I'm slacking

SOS
Yes! I think I'm losing control over myself. I sleep at 2 or 3AM, wake up at 10 or 11AM. All day seems dull and I always have a feeling of being tired. By the time I feel better, its already evening/night. I've tried coffee, and pepsi in vain. The boring dull rainy weather or the electric company isn't doing any good either.
With productivity dropping to a pretty low level of late, I seem to be failing myself.

Anyone have some suggestions on improving my situation?

On another note, Morten got me a new spare keyboard for the time being. So all my 1337ness is gone :-| RIP Samsung 4500p. You will always remain in my heart.

the b0rked keyboard

Yesterday was a rea11y fucked up day.
First, my water bott1e fa11s and spi11s water a11 over the kbd. (Yeah.. among many, the char between k and ; is not working). Many keys dont work. Some need to be s1apped to work, and some need to be hammered to work. I know thats bad.. I a1so know that i shou1dnt drink water near comp :|
This is just the traier. The rea1 fi1m is coming up.
consequences! consequences! consequences! ...
I was c1eaning up stuff on maito`s comp. and it a11 happened in \etc (yeah.. forward s1ash stopped working overnight). I typed an rm *~ in that fo1der.. but NO.. ~ is a key that needs a hammer job to be pressed. Ofcourse i rea1ised it only after typing and hitting the return key. Damn these stupid fast computers with fast harddisks! (1ets b1ame techno1ogy a bit.. i fee1 bad taking a11 the b1ame). Yes everything was gone in an instant. Spent hours reinsta11ing packages (yes.. with the same keyboard.. you can imagine how it fee1s to type `ls`) and fixing config fi1es. And dear maito was doing his best to keep ca1m. After hours of toi1, it was done. We rebooted and everything was back to 1ife.

So, thanks maito for your patience and be1ief in me.

Resu1t of the scary adventure:
I so1emn1y swear never to drink anything near the computer again.

I`m off now, most1y with Morten hunting for a good keyboard to suceed the throne of the now borked Samsung SDM 4500P (i`11 a1ways 1ove you dear!)

PS: With this borked kbd came a 1itt1e 1337ness. ;)

BOSE rocks

The title must be sufficient to express my thoughts about BOSE. Morten and I went to the BOSE Store on M.G.Road. I was just stunned at the quality of sound those tiny speakers produce! Ofcourse it costs a lot, but its worth every single penny. Morten bought a Bose TriPort headphone for his bro. May be I too will get it.. some day.. if I ever make that much money :/
