A technology enthusiast gone horribly wrong..somewhere.
This ad is awesome! If it was any better, I would have had an orgasm. Ten Times over. No, seriously! I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to do this sometime! Wait for the slow-mo part. It is such a sadistic pleasure!
Finally watched the movie yesterday. Must say its worth a watch for sure, though I’m a good four years older than what I should be to actually appreciate the movie completely. It’s a totally feel good, stress relieving movie that sure does make you feel chirpy. Its not that there are downsides to the movie either (can someone PLEASE explain to me where on earth are such beautiful houses near CST, or, why must they drive along Marine Drive always, no matter where they are going), but I can see why college students are simply in love with this movie (People all over gushing “Imran Khan is soooooooooooooooooooo cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute”). Needless to say, the music is top notch, though nothing close to Rahman’s best.
Besides, an uncanny resemblance, character, attitude and mannerism wise to someone I know very well made the experience absolutely worth it. 
Thumbs up, though its not worth a DVD or a 2.5GB DivX download.
Yeah, right..Signboard near Vashi station..Can anyone figure out directions from this board?
Today’s newspaper. Dhirubhai Ambani’s death anniversary. Check the newspaper cutting in the video, to how the famous spat between the brothers is in public. I will not say anything further, lest I lose my job..
My Internet Connection at home stopped working out of the blue on Thursday. Got some basic troubleshooting going, pinging the gateway et al, and finally figured it was a remote issue with Tata Indicom, since I could not even ping the Gateway.
A dozen irritating calls to Tech Support followed, with assurances that my service would be up soon. Friday passed, and so did Saturday. No response. Finally today morning, I had an engineer ringing my doorbell for some ‘troubleshooting’. The guy has one look at my wireless router, plugs out the power cable, plugs it back in, and voila!
Turns out my router had hung, and me, with all my ‘Masters in networking’ did not manage to figure something so trivial. Nice reminder, that…
Yeah, I know I’ve not been blogging for a while. Been busy with blah, and hardly ever..blah blah blah! Getting back to the point, check out this article, which shook me right out of my work routine, and had me in splits for a while!’
I mean, seriously..WTF?
There seem to be some advantages of staying late in office for research purposes, looks like. The pic below summarises what happened today at 6pm.
And yeah, I was downloading this off the public Internet…
Ah, Life!
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 started off on Facebook as an alternative to Orkut, pretty impressed by its privacy settings. It was a slick web application, more so because it let you add applications of your own, and hence came along SuperPoke, Superlatives, SuperWall, Characteristics and what not.
Thirteen years ago, to the exact minute of this post, I lost my grandmother. The sole person responsible for me retaining my mental balance from a not so pleasant childhood.
Well, this is a long pending review of the Nokia N95, which I bought during Diwali. Things happened, I got busy with work, there was a MAJOR firmware upgrade and stuff. Now that the dust has settled down, I think its high time I devote some time and pen down MY review, for the benefit of Supremus and perhaps, others too.
