Looking forward to...

I hope this weekend would be a little different from the previous ones. Atleast I am not cribbing this Friday in my post. That is one change. Second change is at the end of this post. So smart people can just scroll down, read the change and can close the window.

My travails with my network continued till this Friday. It was a small network setting, which our IT folk did not pay any heed to and instead concentrated on downloading drivers from the net. One has to use a screwdriver when it's needed and a sledge hammer when it is required. This stupid thing, brings a well known tale into my mind. Americans while going into space developed a super pen that works without the ink getting frozen, developing a fine tip and taking into consideration, all the crap that goes in space. That is the result after spending lot of money, resources and energy into the project. And Russians simply used a pencil in space. (Credibility of the story has to be established) Thinking that the same principle - go to google, search for drivers, download them, download their patch versions as well, as a Diwali gift - without actually addressing the problem is not the mantra all the time.

This week I was little eventful in moving my ass and went out doing little things for my own. The usual routine would be, get back from work at 7 pm and lie on the bed and watch the idiot box for couple of hours , wait for the dinner to be delivered, again watch for an hour, until I get to see few clippings of 'Comedy Junction' and then go to bed ( read as sleep, coz I will be on the bed all day long as I don't have a chair in my room) at 11:30 pm - thinking, phew, I am not having enough sleep and am just not able to sleep before 10 pm. Truth is I would get up at 8:30 am ( even in summer) , having a solid 8 hours sleep and still yawning and struggling to get up in the winter. Wanna sleep, sleep and more sleep till I get retarded and brain becomes stinkingly stale . Daddy says, nope. Yeah, I know, how people who sleep only for less than 6 hours would think now.

I went out to my friends place last night and burned couple of CD's of the songs that I like. Only a couple because, I wanted to burn my CD in .wav format, not in .mp3 . Am I nuts to burn music in incredibly bulky wav format. You don't stop asking questions, do you? And for that I had to download mp3 to wav converter and those that are available are only trial versions. So that allowed me to burn only 30 odd songs and some CD players do not recognise mp3 format. You got an answer now, happy? It's been like what, three years since I bought my second hand laptop and it's been in the cupboard for more than half its lifetime in my under, and I feel sick dodging the question, how is your laptop? I would not dispose it off, that soon and neither I don't have any plans of buying a new one. Old habits freaking die hard. I have my laptop for namesake and have friends laptops for usage sake.

So I could talk to a DJ in a restaurant cum pub and he told me to come with my own music, so I could try a hand on DJ'ing. You heard it right, DJ'ing. He told me to convert the music format and said, Just come with 10 or 20 CD's . I was like what ??? I said okay. I am all geared up this Friday. I am going this evening with two CD's and still doubtful whether this would work on his machine. I am up for something today. I shall be happy if he allows me to play couple of songs atleast for my couple of CD's. Hoping that things would go fine. I am already pumped up and at the same time my heart is beating a little faster. I would post more of my adventures with the music next week. I am really looking forward to this second change on this fantastic Friday.
