Those of you who actually visit this site rather than read the contents through a RSS aggregator probably have already seen the change. I decided to jettison the all-black color of the site for a more earthy tone.

I am still figuring out where and how to place all those links on the right and left side. I am curious to know if the drop-down menus I had for a while worked. Do tell me. There is no better way to learning about this than doing and of course receiving positive feedback from people like you.

If there are any designers trolling this site, I would love to hear from you. So, speak up!

1.08308605341 isn't the square root of Pi. It's an approximate average number of blog posts here on Tiffinbox in the past three years. One day. Kinda like a vitamin for your soul.

Yep, I quietly swept past the 1000 post mark. No balloons or firecrackers. I did drink a dry, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, though to mark the occasion.

If you arrive on the Tiffinbox page [those of you who don't use a RSS aggregator] you will notice now a temporary blue dock at the bottom of the page with a little message from indieKarma, a new micropayment service I am using. If you visit this site on a regular basis, it will only cost you pennies to support Tiffinbox. I am passing around the hat.

Teyaari.com is now Tiffinbox's newest sponsor.

“Teyaari.com is an information services firm focused on event planning and management. We provide customized reports and tailored services for event planners, organizations, and busy individuals.

This might be old news to some of you, but I just read in Boing Boing that the Pakistani government has blocked the ubiquitous Blogspot.com domain for hundreds of bloggers in Pakistan.

As Danial Ahmad suggests this action by the Pakistani government may be in retaliation of some bloggers posting (or reposting) the defamatory cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad which first appeared in a Danish newspaper.

In any case, please support Pakistani bloggers and get your very own Don't Block The Blog decal for your site here.

Isn't it a tad bit ironic, though, that this ban went into effect after President George W. Bush left Pakistan after his hand-shake visit with Gen. Pervez Musharaf? Did the Pakistani government wait till the leader of the free world had departed their country before curbing people's rights? Imagine the PR romp if the censorship had occurred before W's visit. Yikes!
