Minute but many developments took place when I was NOT blogging in college.

I improved a lot with Photoshop and picked up great techniques in Corel draw. Thanks to my college magazine design buddies Advaith and Mayank. One day after writing an exam I was in a very jolly mood. I couldn’t resist opening Photoshop. I started working from scratch and with my golden iPod nano in front of me. I came out with the following illustration of the iPod Nano

I stopped playing the most loved hostel multiplayer – counterstrike. It was sucking away huge amounts of my time.

I touched the 400 floor in the icytower, could survive till the 422^nd floor. This made my worldwide icytower rank to A. I was the first among my icytower playing crazy friends to achieve this. The following screenshot shows the A rank and the floor 422. To go to the next rank you are supposed to go to 500^th floor. 500 I think is possible. But the 2^nd goal (highlighted) to reach the 400^th floor without combos a little too much.

Started playing Farmville and Mafia-wars just to learn some tricks so I could post it for new players.

Well, when I was away I didn’t stop gathering information to blog about. So I could immediately start writing when I get back. Some of great such new things are waiting to get written and posted. Watch out

I used to hate those millions of Farmville and Mafia war’s feed on my Facebook feed. I blocked them, they got added to the blocked app list. But trust me when you actually start playing these you have hard time surviving without those feeds. Now when I want to enable them i find no option to do it. Facebook changed its interface recently just after the “birthday”. Everytime Facebook changes its look, its like “you better devote some time to find all those misplaced areas”. I did that. I found where the applications can be added to the feed again.

The trick is to move to “Top news” first. The most used “most recent” page doesn’t let you do it.

• Go to Top News link on the top of your feeds.
• Now navigate to the end of the page and find “Edit Options”
• Go to the “applications” tab in the floating box.
• Click on the “add to news feed” button. You are done.

The catch here is that you’d kill yourself from frustration after not finding any such options under the “Most Recent” page. True that you never go to the “Top News” page. But for this you’ll have to go. There is no other way on the present Facebook interface to unhide applications from your news feed.

P.S. You also find blocked pages there.
