Blog saving tag! July 27, 2006

The lady with smiles (smilethesmile.blogspot.com) tagged me and gave me some reason to post here. Waise I have no plans of removing this blog, but don’t know when regular service will begin again.

Anyways, here goes the tag:

I am thinking…

What all I’ll do when the college re-opens.

I said…

I have wasted all my holidays, and thats sooooooo true!!

I want…

To get a broadband connection ASAP, but Airtel isnt getting permission to lay lines in our Govt. housing and I don’t want BSNL’s connection

I wish…
There were more online stores in India, so that I don’t have to look at “cheap” 500$ robotics kits!!

I miss…

The college!!It may sound rubbish to people preparing for CAT (which means almost evrybody around me!) but its very true in my case!

I hear…

The hmming sound of fan and constant of yahoo as I am chatting while writing this…

I wonder…

Why people follow the crowd without even once thinking whether its right for them or not.

I regret…

A lot of thing, but can live with it…

I am…

An emotional fool.(Its funny that I read this phrase for the first time in my 6th-7th PUNJABI book but I find it the most appropriate term to define myself)

I dance…

Very rarely and even then its more aerobics than dancing!!

I sing…

In the bathroom

I cry…

Many times, but its not visible to people around me. Who said that tears and sobbing are necessary for crying?

I am not…

A person who will accept anything without undersatnding it myself.
I write…

To see how long i can continue with it!!

I confuse…

Left with right (and vice versa) everytime!!

I need…

To study a bit and stop wasting time on PC.

I should…

Shut down the PC in next 5 minutes (which I wont )

I finish…

With my holidays this weekend, and needless to say, am too happy for it!!

I tag…

Zechito (he he if you wont tell others about your blog soon….I WILL tell!)

Sirius (waiting to see how wierd your list will be!!)

Hello WordPress! July 17, 2006

I had been blogging for quite some time on Blogger.com, but was not happy with a few things, and though there was no immediate problem but I decided that it will be better to remove the entire blog and start afresh. It was a tough decision to remove the blog with its over 50 posts and hundreds of comments. But sometimes you can’t get what all you want and life must move on. Now the earlier blog with all its posts and comments lies as a 1 MB zipped file in my mailbox!

Exception is the rule July 5, 2006

It is said “exception is the rule in biology”. But I feel
its also the rule almost everywhere(or at least in
electronics).

I tried installing
linux on my and my friend’s PC. Same DVD worked fine
on one Laptop and refused to install on the PC!! Same
CDs worked once
but the next day they won’t work even on the same PC!!
Finally after getting Linux up and ready, I could not
connect the two PCs through LAN card. But when I tried 2-3
times more, it worked!! I did nothing different and still,
once it worked while at other times it didn’t!

If I remove my hard-disk or add any other hard-disk to my
PC, most of the times my PC wont boot. Then after 3rd or 4th
try and by slightly tapping on the motherboard and
hard-disk, it will work!!

It reminds me of the times when my
Chachaji/Mamaji/Cousin
used to give a few jerk/tap to the TV when it won’t catch
DD1 or changing the position of radio to get the reception
of BBC.

Still it beats me how giving a tap/jerk or changing the
position by few cms
can make an electronics equipment work.
