On Board Internet

This is the best thing after sliced bread and I have been waiting for this for years.

Singapore Airlines on the Singapore London Sector and a few other sectors is giving access to Internet if you a Wireless Enabled Laptop. Now I don't have to waste 12 Hours of flying time staring at a Movie or a Book.

Unfortunately this is short lived since the service is being offered by Connexion from Boeing and they are taking it off air as of 31st December 2006. So if you are flying SIA from SIN => LHR would recommend you get a Fully charged Battery and surf away.

Consuming Now /Consumed ...

I am currently reading "The Afghan" by Frederick Forsyth. More Reviews later but the first impression is it is good. Update :: Great Book was quite impressed that this book interests my father too (He is not even a reader!!!) My Rating ::

I just finished "The Ice Station" by Matthew Reilly. A very good book fast paced book. If you get a chance read it. My Rating ::

Update to My Vista Installation

Had to Remove it from the computer and Install Red Hat Linux. I was fed up not even one publicly available product seems to work. The only thing that works is MS Office and Internet Explorer and that is useless to me unless I can install my VPN Client and none of the Clients seem to Work.

Went back to Good old Linux where everything works really great except for my Wireless Card. Need to figure out that, yes yes it is still open source and we do have teething issues.

All Said and done I would say if you are nota serious player go ahead and install Vista and give it a run.

Don't Flush...

Don't Flush if it is just a pee. This is what the Mayor's office is advising to save on water. Throw Hygiene Out of the Window. Wonderful !!!!

A Linguist in the making

A man was arrested in Seattle for speaking in Tamil says this news daily and this person has promised that he will not speak a foreign language in the Airport. Good so now how many languages should one learn if that person is traveling around the world. English is a Foreign Language to a lot of people in Europe so can we say it is threatening if I talk in English !!!

Windows Vista

Have managed to grab a Laptop lying around in the office and install Windows Vista RC1 today. It is available as a Customer preview Program if you need to try it. I should say it is very good though i am not a big fan of Microsoft but it is nice to see that they have done an excellent job on the Interface but as usual it needs more power and more power and more power ....

It ate away a whooping 7 GB off my HDD which was astounding since it did not even ask me what i wanted to install. The Installation process has been greatly simplified a few dialogs and it starts copying away ... very nice. Would still prefer it to ask me more questions on what to Install and start.

If you have a spare PC and 512MB of RAM i would say give it a go maybe just for the fun of it.

The Apple Guys mocked at the Logo saying it has gone inside a Bubble like the Lepoard Interface logo ... Not sure why they choose this.

Google Reader

A Blog aggregator created by google a year back has now become more mature. A Nice interface more keyboard shortcuts (very important for me) and does a very good job. As all Google sotware it is still in beta. Give it a try here it is - Google Reader.

Here is my Public Page that shows my favis from various Blogs.
