iPod Shuffle :)


My iPod Shuffle finally arrived today, much earlier than I expected.

The nifty little device came with an attractive packaging, and inside was my iPod Shuffle with custom laser engraving. I’m headbanging to my trance MP3s now, so this is the end of this entry!

iPod Mania


I was almost going to order an iPod Nano, but luckily I came across some life-saving review sites. After few days of analysing information from various sites and sources, I finally ordered my iPod today — not Nano, but Shuffle. Sure Shuffle doesn’t have a display or a click wheel, but for a careless person like me it’s the best choice. Shuffle is virtually bomb-proof, which is just what I’m looking for. Nano is too delicate for me to handle!

Laser engraving comes free with this $105 gadget, and my one will have my name engraved. I’m expecting the shipment to arrive by mid June.

AverTV Studio 203


I got myself an AverTV Studio 203 internal TV tuner card today. The good thing is that this nifty device works as a FM tuner as well. I can finally watch TV and listen to radio lying on my bed! :)

Blogger Code


I just got a Blogger Code for myself, and it is:

B2 D++ T++ K- S U- F- I O++ X- E+ L C-

In layman’s terms, this means:

“I’ve been blogging for 3-6 months. I own 2 or more domains that are updated regularly. I maintain and manage my blog with my own home-grown content management system. I don’t have many links on my site and/or my links are primarily non-blog related.Blogger Code I check my stats occasionally, mostly to discover new blogs that are linking to mine. I don’t link to any of the A-list blogs (Megnut, Kottke, Robot Wisdom, etc.)… if I ever want to visit their site, I’ll just follow a link from someone else’s blog. I don’t post that frequently. In fact, I’m lucky if I manage to post 2 or 3 new entries a week. I blog from either home or work, but only after my work is done and when I get some free time. Nearly all the topics I blog are personal experiences or original writing that can’t be found elsewhere on the web. I might flirt a little with other bloggers, but anything beyond that is out of the question. I have posted quite a few photos of myself, but I was fully clothed in them all, thankyouverymuch. I’ve taken a few surveys or participated in a few memes, but there seem to be so many of them I have to pick and choose. There are a few select people I’ve specifically kept in the dark about my blogging but, for the most part, most people know about it or could easily find it via a web search.”

You can get your own Blogger Code from here.

NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200


It’s time to say goodbye to my sucky 32 MB built-in AGP card, I finally bought a decent one!

Gigabyte nVidia FX 5200 AGP Card

My new graphics card is a Gigabyte product, and comes with 128 MB of DDR RAM, and NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 GPU. It supports AGP 8X and 4 pipelines. It has DVI-D, D-sub, TV output. It’s not a high-end graphics card, but will serve my purposes — it’s all that I need to play FlightGear and BZFlag! :)
