Ok…

I had so many posts lying in my drafts, which were getting just way too much. So I decided it was cleanup time !

It was time I got rid of them. Deleted a few and published a few. I feel so good looking at the neater write post page with just 2 drafts left.

yey !!

My technical advancements

Ok, this post is an update to the one I wrote a few days back.

Now I

  • Work on a P4 Windows XP(dont you dare ask me what was I using earlier)
  • Have downloaded Picasa to upload my humungous picture files (finally may I add!!)
  • Learnt to use Gaim software for IM (Isnt as great as I thought it would be)
  • Enjoy an internet connection with a speed of 3mb/sec (no I didnt switch connection/ plan)
  • And most importantly

  • Enjoy Youtube videos without any delay/ crack in voice or distortion of video due to slow processor speed
  • Thats one thing I so wanted to do on my comp. Watch a video on Youtube without any interruption / delay. And thats the first thing I did when I started the Internet on my new machine.

    But now despite the fact that I have all of it, all that I so admired on others machines, I still am not happy. Cos I so wanna shout scream n share, which I cant.

    Most technologically experimental 24 hours

    I am a keen learner, but I am very lazy when it comes to doing technical stuff. I have relied a lot on friends to do it for me so far…. And when pushed against the wall, I really took it upon myself to do it on my own and walk the untreaded paths .

    In the past 24 hours I have managed to

  • download a 700mb file (never dared to do that before)
  • download flashget to download that 700 mb file (never knew you can download a software to facilitate the download of files!!)
  • format a PC
  • prepare bootable floopy disk and cd
  • tried to install Windows
  • tried to install Linux, even when I havent ever worked on that platform
  • used DOS after ages and worked on it (those commands seem so irritating now after the windows GUI)
  • request a password change with godaddy
  • Phew ! Thats really too much for me.

    Bheja fry

    I saw this movie on the recommendation of a friend and I am glad I did. I dont know how and why I missed this movie when it was released in theatre. Maybe cos of its star cast or maybe cos of its poor publicity. Its different is how I would describe it but surely loved Vinay Pathak’s timing. Sarika I believe made a comeback with this movie and still manages to look pretty. And Milind soman aaaaaaaaah…

    The best part?

    My dad laughed while watching it. :)

    This blog is worth $886!!

    Just came across this site which tells you the estimated value of a site. Here are the results of my site:

    The estimated value of http://varshita.net is: $886

    This value is calculated based on several factors including: Links, Traffic (Alexa), age of the domain, site category, domain keyword popularity, and overall occurrences of the domain name on the web.

    The estimated value of a single link on http://varshita.net is: $13 /month

    If I were to sell 8 spots on one page, I could generate $104/month in revenue for my website.

    Subhiksha stores in Delhi

    A new brand of stores in Delhi have come up with this amazing concept of grocery stores cum fruit and vegetable stalls cum chemist, all combined in one. And the icing on the cake is that these things are being made available at prices lower than the MRP and in many cases under marketing schemes.

    Been there once, liked it. This sure will give a good competition to local wholesalers and the big shops like Sabka bazaar etc.

    Eventually its the consumer who is in for a win-win situation. Yippie !!
