Gave the SAT Subject Tests yesterday (Math Level 2 and Physics). Chose the other Delhi centre - St Michael’s Senior Secondary School (it’s right next to Springdales School, Pusa Road) - instead of the American Embassy School. The atmosphere’s better, because the invigilators don’t bark at you. That, and the fact that the dustbins there are penguin-shaped. Guess whom I met over there in the morning? Gothking, from CW! (He was there to give the SAT Reasoning Test.)

I hope the ‘curve’ is lenient this time during the evaluation. With this over, I can now ‘focus’ on the Pujo. And getting a new phone.

Totally insane and worthless, but hey, who’s complaining when there are nice pictures!

PS - Just a quick update, which doesn’t warrant a separate post. Recently, I replaced the default emoticon set with a new one. So if you’re still seeing the same old boring smilies / emoticons in the comment fields, then you may clear your cache and reload the page.

I hate Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04, so much so that I’m putting up with Vista. Recently, I got my hands on the 8.04.1 maintenance release ISO via the PC Quest subscription I won at Dynamix last year. Apparently, it’s supposed to have fixed a lot of bugs. I installed it, saw that none of the things I was pissed about were fixed, and promptly uninstalled it. Then, I got my hands on Linux Mint release 5 (codenamed ‘Elyssa’; it’s based on Hardy Heron, BTW) ISO through a friend of mine who subscribes to PC World - and installed that. I’ve installed Mint on school computers earlier too, and I liked its overall feel and openSuse GNOME menu rip-off. Agreed, it didn’t solve the accessibility features problem, but it’s more stable than Hardy - which is all I wanted. Plus it comes with much better artwork than Ubuntu’s various-shades-of-shit-colour wallpapers (I really wonder if people who call that shade of brown have gone bonkers). Elegance truly came from Freedom.
