The minute I clicked “post” regarding my previous post, I knew it was a mistake - talking about the book I am co-authoring with a few other people (who most definitely are brighter than I am). Anyways, thanks to my dear friend Kumud for pointing me in the right direction and providing the inspiration by sending me the cartoon below. :) <p> <img src="images/dilbert2061071060627.gif" alt=""/> </p> I can just feel happy days ahead, if I can live up to all the pun… ;)
Idiots are wonderful, no wonder every village want one. :)
An Oregon man who went to a hospital complaining of a headache was found to have 12 nails embedded in his skull from a suicide attempt with a nail gun, doctors say. You can read the story here ; I think its the Bush effect ;)
Are you sure you want to get a Dell machine for £385K? That is more expensive than most houses! And it only has one gig of memory. Oh it had two, I could think about it ;).

Well if you look at this search , you can see the kind of information that you can find about me on the web, what do you think? :)

Got this amazing call center movie from Kumud :), its about 12 mins long and you of course need to have the sound on or have headphone. Also when I was looking at it, their servers might be overloaded or something and it was very slow, so in case thats not eased off then you just need to be patient.
Thanks to Abhijit for pointing this one, and its awesome, if you ever wondered how would Microsoft redesign the iPod packaging, then fear not, your prayers have been answered - check it out . :)
Yes, I have been alive! Check out the Bugs being reported these days (thanks to Karan for the link) :)
Got this via one of the Avanade communities (thanks Wes), and is just funny - does not matter if you are a geek or not - you need to see the Crash Difference video detailing out some experiences of using and owning and loving a Mac! :)
I got this via one of our communities internally at Avanade, and I have to admit it is pretty darn good, not sure why MS is now allowed to air it.
Check out the Software Engineering Proverbs , oh how true they are :)
Check out the two Chinese students singing ; I do like the kid at the back who is too busy to be bothered. :)
I had send an email to a friend and based on the email bouncing I know I had the old email address; but this is one of the funniest error messages I have receive in a long time, it did put a smile on the face. Hi. This is the qmail-send program at mantramail.com. I’m afraid I wasn’t able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I’ve given up....

Well if you wondered what happens in a club, then check out this video (2.51mb) . :)
From Engaget , just what was needed *groan*: Tesco, Britain’s largest retailer, is introducing the greeting card-inspired musical sandwich for the dreary lunch crowd this week. Now get this, according to a Tesco spokesman (who’ll remain anonymous to avoid your wrath) the music sandwich “is designed to provide busy office workers with relaxing music to make eating lunch at their desks more enjoyable than ever before.” Open the top of your prawn-and-mayo or perhaps, egg-and-pickle-bits sandwich and kick back to a soothing xmas medley dribbled over that piezoelectric tweeter....
Karan pointed me this one, you need to read through the letter - its hilarious! And my dad has encountered a similar thing in real life, except from Australia.
Meenakshi forwarded me the post from C Enrique Ortiz, who has a very funny and true, a Developer’s Top 10 replies when code doesn’t work . :) My personal favorites are number 6 and 2.
Thanks to Rohit for pointing this out, but the Curry and Rice girl is a riot ! If you are not Indian (or of Indian background) or don’t have any Indian friends or spouses or boyfriends/girlfriends, you might not get the context. Make sure the volume on your speakers are turned on high! :)
I think this is the new way to go , drink on!
Hmm, even for a banana-freak like me, is this going too far ? Make sure to read up on the comments. :)
Hot on the heals of the Nano, Apple has just announced the iPod Flea and boy it is amazing! Check out the promotional video of what all it can do, I just cannot wait to get my hands on it! :o)
Thanks to Neil for pointing this one out, I think I have to agree with the sentiments on the new pricing. :)
Even if you are not interested in this phone, you should go over and read this listing on eBay. And yes, my lovely wife Meenakshi (and not she has not started blogging yet) has this phone …. ahem …. which I gave her … hopefully she is not reading this…. :o)
