Oh no, Demonoid is down again!!
Demonoid, one of my favorite trackers, is down again. 
I was not running my torrent client last week, as it was used for doing “important” things like playing “Super bounce out” and “Half-life” by my relatives. I saw the “CRIA blocked us” message in Demonoid.com only this morning, a bad start to the week, I’d say!!
Demonoid.com lately has been giving lots of problems - site won’t load, blank pages, torrent files won’t download - all these irritating stuff, and now the site itself has “officially” gone down. Luckily the trackers are up, so your current downloads won’t be affected. Lets pray Demonoid finds a nice home in some country where people have other jobs than shutting down the torrent sites. How about Sweden? 
Talking of Sweden, I read Prince is trying to curb Piratebay with the help of Web Sheriff. What a joke! Read this “fan article” to understand why Websheriff is such an interesting personality.

Cleaning up your Hard disk
Yesterday I took some time off to clean my office systems - a Dual Xeon desktop and a T41p laptop. The effort would have cost me at least 2 days, if not for the following tools!
CCleaner - The best utility for cleaning up the temporary files, IE/Mozilla/Opera cache and lots of other junk. This used […]
My first cartoon - Performance appraisal

Firefox memory leak fix - How To?
When I keep Firefox open for more than 2 hours, my system, a dual xeon with 2GB fast DDR, became extremely slow. I have the latest 2.0.0.2 version. A quick googling turned up many results on “Firefox leaking memory”, but nothing solved my problem. I tried EngTech’s solution & couple of other solutions. More tinkering […]
Coolcode.cn (Wordpress plugin) site down!
Today morning I was surprised to see a couple of mails complaining that the videos I posted earlier here and here are not working! I checked them last night (ok…at 1am..technically it is today morning!) and they were fine. I use the excellent coolplayer 9.3 plugin in my Wordpress blog. I logged in to my […]
HP Rw6828
I have always wanted to own one of those cute O2 XDA Atoms. I was holding back, because of the Atom’s notorious stability and the numerous bugs in the software bundle + motherboard. But, when I went to Malaysia recently, I decided to buy one anyhow, because the latest ROM update seemed to make Atom […]
Why no threads?
I have a Dual processor Xeon machine (HT enabled in both the processors) with 2GB of RAM. Windows XP effectively sees 4 execution pipelines. Yesterday I had to move some 10GB of data from this machine to my laptop. I decided to zip it up first and fired open Winzip 9.0. It was painfully slow! […]
Workplace redefined!
I have rearranged my monitors, this time to make it easier for me to read lengthy contents
I got this idea from Adam Nathan’ s Channel 9 interview. He was demonstrating his WinFX based Hearts game and was actually going through the code using this setup.
Though I find this setup good for reviewing/coding/reading […]
Am back!
Its been a long time! Too many things have happened since my last post. My to-blog list is threatening to become a monstrous file in my HDD, my married life has permanently caused a dent in my day-to-day routines, my responsiblities in my workplace increased (read that as “I am being tortured more!”), I have […]
J2EE newbie!!
Lately, I am doing a lot of Java / J2EE stuff, since Sudha is in to those technologies. Though I am one of those persons who would prefer to sweat it out with C / Assemly rather than making use of all the making-life-easier goodies offered by Java and related frameworks, I have to admit […]
