I shift in focus of responsibilities and priorities
I think its time I start taking things a lot more seriously. Had a talk with mom and she sooo wants me to get married. The surprising thing is that, even I have started to think in the same lines now. I definitely feel a lot older now. I cant keep going on this way all the time. But the problem is that I havent had a girlfriend in a loooong time. So what do I do now. Settling in for an arranged marriage is not an option. I would feel like a whore. I just hope that things work out a lil better this year.
Its been quite some partying for me all this while. I definitely have done a lot of drinking, smoking and fooling around. It definitely is time to start getting serious about a few things. But before all of that, I very badly have to take a vacation. The only way I can do that is to complete all the projects I have on hand at work, get done with all the private gigs and plan out a place to visit. It will most probably be my sisters place in Bombay. Mmmmm…. I am already excited about it.
Upgraded to Windows 7
I was soo excited the whole of this week about the performance improvement in Windows 7 that I decided to finally take the risk. I downloaded the RC from the MS website, burnt it to a DVD and finally started the installation today. The installation went really fast and smooth. But what annoyed me the most is the installation of the drivers. The problem is not with Windows but with the Dell website. It does not have a complete list of software for the laptop. But I managed to get almost all of them working.
This time I decided to partition my drive. One solely for the OS and the Apps and the other only for all my data. Right now I am in the middle of formatting the data partition so that I can copy all my stuff back. Everything seems to be so zippy on 7. The boot is incredibly fast, no unnecessary notifications, beautiful visuals and I simplete LOVE the new taskbar. It just like the Apple doc.
Will keep you posted more about my finding as I start installing more and more softwares on it.
What makes me feel good about my new laptop
Right from the time Windows Vista was released I was wondering what would be a GOOD score of Machine assessment. When I bought my Dell Studio 1737, that was the first things that I did. And I am really happy to brag about the results on my blog.
