Funny Orkut Bug

September 29th, 2007

Everybody was so happy with the new orkut design that it was looking like Google is really on the way to knock out all other social networking sites. But this new design brought some crap with it. The homepage notifications which included daily updates on profile, photo, video updates from friends was really irritating. It turned out to be very annoying for a lot of people to see all that info on you orkut home-page.

My new ViewSonic VG1930WM 19″ WideScreen LCD monitor

August 29th, 2007

Finally after stumbling for almost 2 months, I have got my brand new ViewSonic VG1930WM 19″ WideScreen LCD monitor. I gathered the money almost 2 – 3 months ago, but was not able to decide which monitor should be purchased. For last two months, I stumbled on Samsung SyncMaster 940NW which was a bit costlier for the features, AOC 199S which was also costlier, ViewSonic VG1930WM which provided the same features, but the price was a bit attractive. I browsed through enormous monitor reviews, huge price lists on the internet and what not. Then in the beginning of this month when I was about to go to buy the monitor, I was told that the Paradise market remains closed on Sundays. Then, we have hectic schedule throughout the week, so could not go. Then these hyderabad serial blasts went off, again a hurdle.

DC par BC

August 23rd, 2007

Sometime at IIIT-H, I experience serious shortage of social networking. You always see computers all around you. Computer in the reality, computers in the dreams. What the hell ?? Right now, at 4:20am if I just look around in 360 degrees view, all I can see is 15-20 computer screens, some with some crappy screen-savers, others with locked screens and some switched off. All I can hear is the sound produced by the fans used for CPU cooling. I am up at 4:20am and writing this blog. What computers made me ? I am no more than a machine with some AI. But thanks to the chat clients, orkut, and dc++ which helps me to keep in touch with friends, family and other fellows.

Madness !!!!!

August 7th, 2007

Sometimes you do something, which you can’t even imagine. It will not be something new if I curse mess food for its quality. But what if I suffer overeating in mess, people will think that I have lost my mind. But thats what happened yesterday.

August 3rd, 2007

Long time, no post. Actually nothing significant happened in last one and a half month that might have been worth noticing. But something significant happened suddenly that I couldn’t stop myself from writing this post.

Best Summer Ever

June 10th, 2007

One of my friends recently flamed me on yahoo saying what the hell are you up to “Bye Bye Windows, Hi Hi Linux ???”. Because I was having my status messages like “Bye Bye Windows”, “Fedora 7″ etc. etc. So, I have chosen the title for this post “Best Summer Ever” instead of “Bye Bye Summer’07″.

Its HOT !!!

May 19th, 2007

Woke up in the morning at 7:30am (hey i am not joking) with no prior engagements. The first task, just rush to OBH mess for parathas (its a part of routine now … me, Mahaveer, Deepak, Alok, Nitin, Ajay and sometimes some more friends are having breakfast with 99% regularity). The quality of the parathas has fallen considerably in last 2-3 days, as we are eating parathas like we were starving for centuries … some of us even eat 10 of them … is 10 bucks for 10 parathas are justified in anyway ? keeping in mind out attendance and starvation, the caterer has finally decided to compromise and quality, so its not a enjoyable anymore the have breakfast. [The first disappointment of the day].

Exciting Summer

May 9th, 2007

This summer, life is pretty much exiciting as compared to the last year because a lot of colleagues are here in the campus. Age of Empires day and night along with a bit of project work and some other coding stuff. Day before yesterday, I was up all the night playing AOE. I slept between 11am-03pm in the ug2 lab. I attended my project meeting between 4pm-5pm. I was almost dead in the meeting due to sleep. Then, I slept between 5pm-00:30am in the hostel. After that canteen and from 2:00am-7:00am, guess what … AOE again.

Declaration !!!

June 14th, 2006

This is the declaration for the readers of this blog, if any ;) for their future readings. After this I’ll not be responsible if you feel hurt at any stage reading my blog.
Note:- This blog is not at all written for those who are looking for a good presentation using hi-fi english vocabulary and a good readability. I am not going to use any paragraphs and heading because as far as I think this is not my English literature note book where everything should be as accurate as defined by the rules. I am going to make the hazardous egnlish grramar mistooks and you may not like them. So, if you are looking for a very stylish, accurate, good looking blog, go here. As far as I think everybody tries to prove himself as the leader and more intelligent and so do I. If you feel hurt at any stage while reading my blog because I am trying to prove myself a geek or something like that, I’ll not be responsible. I generally post things which are useless but I dont find any reasons not to post. I am paying for the internet connection as my college fee and I have bought this microsoft keyboard for around 500/-, so I should use it as much as possible, irrespective of what garbage I type. Also you may not know me, but believe me, I am not posting here to introduce myself to you. Hey, wait you can read my blog if you hate PSs, because I use them on rare occasions.
