Hey friends! I have made my first Facebook application. Now all the Facebook addicts can add this blog’s feed and read all the latest articles right from their profile using the Sizzled Core RSS Feed application.
I was really impressed by TechnologyBites for making a RSS feed application using the tutorial by HowToForge. So using that tutorial, I started working on my own and in 3 hours of playing with that ‘developer’ stuff, I finally completed my app.

Bye Bye Blogging For 4 Months
I hate to do such posts! :( But unfortunately, I have to do it as studies are my first priority. You guys must have noticed useless and pointless posts from me since the last 3 weeks. Well, the reason was that I’m going to have my finals in April and for that I need to prepare good for the exams. Means, I’ll be again going for a break, and this time it’s not just for a month, but for 4 months straight.
Two Things Meme
The weekend… Finally! :D I won’t be blogging anything this weekend. In fact, I just got tagged by my friend, Mariuca, for a ‘two things’ meme, so I’ll be doing that instead of tech-related posts :) And hey, how’s the new logo above? I’ll be using this soon. I also made some wallpapers that I’ll share with you guys. Monday is the day…! :D
1. Two names I go by: Haris & MoNSt3r
2. Two things I am wearing right now: Clothes :D & Headphones
3. Two things I want (or have) in a relationship: Friendship & Trust
4. Two things I like to do: Blog & Play Counter-Strike!
5. Two things I want very badly in this moment: New PC & Nokia N95
It’s my birthday today!
Hello guys,
Well, I know it’s my first exam tomorrow, but I just came to tell everyone that it’s my birthday today. How unlucky I am! :P I have been getting lots of birthday wishes from my readers and friends. Thank you all!
See you after Nov. 20! Have a good time.
Bye
Exams Break
Hi readers and visitors,
This is to inform you that I won’t be blogging from today till November 20th due to my upcoming exams. My exams will start on Nov. 5th and end on 20th. But I also need some time for preparing before the exams so I won’t be blogging until my exams get over. When I’ll get back, I’ll have loads to share with you guys :D .
Sizzled Core on a New Domain
As I said a few days back, I have finally bought my own domain name and web-hosting. Free web-hosts were just not good for me. Everytime, I used to set-up my blog on one host, the host goes down. This all frustrated me a lot, and yesterday, I bought hosting from BlueHost.
It’s good to be on your own domain. :) Do tell me what do you feel about Sizzled Core :D . I quite excited about it. And did you noticed the new web 2.0 logo? Lol, I know it’s not good, but this was my first attempt in making one. I hope you guys like it.
P.S. Everyone who is linking to me, please replace the old URL, with the new one.
Thanks,
Haris

Finally… !
Finally.. It’s over. All the problems have been finally fixed. Actually, the recent downtime that occurred was due to the FLOOD! My host’s datacenters were given a flood warning. And as soon as they got that, they shut down everything and ran away :( . Leaving all their users down. Hehe, and I was one of them :P . But now, I have safely moved to a new host. No more problems. While shifting my blog and the backup, I lost my last post The Need For Speed, remember?
So this was the little sad story I wanted everyone to know. :( I’m sure that you guys must have thought that this blog is over. But NO! It isn’t :)
Regular posts will continue now and no more problems in between.
Happy reading… :)
Finally It’s Done!
I know, I know… There has been a lot of downtime lately, but now I have finally got it fixed. My old host was having a lot of problems, but now I have moved to a new one. And I hope there won’t be any more downtimes. There was a major downtime of about 5 hours today, but that was expected as I had to wait for the DNS to get updated.
I am even planning to get a top-level-domain (TLD) for Sizzled Core. So, there is a lot more coming in the next few days :) I will continue posting regularly from tomorrow as I am feeling very sleepy because I haven’t slept properly since two days.
Remember, enjoy life and live healthy :)
So see you guys tomorrow!
