an Innocent Life

well i’ve been putting off this for quite some time now and well today i decided that enough was enough. So some accounts had to go. These were of no particular use to me nor did i even visit them nor do they influence my online life in any way. Hence the few that i deleted had to go. About 6 so far. Well i wont be deleting my various email accounts because i use them as IM accounts bascially except for the Gmail one-thats the official one. Twitter will stay as will Orkut, Stumbleupon, Delicious and Facebook. if i do remember being part of anything else that account may be a risk. One of my backup gmail and orkut accounts did also get deleted

Deleting accounts was a bit tedious as i had to remember the password combinations on all the different accounts. somehow i remembered. one thing u do come across while doing so is that every service asks you why you are deleting the respective account before it allows you to go any further.

lets see..

Exams start on 24th my rants on them coming up.

I’m Calvin
The most lovable kid on the most lovable comic strip in the world - you are best known for your unsuccessful ‘dastardly plots’, your sense of humor and your extended vocabulary. Outgoing, rambunctious, unrestrained - there is a little bit of you in every one of us. “It’s a magical world, Hobbes… let’s go exploring.”

thats what the facebook app had to say about me Before you use it, i should warn you that it forces you to invite more friends ( about 20 over a period of 3 days)if you want to check the results. thats quite a spoilsport.

so here we are again. another study holidays. another boring set of days.

ok so here is one of things that got me interested. Comic Books. Yes, Comic Books. i’ve always been a fan of Comics; Marvel and DC. Xmen and alternate stories especially. Read quite a few and bought whenever i could. but the fact that comics are very rare to come by in India i had to be content with the books in the Local libraries. the only fault with that was that you couldnt get to read continuous series. ok so the other day when i visited Demonoid i came across torrent links for COMICS!! i didnt know there were people out there who actually scanned comics and put them on torrents. well being a customer of BSNL ’s HOME 250 plan i’ve never gone hunting for torrents if you think that i was ignorant or a noob or something. And so was completely surprised to find the torrents.

Ok so how do you read these comics?? they usually come in compressed formats: zip, rar, ace or tar archive file. i thought you needed to unzip those files and then somehow read them. well i dint have the time that day after i downloaded my first comic, DC Universe 0. after 2 days, during a casual conversation about loafing during study holidays , i came to know that my friend was reading Naruto Manga. thats how i came across “Cdisplay“, an awesome reader to read comics. It auto decompresses the files and allows you to read the comic. read more at the page.

ok so here’s to the future!! will be reading more soon. sent the files to a couple of friends to get me some more as i cant do it myself. something to wait for these hols. apart from more SouthPark Episodes

Currently very interested with Final Crisis-a new series on DC.

Thanks to: Sindhu for the Demonoid invitation code ( even though i hadnt asked )  and to Rahul for letting me know about Cdisplay.

Ignitte is finally up and running. its an idea of mine nutured by like minded people who wanted to raise and voices, stand up and be counted. College mates and friends who love to write and express themselves and some who dont, all brought together under this banner.

Change has to have a beginning. and i hope this is it
