Dear Sir:

Please fix the time problem in your blog.

It is quite maddening.

I check at various times of the day and all of a sudden there is a post and from the time of the post it looks like it has been there for at least two days and gives me the feeling I have not been following your blog at all.

Feels like I have been dozing in your lecture.

Dear Aniket:

.....The more maddening thing is the date problem:

I compose and save it today (it remembers only the date I First Compose & Save; actually a day before that in California where I guess the Server is).

And if I 'Publish' it tomorrow, it will not show the 'Published' date but the First Saved date; that is yesterday for tomorrow, that is day before yesterday at Calif.

For instance the Post: Reading & Seeing which I 'Published' this morning (Sunday, 10th October) has the date tag of day before yesterday (Friday 8 October)!!!

Google never thought that there will be a Blogger who would compose, save, revise it ten times, sleep on it, revise it again and then 'Publish'!

Worse happens if I don't 'Publish' today's Post tomorrow, because a new thing crops up and will be 'Published' tomorrow (that is: tagged day before the day before tomorrow).

And then I 'Publish' the Saved thing day after tomorrow. Then the idiot appears BELOW tomorrow's and will be LOST for daily readers.

So, I will have to open a New Post, copy-paste it tomorrow before 'Publishing' it.

For instance there is a Post which I Composed and Saved a month back: "Complexification". I am keeping it as a Reserve when the bag gets empty, since it is a Physics blog and will not interest my latest Moldova 'Audience' who has read 27 posts in a single day as per the Blogspot gul. If I release it tomorrow carelessly and hastily, it will sink below the post that appeared thirty days before and you will think that I missed a day's blog and get worried.

The entire trouble is because Google never thought that there will be a Goof sitting in Hyderabad (India) and blogging one post a day for a good 7 long months (i.e. 200 odd posts).

It is all that SIMPLE & ELEMENTARY!!!

Dear gps,

Yes it is simple and elementary.

Your mail reminds me of the `Playground Rhyme'.

I Went To the Pictures Tomorrow
I got a front seat at the back,
I fell from the pit to the gallery,
And broke a front bone in my back.

A lady she gave me some chocolate,
I ate it and gave it her back.
I phoned for a taxi and walked it,
And that's why I never came back.

I KNOW there must be a simple trick-setting I ought to rectify; but then all fun will be lost; in addition to ONE Post, viz. today's; i.e. yesterday's, I mean dated day before yesterday!

I spend 10 hours on each Post. At 10 Dollars per hour, it is 100 Dollars per Post. I Created 400 Posts so far. That is 40,000 Dollars. At the average black rate of 50 Rupees per Dollar that works out to 2 Milion Rupees of Wealth I Created in 2 years in the Blogosphere.

I am hereby donating ALL of this Virtual Wealth I Created to Virtual Charities before my Real Income Tax Commissioner @ Hyderabad reads this......
