Ya, All call it a compass box... It's my mobile phone Nokia 9300... After 2 years of Hard usage and Torture it's like getting old.. Today morning the first hints of it's life span getting over came up.. The external Display is down.. I have to repair it ASAP to get it up and running... Over a period of time i have fallen in love with the device... It may be bulky it may be heavy it may be slow, but the battery life and user friendliness is just awesome.. So much storage for the messages and contacts, the Calender, and Occasional usage of those Office features, And Best of them all the Browser.. Need to get it up and running fast. The Internal display is working fine and as well as all the phone features except the external display, It's just annoying to open the screen and see who is calling, Who is messaging etc etc.. Just hoping it gets fine, So if i change mobile next time i will surely go for NOKIA Communicator series itself i am Totally in love with the device... J...

Everyone Loves Google...Google So you use Orkut, you find Friends, Thanks to Google the E-Mail address automatically gets added to your Gmail account, and also to your Gtalk . But there is a little problem there, Whenever it gets added you get the Name of that person as the name in Orkut when you added that friend of yours to the list and rarely gets updated. So You get that funny name in your address book and also in chat. How you change that...?? Here is a Way which i found. 1. Install the Google talk 2. Login 3. Just Right Click on the contact you wanna rename and choose rename. 4. Change the Name and Enter. Yes it gets updated in your GMail address book too.. That was something cool... Enjoy Gtalk...

What you need to do to utilize your processing power...?? 1. Register at http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ 2. There are Clear instructions how install and set your preferences.

Just passed the 100000 Mark. So what are you waiting for...??? Start crunching... :D You can ask me For more details by adding a comment below...

Previously i wrote about using Image Shack for torrent downloads here . Here is one trick which i usually play after my months download Bandwidth gets over (it gets over in a week for me). Now there is no HTTP bandwidth to download, but you can still download torrents to the ImageShack server. Got something...?? :) OK imagine a scenario where there are just 3 seeds for a torrent and they are seeding slowly, plus there are some 15 leechers for the torrent all of them have a very less % of content, the torrent is almost dead, so here is the trick, Start the torrent in your machine, wait for some % completion. Now go to Imageshack and add that same torrent to download at image shack server. As you see in your torrent client ImageShack determines itself as "img264.imageshack.us" and users "Transmission 1.10" client. Let it leech from you. In next few minutes you observe that Your dead torrent is alive again. You are getting Nice Download speeds, imageshack is contributi...

After a much wait went to the ROCK ON movie, A Fantastic movie, Nicely maintained storyline, songs at proper location without hitting the storyline(BTW the movie is about music itself so it's much needed) All the Actors were Superb. Faran Akthar and Arjun Rampal were exceptionally good. Over all a Good movie i give it 9/10.

Ya last Saturday went unexpectedly to Kudremuk and Kalasa. Trip was unexpected,Started with a word from Milton and we started 2 Bikes 4 People... Georgi and Kevin Joined.. After a short breakfast at Kiran's Vadapav stall we started to Kudremuk. The road is just awesome, After riding 20 Km we realized that We forgot to get Camera. bad... Even Georgi forgot his SE W700i Mobile, that is Worse, just two VGA cams of Milton and Kevin and lot of memory in my 9300. Riding in the forest was cool and fun., Enjoyed the day, Stopped at Basrikatte checkpost for the tea, then started to Kalasa, spent 15 min in kalasa and we started back. The awesome part was 18Km in neutral gear at speeds of 60-70 Kmph and taking those turns of Ghat, and the best part was we overtook one car in neautral gear. Photos i will pull in soon to this post, Have to see how they have come. Overall 188Km of Biking in one day... was really fun....
