  • RIP Bob – You rocked!

    Bob Woolmer – the coach par excellence – passed away yesterday night. The man who converted the South Africans to a world beating side in a very short space of time is no more, apparently unable to handle the pressure of Pakistan making a very early exit from the tournament.

    I think it is about time we rethink the game.

  • Good Weekend

    Had a great weekend.

    1. Watched 300 – I would call it a decent movie. Watchable. Nothing great. The movie has awesome graphics and some midblowing sequences, like the one where a Spartan kills a Rhino, but what the movie lacks is the ability to get the audience involved in the movie. The movie has lots of blood and gore but at no moment do you find yourself squirming at it. The movie shows underdogs fighting against all odds, but at no moment do you find yourself rooting for it.
    2. Installed Windows on the home PC. Also installed Ubuntu on one of the partitions. Seems that I remember some Linux after all.
    3. Watched the Australian GP. Kimi kicked real ass in his first race with Ferrari. Gonna be fun filled season it seems. Also, Lewis Hamilton drove with purpose and seems like he is gonna give Alonso one heck of a fight. Kubica and Rosberg also drove nicely.
    4. Had loads of fun with Sam, TK, Appu, Pari, Bansal and Sachin. One of the fun filled weekends you always look forward to.

    On a separate note the DL101 I had registered for on WIPO Academy sent me the certificate for successful completion of the course. Very cool I must say. Will post a scanned copy very soon.

    Last, but not the least, Inzy has retired. The lazy elegance will not be seen in One day cricket any more after the World Cup. You will be missed.

  • Weekend Plan

    Here is what I plan to do this weekend.

    1. Sam is going to be in town over the weekend. So have fun with him, eat out, watch movies and roam around and gen laccha. TK will also come over for a while.
    2. Reinstall Windows and get the machine at home up and running again. (Should remember to backup data before that.)
    3. Probably install a copy of some Linux. By the way, did I tell you I had DSLinux installed on my Windows box over a VMWare Player.
    4. Do something with the domain I bought a couple of days back (More on this later).

    By the way, my phone number might change over the weekend. Will update the blog once that happens.
