Daily Diaries using "notepad"

I just tried it on my Windows machine, and it works!!!!

* Create a new file, say MyDiary.txt and let the first line contain the following string:
.LOG
* Close the file, saving it when asked for.
* Open this file using "notepad", you would see an entry with the current date and time. Write your diary and close it (of course, save it!)
* Open this file again, you would see the prev contents, and another new line with the current date and time.

Looks like a sweet and simple way for creating diaries.

Note: I also tried it with TextPad (v 4.7.3) and WordPad -- this works with TextPad, and not with WordPad.

enjoy!

About me

I have had this blogger account for quite some time, but never really got down to writing something in this. This may seem unusual for people who know me well ---- they know that I have a penchant for writing --- whether it be for magazines or for newspapers.

My first post in this account is going be a brief history of me. I will try to keep it as brief as possible:

I am Anand Sinha. Anand means Bliss, Happiness. [Ignorance is not Bliss] and Sinha is my family name.

I was born at Begusarai in Bihar (INDIA) on the 24th of November. My education began in a school named 'Progressive English School' in Begusarai.

I joined a hostel when I was just 9 years old. The hostels include:

* St Xavier's School, Sahibganj - 1983 through 1989
* Modern School, Barakhamba Road, New Delhi - 1989 through 1991
* St Stephen's College, University of Delhi, Delhi - 1991 through 1994 - B Sc.(Hons) in Mathematics
* Department of Computer Science, University of Pune - 1994 through 1997 - Masters in Computer Applications (MCA)

I joined Novell Software Dev Ltd (Bangalore) as a campus recruit when I was doing my MCA at University of Pune. Before joining the company, my gang of friends decided that we would stick in our 1st company for at least 5 years. In August this year, I am going to complete 10 years in Novell. It has been a great place for working and learning. I am still working for Novell...

On June 22nd, 2004, I got married to Richa Saurabh who hails from Patna (Bihar, INDIA). On September 13th, 2005, we were blessed with a baby boy, whom we named Chitraansh.

In 2005, I joined an MBA course (PGSEM) at Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore (IIM B) for my management studies along with the work.

Last month (23rd April, 2007), I moved into my own apartment in Bangalore - Purva Panorama ! Lot of work is still going in the apartment, which eats away the time that remains after working the entire day and Novell; and weekends at IIM.

Let us hope that I find time and energy to update the blogs at regular intervals.
