Move

A couple of weekends back, I moved to my new apartment. This past 3 years, I had been living with roommates but now, I have gone away from this whole "common" experience. No more sharing bills, meals or blaming each other for the apartment's conditions! I am by myself now. The first step to start off living in a new apartment is a painful step. It's the Move - packing, transfering and un-packing! How hard can that be? For starters, there are hundreds of websites which will give you advice to do things in certain ways for making it least painful during this miserable stage.

I realised I had left one in my car, one at Patil's place and the third and last one was missing. A bright, yellow jacket had disappeared in thin air! I scan my entire apartment and couldn't it. After wasting 10 minutes in finding the jacket, I opted to just run to my car. I drive like a crazy NASCAR driver to reach office in record time. Never seen a NASCAR race but that's my general impression about this sport. Crazy, ass driving! When I...

XP to X

Its about time I wrote something about the company I admire the most (even more than Google). Apple will officially support dual-boot XP on their hardware. This'll give me a chance to switch to Apple without completely losing my XP usage experience. Gradually, I can move away from Windows apps and transition to Apple. [via tuaw ]
