I am a long time user of Visual Studio (2003/2005 and now 2008), as it ends up mostly as the primary development IDE in my day job. Even for developing Kernel drivers, I use VS as the IDE (with Visual AssistX) and switch to CMD shell for the good old “bcz” (I don’t like the [...]

IronMan 2: Review
Being a big fan of Marvel heroes & Downey Jr., I was eagerly waiting for IronMan2 (IM2) since the day I heard about it. So when one of my colleagues suggested we go watch a film last weekend, naturally my suggestion was Ironman! We went there early and tucked ourselves in to the comfortable seats with ample [...]
Who is the real worker & some personal tales!
Its been a while since I posted. What have I been doing? Apart from the occasional tennis sessions in Wii, I am kinda stuck in the work (if you thought it sounded like "stuck in the rut", you have a warped mind! ). Its already 12 in the night here, me feeling very sleepy. But [...]
[Movie] Untraceable
I have been watching way too many movies past 2 weeks, cannot even remember many of their names now. Last weekend I planned to go to Salem, but ended up in Fry’s (Wilsonville). I bought a Wii there and am thoroughly enjoying the games in it, but more about that in a different post. Amidst [...]
Testing Windows Live Writer 2008
Just now installed Windows Live Writer 2008 (Final); The installer they have there is just around 2.3MB, but it downloads the actual Live Writer binaries later. When you execute this "small" file, it scans through your computer for other Live programs (WHY??!!) and offers you a screen full of other Live programs that you *should* [...]
Another MP3 search engine – Tagoo!
On the wake of Demonoid’s demise (!?), the world is seeing many other p2p / file sharing sites being tormented by the likes of MPA, RIAA and all kinda of other alphabet soup organizations. The recent addition is Tagoo, a new Mp3 search engine, with a RU domain. Since, another Russian site AllOfMp3.com just got [...]
[Spoiler] Harry potter and the deathly hallows
 I am a big fan of Harry potter (HP)! I got hooked in to pottermania around 2001, since then I have collected all original HP books (all thoroughly earmarked) + audio books (US Version – Jim Dale) + first 4 HP movie DVDs. Like every other HP fan, I went ahead and booked the final installment [...]
Chaos!
Lot of things happening right now in my life; Am stuck in the middle of a group transition, with the additional responsibility of arranging a function in my house (Ahhh!) + my pet projects demanding more and more time….Whew, I wonder how the company senior VPs and GMs manage to squeeze in some time for [...]
Bang-kwa-hoo Ok-sang (See you after school) – Interesting film!
I love East Asian movies, especially Korean & Japanese. Yesterday I got a chance to watch Bang-kwa-hoo ok-sang (International title is See you after school). The movie plot is simple: Namkoong Dahl is a serial loser, in and out of the school. He even tries therapy, which is again a total disaster. Transferring for the [...]
Indian shopping sites – Need to improve a lot!
I wanted to buy this shaver, but Amazon said it wouldnt be possible to ship this to India, due to some export regulation blah blah blah. So, I decided to check the local online malls. I am not new to online shopping in India, but It has been a long time since I visited them, [...]
