The Ghost In My Computer

Yesterday my computer had gone totally weird. May be it was protesting for a weekend leave as I have been overusing it for quite sometime now. I have no idea what made it deport in such unearthly manner but it was a real terrifying experience. Well, a lot of people with eccentric tech know how must be visiting my blog and may be they’ll be able to explicate the matter.

It must be some 9:00 a.m. in the morning that I logged into Yahoo Messenger and started a conference as usual. It was after sometime that I found out a lot of buttons in my keyboard weren’t working. I had a bad time in the conference and I almost considered buying a new keyboard. Now again there were uncanny combination of keys that weren’t working i.e. keys on the extreme left and on the extreme light :|. I was like really fuddled with it and left my computer for some 3-4 hours. It was when I sat on the comp with almost no hope I found out that all the keys were working perfectly. Eldritch, ain’t it ?

I hadnt gotten over this experience that my Samsung Optical Mouse started givin me shocks :o. I had been chatting on the net for the whole day and suddenly out of nowhere this mouse gives me shocks. This was when I thought am I inebriated?

The only possible logic that I could concoct from the two situations was that possibly my peripherals were in the vicinity of water. It could be only water which could make the keyboard stop working and when it dried the key board must have come to life. Also, the water must have conducted current from the internals of mouse . But I can ascertain you that I don’t let water or any other liquid reach near my computer table. Nor am I careless enough to operate the mouse with wet hands. Dude, I smell rats :P.

Wait, this wasn’t all I had to take. It was at around 11:00 p.m. when my monitor started to go shades of green. No, it wasn’t that greenish effects made by speakers or any magnetic field near the monitor. The whole monitor displaying area went uniformly greena and the screen was flickering a bit.

This green monitor syndrome is till stuck with my computer while my mouse and keyboard are working just fine. Now, I was just wondering if any levelheaded and well-informed person can explain me the possible scientific or acceptable reasoning regarding this. My computer is dearest to me and I literally go nostalgic when I have to stay away from it for a long time :)). I just hope there isn’t mephistophelean soul trying to overpower me by exploiting my weakness for my ‘compy’ :P

W00t!! A New Domain And A Few Rules

Okay! I know you know that my previous post is a copy/paste from the other temporary blog and my friends would have definitely bolted me down if I hadn’t written this post soon :|.

Anyways, I bought (well, that would be an euphemism for stolen ;) ) this new domain for my blog finally and I am pretty pleased on the idea of owning a domain. Also, I got hold of an exceptionally good package of web-hosting from www.itauro.com (don’t ask me how ;) ). Then, I also got hold of this theme which I found really clean and easy on eyes. So its party time <:-P.

Now for some rules in my blog *-:). Yeah, I know half of you people are gonna think thats a totally dumb idea and the other half will think I am an immature kiddo. Well, all I gotta say is I don’t care.

Firstly, profanities. Yeah, I guess all of you are aware of how much I love to abuse :x. So, an asshole in my blog will be an asshole and not an a****** :|. Damn, only yesterday did I give the link to my dad and I just hope this is not my last post or I am not grounded for the next few years :-S.

Secondly, I think I should make it clear that it is not a TECH blog. Yeah, it is my personal blog where you won’t be expecting tech stuffs and reviews so people those who browse blogs for the very purpose can stay away. No, I am not saying that I would strictly refrain from posting such stuffs but that wouldn’t be often.

Lastly, since my exams are close don’t expect me to blog regularly.

So, all I gotta say is my blog is live now and don’t expect it to go down anymore. Keep coming back and you can comment down there if you feel like reciprocating :-h.

My Blog Is Back

Yeah, it is up and running again. But I have lost all my previous posts. Stupid me and my computer. Firstly I resorted to an unreliable host which used to provide me a hosting for spamming their forums =)). Then I ignored the two mail warnings they sent about my account gonna be removed for the inactivity in their forums. Then I took the back-up in the root drive :| . Yeah, I need to keep formatting my root drive because I keep messing up my OS. Okay, there is no use crying over spilt milk and whining on my blog won’t earn me good reps either. Wait, didn’t I start a blog for the very purpose :-? . Anyway, I am haapy that I got hold of a wordpress.com invite and my blog is up and running again. This wordpress.com service isn’t great either. There is almost no customization and extra skins can’t be added either. But the default skins were pretty good and co-incidentally I found my previous skin in the provided ones. Secondly, with my boards up in the next few months I obviously can’t waste my time searching for a host and installing mods on my blog :P .

I don’t think I’ll be much active from now on as my Half Yearly exams went real bad and I don’t wanna screw up the pre-boards. So guys bear with my slow and reaer postings which can go as far as once in 10-12 days.
