Its been a really bad Friday, Satruday and Sunday. Fell sick on Friday, was sick on Satruday and still sick on Sunday. But today is an all new day cos today is a monday. Had a good starting with a few experimenting on the comp. Good day for work. I hope work starts getting more comfy from today. Still caughing a lot but taking strepsils. Practised a lot of speed techniques on the guitar on the weekend and that is something that I am happy about. I want to seriously get into soloing but there is no proper guidance. One thing that I can be proud of is all that I am today is all by myself.

Sometimees you feel that the Govt has lost its F***** mind when makind decision. I dont know whether banning 22 blogging sites whould have any impact on terrrorism. Rather that would cause an uproar amond regular bloggers like me. But there are workarounds for accessing sites like these. Just use any proxifying site and you can access the blog. Also this gives you an excuse to use your own server to host a blog. Something that I do.

At last I suceeded in having things work on VMWARE but the problem was that I did not know how to start Xserver from the shell. So I am downloading the VMWARE appliance for Ubuntu. Lets see if that works. Once I have the results, I will be able to project a comparision charts.

I spent quite sometime on the installation and the usage and realized that it was just not worth all the time that I spent on that, Right now I am installing VMWare and try to run Maybe FreeBSD or Ubuntu as a virtual appliance. If even this does not work, then I guess I have a to buy a laptop that is compatible with Linux. Will post the conclusion later

At office I have been seeing a lot of people who deal with so many formats of audio and video media that are available. The devices are capable of encoding into several formats but the problem comes with the decoding. There is not one place where you find all the codecs for decoding. I searched for this and found something that should satisfy all the medis decoding needs. This codec packs supports close to a hundred formats. Almost every one in the world. A sure must download. And also while installation try using BS player cos it is smaller and easier to handle. http://www.codecguide.com/download_mega.htm
