Getting ready for college website

After working for like one month, I was able to get the college site to its final layout. I choose a pretty simple look and color combination. The site itself is in beta phase. Some testing is needed for other web browser. I abandoned the IE6, (yeah its long gone and i don't want to create extra CSS for it anyways). while other web browser worked fine, I had some problems with IE7-8.

Temple Artworks

I find Temple artwork very amazing , descriptive and creative. Some Artwork are related to tales ,lore or stories of gods while other are just demonstrating faith of people over their religion. It really exciting to learn that how artists used to work in the past with little less technology at their hands and were still able to create some marvelous artworks.

Going Open Source

I find it really hard to believe how people will run after genuine commercial products where an "Open source " alternate is possible. I am a huge fan of the Open source Community and i believe in sharing knowledge with world. In My own college I advice my student to always look for an Open Source alternate to their software needs.

History And Computer Science

Specialization is a word that is used pretty often in one's skill. Does it mark ones potential for research work and innovation? May be not, I have seen over past year the merge of different categories to invent something new.
When people start combining things up , some pretty interesting fields emerge out of it.
And I still believe merging things up to produce new topics of research. Prof. YashPal once said, " Students should be allowed to switch between fields at higher studies level". So a physics student can learn humanity, or a Computer Student can learn history. All seems to be completely weird and illogical, but this type of convergence allows new research topics. ( combining geology with computer science to produce GIS is a classical example ).
My recent idea is to archiving records of history architecture, tradition and manuscript. A Good database could serve many people. With online capability the data would be accessible to all part of world.

Need for Historical Archive in himachal

I dont think there are many places in himachal where you can get a good historical archives for places, tradition ,dialects or rituals. Our own religion and customs ,which are fading away with time. I cant see classical houses in my home town. Traditional ways of architectures , customs and artistic work are diminishing. A good way needs to be formulated for proper catalogging these things.
With the technology on our hand, I think it can be done .Its necessary for us to preserve our own past and culture which will be fading to death pretty soon.
