Yet Again!!! Another shaadi blog

Yet again it is time for another Shaadi blog. But this time everything is different because its my sister and she's going to drive off into the great Australian outback on her Supra before I graduate which is both good and kinda sucks at the same time. :/

Well what can I say!!!! Anyways I arrived from GIK(HELL) yesterday and I missed the nikkah but I'm looking forward to the Mehndi that is scheduled for today.
(Note:See card below)



Everyone is busy in his own way. KB is in search for a Digital Camera for the event. My younger brother is preparing for his papers before the Mehndi. I wonder how the event is going to turn out to be. Wonder how I'll ever figure out the bhangra in time!! I guess I'll just have to put on some rap song on and improv. :P My sister will be doing the robot or at least that is what she claims. Lets see what KB conjures on the spot. This shall be interesting. :D

As far as the nikah was concerned, Abid uncle missed me, but you cant say that I didnt enjoy the event cos at least I enjoyed the food. But I missed my dad's kukkar and rat dance that he created for that event. We'll I'll just have to be really creative today. The only sucky thing is the shalwar Kameez. I'm laughing my arse off imagining KB in one already. Apart from that, Hashim just called me today and told me not to worry about GIKI and that he'll do my assignments for me(Boy!! For a big time procrastinator, I'm lucky to have good friends).

Oh and I met Raheel yesterday night, friendly chap, addicted to cricket. I guess i'll try to get to know him better in the upcoming days. The sucky thing is that I'll have to return to GIKI on wednesday not leaving me too much time.
P.S. I'll try to keep you people posted with the updates

Recent developments

Okay now I'm back in GIKI(A synonym for hell, also my university) and all the stuff you've missed and I didnt blog about:-

1. How I reduced my CPU core temperature by 20 degrees C.
2. My mom and sisters devious ploy which resulted in me getting a haircut (dont even ask)
3. Eid, on which I visited my recently departed(My God Bless her) grandma's grave the first time.

Anyways now that I'm back I hope I'll be able to work on my FYP(it actually means Final Year Project :P). If not then I'll just watch a couple of TV series and kill the time.

Yesterday's Puppy Linux experiments didnt go as smoothly as I expected so I'll play around with the iso's a bit more before burning em. I handed over the responsibility of designing the super sonic double bionic multipurpose gizmo I've always dreamed of to a designerI recently met. Apart from that everything's going fine and I hope to get myself back in shape in a couple of weeks. All those iftaris at home made me gain a pound or two. When will the sports complex open :/

And oh where is Moody, I cant wait to get my hands on his throat. A lot has happend recently because of him, and one particular incident that happend day before yesterday is one of the funniest yet most humiliating things that happened to me in a long long time.

Oh and B^A has gone to Balakot to help the earthquake victims once again. He's setting up a school there. Too bad I couldnt go with him this time :( . Got caught up in wedding preparations for my sister.

Anyways all of you guys have fun and take care, stay tuned

Eid without a hard drive resident OS :(

Just a couple of hours ago I was a happy person until I had to mess around again with my linux installation. I tried to write a script that could clear logs, temporary files and other stuff that was make my life easier (not such a hard thing to do) but as a result and carelessness I ended up deleting my Linux Files. Thank God I had verbose mode on in the script otherwise I might have ended up erasing my precious data as well. I only lost my conf files. Anyways I think I'll go to sleep for now and get XP set up in the morning. Its about time I shifted to SP2.

Plus stupid Ubuntu isnt letting me cp files from my NTFS C:/Documents and Settings to my FAT32 D: Something with incompatible file names I assume, but still this is preposterous. Looks like I'll have to end up attaching the drive at my bro's PC and worry about linux later.

Take care Ya'll and until next time stay tuned and EID MUBARAK!!!!!!

Blog Feeds Ahoy!!

Another productive yet useless way how to spend my Time. After Hatim showed me Akregator, it looked so cool that I had to get it for myself!!!!!!! Mine all mine!!!!. So I got the program and stared adding feeds for everyone elses blog and it works wonders. It can check other peoples blogs for updates regularly and show new posts, without you having to type out any adress. No Links involved. Also works great with news, etc etc (Almost anything that gives an orange Feed Button on the lower right corner when viewed with Firefox. Heres how the Akregator interface looks.

A day in the life of an I-T during holiday season

Today (rather yesterday) was just another usual holiday season day for me. It starts off with me making a big mess. i.e. Playing around with my Hard Drive Partitions in Windows causing GRUB to give errors, Shifting the Hard Disk to my bro's PC, hypothesizing and Deleting Partitions in order to make stuff work, getting GRUB to work again somehow, going to hafeez center and getting Price quotes for Athlon 64 processors and Motherboards, a CD bag and Network wire extenders, coming back home and fixing the link between the floors, facing problems initially due to service tweaking and later on due to a wire being cross-over and also because of XP Firewall, and if you guys think this is not enough, configuring Windows ICS Connection with Linux (A really big Headache, but nonetheless like most other stuff simple at the end) followed by downloading update Patches for Suse10 which is still going on.
