More CCs added to my laptop's engine

Yesterday I upgraded my laptop with another GB of RAM. It had 1 GB previously now it's engine's volume grew up to 2 GB. Now I can try out few more tips and tricks on virtualization and can run windows vista to find out how much is sucks more. Vista users please forgive me for my last comment. Though I don't play much games but will make it dual boot with linux and vista so that I can play my favorite racing titles with breeze in vista and can use linux as my primary desktop.

I will soon update you all with this new experience. Be happy and let's rock.

An Important observation

Today, I was visiting Acer India site to get details of a laptop that my friend Shayon will buy this saturday, when I found out a interesting thing. This site has been hacked and most of the information were not there and message relating the hacking is display.

LIFE IS A ROLLER-COSTER

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wont be elaborating about the hit number by Ronan Keating, rather, my life has became a roller-coster now-a-days. This is one of the most important reason for not writing anything for so long. Well many new things happened within this period. Most Important is that 2007 passed by and 2008 dawned in.

Well starting of 2008 has marked the start of the new fear in every new ELTP who joined IBM in 2007. The fear of loosing their FIRST JOB. I am also one of them.Whatever may be the reason but the software business in India is facing a recess period since the start of 2008. Partly because of the turmoil that US Market is facing, partly because of the strengthening of Indian Rupee and various other reasons which go over my head.

Lately, I have started taking a lot of interest on Linux Programming. Working out a lot to learn it. Work pressure in my office is also very high this days so I get hardly any time to work for my personal goals. This is another reason for being late to write.

So, it is full of ups and downs that I am passing through. Only thing I know is that a very thin string is holding me and my job with IBM. Its only a email from the company that will decide my future.

Is it that fate of every Indian S/W Engineers lie on the US Market or is it that the strengthening of the Indian Economy is a curse for our fate. I don't know the answer and its up to other S/W engineers in service sector to find out.
