mondo bongo

Another week has passed lazily. The room is still cluttered, wires are everywhere on the floor with one recently added extension type which I've been using for lamp since Tuesday. Computer, telephone, camera, lamp, clock, cable, internet, oh.. there are a lot of wires everywhere and I have to step upon them every time I move in my room. Today afternoon I sat down to "fix" the place - and found out that it is almost "un-fixable" until I am willing to remove some items. Means, there are only two sockets, 2 pin type. So, for 3-pin stuff like computer, I've been using an extension socket which runs from the door upto the table in another corner - passing across the entire floor. The other socket is on the right hand corner, partially blocked by a huge closet - which I dare not remove from its place; and I wonder why furniture always has to be so uncomfortable to deal with?

And the telephone, it has to be put on the side of the bed because there is no phone socket anywhere else. But if I had a longer wire, I would hook the phone in the socket next to my bed while keeping the telephone itself away, upon the computer table. Every time I think of shifting the telephone to the table, I remember that I have to buy a longer phone-wire, and in the next morning, things really go on without the longer phone wire. As a result, everything is quiety cluttering where everything has been, and this has been going on for months - me wanting to do some better change in the room every weekend. And one more thing, last Tuesday I listened to two beautiful songs in a long time - twist in my sobriety by Tanita Tikaram - at first I thought the vocal was of a male, but when I increased the volume to audible limits, it turned out to be a a rare female voice. Heard it top to bottom, liked the voice and the music, then did some search, to find this.

The other song was called Mondo Bongo. The beat was good, voice was appealing and only later did I find out that it was from Mr. & Mrs. Smith. While I was watching that movie some months ago, I had noticed a little part of a beautiful song when Pitt and Jolie were drinking and dancing near the starting - and at that moment I had promised myself to search for it but when I had gotten home, I forgot about it altogether. Now, while I was worrying about wires and whether I should change the position of furniture or not, then suddenly this months old stuff tried to re-entertain. Wow! Needless to say, I left the wires peacefully and then went on to download these two songs. Now it's been more than 48 hours and just today morning I changed the songs on my playlist. Otherwise these two were shouting from my speakers all the time, and I want to watch Mr. and Mrs. Smith once again while leaving the wires to arrange next week.

abort, retry, ignore poem

The infamous Abort, Retry, Ignore message box of Windows, with no option given to close it. Found this classic and fun poem about the "Abort, Retry, Ignore" message. I have been able to trace back the source to Annoyances.org. Here it is: Once upon a midnight dreary, fingers cramped and vision bleary, System manuals piled high and wasted paper on the floor, Longing for the warmth of bed sheets, still I sat there doing spreadsheets. Having reached the bottom line I took a floppy from the drawer, I then invoked the SAVE command and waited for the disk to store, Only this and nothing more. Deep into the monitor peering, long I sat there wond'ring, fearing,
 Doubting, while the disk kept churning, turning yet to churn some more.
 But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token.
 "Save!" I said, "You cursed mother! Save my data from before!"
 One thing did the phosphors answer, only this and nothing more,
 Just, "Abort

water out of thin air – star trek style

  An arid desert from where water is planned to be extracted (by porous means) from the atmosphere. This Jordanian startup has, it seems, finally come to the rescue of humanity. And it is straight to the point, too:  Producing Clean, Drinking Water from Desert Air .  Beyond doubt, it means that the magical-sounding system from this incredibly named company can produce water in the lush valleys of Nepal, too. Reason: if it can produce water from an arid desert, it can definitely produce water from climates less arid than a desert. So let me recount a story on why this machinery is suitable for Nepal along with the rest of the world. As everyone in the world knows, Nepal is a country full of all kinds of landscapes. There are forests, valleys, plateaus, almost-peninsulas, almost-islands, flatlands, badlands, grasslands, waterfalls, cliffs, mountains, canyons, gorges, caves, hills, and even a sea (albeit 500 km away). But no desert. No desert? How come? This question troubled some import
