This is me!

  Clawing my way back......

  It's been quite a while since my last blog post on GS.... Hell it's been quite a while since I sat down and went through the GS news and forums and the other stuff.... But here I am again.... trying to get back where I belonged!

  It's been pretty busy out here. I just started on my new job... a whole new experience... got my first really "big" paycheque (You know... this is the one that "matters")! And all this while, I got to understand how corporate life in the IT sector works.... It's not exactly a piece of cake!!

  As far as gaming goes...... duh! I don't even have my own rig here! All I've done over the past two months is play CS (bleeeeaagh!!), Virtua Tennis (#@$#@% controls) and a couple of flash games on my office system (a sad old Intel 845!!) in the late hours.... and that too just to keep myself where I really belong....

  Oh yeah.... It's been a rough 3-4 months or so.... but I'm well and truly back!! (At least while I'm writing this blog post!! )... And as soon as I get released from my current unit in mid Jan, I'll start saving up for a new comp... not just a run-of-the-mill, basic-performance-great-value system, but a monster (a budgeted monster, more likely!)... something in the vicinity of the newly launched Phenom, the AM2+ and afew gigs of RAM to boot.... and maybe an 8800 or two (okay.... this is where I got ahead of myself! ).... I've plenty of lost ground to cover!!!

  Cheers!!

  CATastrophe......

  Nope.... I'm not talking about another Tsunami hitting the subcontinent..... ..... That's something I'll never like to see repeated...... The CAT is approaching!!!!
  
  I don't know how many actually know about it.... CAT's the entrance examination for the IIMs (Indian Institute of Management). They're top notch B-Schools..... some of the best in the world.... And the entrance test is one of the toughest, given by more than 250,000 students.... competing for a mere 500 odd seats.... ..... You do the math!!!
  
  Anyways..... the paper's on 19th.... So I'll probably be a bit inactive around that period...... Hope I get through!!!
  
  Cheers!

  Been away for soooooooooooooo long :(

  Hey all!!

  I guess I owe an apology to everyone..... especially those at the RTS union.... I've been away for close to 2 months without explaination..... Well, I'd to leave for a rather sudden project work on behalf of my college. I had no time whatsoever to tell anyone (even mYTH had no idea for some time ) and now it's been almost 2 months without an internet connection for me. Whenevr I did get some time to access the net from a local cafe, I usually limited myself to checking my mails, just to save some time.....

  The absence has also brought about a delay in the next issue of the RTS newsletter. I've been away from the union too. I just hope that the activity's still going the way it was before.... (Any improvements are welcome, though!!! )

  I still have a week to go before I can return to my normal schedule.... but my presence shall still be limited to a few posts on and off..... I'll upload the next issue of the RTS Newsletter asap..... Till then,

  Cheers!!
