A very passable day...
As I continue to write in this blog of mine, posts are getting more and more agonizing. I was cursing an uncle of mine, who "helped" me buy an assembled desktop computer during my first days in Bangalore. It wasn't till a year that I realized how the assembler guy, had cheated me. I went out to buy a video/graphics card today, so that ubuntu would not look as bulky as it does now. I spent 1300 bucks in buying something that simply does not fit into the allocations. I can proudly announce that I use an antique computer. The hardware is absolutely outdated, considering that it was the height of sophistication in 2004, when it was actually assembled. It was in 2006 that they were relieved to sell it to me. The amount that I have spent on it till date, replacing parts, and optimizing it, so that it can work, has totalled up to almost double of what I paid back them. I could have got myself a darn good lappy even back then at this price. BESCOM cut off lines for 4 hours today...
