Wow, its been so long since I blogged. And so much has happened meanwhile. Let me summarize (in no particular order):

• I finally built a successful Hackintosh. From wanting a real Mac to building my own Mac. Went through lot of troubled times but victory tastes sweet now. OS X just rocks. Can’t imagine going back to Windoze. All I need is to get Leopard working. Meanwhile also upgraded to a Core2Duo, P35 chipset based board and Viewsonic 2025wm LCD monitor. My computing experience is nirvana now. And oh yea, the computer gallops.
• Successfully WiFi-ed my  house. So let me just say that my computing experience is pure nirvana. All I need now is a Macbook Pro.
• Visited Silent Valley and Hampi. Both trips were extremely satisfying, soul-wise and photography-wise. Updated Pixelshooter.net with photos and travelogues. Now my website has significant content. That is satisfying too.
• Won a photography competition at work. Stood first in fact. Got a lousy gift (a magnetic dart game in which the darts don’t stick), but felt good nevertheless, thanks to all the visibility winning the competition gave me.
• Sold my Tamron 28-75mm and monopod and got a new 35mm f/2 and OC-E3 (Off camera shoe chord) as recent as yesterday. The 35mm f/2 is simply awesome.
• Repaid a huge portion of my credit card debit. But have an equal portion that I recently piled up.
• Planned to get a 40D but ditched the idea because of the above point.
• Crashed my (office) laptop’s hard disk. Dell replaced it within a day. Dell is good.
• Four months into my new  work and I really enjoying it. Looking back, I wonder if I made a mistake of sticking on to my earlier work place for4 years. But as they say, hindsight is always 20/20. Which reminds me…
• Changed my spectacles. My power has increased too. And the best part - I have Nikon lenses in front of my eyes now
