There was something that I had to change but was unable to figure out. I got so restless about it that I changed the url of my blog to /blog. This way I though I would be able to manage my overall site content even more effectively as well as have a cool flash intro screen.

Technology sometimes makes you so lame that you fail to realize the simplest of the things. Was experimenting with different OSs on my Desktop at home that in the end I managed to have it crashed. Was fun fixin it back but took me the whole saturday to do that.

Sometimes I feel that I am not giving myself that much importance as much as I should be. There are so many things that I should be doin and which I am not doin. Life is so much like sipping of beer on weekends.

I was thinking of giving my personal computing some mobility. So after researching quite some for some laptop, found that Compaq has the best deals of all. Bought this one Compaq Presario 3228AU for 36grand which I think is quite a good deal considering the fact that I upgraded the RAM to a gig. It runs pretty fine with Vista on a subscore of like 2.4. That is good enough to give us good graphics. Right now I am all set with the installed software. Just one last thing left. Its called nothing. I think now I have pretty much all that I need. As usual the general excuse of busy schedule, but at least I am able to call a few people on the weekends and talk to them. Gott lesser greviances from people now. Mom is pretty ok with my schedule now. That makes things even more simple.

Ever since I came back from MV, got this disease of travelling even more. There are so many places that I realized that I havent seen. Got a lot to do and a lot more to do.

Found some very interesting features in Vista that I thought might be usefull to others. Will write about them later as I explore them even more.

Been a long time that I havent written much by myself. Life has gone just so disorganized now. Need to do something about this, I always used to put up an excuse that I dont have enough time to blog but it might just that I am not using my time properly. No time and patience to practice my music, no time for people at home on the weekdays. A lot things that have to be taken care of.

Shifted my focus a lot towards linux.  Found ubuntu to be the best platform to start with. Some of the best things that I notice about ubuntu are

1. It comes bare naked.

2. The easiest install I have ever seen. In fact its easier than windows.

3. Has an optional KDE package in the name of Kubuntu. I use Kubuntu always cos I just like the level of customization and the window management.

4. Its small.

5. And the most important that it free.

So alll the people who are thinking of switching to Vista, take a back step and look into the world of open source. You can have all those eye candy and more by just install beryl. I have a lil tough time cos I was having the Dapper Drake version. But I am going to put up the instruction for Edgy and Feisty very soon. Its a piece of cake installing all these on the new version.

We are thinking of starting an acoustic like band at the office playing the Metal but the box style. Its all about the old school attitude. Though we have like about 4 to 5 songs in the mind to start with, we are just too lazy to START in the first place.

Planning to change my ISP at home cos this shitty Airtel is just too expensive for the lil use that I have. Thinkin of shifting to Beam cable that a lot of people have advised me to de. Its affordable, fast enough and unlimited.

Its a really good saturday today after the late night venture with Mazhar, Nash and Meshal. A Really pleasant start to a weekend infact.
