Double Trouble…

Tuesday, December 20th, 2005

Lord, Why did you have to do it ? Why the two of them together ? Yes, I am asking why LaxmanShivramakrishnan and Javagal Srinath in the commentary team together !! And why are they paired together in the commentary sessions!! Please split them and let them be given some other halves. Its not even funny when they speak but they think they are.

Are the Production team - TWI (Trans World International) Listening. I just hope they do and I dont hvae to hear the two of them doing commentary together.

Yahoo Messenger 7.5.0.333 Beta

Saturday, December 17th, 2005

Just Installed the new beta. Seems to support an all new ‘Make calls to Phone Numbers’ Paid Service and an open Talk feature which lets users directly make pc-calls to you without any accept request.

Too bad even the latest version of Y tunnel Pro Doesnt work with it, so would have to wait till theres an update for it too.

Strange Observation..

Friday, December 16th, 2005

I dont know how it started back one and a half year ago, but I had been entering ‘Lost’ as my Location in Profiles on different forums for some unknown reasons to say the least. Little did I knew, that down the line, I would have really been lost in ‘Lost‘ . So whats the big deal about it? Nothing, its just how things turn out to be. The Location would have probably justified that I am lost in general terms back then, but now it gives a whole new meaning to same word because I have been hooked up to the award winning ‘Lost’ Series. Every episode in it has something in it, which makes you wait anxiously for the story to carryon forward.

I entered the location even before the start of the ‘Lost’ Series. Lol I wasnt even aware of the same, until it was aired on Star in India.

This strange observation, came when someone in the digit IRC made a comment, in a way similar to what I have mentioned above. Probably he didnt mean it in the same sense, but thats what made me aware of the whole deal.

Stupid Rapidshare- Enter code to download

Sunday, December 4th, 2005

They ( Rapidshare.de ) had to screw up. Just noticed it now that Free users would have to enter the code to start the download. And whats furiating, the code could have been in simple text, which can be easily copy pasted. But NO, they had to show the code through the image. If the 20 odd seconds ticker to start the download was not enough, they introduced this to add insult to injury.

Religious Website, Illegal Mp3s…

Monday, November 28th, 2005

Anything in the name of religion? Before you answer, check this out

Direct Links to bhajans hosted on a ” Non-Profitable & Non-Commercial Religious Website” ( In the words of the webmasters from the same site ) Seems like a statement from many a warez group/forums.

I am sure these bhajans are not free to distribute. Who cares?? From a long time dad had been asking for the Hey Ram track by Jagjit Singh on a audio Cd. Now that i have downloaded from this site- time has come to give dad a pleasant surprise.

w00t! w00t!! Free Sourabh.be domain working!

Friday, November 18th, 2005

Yes, a new domain, which is even smaller than the previous one (nothing to brag about) and the best part is its free. For those who are not aware, there was this buzz of the free .be domain a few days back. There were loads of signup for the same, and whats surprising they allowed 10 signup per IP. If you havent registerd yet, you can still signup before 31st Jan 2006 from e3Internet

End of glory for Star One?

Saturday, November 5th, 2005

Yes, I liked Star One. But they had to mess up, just when they completed their first anniversary. All the good shows which I liked are coming to an end. Firstly Special Squad ( India’s CSI :p ), then Siddhant I guess too is coming to an end of season and Hotel Kingston ( not that i care about the last). All this just to make time for India Calling ( looks another bore series) and Darna Mana Hai ( horror!). I dont understand why did they have to do this. I agree change is for the better most of the times, but not always. Lol, hope its not like what Saurav Ganguly said about his team selection - ” We wouldn’t like to change the winning combination” and now he is getting a taste of his own medicine. Star One might be hoping the same for them, that the change doesnt backfire the popularity of the channel. With shows like Super Sale, Nach Baliye and the last few episodes of Great Indian Laughter Champions, its obvious where the Channel ratings are heading.

Compaq Presario Widescreen Notebook Ad on TV

Sunday, October 30th, 2005

Yeah I know this ad has been running quiet some time now. Its the same ad in which a cute chick accesses net in a coffee shop on her Widescreen notebook . And her dad signs in MSN Messenger. She goes about telling dad that she is mailing mom and dad her boyfriends pic. Everything fine with it, I dont need to tell what happens next. Quiet a good ad to showcase widescreen is *nice*. But what I noticed the last time I viewed is she mails the pic and tells that via MSN Messenger. Where are the Send file/image options in MSN Messenger gone? Forget uploading the images if its quiet a geeky thing. Could have just transferred via Messenger. How lame can you get with the MSN messenger.
