Google talks

Nicky told be about Google talk. Its shamefull, I know. A definitely non techie invites me to this service. Ah well its good she did. Its wonderful. Its light. The audio quality is so amazing. But how does it do audio through a (peered) proxy server, that too with high latency and low available bandwith?

Not blogging

Hey, I have not been blogging at all. Well I guess that doesnt really matter to any one else as I can think of just three people who read my blog. I have no internet at home as my subscription got over, and my new ISP has still not installed the connection. It does not really matter as my PC as gone totally dead. I have to wait to get a new one as the NForce 4 motherboard I want is not in stock till the 2nd of next month.
Why dont I blog from office? Well have been doing to many other things at office, dont really get time to blog. I shall try from tomorow however.
