Hello…
A spanking new TV show has hit the tube …
Its called
Fringe … created by JJ Abrams of the Lost fame …
People say the show is a mix of Lost and the X-Files …
The story revolves around Olivia, a female FBI agent …
And her fight to uncover the truth and the Pattern …
I was never a fan of the X-files … but I did watch it …
I liked Lost when it started … I remember it was one of my favorites …
Then came too many questions … too many coincidences …
The answers came … but its was too little too late …
I hope this doesn’t happen with this show Fringe …
Cos the two episodes I’ve seen so far …
Has been very good … and gripping to say the least …
Fingers crossed … hope this gets to be a good show …
Laterx …

Hello …
These days its hard to have a coffee …
Without someone talking about politics or upcoming election …
But if time permits … some do talk about other stuff …
Like the submission of forms for the 488 flats in Hulhumalé …
As most of you … I wouldn’t mind getting a flat in Hulhumalé …
So … to get more information about the project …
I tried surfing to Hulhumalé Development Corporation website …
And something weird happened …
Google suggested not to visit the HDC site …
Said it may have software that might harm my computer …
This is the first it has happened to me …
Google asking me not to visit a local site …
So it got me thinking … why would HDC wanna harm anyone …???
There is nothing HDC can gain harming our computers, right … ???
So ask the tech guys out there … what is going on … ???

Hello …
I’ve been frequenting Nasandhura for around 12 years …
I’ve been a regular in their coffee shop for a bit more …
I’ve met some very good people while having my coffee there …
Over the years few of them have become my very good friends …
While others have become close colleagues easy to work with …
I’ve many memories attached to the place … mostly good ones …
And it makes me sad to see them prepare to close down …
I will miss my Malita black … I will miss the people I meet …
I will miss the environment … but most of all I will miss …
The Nasandhura … which had become part of my daily routine …

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 … ???

Hello …
Been waiting to find time to upgrade my blog …
This week … I finally managed to do it …
I updated wordpress … to version 2.5 …
It wasn’t as easy as I expected … it never is …
I had some broken links after the upgrade …
Had to manually fix them … thats messed up …
I’ve mixed feelings about this latest version …
When you first login … its amazing …
The admin area is well done … its really nice …
The dashboard is really kewl … and makes sense …
I like the new stats feature built right in …
I also found a liked the fullscreen mode …
What i did not like was … media management …
Everything was ajax’ed and changed …
I still dunno my way around most of it …
Hell … I had to reupload most of my images …
Just to get my thumbnails to work …
May be I need some time getting used to it …
Also … I changed my hosting …
This blog was previously hosted on site5.com …
My new host is the Grid Service at MediaTemple …
It all the rage these days … with positive reviews …
Let me know how this blog works for you …
If its unusually slow or anything like that …
I’d also like you to drop in a comment …
If you find any broken links … thanks …
And a call for help goes out to the local IT crowd …
If you’ve managed to get lightbox working in 2.5 …
Please let me know how … thank you …

Hello …
I watched the Vantage Point few days ago …
The movie had a good ensemble cast…
Dennis Quiad … Forrest Whitaker … Mathew Fox …
So I hate to say this but it was down right lame …
I’ll be the first to admit that the movie had a fresh concept …
It seems to me like the story unfolded in layers …
Each layer of the story being a personal account …
The movie keeps looping back every 25 mins or so …
It shows us the same events but from a different perspective …
The repetition was cool the first time … OK the next …
But when the clock turns back to 11:59 the third time …
It became annoying … almost dizzying towards the end …
It was not a movie I enjoyed … it let me down …

Hello …
So everybody was talking about
earth hour last week …
It was like all over the web… even on mvblogs …
I thought to myself that this is a good initiative …
I wanted to do my part in the conservation/awarness program …
So I set my cell phone alarm to remind me the day and the hour …
I was doing some work in my room when the alarm went off …
So naturally… I switched off most of my electrical stuff …
Thinking that many in the city would be doing the same …
That Male’ would be different somehow… may be even dark …
I headed out to my balcony to have a cigarette …
Too take in the scene… and see how people were reacting …
I was amazed that I didn’e see anything different …
I didn’t see any buildings powered down … not a single one …
The city didn’t seem to given a damn about it …
I had my cigarette… flicked it off … came back to the room …
Turned everything back on … and started working …
So much for tokenism… I kinda knew that it wouldn’t work …
It would’ve worked… if all power stations in the country …
Shut down at a pre=determined time … if not … sorry no way …
The sun comes up… the sun goes down… the lights remain on …
Some darkened their blogs… and some darkened their websites …
I’ve mine darkened year round… thats my bit… make do …

Hello …
I’ve been a fan of 24 ever since the show started …
I’ve wrote about the show several time in this blog …
But the show has been off for a while now …
May be ‘cos the movie is gonna come out sometime this year …
And season 7 is gonna roll out soon as well …
In the meantime … to get the wait exciting and blood pumping …
I’m gonna go ahead and get myself… a 24 Jack Bauer figurine …
Then… I can start to kick some serious ass … hehe …
Laterx …
Chloe::
Stop what you are doing and find out where I can get this …
And send the encrypted info to my screen and PDA …
I want this info now … and I mean now …
Or a lot of people are gonna get hurt … bad …
I’m gonna need you to trust me on this … hehe …
