Not a bye, but an additional home

I recently bought a domain for myself at bhaskarghosh.in, and created my first wordpress driven blog cum site there.
I have been, since then, fighting with my wits, to stop duplicatability of efforts and naturally of posts and resources. But, I can simply not leave the beautiful look and feel of Google's Blogger, even when wordpress.org gives me much more control.
Please visit my new blog. I am not stopping my love for first house, but I have decided to share it with a new home.

Code will become simpler, neater, and also improve in performance. This is not just a cosmetic sugar coating change, there have been performance improvements as well with these new features. 2. Going by their philosophy of less boiler plate code (which also includes the closure introduction), they have introduced simpler ways to code and work with various J2EE components like the JMS2.0, etc. 3. JavaFX can now be programmed from any of the languages that run on JVM, such as Groovy, Scala, Clojure, etc. I was amazed by the language Groovy! even learning it our of my own interest :) 4.
