I'm currently in Chennai and having a very hard time. The previous weekend, I went to an 'unconference' on podcasting called podwroks.in. I don't podcast and rarely listen to them, because of the bandwidth problems at my university. Most of the sessions weren't good, and made the unconference not worth attending. I found the sessions by one of the sponsors Nautanki.tv quite exciting. I had heard

In my first year, the more intelligent guy among us made an excel sheet where 12 of us after every outing, dinner would religiously fill in all expenditures.

This template is one of the standard blogger templates of 1024*768 resolution.As I was looking at my traffic on Getclicky.com, I realized in the past six months, I had received exactly one hit from a browser with 800*600. And about 10% of the hits were from resolutions higher than 1024*768.So I
