Beer wont be same anymore

Went to flying Saucer in Raleigh today with the 6th sense team and enjoyed some lovely and different beers, the place has 150 different beers. Had double chocolate beer which has the amazing taste of dark chocolate and very dark and creamy. Then had a tapestry beer, which is made by monks of......... and some part goes for aid in third world countries, last was a fruity beer which amazing taste and smell..... Man i hate everybody for making me taste some lovely beers. Then Todd took me to his home and made me drink an even awesome 11 yr old red wine, met his lovely kids stella-4months, Eva-3 and mickey -11. My taste buds are ruined now....................

why i like Ubuntu

My previous post might give an impression that Ubuntu sucks,,however here are some reasons i like it. I dont have to bother abt anti virus or antispyware. Synaptic is wonderful way to install/uninstall anything. I dont need to go to any website for downloading anything. I dont carry the guilt of using a pirated windoze. I get better performance from my old machine. Helped me to overcome my fear of linux.

Windoze free

I would like to be microsoft or windoze free sometime soon, i have been using ubuntu on my home machine since some time still am not quite there, some of the troubling things are- My webcam does not work on ubuntu skype sound settings occasionally change from what i set. flickr uploaders work pathetically or dont resize, have one issue or another. Getting pics from my kodak camera is painfully slow. K3b is good for CD burning, but still not there-recently i copied .dat files off a VCD and thought using k3b would again be able to make the VCD from it, something i had done in Nero before. It did not work with K3b and then tried some more CD burnign programs for linux, but they were worst that K3b. PLaying online music from sites like musicindiaonline or raaga is crappy, but shoutcast radio on VLC works, so that provides an alternative. Exchange support in Eudora is crappy. Yahoo messenger provides an ages old client for Linux, it should try and give a latest version. Pidgin is an alterna...

First US car drive

After visiting the St. patricks day parade in raleigh, decided to go to Walmart. Reached walmart with the help of the map, without much goofup except the indicators and wiper. Intermixed both of them, and it became worst in the way back when it started raining and i needed to use both. I took a wrong turn on way back and got lost for goood. Went back and forth and all arounf, Tried calling 2 people i know here and both did not pickup the phone. Stopped at a store enroute and asked for directions, the guy was new. Now i thought, i might have chewn more than i can digest. So back to basics, come back to the Highway u know and again try to retrace the map...problem, u have already exceeded it and 40 E, it to be 40 west now. Anyways went the opposite way on main highway and went round and round, i think for a 6 mile trip i travelled 50 miles. Scared the shit of ppl following me with turned on wierd indicators and off lane driving while reading maps. To top it all, a Big automatic pontiac t...
