A wish-list for prizes here...

Have been thinking about it, I want "a Day on Popular Blogs roll" at least once... *shy* I never reached that step, and some Bloggers have like got their permanent address registered there 

Nice wish Punit. Maybe indiblogger can reserve one day every month for highlighting one blog... this selection will be based entirely on the discretion of the indi-team and they will have their own 'secret' parameters for this prize.

So on this day, the contests head-mast will carry another... the 'prized blogger' of the month!

Wow! Hope Indi-team is following this thread....this 'Prized Blogger of the Month' is really a good idea...in fact it can only be selected on some 'random' parameters to give some limelight to under-exposed bloggers too...

Time again to see if there can be any additions to the wish-list of prizes.

Nikon has just launched D600... can SLRs be given away as prizes? If yes, I think, Indiblogger will have the largest number of bloggers working hard over their posts. I must say though that the rule of 'only one post' is GREAT! No messy posts... everyone thinks and then posts... no irrelevant and unconnected posts... the Melbourne contest is a good example of neat blogging.

Any more prize ideas, bloggers? 

I second the idea of only one post per contest/topic.

Indi could have a Blogger of the Month type of initiative and instead of having hype over Tech Goodies- be it phones, DSLR's etc... some other segment of goodies should be more emphasised, like they people had Flipkart vouchers. Coupons for Free Restaurant Food could be considered. Or Some sort of a chance to interview a celebrity which people can post to their blogs later on , which would also help newbiews build an audience.

We have observed that the subject or topic for many contests appeals to women... and, not surprisingly, women feature majorly as the winners. This sounds so unchallenging.

Indi contests must have some fun challenge in their contests... for instance, have a contest on beauty products for women open to just male bloggers! Now here we talk of path-breaking (hopefully, not path-braking!) ideas and expressions emerging in the blogging world. For a change we'll have male bloggers walking away with hair-straightners and lip-stick sets! Now come on, don't ask me what they will do with these prizes... :)

their wives n girlfriends would snatch away those prizes, so ultimately the female would win, albeit indirectly.

Renault Duster !<3 <3 <3or err the RELIANCE GOODIE BAG CUM IPOD!LOL

An old thread unwilling to go away or fade away is ample proof that it is still giving vital inputs to the indi team... :)

While I am winning, I hope Renie finds some sponser like DLF or Hubtown who will gift a penthouse apartment in Worli (worth 14.5 crores) 

You want a 14.5 crore gift?  The max they can give is a 1-2 lakh discount voucher 

This is a wish list aint it  You can wish a trip to mars if you want  or a visit to CERN 

.

@VP: Mujhe worli nahi bhi ho toh chalega, a house in Navi Mumbai will also do

Ah every blogger needs new gadgets ......I think everyone will be having a long wish list...

Though I never Win and I never Hope I do, But If I Do then

Nikon or Cannon DSLR Mirrorless with additional lenses (all kinds micro, macro, telephoto)

Iphone 5

Macbook Air

Nexus 4

Bas Itna sa Khwab Hai

ND You want juice of silk worms? 

Vijay Cadbury Diary Milk Silk 

yuck...how can you think such psycho things....dog juice and now silk worm juice....eeewww u have them by the bucketful :x

Ranjith always elaborate 

ND It was you who thought that silk = silk worms 

Vijay ok 

Maybe the Silk Board will sponser a contest just for Ranjith 

Which silk? SIlk garments or silk worms? 

u wanted  silk --- silk is made by silk worms - so indirected u wanted sik worms....i never wanted their juice

ND You eat masala dosa. Rice fllour comes from rice. Rice comes from rice crop. Rice crop grows on rice fields. They need manure. Manure is decomposed dead matter. Silk worms can also be used for making manure. Silk juice comes from silk worms.

Ranjith

What a courteous person you are! 

I know! Thanks man 

Now, A should add IB smileys to his wish list 

lol, good one!  

.

deleted 7 GB cache and things worked.

R, your that stupid thing worked.

Thanks god, things got sorted before restarting the pc and hammering it. 

what was baffling tht things worked in Opera. 

7 GB cache! 

Stupid solutions are the best solutions! 

now wats 7gb cache?

ND ka doubts shuru ho gaya. 

Recently opened web pages, images etc are stored on your computer's hard disk so that the next time you open the same web page or image, they are shown by accessing the files on the hard disk instead of accessing them from the internet. This is called caching.

On Avadhoot's computer, the total size of the files in his cache was 7GB. 

ok...i didnt know...how to check cache??

I am seriously wondering if the sort of discussion you guys are having on this thread has anything to do with the thread...

Though now I have a fair idea of how one becomes a 'forum hero'! :) Thank you.

You are using chrome, right?

Type chrome://net-internals/#httpCache in your browser's address bar. 

You will get something like:

Statistics

• Cache type: Blockfile Cache
• Create error: 0x0
• Create hit: 0xb3ed
• Create miss: 0x0
• Current size: 227572546

That 227572546 ( or whatever number is shown to you ) is your cache size in bytes. Divide it with ( 1024 * 1024 * 1024 ) to get the size in GB. 

• Current size: 55195390

My first wish is to win an IB contest though. My first win 

A fairly reasonable wish... and one that depends entirely on your writing strengths. :) All the best!

Thank you, sir :)

AP, good to see this thread active again, your wishes for dishwasher, bose music system nd some others seem to have come true with ambi pur win :)

Ah! We had bought those things this year... but yes, the Ambipur prize does help us with our wish to replace our old desktop. :)

5. Some world-class publisher inviting & accepting my manuscript for a novel

awesome..!!!

I have a long list of wishes...I wrote some accidentally one first page thinking it to be recent thread...however, there's no end to wishes and let there be no end to indicontests!

I dunno if I win..I dunno what clicks me when...a year back I was dying to win a certain stuff, but when I won, I wasn't thrilled as I never received that from sponsors and soon forgotten about it :)

Trip to Paris, my all-time fav destination, home away from home. Cannot wait to go back again.

1. Harley Davidson (any model). If not Royal Enfield (Classic 500 or cafe racer).

2. A sponsored world tour (I will be happy to be associated with a travel company and work as well).

3. A paid workshop (Theatre, photography, art).

4. Sky Diving (Hawaii), Bunjee Jumping (New Zealand) and a visit to Amazon Rainforest.

5. A lens for Nature PHotography.

Thats all for now, more later, 

Well, if everybody is expressing their wish, why shouldn't I? I have a very simple wish. I want 40 Cr. INR.

Why that exact amount?

princess ke liye to itna amount daily ka pocket money hotey hai...but question is why r u wishing for it :D Tumhari tijori khali ho gaya kya? 

Pankti Are you sure 40 crore will be enough? I would be stealing 39.99999 crores from it. 

@NSV, yeah...I have already decided the division of that money

@ND, yeah... meri tijori khali hai!

@Ranjith,

what are you going to spend on?

Inner peace!...can these contests gift me some?

Yes, if you win
