Keep It Simple!

Yesterday, during a casual conversation with my manager, I tell him that some of the algorithms that I have written are taking almost a day to run and so on.. just to tell him how intense the computation of the programs I run is (Had to somehow tell him that I wudnt be working a lot in the next week..) Long story short, now I now have a machine in my office with 3 GB ram, 700 GB hard-disk, XEON® X5355 Quad-Core 2.66GHz 1333FSB (which I think is 8 processors of 2.66GHz each), NVIDIA Quadro NVS 285 and a huge LCD screeenn.. I feel just like a kid again … not able to just resist bragging about this

P.S : Did I tell you about that time when I downloaded a movie from stage6.divx.com at 10 MB per sec?
P.S2 : I’m coming to India in Dec.

This is supposed to be the best joke in the world Lets see if this will make u smile.. I sure did

Bentine: I just came in and found him lying on the carpet there
Sellers: Oh, is he dead?
Bentine: I think so
Sellers: Hadn’t you better make sure?
Bentine: Alright. Just a minute
Sound of two gun shots
Bentine: He’s dead.

Unlimited DVDs at just 17 bucks a month. Well this is how it works with netflix . At any time I can order 3 movies and then I mail them back one, they send me one in the queue the next day! I just love the brilliant idea that netflix has come up with. This seems to remind me of the magazine thing that they have in or desi apartments in India. Finally, they are catching upp here

I got my subscription started yesterday and Full Metal Alchemist ,Rocky Balboa, Casino Royale, all movies that I have seen, are on the way. I love the movie recommendations that they give. I ended up recommending 132 movies so that they could finally fine tune what I love and now they are recommending the best stuff – 300, Departed, Animatrix, Godfather, GoodFellas.. Just cant wait to watch atleast 50 movies before summer!

P.S : I just watched Hyd Blues 1 & 2 back to back and its darn gud! I can sooo relate to hb1 !!! Kyaa potti hai bhai !

Reminder: Buy Facebook stocks when they go public.

My first intern day here and was amazed at the fact the I have my own office space here at Silicon valley, and that too so close to the downtown where office space seems to be so scarce. I promised myself that very day that I would take snaps, post it on the blog and sing eulogies on Adobe. I love working here, especially the free photo shop and other creative tools that come in so handy! The experience so far has been good, with me not budging one inch out away from my office space, cafeteria and the kitchen {which has loads of free stuff}. I have been driving to office daily taking the freeway driving at 75 miles per hr, still following the decision to not take work home, watching scrubs for the umpteenth time.. I so look forward to laughing at the people who told me that corporate life sucks.. its all trash, trust me its fun if you are at the right place.. okie.. 6 ‘O clock and I don’t have to work anymore.. so me leaving and yeah, adobe owns this piece of trash that I have written and the pic as well, thats why the logo!

P.S : Thanks ani for the fuji finepix .. am loving it!

@ Any HR from adobe reading this : Adobe is one of the best companies to work for !!! I am looking for a convert.. Hire me.. Hire me

Touch wood

I have no idea and all of a sudden, my gmail seems to have got blocked. I was just chatting with jags n rama and voila, I get this message…

Heres the screenshot.

Anyone has any idea about this? Darn Google!

Edit : After a lil google search, looks like gmail has done the same to some users before also. First time I’ve heard it happen to someone I know (me, sigh sigh) though! Have filled this form n am waiting.

Edit2 : Yeppp, it is working now

It seems its not possible to embed flash onto wordpress as long as I am on their server or something.. Darnnn I shud migrate to my own web server sometime… Now I’m frustrated..

P.S : Just fun nothing else!

I know its a really really random title and so is this post going to be. I was just browsing arnd, with no particular intent whatsoever, came across this psyops and this thought why not just write some random thoughts. There seem to be more and more people blogging nowadays. Maybe smr can someday have a digg kinda thing on the blogroll as well, so that I dont have to sift through all the blogs before I find the good ones ! Digg is one really cooll site which I seem to be having a look at pretty much daily. Well, actually gmail and digg are kinda regulars in my browser, which makes me wonder what the usual sites that people look at are, I mean on a 20-30 visits a day basis. Tht should be an interesting survey. I guess it would already have been done. I sometimes wish I wasnt sitting before my stupid comp and traveling around. Journalist types, yeah kinda a travel one. Well, Europe would probably be my first destination. Heard that its beautiful.

Makes me wonder how u always want things u dont have or havent experienced before. I guess thats human nature to think like that. Which reminds me, my to-do list is so long now that it dreads me to even have a look at it. Well, I guess I just have break it down and wrap it up one step at a time.. I somehow seem to miss IIIT every time I read a nice blog on the school, which again brings me back to where I started. Well, must go on a different thought path. I saw Shrek 3 yesterday. Somehow, I seem to watching movies on the first day itself even here as well. Still rmr going to watch a movie on the day before my Pattern Recognition end terms. My research is going on okay and I have finally decided kinda what I wud be working on at Adobe. I should start seriously looking for a house and car. I rented a pontiac today, drove arnd SC for sometime and am waiting now for ani to send me the pics so that I can upload them.. {Edit: Just did that} Lifes good, no qualms whatsoever. Any-who I guess I am done ranting for today.. Might blog on something serious next time.. naah, whom am I kiddding .. I just seem to love Gangster songs, especially Tuhi meri shabh hai.. Adios.

P.S : I just realised that I kinda have been writing blog posts only on weekends of late!!
