Goodbye old friend.. you will be missed

The President of Iraq, Mr. Saddam Hussein, was executed at 6.00 AM local time. While I do not approve of his actions even if they are not as horrendous as the media has portrayed, he is one of the rare breed of men who stand up to what they think is right.

Happy Hols!

For those of you who celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, or any other religious thing during this season, my best wishes.
For those of you who suffer through this season of nauseating melodies and tasteless decorations, just take solace in the thought that this too shall pass in a week or so. For the pessimists in you, [...]

Phone Call

Its 11.54 PM on Sunday, and I just got a call from QoH. WTF? Who in their right mind calls people at midnight? Anyways, I didn’t answer the call just out of spite; plus I did not want to reward him for calling people at such ungodly hour.

A Backbone.. finally

An early email from QoH rung in the long weekend with a warrant to present myself at his office to join him this weekend to write 3 manuscripts. Mind you, none of them are either important or urgent. I sent him a single line email, saying no. It feels sooo good to finally grow a [...]

For those of us stuck using Windows XP, and need more than 3 clicks to reach any file, a sweet little tool called “Launchy” might be the answer to our prayers. I have been using it for a week now, and now I dont know how I ever lived without it. Give it a try!
