The past couple of weeks at home have been spent brainstorming. I was running Windows Vista, but I’m simply not impressed with it. My dual core P4 with 2Gigs of RAm slow down to a crawl sometimes on it, with a 512mb NVidia Geforce 7300 Graphics card slow down toa crawl on it, and its quite disconcerting when that happens. Switched over to Ubuntu 7.10, and was more than impressed by it. Compiz Fusion knocks the living daylights out of Aero. The look and feel of the OS was very, very impressive. I then made the decision to switch over completely to Ubuntu. The overall experience seems so much more stable, and enough eye candy without having to compromise on resources.Unfortunately, I do not think its going to materialise in the long run, even though Ubuntu is a superior OS to MS Windows in many ways. Here’s a few reasons why. (more…)

When you’re messing with Computers and live computer networks, sometimes, you experiment with things and they fail. Sometimes, they’re successful, until they are detected by over-enthusiastic sysadmins wanting to prove a point. That has happened. Access to this blog has been banned from my office, for a reason no one who’s ever visited this blog for the past 2 years has known about. Yes, access, only to this blog. No SEV, I can still see your blog, so can I see the parent domain. But I cannot see my own blog.
No, there was no content censorship, but something that really cannot be explained here, for reasons best kept secret.
And hence, there shall not be any posts from work anymore, until and unless I’m using my N82 to post something.

I was spending my time in the doldrums. I was caught in the cauldron of hate. I felt persecuted and paralyzed. I thought that everything else would just wait. While you are wasting your time on your enemies. Engulfed in a fever of spite. Beyond your tunnel vision reality fades. Like shadows into the night. To martyr yourself to caution. Is not going to help at all. Because there’ll be no safety in numbers.
When the Right One walks out of the door. Can you see your days blighted by darkness?. Is it true you beat your fists on the floor?. Stuck in a world of isolation. While ivy grows over the door.
So I open my door to my enemies. And I ask could we wipe the slate clean. But they tell me to please go fuck myself.
You know you just can’t win.

There’s a silence surrounding me. I can’t seem to think straight. I’ll sit in the corner. No one can bother me. I think I should speak now. I can’t seem to speak now. My words won’t come out right. I feel like I’m drowning. I’m feeling weak now. But I can’t show my weakness. I sometimes wonder. Where do we go from here? It doesn’t have to be like this. All we need to do is make sure we keep talking.
Why won’t you talk to me. You never talk to me. What are you thinking. What are you feeling. Where do we go from here??
I feel like I’m drowning. You know I can’t breathe now. We’re going nowhere. We’re going nowhere.
There is more to ‘Keep Talking’ than what meets the eye.
