eight forty

Wanted to name this blog 8:40, but seems this dumb thing cannot put anumber in its title. How sad, for something powered by google. Will rpobably report it. Also figured out why the stats have not been updated, its bug they are fixing... will upload that later.

Twenty minutes to go, and I am on broadband. Yesssssssssssssss.
Finally.
Thing is, he came, he removed the lan card, put it back in, and we were online! And then, came the super-mega-ultra glitch. The computer shutdown, and continued to shut down every time it ws restarted. HE tried removing the Lan card again, it did not work. HE removed and cleaned the RAM a couple of times. All the time, he came to know that I knew as much as him about computers, he was especially impressed when I shutdown the system initiated shutdown sequence with a shutdown -a. But that didn't work after the first time. There was some other error. HE went away saying that he would make my username and password in the office. He is a good guy. I was frustrated and depressed, and mad at the whole universe in general, and a non-existing god in particular, just for someone to blame it on. 15 minutes before broadband... you know. Then, i tried a load of things, like shutting it down and starting up repeatedly without interrupting the scandisk, then tinkering about with the settings in bios, then using the default settings, then the optimum settings, and finally restarting halfway through the restart sequence to bring up the safe mode / normal mode menu. Once in safe mode, I deleted all the profiles and made new ones (unnecesarily) I bloody lost all my favorites in the process, but right then, it was worth it. Oh shit, I will have to get them all back again, but I can handle that allright... Then too, after restarting normally, whenever I logged in, I had the same bloody problem. After that I have restarted a couple of times and things are back to normal, but there was ONE more thing I had to do. I had to go to the safe mode screen, and pick the option to start everything with the last settings that worked, but because I had already started everything in safe mode, it simply started in safe mode, but it still worked anyweay, and I was back. Yessssssssssssssss. I was back, and I was back online. Finally! Only, i did not have the software to connect to the lan. I called the cableguy up, and sked him to send his 'engineers' then i went to sify.com on a whim, and it bloody worked. again, YEsssssssssssssssss. The system told me that it had recovered from a critical something, and sent an error report to the damn corporation called microsoft which started off the whole shitty thing in the first place. I was so happy that i was back, that I called up a few people that I have not called up for a long time. A cousin on both sides, one ws out, and the other was there. Had a long chat about stuff... I am on Broadband in TEN minutes.


Khud se anjaan hu mein
khud se begaana
Khud se anjaan hu mein
khud se begaana
Kya dekhti hai tumhari nazar
mujhko bataana
Khud se anjaan hu mein
khud se begaana
Kya dekhti hai tumhari nazar
mujhko bataana
Khud se anjaan hu mein
khud se begaana
Kya dekhti hai tumhari nazar
mujhko bataana
Do aankhein hai
Aankhon mein kya hai
Hmmmm... ek chehra hai
Kiska chehra hai?
Pucho apni dil se pucho.... Pucho hawaon se
hmmm hmmm hmmm
khoya khoya tha duniya ke raahon mein
tujhse milke hoonmein khoya
teri nighaon mein...

cant type any more while the song is going on. Anyway, missed a little oif what sanju baba says in the middle. And most of the song is basically this anyway. BEautifulk song, by the way. Rai is degrading. What rot about the 'classy' shit anyway that her agents are saying. There is nothing classy about her black saree in shabd, it is basically the same type of rot. She has to stay in the post-mallika Sherawat bollywood industry, you know. Now she has to hold on to the class line. Her kiss in kyon... ho gaya naa was class. The trailer was totally NOT class in Shabd....And she's coming in Dhoom2 with HRithik. Bad move there...
Ah well.
Who cares.

hmmmmmmmmmm ek chehra hai
kiska chehra hai
pucho apne dil se pucho
pucho hawaon se

that's going on now. YEah, it's basically the same song...

3 minutes to go for BROADBAND. I will probably try to login now, just to see...

same bloody error message
oh wait a minute!
Its you are already logged in, please try again!
How dumb of me...
