Tech..........

its been long since i last posted something, and i cant seem to help the fact that this blog is pretty boring.

this month ,a computer magazine had a separate booklet on blogging. Reading that made me feel sorry for myself. i had no clue that people can make millions through blogging. An indian guy has this blog about technology reviews and so and makes around a cool million rupees a month. WOW :o

www.labnol.blogspot.com

thats some serious shit.

and the worlds most popular blog www.perezhilton.com, makes a lot of greenbacks which are practically uncountable.

but these guys are all serious bloggers, spending about 16-20 hrs a day on blogging alone. thats some job
well i guess if ur really into a job and that job actually rewards u with loads of moneybags, then u really shouldn't mind spending even 24 hrs a day.

i knw i wouldn't.

well all this money talk about bloggers is getting into me and who knows maybe in the next few months u might see me in their ranks and raking in all the moolah ;)

Dapper Drake ROX !!!!!

well in the last post, i did mention about the ManU-Chelsea match. Well it was a tame draw ( not that it was boring). Anyways ManU have beaten Benfica and have qualified top of their group in the CL. And they lead Chelsea by 5 pts in the EPL.

so not bad huh :D


At last, i've got dapper drake(read Ubuntu 6.06) up and running on my 20 gigger hdd. Its A.W.E.S.O.M.E to say the least. i mean where the hell was i all along, missing all the fun with Linux. I've used it for 2 days now and Windows is sooooo boring. The only problems i have is with the commands in Linux but no sweat, you always have the GUI to help u. and not to forget, the millions of forums that cater to various open source softwares.

Any problem under the sun can be googled and presto, there u have the solution

Now i can watch movies and do everything i could under Windows. When i used FC for a few days, i hardly could figure out anything about it but ubuntu seems so friendly.

Well, other than that i have nothing better to do these days. I now possess a movie collection that boasts of nearly 300 movies. Thats kewl but i haven't watched even 10 of those. i'll prolly keep on collecting these until i'm bored.
And hols are really boring. i'm surprised that i can hardly read any books these days. i'm so immersed in the comp that i forget everything else.

sheeesh

try this www.ubuntu.org

yeah it seems my template is all screwed up now.
so had to delete a few posts that suddenly turned up in Webdings (i dunno how :O)

back again

this has been a long time coming.
i dont know whos reading this stuff but maybe i'll write just for myself being the narcissist i am.

Well for starters, i was reading my previous post and realise that Schumacher is no longer in F1. he's bid adieu and its very depressing that he left without that 8th star on his cap.

Well i dont wanna talk about F1 anymore. Its boring and when u have drivers like Lamer and Fisico who can put their foot on the pedal only if the pedal exists ;)
There are a few good ones still like Kimi etc. whos prolly the single most unluckiest driver in F1 and bright new talents like Vettel and Kubisca. But F1 now is all about luck. Talent no longer is the key to winning world titles.
Sheeesh i'm digressing again.

ok to hell with F1. My endsems are going on and i'm lazing around hopelessly. Everyone i speak to is mugging tonnes of books, while here i am browsing the net for that next DVD RIP thats available.


These days i've been able to utilise the true potential of torrents. Heil Bram Cohen and Bit torrent inc.
I've been able to obtain access to literally anything under the sun (And this has compounded my laziness). Now i download anything, i mean anything off the net. Actually i've become so hopeless that i prolly can't live without the internet anymore :(
Private trackers to Torrents are absolutely awesome. I found this site
www.midnight-torrents.com and it provides me with almost everything i need and at blazing speeds that fully utilise the complete potential of my broadband connection.

the only regret i have is, I'm prolly torturing my Comp to death. The thing hasn't been switched off even for a second since 12 days, 16 hours and 52 minutes to be precise :D
the thing is so slow that i'm sure even a 486 would be faster. ;)

now i've got an exam to mug for but that doesn't seem to deter me from leaving this thing. This has gotten me addicted and i have no idea how i'm gonna live without a comp if ever such a situation arises.

i'm digressing again lol.

So where was i ?? Yeah Torrents. Torrents seem to be the best gift that the internet could have ever been given. i also now understand the necessity of sharing and helping others and how much that really benefits me.

I actually have a dumb ADSL connection that on paper gives me 256kbps download capabilities and 64kbps upload capabilities. Thats grossly misbalanced and yet i end up seeding more than that i leech(for n00bs, seeding==uploading and leeching==downloading :D lol )
hey i also realise that a few small tweaks and mods on the software can actually improve ur bandwidth by a HUGE margin.

so even though i'm stuck with that gross unbalance in the upload and download speeds, i get speeds of around 100KBps for download and 20KBps for upload.
BSNL rox ;)


maybe this blog is soporofic, i'm really drowsy after writing so much.
i'll be back sooner rather than later (hopefully :) )
