A Logical Explanation

my 2 cents about the world around us

Textism: Tools: Textile:

jQuery Masonry: "A dynamic layout plugin for jQuery
The flip-side of CSS floats"

OpenShift by Red Hat: "OpenShift is a free, auto-scaling platform-as-a-service for Java, Ruby, PHP, Perl and Python applications."

0:00 DotCloud - Deployment made simple: "DotCloud lets you create the best cloud stack for your application. We give developers and IT professionals the freedom and flexibility to mix and match languages, databases, caching and messaging components without the need for additional servers or infrastructure."

I recently started exploring Travian. Its a online strategy game, or one could only version of  Age of empires and Caesar. Though it is not as graphical or musical as the desktop versions but it has all the other features like the resources, buildings, army, wars. Begin an online portal, there can be hundreds if not more player playing at the same time.

In travian the player start as a chief of a village. Almost all the villages are same, they have some resource where you can extract wood, clay, iron and crop.  The village center has some building area where we can build new buildings like, granary, barracks, palace etc Typical strategy game stuff. In the travian world you have neighboring villages which is owned by fellow players. You can interact with these players and trade resources. One can also form alliances. And the feature list goes on and on.

Travian is served in many sub domains so that the no of players can be distributed. They also have different servers for different countries. Eg. s1.travian.com, s2.travian.com , s1.travian.us, s1.travian.ca etc.

My village is in s2.travian.com. Its called NicoBar (The land of Nicos.). My nickname kmanicka.


After a long stint with blogger i have decided to move to the Wordpress. Blogger is great for a starter but as we grow we see its limitations.

Wordpress has more flexibility compared to blogger and being open source it has lots of plugins and templates available. Plus the support community is prety large which can help us resolve our day to day problems.

I have choosen BlueHost for hosting the blog. The blog is called Digital Derby.

I will be cross posting to this blog and the new blog for a while. And once the new blog is fully set up, I will leave this blog as is.
