Call of Duty – World at War or just WaW
May 14, 2009 | Leave a Comment
After a disappointing and depressing showing at online Halo 3 social slayer, I am trying my hand at Call of Duty WaW. I got a killer deal from craigslist for 30 bucks for a used game. The game is still selling for 60 bucks on the store shelves. I have to see how long I will be playing this game. On a side not my PS3 is collecting dust, will be watching DaVinci Code Blu ray tonight.

IPL Woes and Fake IPL Player
April 22, 2009 | Leave a Comment
If not for KKR (Kolkata Night Riders), I consider this whole IPL 2009 season to be a disaster. It is not interesting and I feel watching batsmen wack bowlers for sixes in small grounds and batsmen friendly tracks without any timing and with only sheer raw power. This only proves one point that the organizers want to deliberately undermine the bowlers and want to make sure that the trolls in the stadium get fed with boundaries and lots of runs. IPL is nothing but a cash register.
FakeIPLPlayer has been creating a lot of buzz this IPL season. He has some fancy nicknames for some players, owners and coaches. My personal favourite is Dildo for SRK. He acted like a dick ousting Dada from captaincy as soon as the base shifted from India to SA. By the way Amir is better than Dildo. In think fakeiplplayer is Amir Khan 
. Hope KKR loses this IPL. I have no respect for those who disrespect Dada. He is the one who paved the win for this team to be on a winning path. I can say Dada did to team India what Border did to Australian cricket. This stupid dildo came from his Manat mumbai to just show that he has the power. Bravo fakeiplplayer. Kudos and continue the great job.
Adios.

New home and new life
April 2, 2009 | Leave a Comment
It has been a while since I blogged. This is my first post since I got married and took the role of real life Peter Griffen. I spent the entire last week on fixing bed which I got from Ikea (which is taking forever), buying stuff (like kitchen utensils, groceries etc). Being a family guy is difficult, that is the only thing I reailized. It took me more than a month to blog again. I can officially say that I am back and will try to blog often.

Supercomputer and me
February 4, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Gazing through the vast information available on the Internet might not be good. This time I stumbled on an article on how to build a supercomputer just by shopping online on ebay, newegg etc. The whole idea revolves around a supercomputer architecture called Beowulf. I will never be able to afford to build a supercomputer using beowulf architecture. So to make things easy for tech enthusiasts like me Joel Adams built Microwulf.
My next project after returning back from my vacation will be to pool up some money to build a Microwulf based homebrew supercomputer. Two thoughts are going through my mind, either reduce power consumption by using Intel Atom based processors or go for just raw computing power using AMD 64-bit Quad Core processors. The reason behind chosing an AMD processor is to reduce the final price.
I will try to look into other architectures but Microwulf can be definitely implemented with the documentation available on their website. Will be posting out more information soon.
Adios.

Cleaning Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex Part 1
January 18, 2009 | Leave a Comment
For some time since Ubuntu came up with Intrepid Ibex, I have been installing packages without even thinking whether I really need them. I was able to remove the packages, but it is almost impossible to track down shared libraries unless you manually note them down and remove them. I have an x86_64 machine which makes my life much worse. The problem with x86_64 is sometimes I get to install 32-bit libraries. Target for me is to clean up the mess on my machine without having to reinstall.
I found some of the following links useful:
More to come stay tuned…

I was looking around for some open source applications for Windows and I found the kind of site which I am looking for (http://www.opensourcewindows.org). This is so awesome.
