Back on the wagon... or is off the wagon?

More commonly used to describe alcoholism, I am talking about my WoW relapse.

Started playing again yesterday after a 4 month break. Feels good :D

Ibanez S470

Wooooohoooooooooooo!!! Finally! Finally I bought an electric guitar.

It's an Ibanez. It's a used S470 which I got at lesser than the price of a new RG350EX.
Advantages?
1. The Zero-Resistance Tremolo
2. Hard Shell Case (included in the price of the guitar)

The Pickups are the basic INF pickups on the starting guitars.

Since I am in Chicago and have to take all this back, I decided to go with the Roland Micro Cube

Here's a demo of the amp. It's good enough for me to practice and my neighbors to know that I am practicing :-p

Twitter is awesome

Just wanted to say that. Downside is, I can't seem to write blog posts anymore :( unless I really concentrate

Only one in each please

That's the look on people's faces as I absent-mindedly entered the same compartment of the revolving door as the person ahead of me.

There was a noise and door jam and multiples of sorries tumbled out of my mouth.

Slightly embarrassing but much more fun :D

Don't try...
OK try but keep saying sorry as you do it.

Next time I am going to try going the wrong way and fight with the people going the right way :D

Suddenly Spammed!!

I don't know what happened. I had a lovely weekend. Came back yesterday and checked office mail. And what do I see? SPAM?? On my Office address. I have only ever submitted that address for a couple of trial downloads of commercial software!!

This was one. Few more people in that Venn Diagram :D

Another guy has randomly mailed people his resume. I looked him up on linked in and he seems like a genuine guy. I don't know if that's called spam these days. I call it spam though.

Then this company who published "latest business directories" or something like that.

And then, two comments on my Business Analysis blog. These guys have actually registered with blogspot (Google) to spam comments.

I hope there's no more. The saving grace is that I see a definite improvement in the quality of spam here... :D

Sony Ericsson's new PC suite

I was on the brink of getting "bored" of my Sony P1i and switching back to Nokia. A good opportunity presented itself as my wife's handset got damaged. I thought I'd convince her to use my P1i and get myself another phone. Problem was, I didn't really know what I was missing.

I am not a music-on-the-go kind of person so am quite happy with the multimedia capabilities on my cellphone.

I hate cameras on mobile phones because they are frankly rubbish. I leave "taking pictures" to my (awesome) 450D

I do care for email and calendar synchronization and that's where the problem was.

When I got the phone a year back, the PC suite that came with it couldn't sync with Lotus Notes. But the new PC suite does connect to Lotus Notes and does it rather well actually :)

The only downside seems to be the fact that there are enough unfortunate people in the world who use Lotus Notes to induce SE into integrating with it.

Mail :-)

Does your day begin alright but as soon as you reach office and check mail you get really frustrated?

Are you actively contemplating switching your job because your organization's mail system?

Are you a victim of Lotus Notes?

Are you using 6.5?

Amazing as it may sound I have found the solution. Use Notes 8 client and replicate. It worked for me maaaayyyybe it'll work for you too :)
