Hmmm, the Pangu breed needs to be kept at a curb.. else I am sure it mite spread like wildfire :P !!

Anyhoo, finally got connected to the net from the apartment. The laptop seems really nice to actually be used as a blogging tool ;-) !

@ staney_boy: Btw, the Dell 1705 is OK!! I am going in for the Toshiba Satellite A100 dude. The equivalent of the DELL 1705 here is the Dell Inspiron 9400 series. But that’s JUST not affordable yet for me. I mite be able to afford those probably next month. So, I mite just wait, and if I can wait, then I mite as well wait for an awesome deal, when the Duo Core 2 is released and Duo Core prices fall like bricks :-D !

Btw, the weather’s really nice today, with it becoming more like Bangalore and the temperatures also proceeding towards the same. Now going out with Harsha for he has to buy sum chocolates and all… and I am really really hungry. My breakfast got screwed thanks to the milk curdling… :-D !!

And did sum1 else say it rather not be….

Me says…let it be as wild as possible…thats what being in a new country with no restrictions and too much time on your hand should let you do… :) And also the fact that beer is free flowing there :P

I’m sure the special sum1 doesnt mind you having a little fun…all she wud expect is that you tell her about it…[you see,she'll need to kick sum @$$ after that...but thats alright!! :P ]

Just make sure that you dont spread the pangu breed across germany…We dont want too many little pangus running around :P

I am in Deutschland, where in the only non German channels, are BBC, CNN, B4U Music, and TV5 [French]!

Actually there are more, TVE [TV Espanol, Spanish]. Anyhoo, at least so much that I can discern. Consequently, I now know most of the Hizbullah militant leader’s and their chamchah names, but then that’s about it. TV, IOW is non-existent, especially when I try to watch Lizzy McGuire, or whatever in German, it suddenly doesn’t appeal, except for the humor factor!

The only thing, which I can and do watch are some sports channels with Deutsch commentary, which thankfully can be muted!

So, as a result, I sleep early after jogging, a shower and cooking [:O Yeah, things I do to pass time]!!

Someone loan me some money, so that I can buy a laptop. Btw, I might go for the Toshiba Satellite A100 deal that The Overclocked Fragger suggested.

I’ve got it…but that’s the only one by Tom Petty I have.

Right now I’m hooked to Joshua Radin…very mellow stuff! “winter” is an awesome track…if you’ve watched Scrubs…you may have listened to him…

But, don’t have wheels yet and don’t have no hope o getting any either, thanks to the peanuts, which they are offering me. Making me reconsider the time to get a laptop, which just makes me work harder to start writing about Germany. Anyhoo, complex thought processes owing to a Friday afternoon, and lack of people around me :-D !! Especially people known as bosses. ;-) !

Btw, Free Falling is by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, if I remember rite… If you don’t have the song, I can send it to you!
;-) !

Sorry to write all these down into the posts and the comments, but then that’s the only place I have to call my own now :P !

And hopefully for someone’s sake, let it not be too wild :-D !! Rather, not wild at all… Err any comments, special sum1 ;-) ???

It’s pretty good dude! The work is awesome. The people are nice. The weather is supposed to be really great, but for me it’s a bit too warm, especially used to namma uroo Bengaluru for a year…

But it’s green, it’s modern and that combo always manages to take my breath away. ;-) !

Sounds great! Really!

Ok…see…I had an oppurtunity to work somewhere else once…and I was worried about missing those “moments” and i made a choice and here i am! I have no regrets!

Be glad that you have great great memories to look back to man!! Being there is probably one of those very wild experiences you can tell your kids about! ha!

Can’t wait for you to recount your adventures in the Fatherland!

Cheers

It’s just that whenever you have to look into the keyboard, you’d not find any help unless of course you start the online keyboard! :-D !

Btw, 2MBPS is heaven allrite :-D !

But, Staney, in Washington DC – 40MBPS @ hotel and 400MBPS in office. WTF is THAT all about? Hehehehe!

But, yeah will be happy with 2MBPS. Now you gotta send me sum links from where I can download data. :-D !
