Finally Upgraded my PC

2007-8-4

I've wanted to upgrade my PC from the ancient Celeron 700 with about 300Megs of RAM to something better for a while now. So finally when in Kolkata for Nemo's B'Day celebration when my Dad's P4's HDD crashed, I got a chance to revisit my friendly neighbourhood computer parts supplier. I've been assembling my own PCs for about a decade now. In the recent past I had the opportunity to ogle at the Mac Mini running OS X at a friends' place in US. Back in India, one window shopping tour thru an Apple store and the G5 was a great temptation. Still the fact that I make my living working on MS technology stack made the final decision pretty easy.

Colts make it to the Superbowl FINALLY!!!

But then... in the dying minutes of the half, Colts pulled back a little with a field goal to leave the field at 21-6... two touchdowns away from the Patriots. On his way out Tony Dungy said - we need to make one touch down and get this down to a one score game... we'll take it from thereon...

Solaris on x86, Fingerprint Protected CDs and another variation of Muphy's Law.

2007-1-16

The day started as usual, me and my roomie making it to office at about 9 in the morning. First agenda of the day was to try and setup Solaris 10 on an x86 machine. Before that I had to face my boss to whom I sheepishly admitted that I had run out of permutations and combinations for installing the (!@#*&T) Sun Portal Server 7 on various flavours of Linux and that I was going to try installating it on Solaris.
