Its been long overdue for a blog makeover. The last time I install a new theme was back in Autumn 2008 and between then an now, there was just some face-lift. When I came across this free theme, it just screams out to me. In the last two years, there were only a handful of post, it became so little that one should be thinking of wrapping things up with blogging. The thought of shutting this site down have not cross my mind. When I started with this, it was for fun, as a hobby, self loathing and most of all, with the intention to keep this going till the day I kick the bucket. This still hasn’t change and hopefully with this theme change, it would trigger the little spark inside me to pen down some thoughts that have been urging to get out.

Here I present to you a collection of Moleskine icons found at deviantart to date.  The texture on some of the the Moleskine icon feels like real when zoom in.  Its a great collection for your Mac/Windows system. 

vladstudio over at deviantART released a new wallpaper titled “The Traveling Tree”.  This new header brings a refreshing green and blue to the blog design.  As I have been itching to change the entire blog design, I have yet to find inspiration.  The Travelling Tree brings a new breath and helps to brighten the blog design and helps to fill the gap while I search for a fresh look.

Ok, this nifty has been around for many many years, and bless me, I now only got to find out about it.  This is a dll file that smooth your Windows XP font to look more like Vista or Mac.  It actually bolds it a little and makes it more rounded compare to the thin and skinny looking font of the default XP.  Below is a comparison of how my XP font rendering looks like with and without GDI++.  At both times, I already have my true type turn on.  The application has been discontinued and may be a little buggy.  I have no problems using it so far.

I have been wanting to change my blog theme, but as usual, lack of creativity and urge to revamp the entire design.  So I settle for a header change.  After browsing around at deviantart.com, I came across Votre Sante by jplacson.  It was warm (in color) and has a nice sleepy tone to it, kinda reflecting how my blog have been recently.  I crop it and whola, a new header.
