Mis – Adventures
Dreamz Unlimited
I have had one of the most weird series of dreams, in 3 successive days. I dont remember the dreams in entirety but only bit’s and pieces of them but they go as follow
Dream 1: Two days back(or rather nights) I dreamt that one of my sister’s friend(I dont know who) was pestering me for something. I dont know what she was pestering me for but only that she was kinda following me around constantly asking me for it.
Dream 2: A day back(Last to last night) I dreamt that I was on some sort of a boat and the dream ended as a small kid throwing his puppy, called “Vivacious”, into the sea, crying out Bye Viv, Bye Viv.
Dream 3: I dont remember what the dream was, but it involved some death.
Now I dont believe in dream interpretation but if someone does know the meaning of these dreams, do leave a comment since I would be curious to their meaining.
PS. The title comes from the name of the movie production house of one of the biggest actors in India, Shah Rukh Khan.
Hungry, wet and tired
Do not ride your bike in the rain. It can be quite dangerous.
Well, most of you might say, “Duh!! What’s new about that?”
There is nothing new about it but only that I rode my bike all the way from office to home, 17 kms in the rain. And it was bad. I could barely see due to the prismatic effect caused by the water on my helmet visor and the light from the oncoming vehicles. And my bike chose today to behave weird. I was having a tough time controlling the bike. At one point of time, while I braked for a speed breaker, the back tire went one way and the front tire the other way. Brr.. Scary, especially with other vehicles right behind you.
Anyways, I reached home safely though very cold and wet to the bone, my shoes full of water, my pants dripping wet and me exteremly tired and hungry.
Though now I am full having had my dinner :-D
Microsoft – Love it or Hate it?
Everyone loves to hate Microsoft. It is one of the favorite pastimes of Linux Geeks and users alike. I have done it and I accept it. Microsoft Windows the most popular operating system ever is also one of the most vulnerable. I have hated it when it did not something I wanted but behaved much like a cat doing it’s own thing.
However, I came across this interesting post which looks at Microsoft from a totally different perspective. Why it _might_ be targeted by virus writers, hacker et all. A pretty good read if only for light reading.

Email problems – Thunderbird
I am pissed. Though not sure who to be pissed at. Thunderbird (My email client), Gmail, or my ISP. It’s been 3 days since I started having email problems. I use only pop3 email accounts cos I hate web-mail.
Accidents Accidents
Microsoft Windows = Bloatware
This is a very interesting which shows users how to run a very barebones instance of Microsoft Windows operting system. You run with only two services. But you can still surf the internet and do some other stuff.
Now I gotta try and see if I can play games on it. With most of my system memory available entirely for the game ;-)

Bangalore on the path of self – destruction
Bangalore is going down the wrong road. The city is losing it charm and appeal that was once it’s pride. With the recent explosion in it’s growth and the huge numbers of vehicles hitting it’s roads, it is getting extremely congested.
