Lackadaisical

Well, the heading sums up the whole week really as there were no classes of ABAP which was the most fucked up thing that cud happen. The few bytes of pleasure am trying to leech out of my life is ABAP right now which came to halt due to no seeders ( teacher) in the network. 


I've been reading this .pdf file since long I downloaded on ABAP ( siemens notes) which were really very helpful. Its a mammothing 1500 page pdf which gives an even more chillier shock compared to what am already riding on bcuz of the sliding down temperatures here. Hey did that rhyme ?? Obviously taking a print out of 1500 pages pdf file is one hell of a job (back-to-back), and bcuz of the trait of mine described in the title bar, I just kept on procrastinating the plan of getting a print of the bundle and kept on snailing on the Mac and telling myself that who needs a bloody printout, nothing like a hot cup of tea with Mac in Lap ( hey, did that too ?) with myself just trying to keep my head or to be really honest just my eyes out of the rajai barely to read from the pdf. Then one fine day, when god finally decided to throw some gold snowing down the sun, I gathered all my might to get a print of the pdf file. I went to dad's factory to get it from there and one guy in his office voluntarily wanted this job and gladly I passed on the responsibility saving myself from sticking my neck out.

I came home happily but what worse cud happen , I had no idea. Idiot printed alternate pages which was fine as I wanted back to back, when the time came to print the other alternate set , he kept the pages in wrong position which ended up printing on the same side both times. Damn. Anyways, I still continue to read from the Mac itself. Plan to give another shot on it.

And, Apple seriously know how to make ppl ( like me ) keep on riding the roller coaster. Well if not Apple, people creating third party applications really convince me to buy the ticket for their coaster this time.

Have a look and you'll know..





This pocket guitar is for jailbroken iPhones and is must have for all iPhone owners. This is one of the many which is making me slowly edge towards buying one. It'll happen soon .. !!

Slim in in !! MacBook Air shows it Why..

Well Apple does it again. Gives us something to chant about for the coming weeks with a new MacBook Air. I dont think they need to define why is it call Air. Have a look at it and all your qualms regarding the name will be resolved. Bloody hell, so thin.
Apple's super-thin MacBook Air noticeably is an eye catching product but they have bargained on many things for the sake of getting it a skinny look.
Like,

  • 80GB iPod hard drive is being used which means 4200 rpm ( Booooo) . And what ? 80GB only .. Keeping looks apart, I really don't think people are ready to give up the extra space on hard drive for sake of dimensions.
  • It comes with a SINGLE USB port which is something very surprising these days when every kind of gadgets and doohickeys come on USB.
  • Non-replaceable batteries means you have to send your Mac to Apple to replace. ( Poor us who are living in India ) .
  • The worst of all, No Ethernet Port. Fuck no.. That is one thing which will keep the intelligent part of the people living in India from buying it. Every broadband here comes with ethernet cables. And if you retort back on this comment of mine that you are having a wireless connections at home. What if you buy a new wireless router and want to change the settings. You wont be able to ! You might want to have USB adapter for this one ( Oh boy, there goes the one and only USB port.)

Summing it all, I dont really find it a viable option to go with as for now. Certainly a tempting thing but keep your taste buds for something more scrumptious I suggest. Still MacBook's are the best bang-for-bucks.

Ok leaving the MacBook Air banter, the temperatures are going down like hell. I can't even see outside the main gate of my house. The lowest temp is falling 1˚ in chandigarh so here in Parwanoo, it must be below 0 at night.



Its so foggy and yet so beautiful. These pics are from my garden which was looking picturesque.




And well, temperatures is not the only thing which has plummeted right now. Share market has dropped 2000 points in 3 days. Given the Bulls a real run for their money. No wonder my mom gave a break to CNBC and reading some palmistry book.

Coming to football, Liverpool finally got their winning boots on by the goal rout unleashed against Luton on wed. Lets hope they keep riding on this form and perform good against Aston Villa on weekend who are playing tremendously well under Martin Oniel.
