I just got a Yahoo! 360 invite... So if anyone of you need one leave a comment...

I bought a Powershot S1 IS last may for abt $430 US. The price has now fallen to $350 US... grrr...

I bought an Apple iPod 20 Gig for 299 USD. now nto only the price has dropped by some 15 USD but also the iPod 40 Gig price had fallen till a few days ago. (now it's back up to 399 SUD). I think Amazon realised that the Accessories included with this obsolete model makes it a good buy. The amusing part is that iPod Photo 40 Gig at 360 USSD is actually cheaper than the regular iPod 40 Gig . This model is also obsolete but includes all the necessary accesories... Docks Connectors etc. The best part of all... the iPod Photo 30 Gig at 330 USD is only $30 less than the iPod Photo 40 Gig which includes the accesories not present in the 30 GB model... The bottom line... I wish I had waited...

I didn't even realise it and it's the fifth anniversary of my blog... I'm seriously impressed... Even though there were some largish gaps in between... Marlinspike - Knot Untangler: March 2000

Just four days ago I was wondering a way to convert large text files into small bite sized pieces that would fit onthe iPod. I was planning to dig in to my (rusty) programming skills to whip up something like that. But Now I found iPod eBooks Creator . Problem solved...

I have a new URL which goes as http://patnaiks.in/chirag . I'd recently bought a domain on the newly opened India registry. It also means a new email address which goes as chirag@patnaiks... and for my brother and so on and so forth...

I finally got my iPod yesterday after nearly a month of waiting. the iPod made a journey halway across the world from America to Delhi via Bombay. It's a monochrome 20G version and I've already stuffed half of it with music...

I get my iPod today in under 12 hours. I sure am excited...
