Twitter Outage Dec 17th

looks like twitter is suffering from a major outage from evening today..hope its not another denial of service attack...I hate it when i cant tweeeeett..even if its once a day ::(

Broken Windows Media Player 12 on Windows 7

These seemed to have worked for me when media player didnt load on windows 7. (wmp 12 : Remember you cant uninstall/reinstall windows media player, but you can add/remove from windows components. I dont think doing this fixes any driver issues like a fresh install would).

Ran this as Admin on command prompt. If you are using UAC, then All Programs -> Accessories -> Right click on CommandPrompt and select run as admin

1.) sfc /scannow

2.) If sfc doesnt work, then on the same command prompt try
type "regsvr32 jscript.dll" and press enter.
type "regsvr32 vbscript.dll" and press enter.

Also worth having some registry cleaners check you registry. Tweaknow seems to work best for me.

HTH

flying back to calif, back to work

Dont ever try to cut ur own hair!!!

Got worked up and tried this after reading a DIY article...i strongly recommend against it...tried a complicated optics arrangement to get a 360 view...it cost me a lot $$$$ to correct the small mistake of using a convex instead of a concave lens !!

what a fantastic idea...what a fantastic adaptation of the song..

This is the poem stream of life from Rabindranath Tagore ( offcourse i didnt translate it, thanks to other bloggers out there :) ).

Stream of Life

The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day
runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures.

It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth
in numberless blades of grass
and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers.

It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth
and of death, in ebb and in flow.

I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life.
And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment.

We could use more of this, esp with the airlines trying to charge us for everything.

Encrypt your USB drive -- More than just a Thought!

If you are holding some important information in your thumb drive, make it a point to encrypt it. As these flash drives get larger(4-8GB is common now), its only natural we tend to back up a part or most of our hard drive files to it.

There was a recent report that 1 in 7 usb drives are lost in 6 months. Encryption is easy to do and will save you a LOT of headache.

This is one of the best http://www.truecrypt.org/ and its free. Play with it. It takes about 15 minutes to set it up on multiple devices. Once its done, it is on the fly encryption, so you dont have to worry about leaving traces on your harddrive.

Cheers,

Fitness Assessment..

Went to the 24hr fitness gym after a year. Had some for of orientation / fitness assessment. This is kind of how it went

Instructor: Did you finish your warm up?
HD: yeah .

Instructor: What did you do?
HD: Go for a Jog.

Instructor: And how long was that?
HD: 60 minutes.

Instructor: Really?
HD: No.
HD: Was more of like 30 minutes walk and 30 minutes jog.

Instructor: Really
HD: No.
HD: I just saw the clock, maybe something like 10 minutes walk 2 minutes of jogging.

Instructor: You must have some pretty good stamina
HD: Really?
Instructor: NO!

... and with that he put me through some stretching exercises. During the various moves, i kind of felt that part of my lungs, liver, kidney and legs were separating ways from me. Like they wanted to stay back as thank you gift.
