Lets enjoy it while it lasts !!!

Have some new means to kill time at office : Orkut and Linked in ,besides crosswords ,rediff movies page and at one time sudoku.I hope they dont ban us from using any of these sites :( ..Then life would be so miserable . Also I'll be completing 2 yrs at Sun tommorrow and by coincidence its also the annual day of my company.There's a bash at some place farrrrrrrrrrr from office(called Whitefield) ,which i dont plan to attend coz I'm travelling back home .. I always look fwd to going back coz I'm treated so royally (if i stay for the weekend only) ..They think we struggle it out day and night and do lot of intelligent work out here..I dont even try to change their perspective :) ...Lets enjoy it while it lasts !!!

Copied BFU archives from http://dlc.sun.com/osol/brandz/downloads/brandz_release_2006-04-28-tar.bz2 The files in step 3 were copied to /tmp/brandz 4.To BFU the system,these variables next to be set 1. # FASTFS=/opt/onbld/bin/i386/fastfs ; export FASTFS 2. # BFULD=/opt/onbld/bin/i386/bfuld ; export BFULD 3. #GZIPBIN'/usr/bin/gzip ; export GZIPBIN # cd /tmp/brandz_release_2006-04-28.tar.bz2 # bunzip2 -d -c brandz_release_2006-04-28.tar.bz2| tar xf - #./bfu.sh brandz_release_2006-04-28 #pwd This will take you to a directory /

The weekend

The only memorable thing this weekend was watching Anthony Kaun Hai with my friends.I enjoyed the movie.There were a few unwanted songs but overall I had a good time ,paid 40 Rs for the ticket --so it was a total paisa vasool. Also we celebrated "Friendship day" by calling some friends for lunch .We had pav bhaji and puliyogre (my speciality coz its easiest to make) on the menu ...

Another day ...

My hard disk got formatted and I lost all my songs :(. A nice compilation of my fav entries . Too bad . Otherwise the day started off in a very lazy mode . Reached office at 11.30 --had lunch with a friend at 12.30 and now have a movie session at 5.30 !! No time for work --not that I want too :)
