@Abhinav, nice to see you here! I am planning to respond to your queries about uTorrent with a simple tutorial-post about downloading with torrents (a lot of people I know have asked me the same thing). Also check your email for the response. I'm also planning to write a short guide about installing Mac OS X on a PC. See you soon.

Bhau!

I ve finally decided to take dell lattitude e5400. and i am buying it without any os preinstalled. Could you help me install it in december when we meet in nagpur?? plzz …the day i sat on ur system os….i m dying to ve it,…..saale tu to samajh sakta hai yaar!!!
If u want u can check the config on dell site. product E5400. and tell wether it is possible to put mac os or not.

the utorrent u suggested last time…i downloaded it…but it doesnt start download of any file. Plz suggest settings that ve 2 be made after installing utorrent. U r aware of iit net system……plz lreply via gmail…..add me in ur gtalk: msntito@gmail.com

Yeah. I can imagine what disappeared. Greek and Latin, I suppose.

He,he.
What to do;
"I was born intelligent but my university spoiled me"

I think you would have enjoyed much more had not some characters disappeared.

Wow! I am at once impressed, flummoxed and reminded of a rather unpleasant night before the 'Partial Differential Equations' final exam in college. Also reminded me of math modeling contests. Anyway, that tickled my nerd's funny bone. You know there is actually a post's worth of mathematical jargon and humor in that comment.
That was good. LOL.

I also guess, there has been some lossy transmission when I was posting my comments. Some of the characters seem to have disappeared.

I counter, logically speaking and also for fun. You seem to care only about one variable,data.Let me call it 'a' Kb/page.If you read my first remark carefully, you can see that I have alluded to cluttering.Now cluttering has a negative effect on an average human mind.It decreases the interest level.Let us arbitarily call this interest level as 'I' and coefficient of clutter as 'c'.
c increases with clutter and is determined holistically.
Now I=f(a,c,p)

where a->data required to open the page
c->a collective coefficient that measures the page
clutter.
p->Aggregate of all other factors on your web page.
[higher the value of 'p', higher will the appeal of
your page]
It does not matter if you cant quantize these coefficients exactly,for qualitative analysis suffices.

now dI/da<0 [d/dx should be interpreted as partial
differentials]
For all a: 0<aHigher the data lesser the interest[this is intuitively
justified].

also dI/dcHigher the clutter, lower the interest
For all c: 0<c0
For all p: -Inf<pGreater the elegance, greater the interest
The problem at hand is however significantly increased in its complexity,from the fact that 'p' itself is a function of 'a' and 'c'.


p=G(a,c)
Moreover the nature of relation ship is inverse, and we really dont care if it is simple inverse, square inverse etc...This has a double decreasing effect on I provided all other factors influencing 'p' are maintained constant.

Last but not the least, let us denote,the proclivity [that urge]to visit your site as 'Y'.

Now
Y=F(I).I
F(I), unfortunately is a very bad function. Lets not dig into mathematical nature of it, but rather verbally define it.It decreases rapidly with 'I', but even if 'I' increases substantially, F(I) increased only slightly and this increase sometimes becomes zero at I=0.

So the moral of this long story is "Do not make 'a' and 'c' too high so that 'I' & hence 'Y' becomes zero"

Hope you took it lightly. It was just a joke...

Addendum to comment(4): The calculations above do not include the size of the album covers downloaded by my last.fm Album Quilt plugin (see sidebar). However, you can easily disable it by using a flash blocker such as the excellent Flashblock plugin for Firefox. This will dramatically improve speed on all sites and disable annoying flash ads (like those smiley ads with sounds!). Essential, if you have a limited download broadband plan.

O boy! Well, I can understand your concern. I just did some measurements. The data transferred while opening my home page (after a clear cache and including every graphics file) is 1,037,035 bytes (about 0.98MB). Assuming a user has a 2GB monthly download limit, this site could be accessed about 2,120,491 times (that's 2 million!). Assuming the user views 5 pages on each visit, that still gives him 500,000 visits (not considering the fact that after loading the homepage almost every image used across the site is already cached). So I figure, if the user really likes me and drops by once a day (clearing the cache before each visit), he would have wasted 30 * 0.98 = 29.4MB of his download quota, still leaving him with an whopping 1.97GB of surfing power. And that's the worst case scenario!
Hope that makes sense and puts you at ease. I am going to put a small PHP script in the footer that shows page load times (just to keep an eye).
Thanks again for your feedback. See you soon :)

@Site Author
Hmmm, maybe, but I have this dirty little habit of clearing my cache folder and temporary internet files every now and then!!

@Anup, that's valuable feedback. I personally prefer a minimalist design. This theme was super minimalist to start with. It does seem a bit cluttered now, but it's got all the nifty little features I want. As for the banners, images, buttons and other static images - they should be cached by your browser locally, so most of the time they wouldn't be downloaded (correct me if I am wrong).
And may I say, you owe yourself a broadband plan with unlimited downloads (I am thinking torrents). :)

Hey, whatever you do, pls dont make it unwieldy. If you add too many buttons, too many clips, then it becomes very cluttered and takes lots of time and data to open.If people have download limits [like I do] then they wont open your page too often. Make it look elegant....

Its only my point of view,those of others may be different.
