I am back from a trip i went recently. I have been talking about it on my blog. It was super fun. I wanted to write a travel log about this trip, but never got a chance. Work has started taking toll on me lately.
Anyways, to give you guys a perception about where all I went, here are few flicks of the trip.
I wish I had more time and could have written more about my experiences. Can’t help for now. Maybe next time I’ll write!
Few weeks back I released a WordPress theme – Portraiture.
When I first released it, I thought it will be a huge hit and that too all by it self, with zero external force. Quickly I realized I was wrong. For a week I was checking Google Analytics every day to monitor progress and hits. Damn, It was depressing.
So eventually I decided to take some steps. I started of with tweeting on twitter. Result was bad. I had such good product for community and didn’t know how to promote it.
Then, I went back to grand daddy of information – Google. And after a couple of hours of research. I understood that I was doing it all wrong.
It doesn’t matter if your product is good or bad. If you want to sell, You need to market it right!
In short, I learnt an important MBA lesson 
Anyways, If you want to promote you WordPress theme then following are the places you wanna hit:
There’s one more thing that I did! I searched Google for free themes and started posting comments and links. Don’t spam though, give brief intro about your theme
Result? 100+ downloads in less than two weeks.
So this is it! Judgement day has come. Gosh! I have waited for a long time for this. I just can’t express my excitement. Adrenaline is rushing all over.
To be straight and short, I am leaving for my trip and I hope it get settled in my synaptic junctions really well.
Will try to keep you guys updated! I will return with lots of photos and a bag full of dope
Cheers!
all my bags are packed, I am ready to go…
Few days back a friend asked me if I am interested in a road trip! I without even thinking for a second said yes. After all who thinks twice for these things? Atleast I don’t!
So, After a long time I am all set to go for another long road trip, spanning North India. Courtsey Gaurav Ram Sharma! Also, this will my first trip on a vehicle that I own
Anyways, Plan is to see the longest distance we (yeah, ‘we’! you thought I’ll be going alone? haha) travel in a single trip. Till now we have planned to travel around 1600kms in four days. We will be starting from Delhi and thinking of going till Kaza and coming back. All of this in four days. Now thats what I call a sick idea.
As of now we have only planned one half of our journey* (remember, I have right of changing the plans 
). Alright so this is the plan:
This is what we are planning for day I & II.
It’s gonna be exciting and I just can’t wait any longer.
Heyy everybody,
I am writing this post to tell you that Portraiture – Ultimate free WordPress theme has got a new home at: http://portraiture.neerajkumar.name
Do take a look around Also, do share it with your friends if you like it
Cheers!
Lots has changed since my college got over. A lot of my friends are doing stuff which is not normal. A wannabe scientist is working for a private firm and writing code. Electronics engineer became network analyst. Other one has got into full time rapping.
This is about one of my crazy ass friend who’s an engineer turned photographer. One can easily see his passion in his work. Specially for concept photography. And why I am writing about him or even this post? Because I liked his concept and what he wants to do.
Yesterday, when I met him he told me about his idea and how wants to collect one million photographs, Yeah you read it right! One Million. Idea is nice but I only have one question for him.
How the hell will you be able to acomplish this and that too in your own lifetime?
Well he has some crazy ideas, let see. I hope he makes it!
BTW, you can see his what he’s up to with his idea here.
All who know me, know that I like to work on hobby projects every now and then. And sometimes I somehow manage to create something nice. I always used to release things under open source license.
But lately, I have received an offer. An offer which is quite appealing. For last few weeks I have been working on another project I have been working on as a hobby. I showed it to one of my friend. And the first words that his vocal chords produced were
WOW dude … We should sell this stuff as SAAS and make money!
This is when my mind took a roller coaster ride. I never thought about my any project like this. I mean seriously? Should I sell stuff I create? Thee questions are bothering me because, I have always been a avid supporter of open source. And selling software has never been my cup of tea.
Now he’s constantly trying to sell is idea of selling stuff and maybe I will buy his idea. After all making some extra money isn’t bad 
“Hello World!”
It’s been couple of weeks since I have joined a new company. Now, since that I am working. It meanns that I’ll have less time for doing things that I love most. The descision was not easy but was a necessary one.
Anyways, some of you may be waiting for my post on getting free twitter followers. Well, that post is still lying around as a draft. I never got a chance to complete it. But, dont worry I’ll publish it soon and I guarantee you guys that it will help you!
Now coming to the real motive of this post. After working on WordPress for so many years, I have now decided to give back something to the community. For that, I am building a theme framework. There are plenty already in market, but this one will be awesome! I assure you of that. I won’t leak out the features yet just have some patience and you’ll see it yourself.
And yes, Only thing you can know right now about it is that I’ll be open source
Post title says it’s all… Following are the ten things that I hate about Ubuntu:
in this fast paced world, technology now days changes very frequently. this amazes me that back in those old days one was confined to it’s idiot box for entertainment. But now, everybody watches videos on youtube.
Anyways, I am not that good in writing stuff and articles, so I’ll skip the chitchat and come straight to the point.
Many of you guys must be using Media Center from Microsoft. Media Center is a very good software that will convert your system into an entertainment hub. Only downside I know about it is it’s price!!! It’s costly and many of us don’t wanna spend that much fro a new software.
But thank god there is open source freaks out there. Lately, I was trying to ind a good alternative for Media Center and what I found changed my way of watching movies on computer and damn yes I’ll purchase a TV tuner card now.
Boxee is an open source initiative which allows you to watch movies on you PC or TV either from Internet or your local hard drive.
Boxee is the best way to enjoy entertainment from the Internet and computer on your PC or TV
What I like about Boxee is that It’s open source which means it’s completely free. It’s intuitive and has a very good GUI which most of the open source software lacks. It let’s you watch videos, movies and even listen to podcasts or music either from Internet or your PC.

Also, It’s extensible, which means there are lots of plugins available for it. You can even use facebook on it. It runs on multiple platforms like Windows, linux, Debian and MAC.
For all those geeks out there here’s little information about it for you:
Give it a try, it’s worth.
