Ubuntu 7.04 Isn’t Feisty Fawn…

…It should be renamed Confused Traveler. I’d been among the first ones to order an Ubuntu 7.04 CD via its free media ShipIt program. That was in April. When I didn’t get it by the end of May, that too when all my other friends had got it within one week of their request put in May, I was perplexed. So at the end of May, I put another request for it. Three weeks up, and yet, no sign of the CD. That too when everyone else was getting it within 1-2 weeks of their request. Frankly, I was irritated.

I finally got my CD yesterday, and you know what? Instead of sending it to New Delhi, India, they’d sent it to Jakarta, Indonesia! Here’s an image of the envelope for you all to see…

Update: I’m NOT kidding. JUST when I’d hit the publish button for this, the postman came and handed me the Ubuntu CDs I’d requested for in April!

Now Showing…Ocean’s 40

The Ocean’s franchise is among the most popular and successful movie franchises. I like it mostly because of the fact that even without using too much special effects, they can pull off an amazing movie dripping with oodles of coolness. Of course, when they need to pay for so many stellar actors, I guess they’ve hardly any money left for special effects! But Soderbergh does pull it off, with jaw-dropping camera angles which nobody even would have thought of, and a storyline that keeps you guessing.

Ocean’s 13 was released recently, I thought I’d like to see it, but after the reviews came in, I changed my mind. None of them said it was bad…but the plot didn’t appeal to me. I’d rather watch something with totally unbelievable stunts and Bruce Willis, like Die Hard 4.0. Until then though, watch the trailer of Ocean’s 40 right here… 😉
