I have stopped piracy since its not allowed in Islam (according to several people including an Alama). Although I am not completely satisfied with their saying since they didn't cover all aspects but I guess its better to not do it. There are alternates available, except for Windows, which I'll have to buy.

Also, this opened up recently: Indie Game Journal

And I kind of like this one. But may not keep it for too long, going to make my own after these papers.

The changes mentioned earlier have been done.
Hoping to keep the new theme.

This blog is undergoing some changes, so you may notice some odd behaviour for a while.

Papers are coming in about 3 weeks now. So, its mostly sitting at home, studying or doing something on the PC or talking to friends over SMS (sometimes also Facebook).

I re-created my Second Life account. Actually, created a new one, again.
Have made a new, simpler, easier to make and manage design for my website (which has been neglected for quite some time now). It will be getting some additional features (actually just more space and mySQL) since my original hosting plan will be expiring soon and the old package has been abandoned by the hosting company to introduce different ones (all if which are more expensive).

Hoping to do good in papers (although not preparing that well) and get internship somewhere, hopefully, Fergusons (PWC) or Ford Rhodes (Ernest & Young). Or maybe in KPMG or Delloits (wrong spelling?).

The new PC is going along very well, thanks to Allah. Hoping it shall pass the test of time (and my brother and my abusive use) and the continuous load-shedding (I wish I had a UPS for the PC).

My mobile received two scratches on its battery cover, thanks to the keys I put in the same pocket as the mobile. Oh, well, I am not planning to resell it anyway. Although I could do with one with Wi-Fi, since the wireless router really helps in using internet over mobile devices, not that its required but its better to have it than not have it.

May Allah bring happiness to everyone's life.

Last Sunday (which may appear to be an odd day for the purpose), my school/college/university life ended. And, InshaAllah, I shall be starting my internship in about 2 months from now.
Papers are coming in 1 month and I am not studying as much as I should at this point.
May Allah help me.

A TV just got added to the new computer, its a Sony Bravia KLV series 32" LCD TV.
Now I've got one HDMI display (the TV) and one serial display (the old Philips 17" monitor).
With the ATI HD 4870, which supports two monitors at once, I can use these two displays as dual monitors.
Main things on the TV, toolbars, sidebar gadgets and small applications on the monitor.
Games display better in the TV too.

Its really great!

However yesterday went in worry about a friend. So all happiness of this upgrade was lost.
Please everyone pray for this friend of mine.

Papers are near so I am able to give less time to things other than study.
That's why not posting much these days.

Like many other times, I made my own lunch today!
Don't know why but food tastes better when made by myself.
