Broadband at last

I got a BSNL broadband connection today. Yaaay!! That is so cool. No more relying on the Reliance wi max which is good while it lasts. After being around for quite some time, Reliance has still not ironed out the DHCP server issues. There are times when it gets really difficult to get an IP address. Think of a critical issue at work that needs to be solved and you can't get online. Sucks!

No more cribbing about these issues. I now have BSNL broadband. Let's hope it works well. If not, I have one more sob story for the blog. I am writing this post on the BSNL connection actually. Speedtest.net gave it a 256kbps score. The Reliance one I guess was a little faster at 300kbps.

Movies I watched in the last 24 hours: The Holiday (now on HBO) and Velli thirai (saw most of it, need to finish).

Reading: Finished the Inuyasha manga series. Also the Tsuki no Shippo series. I should soon add a link to onemanga.com on the blog. The least that I can do.

Back!! Again!

I've decided to start blogging again.... again!! Some things that I noticed about the blog being that I have over a "thousand" impressions. Guess it must be google doing all the visiting, or friends just checking in to see if I have anything interesting to say. Like I ever did!! Another thing I've noticed is that I have this ad sense account attached to this blog alone that's made 55 cents in the past year or so. Thank god I don't have to pay to maintain this account. 

Currently reading Inuyasha at onemanga.com and Head First Design Patterns. Waiting eagerly for Conn Iggulden's next book on Genghis Khan - "Genghis - Lord of the Bows". And working on something very interesting at office. For folks who haven't been in touch with me, I now work for Amazon.com. And yeah, the book links point to Amazon. ;). And no, I don't make a cent from these links. Just that finding any book on the site is easy as I work on it all the time.
