Sometimes all you want in life is an ‘Unsee’ button you could hit, when ____ happens.

If there’s one thing Sam Worthington (‘Avatar’, ‘Terminator Salvation’, ‘Clash of the Titans’) is good at, its flying on things and hanging onto it for dear life. And the second thing is to look serious and emotion-less.

The decision to watch Clash of the Titans for the action is one of the worse mistakes I’ve made in recent times. Worse cause I decided to watch it in 3D without visiting the review places online, or even doing any sort of research. I watched it to celebrate the end of my under-graduate project period with friends. The 3D was something that’d be the talk of the town for a while, talks on how to raze such studios and pull a KKK on the employed people.

The movie had, like most others in its genre, americanized greek mythology. Usually that doesn’t affect the battle scenes, but it does here thanks to Sam. It’s always been one man when he’s in an action movie (of those I’ve watched), and so was in this.

Wish I watched something else that day. For score’s sake let it have a 1 out of how many ever sanity points you have.

Just discovered that the BSNL’s 3G service seems to be sharing IPs between different accounts or uses a common identification point of some sort (look, look, a network newbie! Is the word a gateway?).

Couldn’t download anything off rapidshare/megaupload during its night usage periods due to the same. Sigh, at least you people don’t know of certain other file sharing services. OTOH, still serving me good speeds.

Anyone know how to disable the auto-dns (usepeerdns) options of wvdial on ArchLinux?

My fixed-line broadband ISP BSNL has this new limited period offer where-in they offer doubled speeds for all existing and new customers of almost any plan of choice – Unlimited or Limited. Of course it comes with that famous death star symbol in its announcement (*).

The first is that the offer is valid only from April 1st to April 30th. The second is that you get half of the doubled speeds.
