Burnt Out

My mind has a dozen ideas but my body can't take it anymore. I feel totally burnt out. I guess I should have known last weekend, when I was actually tired on sunday night. They say the weekend is to refresh yourself for the week ahead , but an action packed saturday and a work filled sunday gives the body little respite. And eleven hour work days don't do good either. The weekend is here , and sadly I have I have to spend some time at work tomorrow. Man, do I look forward to that or what? :-( .
Actually, ever since we moved to the new apartment, things have been busy for me and my roomie. We were under the impression that an apartment close to work would mean, less travel time == more free time. Apparently, my boss thinks differently, his equation reads more like less travel time == more time to work!!

I don't even know why I'm blogging, well maybe this will explain the half a dozen unanswered emails and dozen calls that I promised to make! Anyways, fridays are always good and the next week shows signs of not being this stressful. Alright folks, got to go , keep visiting though!

Update on the Router Situation!

My roomie got a letter today, saying that we cannot get a full rebate on the router because the we bought it after the rebate offer ended.

So we are now stuck with with a 40$ router ( assuming the other rebate comes in, else 70) which doesn't work.

Icing on the Cake, eh??

Belkin Sucks!!

My Cup of Woes for Today!

"If you don't see this blog or see only half of it, don't blame me, blame my router"


This blog has moved to a new location!

Actually only its owner has. And as with every change in life, comes a new set of problems. My new apartment is fine, pricey ,but close to work. Not much of a night life after say 7(infact,even the grocery stores are closed), but hey I'm no casanova. And there is no way that I'm going to be at the office @7 if I start experiencing the night life.

But the one thing that really gets to me is the internet connectivity. The apartment does provide me with a free internet connection, dsl modem et all,but it literally took us(my roomie and myself) 3 hours to decipher the "encrypted" instructions for the modem. Finally we managed to connect the dsl modem, phone line, router and computer. With all the connections being made correctly, the least we expected was the get some data out, but alas our hopes were dashed. Big deal, we thought, we have phone numbers of the router and dsl company, one quick call and everything will be solved. Anyways, 3 hours , 5 phone calls later, we finally managed to get it to
work. I was pretty overjoyed, happy to know that my major source of news, entertainment, communication, was up and running again. But obviously, its my destiny that I would still have to wait for net nirvana. My router seems to have a mind of its own, every other minute it decides that I am not worthy enough of another byte of data.

I'm sick and tired of listening to the router guy asking to change settings, leaves me frustrated to the core. Reading mail takes me as much time as it would take me to strip and put back the computer.

And that is the reason for my poor blog rate. And if any of you guys who do accidentally read this post and do have a lil bit of knowledge of networking and routers , please do leave a comment around. All help will be much appreciated.

I'm done with this post now, not sure if my router will let me get it out, so please don't blame me if you don't see a post.

Not a Joke anymore

This is a forward from one of my friends, thought it was a lil exaggerated when I first read it, but after seeing the scorecard of the 1st one dayer, it actually makes sense. Anyways Ensoi!!!
