It’s Brilliant !!!

I am surprised and happy that the upgrade went so smooth. Although I’ve learnt my computers mostly on Windows based Operating Systems, I, like many other web developers have grown a dislike towards microsoft products. (IE and the BS of Death are the culprits, no doubts there) But things like this smooth upgrade, or awesomeness of Visual Studio as an IDE does take your mind off from all the crappy IE stuff.

No matter how much I hate IE, I’d like to take a moment here and thank Microsoft for this uneventful Windows 7 upgrade, Visual Studio and the Age of Empires II The Conquerors Expansion.

Thank You,

Two, reason I did not post anything here because I didnt really do anything superspecial over last month or more. Maybe a couple of things I did were potentially superspecial, such as a trip to Las Vegas or San Francisco, but I somehow didnt just felt like posting. I know not why.

Today however, I did a stuff that’s fun, computer-ry and something that should be here. Today, out of random, I went and got myself a USB TV Tuner card and had it set up with my lappy. Intention was to ultimately convert my lappy into a DVR and use it as my entertainment system. All the set-up, installation and configuration went smooth. The configuration wizard with Windows Media Center doesnt quite let you go wrong. Though all of that went well, it turns out that my existing lappy is not good enough to handle the recording, capturing and display of the input fed to it through the tuner card. Over the period of two years I have effectively doomed my lappy with a whole lot of windows applications crap.

In other news, The website jaguarnac.com completed three years in mid February.  I’m happy as ever. Wishing you to be the same.

Funny how it works. Each cargo has its own train.. the passenger is only one though. These trains… their appearance, their speed and the comfort within varies with its cargo. Some journeys are joyous, relaxing treats, some though, take a dark, lifeless path. The only passenger on these, is mostly misguided. For he, is just a traveler on the path. Neither does he know the way, nor does the train. They just follow the path of where the cargo needs to reach.

It does take some definite efforts to streamline the schedule of these trains. Build their routes, navigate them to the desired destination safe and sound.
For the better of the passenger, the station has to be good. It has to be clean, well prepared, well scheduled …
Station needs to control the trains that leave, it must asses the cargo before approving the departure.
And the passenger??
Best if he could be the stationmaster.

(who has no idea why he took this train…)

It’s been years since I wanted to get my hands on that awesome gaming console. I’m loving it and am more than happy about it. Netflix on that is just the cherry on the cake (or something like that) …

Its been over a month here now, total of about four months of my US experience. This time, I’m here for some significant time. So far, I’ve managed to get myself a nice place to stay with descent rent and low commute time. All equipments required to maintain online communications are well in place.

funniest part so far is that I’ve started cooking some stuff at home.

For last 23 years, I had absolute no need to cook any food for myself. For one, my mother and grandmother cook awesome and healthy food and two, they are always in kitchen… its their empire, their rules. Whenever i tried to cook back home, if at all, i always managed to mess something up, further diminishing my interest in cooking food for myself.

I cant just yet say that I’m loving it, but so far, the produce I’ve managed to obtain from my cooking did not taste bad. It was not spicy, interesting, awesome taste. but for sure, it did not taste bad. This result is good enough to keep my faith in myself and improve in this area. Till that happens, whenever I cook, I’m simply playing safe by taking digestive medicine before hitting the bed.

Few initial days, when I had no TV and no Internet, were pretty boring and lonely.  X-mas was good time for me to hunt for the house and get settled. With the help of some friends here, I was able to get up and running with my basic needs !

Thats about it.

PlayStation is fun, netflix is awesome, my daal doesnt taste bad, I like southpark and I hate rains !!!
