Which "Friends" charecter is your twin?

Well it finally happened. What was being resisted for long by the government and being postponed for quite sometime has happened. The price of petrol (Gasoline for those of you from the US :-P ) and diesel has been increased. In Bangalore, where I live, it is now INR 50.30 per litre of petrol. That would be more than $1 per litre.
Now I know it was inevitable but this is becoming insanely expensive. And to beat, I ride a bike which gives a much better mileage than cars. Recently a few cartoons have been doing the rounds on the internet where they mock the rise in fuel costs showing ppl taking loans to purchase a tank of fuel and the like. I used to laugh at ’em thinking what doomsday preachers. But it seems they were right for a change. At the rate the prices are increasing, it might soon become a reality.
And with no real mass market of alternate fuel vehicles, I am really unsure what the future holds in terms of transportation means. :-(
Today is the birthday of the girl who used to be one of my closest friends but she does not speak to me anymore. We had a disagreement on something and did not speak for a few days.:-( But those few days, it turns out last till this moment and does not seem, will end. I am feeling very bad and down. I miss her :-(
It is also the birthday of another of my friends who I had a fight with and am not on speaking terms anymore. I miss her too. I wish I could talk to them again but my ego prevents me from doing it.
I guess I’ll just go and lie in my misery..
I was pissed yesterday. The blog database, which is intrinsic to the blog was not accessible for whole of yesterday (my time).
I get up yesterday morning and access the site and I am given a nice little error page by WordPress which states that the database is not accessible and I should check my username and password.
I contact the hosting service (Symonds.net) who replies that they have changed the server and that DNS changes take time to propagate. Bah.. He said things should be fine in about 2 hrs. I waited. And I waited some more while the blog was still not accessible.
I shot off a mail again and he replies that it’s *my* ISP’s fault since they are not flushing their DNS cache and updating them.
So I waited. Then it struck me that the god darn server was accessible but only the database was not which would be local for the blog and hence DNS issues dont even come into the picture.
I immediately sent him a mail telling this and he realised it about the same time too. So he manually went into the server and fixed the issue. It seems the DB package was broken after the upgrade in which some DB authentication always failed. Humph.. So much for DNS trouble.
Today is Rakshabhandan in which sister’s tie a thread on their brother’s wrists and the brother in turn pledges to protect her from any harm that might befall her. It is quite an important festival for us, for which my sister has come down here.
It also includes her first visit home after her wedding. Mom is very happy and spend the whole days with her.
My cold is worse now. It has turned into a throat infection too and my entire body hurts. I am thankful that today is a holiday otherwise I would never have been able to go to the office today.
And my back account is finally active. My first salary cheque was credit to the account yesterday so I can go and splurge now ;-)
I got wet again today. It’s very frustrating. Just due to the rain, I am seriously considering ditching my bike and using some other means of transport :cry:
I think I am coming down with a cold. Scratch that. I _am_ down with a cold. My nose is getting blocked by the minute and my body is paining. :shock:
And my comp is being difficult. I wont boot my profile correctly all the time. It just freezes sometimes when I select my profile and I have to do a cold boot to start up windoze again.
I think I will go to sleep early today
Yaaaaay.. Today is independence day and it turns out I finally got the object I desired the most for the past year or so.
An Apple Ipod A gift from my sister. She had been on her honeymoon for the past fortnight and a day before she was to return, I asked her to get me one. :-)
It’s a 20 GB model which can store about 5000 songs. Though I had asked for one with a mono display, it seems the color display has become the default and mono display production has been stopped. Good for me :-D
It is awesome and I just still cant believe that I got one.
Woo hoo
Thus speaketh
