Hello!

Its Spring time here in Houston, and I am back after a long silence :).. Its almost more than two months since i ‘wrote’ a post I guess.

Well, the last couple of months have been pretty hectic on the work front. Things are settling down slowly. (I think! & hope). Lets see. Fingers crossed. … Hopefully, you should soon see some regular posts back on this blog!

Well, nothing much has changed over the past few months, pretty much the same work schedule. No major travels…except that we had been on a 4 day road trip to Fredericksburg (Texas) & Dallas back in December ‘06 during the Christmas holidays. . so I have a lots of posts/pics that have been backlogged (including the Las Vegas trip snaps!). I hope i would be able to clear all the backlogs soon :)

Well, having said above, I must tell you all that I am not totally off the internet :) I am very much connected. Thanks to Google Reader, I am still actively tracking all the blogs that I used to read and follow (and a lot more!). Also, Google Reader is my primary feed reader now!. Bloglines is out for me! And Google Reader gets better by the day! The only thing that I would like to see on Google Reader is a search feature to search contents my subscribed feeds (or starred/shared posts). Surprising that a ’search’ powerhouse like Google doesn’t offer ’search’ feature natively! (160GB Seagate Portable Hard drive (USB powered) - got it from newegg.com
2. 750GB Seagate External Drive (USB 2.0 + FireWire + external power) - (Just ordered - yet to arrive!)
3. Canon Digital Rebel XTi -400D (Sold my old Canon Digital Rebel 300D on eBay!)
4. EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Telephoto Zoom (Sold my old 75-300mm lens on eBay)
5. 3 GB of CF cards (2 GB - Sandisk Ultra II & 1 GB - Lexar Platinum)
6. Garmin Nuvi 360 - GPS - Use this a lot. In fact we were totally dependent on this on our last road trips!

Well, I must say that I got pretty good deals on all of the gadgets! But the sad part is, I haven’t had lot of time to play around with most of the above gadgets :(

Well, next post coming up soon!

Its gonna be hectic 2 weeks!

The next two weeks are kind of going to be very hectic. My wife, would be travelling to US of A again. This would be her second work assignment in US. She would be traveling to Houston, TX. So, lot of things to do. Starting for finding accomodation to buying and packing stuff. This time we are a bit relaxed since its her second trip, and her travel itineary is almost the same as the previous one. (except for the final destination - which was Norcross, Atlanta, GA last time)

In the mean time, our entire family has planned to go to Tirupati this saturday to visit Sri Venkateswara Temple. We should be back by Monday end of the day. Lot of people would be around, so I think it wont be a boring trip.

And then the following week, I would have to travel to Chennai on official work!. So, lot of running around for the next two weeks.

In office too, some new and intresting work as come up. Getting a chance to work on a software called eRoom and Sharepoint Portal Server 2003 ( or Windows Sharepoint Portal Services on Windows Server 2003). But most of the folks at office are on vacation since its festive season here in India. Specially people who leave quite far from home are on leave. So, office is kind-of half empty. But no major impact on work/projects.
