Hello …
People ask me why I changed to Wataniya …
They say only fishermen and Bangladeshis use Wataniya …
I say … I don’t care … Its better and cheaper for me …
With Wataniya … I can stay on budget with ease …
And I don’t have to fill up a form every time I talk to them …
Also my ISP is not Dhiraagu … I use a Focus connection …
You know those coffee table wars on which ISP is better …
I have a heard good and bad things about both ISPs …
I’ve a Focus connection at home and I’m ok with it …
It might not be best or fastest … but it gets the job done …
These days … all I hear about Dhiraagu is that …
How cool and how fast their new 10mbps connection is …
I’ve tested it and it seems very fast … thats good …
But I don’t understand this ad I found on Haveeru Online …
They say Home Premier costs MRF 690/- and you get 20GB …
They also say Home Premier is MRF 2100/- and you get 30GB …
This doesn’t make any sense to me … how about you ???
Why would anyone have 2 packages with the same name …
Also … who in their right mind would go for MRF 2100/- package …
When you can get 3 MRF 690/- packages for MRF 2100/- …
And get 60GB free … you get my drift … ???
Dhiraagu 10mbps connection may be all the rage …
But I think I’ll stay with my unlimited Focus connection for now …
Also … I do use a Dhiraagu unlimited connection at office …
Its not that fast … but its pretty decent for the price …
What do you guys think …???

Hello …
I’ve this tendency to save my docs/PDFs online …
I do this coz I wanna have access where ever I may be …
You never know when you might need a copy of your ID card …
Or a copy of your passport for that matter … hehe …
I used to save my stuff in Yahoo! Briefcase since 2000 …
But some how … I missed their (multiple) announcements …
And around mid this year … I lost all my stuff with them …
That was a major bummer … but luckily I had backups …
I had copies of everything important … that was a life saver …
Since then … I’ve been looking around for a new service …
I settle on not one but two services … you know just in case …
One is Upload Robots … a fairly new service on the market …
They offer 4GB of storage free … more if you go pro …
I like their site … really like the user interface …
I also mirrored everything to my apple dot mac account …
A paid service … expensive … but easy to use with my OS …
They rebranded the service recently… its now known as dot me …
Guess with my stuff on two separate services …
The possibility of loosing it will be kept minimum … hehe …
What service(s) do you guys use to save/store your stuff ???
Lemme know …

Hello …
Have you guys heard about www.iulaan.mv … ???
Its a good local site with lotsa ads and announcements …
I was browsing the site today when I found this ad …
Apparently … a resort is looking for a dive instructor …
With a an instructor certificate … thats OK … right …???
So far so good … but what blew me away was that …
The ad says the dive instructor should speak 9 languages …
Yes … 9 languages … lets list them shall we …
English … French … Spanish … Japanese … Italian …
German … Russian … Chinese … and Korean …
I dunno about you … but I’ve never even heard of a diver …
Who can speak like 9 languages … I dunno that guy …
And I’m pretty sure you won’t either … cos its just not real …
And the fact they are looking for 8 such divers … awesome…!!!
They are just putting up ads … just for the sake of it …
How else can you explain this sorta stuff …??? Hehe …
Happy Ramadan to all of you …

Hello …
Few days back … on recommendation from some of my friends …
I downloaded and watched a documentary called ‘Home’ …
And I tell you … it was awesome … it totally blew my mind …
Home by Yann Arthus-Bertrand is a beautifully shot panorama …
Planet Earth and the damage done to it by modern humanity …
The film has breathtaking aerial footage from 54 countries …
Showing the pure beauty of our planet with amazing facts …
Glenn Close narrates the journey with very good original music …
We are shown the history of Earth how everything came about …
And how everything is interconnected and balance maintained …
It shows us how we … as the dominant species on this planet …
Has been brutally drilling in to our natural resources …
Without a thought about sustainability or future consequences …
It shows how far the ripples of our industrial decisions go …
It also shows us … towards the end of the film …
That there are cities … regions and nations … that have …
Made some forward thinking investments in to the future …
And how … we too can be responsible towards our only home …
I highly recommend this film to anyone and everyone …
Who has ever had a thought about our planet … our earth …
Watch this documentary … and be blown away …

Hello …
I was in KL a few days back …
I had the chance to watch Transformers 2 on big screen …
I was all excited waiting in line for an hour to get tickets …
But it seems my excitement was short lived …
The moment the movie began … after 20 mins of ads …
It went downhill from that point onwards …
Let me tell you …I really liked the first Transformers movie …
But this Revenge of the Fallen could not have sucked more …
The story with Sam brain sync’d with an alien map …
Too many robots and machines introduced in too little time …
Stuff blowing up for no apparent reason as if it just had to …
About 30 mins into the movie … I was confused …
I didn’t know which was which … or who was fighting who …
Who was good and who was evil … just metal against metal …
Megan Fox was there … she was hot … enough said …
Sam saves the day with the sand in his socks … awesome !!!
The whole movie was like one big explosion …
They say they could stay hidden in plain sight …
They should have stayed that way …
Gonna have to watch this movie a few times to make sense …
If you like Michael Bay and his bad ass movies …
You’ll love this … if not … welcome to the club …
Food for thought … all the cars in the movie was from GM …
And GM went bankrupt long before this movie came out …
Yes … I know I’m gonna get flamed by the fanboys …

Hello …
Its been sometime since I blogged about gadgets …
But this sure is a good time to do so …
As you may know if you follow me on twitter …
I was having an iPhone … and I enjoyed it a lot …
I’ll be the first to say … the apple iPhone is a good phone …
Its a fancy device … its the smoothest touch phone ever …
But for me … it had some annoying limitations …
Bluetooth didn’t work … couldn’t forward text messages …
I couldn’t even send a contact’s detail to a friend …
(Yeah … i know about WeTool … it seldom works) …
These small annoyances can make one go mad pretty soon …
So I decided to get a new phone and started to explore options …
I finally settled on the new Nokia E71 … and sold my iPhone …
Believe me when I say this … Nokia E71 is an amazing phone …
Its really looks nice … and build quality feels really good …
It has a full qwerty keyboard and some kewl functions …
I use fring for IM/Skype … and twibble for twittering …
And ofcoz … I installed Opera Mini as my browser …
I’m testing push email on it … with emoze …
Its a very stable phone … haven’t crashed yet …
If you are in the market for a smart mobile device …
I recommend you seriously consider the new Nokia E71 …
That being said … I do have a small problem …
If I have a contact saved in the format +960xxxxxxx …
If I get a text message … the name would come up fine …
But if a get a call … it shows the number without +960 …
I’ve been told a firmware update would fix this …
But so far … there is no upgrade available for my phone …
I do know a guy who has the same Nokia E71 he bought in Dubai …
He doesn’t seem to have this problem with his phone …
So i guess it the software and a region setting … or both …
Any help in solving this problem would be greatly appreciated …

Hello …
Okay … so this is the problem I’m having …
Every Friday … around 12 noon or there around …
When I wanna take a shower befor Friday Prayer …
The tap would just run dry … and stay dry …
On weekdays … the same happens around morning 7 …
Guess everybody who lives in the building …
Wanna take showers at the exact same times …
I’ve talked to some of my friends about this …
Especially those who live a few floors up …
And it seems they have the same problem …
I dunno about you … but for me …
Its kinda frustrating when I have to …
Run around in the toilet … trying to get wet …
This is like the smallest city in the world …
Seriously … how hard is it gonna be …
To up the water pressure … at these times …
I can understand that a pulsating shower head …
Or an aerated water stream may be difficult …
But come on guys … open up those valves …
Give us more water … we do pay for it right ???

Hello …
Its hard to stand still and do nothing …
When something kewl and apparently revolutionary …
Is happening and everyone is getting all worked up …
So it seems like everyone is twittering these days …
I do like the idea of being always connected …
I think I’d like to stay informed and be updated …
So I’m giving this twitter thing a try now …
If you think I’m any good or interesting enough …
Do follow me … I promise I wont spam you … hehe …
I’ve only been twittering for a few hours …
And now … I’ve like a dozen people following me …
I could be found at www.twitter.com/subcorpus …
Lets see how this web/IM/phone thingy rolls out …
I see some good in it … also see a bit of evil …
But hey … facebook status is almost the same …
And nobody seems to be complaining about that …
So … lets do the twitter thingy … shall we … ???
