iPod

Finally I managed to buy an iPod. As soon as I got this months salary I bought an iPod, a 2GB iPod Nano, neat stuff. I don't know I seem to have a thing for gadgets and softwares. So here I go rollicking with my iPoddy...

Internet

I finally got rid of my Hathway connection and got hold of Dataone. In chennai Hathway service was ridiculously bad. Usually the connection downtime is more than the uptime.Even though it worked slightly cheaper as the initial investment is comparatively
less, the speed was not up to mark nor were their service. To get the dataone connection I had to pay initially 2k (1k - phone, 1k - modem) and a monthly rental of 500 bucks. I think it is worth it as the connection is over a telephone line it usually never goes down. Moreover in papers they promise a speed of 256kbps-2Mbps. I ran a speed test and found it to be 1Mbps which is pretty neat.

Cool Vid!

Hey Guys,
Check this video out, its kinda a groovy and catchy tone.
The lady who sings it is not bad either. She could definitely give Shakira a run for her money.

Apparently, she is a Pakistani singer name Annie.

Ubuntu 7.04 Beta

I came to know that Ubuntu had released a new verion 7.04 alias Fiesty fawn. I went to their website and ordered for the CD online. I got it in a matter of two weeks. As my lappy is AMD 64 bit, I had ordered for a 64 bit version. I am yet to try it. I shall update my blog once I install it. I am also planning to install Beryl along. This version is said to be the most user friendly of all versions until now.

POC-At The World's End

"Pirates of the Carribean - At the world's end" will definitely be one of my all time favourites. The movie is quite long, spans to approximately 3 hours. But it is an absolute treat for three hours.
What surprised me is that the keira knightley seems to be having the majority of the screen time. Part two of the movie ended with Jack being sent to David Jone's locker. This movie unfolds as he is back and as the others go in search of him. The graphics are simply amazing. Towards the end of the movie there is a fight between the black pearl and David Jone's ship around the brim of a whirl pool, simply awesome!! All in all I would say, A real treat and worth of money.

Hey watchout, as there is a bonus scene after the credits, I missed it . Damn!
For now take a look at the trailer of the movie.

Sivaji!!

Sivaji is a revolution out in Chennai. Infact it is huge all over south India and the U.S. Tickets had been sold out a week back itself in the U.S. The movie comes with a thumping punchline said by Rajni "Pera kettale... chumma athiruthillai?" , which translates to, doesn't listening to my name itself freak you out. More than 1 lakh people had watched the movie in Tamilnadu itself on the first day of its release. Rajni used to be a bus conductor in Bangalore long before he was a superstar. I wonder what made him into a religion among the Tamil community.
I am just waiting for the day to grab a ticket and watch the movie myself. For now you can have a sneak peek at the trailer.
