue and friend, Zair, ain’t well, and really really not well. Prayers are requested.

I am not really well, have flu and feel tired, had slept almost the half day ! When I woke up, the day seemed to have passed, besides it’s was our assassinated former prime minister Benazir Bhuttos’ chelum, so I thought I had some free time..

Little did I think I would spend some of it designing a valentine card, and some of it for a small sticker kind of stuff I wanted for my room. The valentine card, is what you’ll not be able to see until the 14th, but just a hint, it has a nature theme attached to it !

Below is the sticker ‘kind of thing’ I was talking about:

Also I took the What does your writing say bout you quiz, here’s what it says :

What Your Handwriting Says About You
You are sometimes a very energetic person, but you are sometimes quite lethargic. You’re moody, prone to ups and downs, and you don’t have a lot of endurance.You range from very outgoing to very shy. You are a shape shifter who is very versatile. You adapt well, and you look at things from many angles.You are very detail oriented and meticulous. You are a careful thinker and a true intellectual.You need a bit of space in your life, but you’re not a recluse. You expect people to give you a small amount of privacy, and you respect their privacy as well.You are conservative, old fashioned, and a little stubborn. You are resistant to change.You are a good communicator. You work hard to get your ideas across effectively.

And I seriously have a very crappy handwriting !

Eid’s almost over, I m supposed to meet H-N and Najam today, let’s hope we have fun, this Eid went pretty much relaxing, but boring ! The Bar B Q wasn’t fun either !

I m also working on the new version of my portfolio website, which should be online soon, I m kind of leaving out the much light colours and using a bit dark tones this time, so far I m liking what I’ve done, and I m not to start coding until I feel satisfied with the whole layout and design.

Also I would like to wish everyone a happy new year, 8 days before it actually will be a new year, I m not sure, if I will be able to wish people at the right time, so a little early is better

I m thinking of doing something crazy, not harmful though, any suggestions would be great

Till then, Happy New year ! Farewell 2007. Welcome 2008. (Let’s hope for a refreshing peaceful year)

I don’t get what the title says itself, though it may hold some meaning for some, and not so much meaning for others…

Never mind that, I m acting like a moron already, you see less sleep leaves me drained !

Yes I was at office again, and late, I thought I’d leave but surprise surprise, no means of transport..DAMN !

Had to come back to the office work a little more and sleep, then wake up again, and work more.. oh hell ! But it was worth it, ya know I left the office at 1 pm. Woah !

Any how, after that the day was slow..should’ve stayed at the office

I have some friends telling me, they’re feeling pretty down..i tried calling, and they were either sleeping or un available…WTF ! Will call again, I hope to get them back in their spirits ! wish me luck !

It’s not really chaos, it was my first day at Creative Chaos today I am so happy, so very happy. I definitely now know the reason, why H-N doesn’t want to leave this place, and he’s right, this place is an awesome place to work.

For one thing, they have growth, and not only do they grow as a company, they do so as every single individual too ! I figured that in one day, since it’s the people at the organization that actually make it the organization it is !

Any how, I m loving this place and the people there are great, I had a great time there today, and even though I m blogging from home right now, uncle H-N is still at work…  and he’s gonna come late tomorrow !

Here’s a little something he wrote on his blog:

have decided to be serious with Creative Chaos, I am sure I cant find a better place then creative chaos, and shahzad is also here now, i hope he is having fun here =P. best of luck boi!

Thanks man !

I m gonna buzz off now ! and yeah I m missing some special person right now, and the name starts with an ‘M’ Love you !
