Saw Subbu’s list, and it reminded me to note down my list. The list is in order of preference and/or need.

• DELL SP2208WFP 22″ TFT — I love this! However, I might settle on a 19″ TFT instead. Suggestions welcome. This is needed ASAP to replace my decade old 14″ CRT always-5months-pregnant monitor. GOT THIS.
• External 500GB/750GB HDD — My current 300GB+40GB combo has almost run out of space. Low disk space warnings appear on multiple drives! I’m planning an external hard disk because that way I can use it with the laptop. GOT THIS (although I settled for an internal 750gig HDD).
• SONY MDR-XD200 Headphones — I need this pretty badly. Every time I play music or even watch a movie, parents downstairs start to complain. 8-) And besides, I can’t Counter-Strike without a headphone. GOT THIS. Check review.
• DELL Inspiron 1525 — Well this depends on which college I get into since most of the colleges in my list give a free laptop on admission. But it is one heck of a sexy laptop.
• Logitech Cordless mouse — Previous cordless Logitech mouse is screwed. Using a spare 4-yr old optical mouse now, and that has put my gaming off. Haven’t decided on which model to buy. Corded or cordless will depend on whether I get a laptop or not. Current choices — G5 or MX518. Was also planning for the G15 keyboard. Having used it at the SKOAR! expo, I know I WANT it. Then again, there’s nothing wrong with the current keyboard I have. GOT THIS. Got a Logitech MX518.
• Better, more ergonomic, comfortable chair — The current one is not made for the desk I’m using. So kinda hinders my usage of the keyboard+mouse, not to mention give me a pain in the back.
• Lite-On DH-20A4P-08 DVD-RW — Dunno if this is the best, but this sure is the last thing on my list. It’s been years since the DVD became a common part of life, and yet, I have no desire to want one. I have teh Internet, and teh pen drive. But I guess with a drive costing ~1.2k, I can buy it now.

Suggestions welcome people.

Edit 2: Post updated on 9th of July, 2008. Bought a WesternDigital 750GB hard disk, a Logitech MX518, and the Dell SP2208WFP.

..of this new theme. It’s good, but the overdose of colour is getting on my nerves. Expect a change any time soon.

I’ve also taken up Preshit’s advice on keeping the site, the blog and the tumblelog all looking the same. That’ll take time though!

I wanted to make a surprise change, but I just CANNOT keep my anxiety controlled. So here’s a sneak preview:

Oh for the love of God, where had I been to!! Where had I dissappeared to all these days? Well, life has gotten miserable - and its just started.

Where do I begin..hmmm.. ah yes, studies - my 12th boards! Loads of time left for those dreaded boards and the infamous CET, but yes, they are coming up. Thanks to the way I was studying all these days, dad decided to cancel my internet connection - and hence, here I am using my mobile to surf the net and that too, only on Sundays.

But yes, there has been a bright side - I’ve got free internet on my mobile! I used NOP (Airtel’s smallest GPRS package) for a week or so and decided to deactivate it for a while. To my surprise (and happiness), it was still working despite the deactivation! So right now, its been more than a month that I’ve had this free internet (which means I’ve saved about 150 bucks a month!). sw33t

Well gotta run now.. cya

Have you ever been burdened to death by projects, deadlines and the likes ? Thats what has exactly happened to me. I’ve trapped myself in work. Unless you like reading rants, I suggest you skip this post.
