Planned PC Config.

A week before i was walking with some 300 bucks in my pocket, though it happens rarely - which makes me look around to make affordable things as essential things for me..My dad often advices me to be careful in distinguishing between 'just affordable' and 'essential' things. Luckily i am one among people for whom essential things are affordable. People used to love unessential things coz it is affordable, that day likewise i bought 'PC World' magazine for 60 bucks, could be 2 days lunch..though the magazine is available in online, reading of hardcopies are always preferred. Main reason i bought the book is - i am planning to assemble a PC, surely not now..waiting for Quads from AMD and Intel..yes, to go to Dual..Just Kidding..

I have been closely watching than ever before on the price slashes and the war between Intel and AMD.. I would prefer to put some 50K bucks to get a handsome pc.
The best Configuration for now seems to favor Intel Core 2..Here is the configuration I am thinking of..

Samsung 740 17" TFT monitor =10000
segate 250 gb Baracudda = 4000
ups m+tech 600 VA = 1800
tv tuner = 1500
mouse+keyboard(Microsoft) = 1000
Zebronics Antibiotic cabinet = 2000
1GB Tracend RAM = 4000
lite on shw-1635S dual dvd writer = 2200
total: 26500

So the balance is for Processor and Mobo..i am not planning for the Game card when I am going to assemble.. Now available things are:

intel core 2 duo e6300 = 9000
asus p5b deluxe = 10000

So the total comes 45500 for a pc. I decided to wait for the Intel mobo to come to the market, so that the processor and other mobo prices may decrease..so wats ur opinion..

Template Change

After i did the first post with the usual 'Minima Black' template, being a semi animatic designer (not professionally), i decided to change the template something different..so started googling and got some templates and out of them i put one during this post..hope you like it..But more works are there to change the sea anemone and starfish pics, which i am planning to do using my Photoshop Illegal version..Don't know when we can see indian softwares could be downloded and registered by paying Indian money..I am happy to be in India for using illegal softwares easily..

It took more time to figure out a good template, and i got something like if you download a template and put it in the blog, the style sheets(.css) and javascript (.js) mostly will be from the website you downloaded it, so your blog will take the pics and formats from the template website and data from the blogger.com. So i think it would be better to embed the .css and the .js in the template itself, so you can get the whole page from a single server blogger.com. I have to do this for my blog..so i am going to do it now..

Let's Get it Started

At Last even I have started to do this..yes..there were three main reasons which made me to hesitate to write a blog..

One -
I think I am good in simple English (without touching those important list GRE vocabs) , but I think I am worst in vocabs..
Two -
I feel shy when I am lonely, yes.. This is because when my friends are there i can do anything i can..(in tamil it is - 'eathyvitta enna venumnalum seivan') I have to blog when I am lonely without thinking what others think on me..its quite difficult for me..

Three -
I haven't read a single book if it is not meant for Exams and i was not interested in reading blogs before i started thinking about this.

So now why should i started wasting the space in blogger.com?..surely not wasting my time..coz i won't feel boring - having difficult to become old and also busy - having difficult in seeing whether i became old? I at first saw some of my friends general blogs(poetic like for which i have to sit with dictionary) which frightens me to come to this area, as all non-computer science software engineers did before they exceed the cs engineers..
But i found some of the blogs are with downloads links (its my passion) and with fun and info..I saw one of my friend's friend blog fully in tamil. Though i can really understand tamil very well,i could not read as faster as english and vise versa. This is the fate that lies on a good student from middle class in TamilNadu. But this blog is so good as reading Tamil monthlies with selected pages. I started thinking why can't we at least start which could be the end..so here are the reasons why I stated this:

One - I can get knowledge for this, coz i am not planning to write my personal dairy details or about the traffic in my city which everybody is experiencing daily. I could write something interesting or which is knowledgeable or some reviews coz every one is having their own views..

Two - I used to forget things faster than i used to store in my memory. Also I am having some virtual memory problem..So this blog might be of use to store some info which I can refer when needed..

Three -Expose my intelligence or foolishness to everybody..For safety precautions to avoid my foolish side, i have hidden the comments for now and I am not going to give link to some of my friends until my post count goes 2 or 3..

so meet you in next post, if u read up to this line..hopefully..
