Who wants your New year Wishes?
It is crazy how many unsolicited “New year Wishes” mail I have in my inbox. Give up your generosities and philanthropy and get some work done guys. I am talking to cleartrip and IRCTC and bigadda and minglebox and indiaproperty and even some Mutual fund guys like Birla sun life and reliance.
My inbox and time is a little more precious than you think.
You gotta know this
The two billionth photo on Flickr. I am sure someone is asking about this in some quiz somewhere.
zero petrol for a week
I ve had this on my mind for a long time. A Bicycle. Yesterday, I got my motorbike towed away for putting it in a NO-parking zone. It was a pain finding the bike back especially when I was crunched for time. And I parked there because of intolerable traffic in the first place.
I was also contemplating buying a swift mostly because many people around me started asking me if I was going to buy a car. Sometime during the last week I also read an article about how global oil production has already peaked and gone (sometime in 2006, they claim).
Anyways, the climax of all of this ended up with a bicycle. Now I have another mission to accomplish. Zero petrol until 4th november. Wish me all the best.
They succumbed too
Sure, you are welcome to move the blog wherever you want. But giving two line snippets off on the feed and making people click, wait for the page to load to see the post with half the page taken up by stuff that I dont care about…I didnt expect that from you guys.. Very annoying.
ubuntu2mac in one day
So, here is something I wasted one full day on. The day I got my laptop, I was eager to make a mac out of my gnome/ubuntu. I got a few of them working. Like the GDM theme, the iconset, the window manager theme, setting up the carousel etc. I would attribute most of my work to this blog entry here. Quite neat and thanks.
Ofcourse, somewhere along, I lost interest. Guess the new gizmo enthusiasm lasted for less than a couple of days. It was about a week for my Nokia N73 and prolly a day for my currently-defunct video Ipod.
A view you will get only in bangalore!
Took this pic yesterday on my walk to office. There is ANZ round the corner as well, but my Nokia N73 doesnt have a wide angle lens like my eyes.
This is Embassy Golf Links, Along Inner Ring road in Bangalore.
finally.. Moblogging on blogger
Tada.. I have finally managed to set up my nokia n73 to work with gmail mail servers and blogger's mail interface. So this maiden blog comes straight from my phone. Considering i am posting after such a long time, i guess you guys deserved better. No more crap posts. Promise.
iPhone Hello
How in the world did I miss this ad? Many thanks to Anand to pointing this out!
Sumit Misra on the drums
Check out my friend Sumit jamming on his drums. He claims he plays much better now. And he is already quite good over here. So, I guess he is phenomenal now. Watch out for the hyper paced roll in between. If you like d it, send him a message at sumit underscore misra underscore 3 at hotmail (without the spaces, ofcourse)
Covering Mandira bedi..Or exposing..
Considering there is a strong possibility that the team might head home soon, the only interesting thing left in world cup would be Mandira Bedi.. I will try to cover her as time and matches progresses. Watch out for more Bedi on this space.
