Confessions of a Dangerous Mind

I brought my PC from home last month and have been having a good time finally hearing some good music on my speakers. I run Ubuntu with no Windows installed. At the behest of my roomies and the greed to play games I finally installed Windows and things went crazy. Virus attack within hours forced me to do a reinstall! Cannot access Ubuntu since XP insists on overwriting the MBR. Tried all alternate methods. Finally had to download the Ubuntu CD. Now going to try my luck with it! Prayers people! Prayers! Thats what I want! P.S: Check out new gadgets. Though it takes some time to load, it won't affect the load time of the main posts.

Another feature is you can add your own songs to the gadget if you log in to the blog using Google FriendConnect. An incentive for signing up! The other gadget is from Blip.fm , in which you can listened to the last 5 songs I blip...

I do miss gaming, but wheres the time anyway. After office hours and reading up stuff (online and offline) leaves me very little time for games. So lets see my activities one by one: Music My music collection is more playable and rather delectable now by using Amarok. A huge jump from the days of winamp and then QCD (QCD is excellent though when coupled with iZotope Ozone plugin.) Amarok really deserves all the gushing and more. It really deserves a post on its own. Native last.fm integration and kickass library are the highpoints for me. Movies VLC for everything! Had to take some effort to install libdvdcss to watch encrypted DVDs though. Internet I download a lot....
