Th.oughts

Being the time of the year when finances have made a bad hit on me, life couldn't have been better without a credit card scam. Yes, you heard it right, finally I made the grand entry to the list of people who have been scammed. All the usual bragging about specializing in Computer Security was now worth two cents or may be less.

Orkut sucks! Once, an interesting social networking site that I have used often to reunite with old friends, it has become a haven for spammers and suckers that are eager to try out their idiotic javascript nuisances. Yes, I am talking about the scrapbook: once an interesting feature, it's now like a symlink to my mail spam folder. I mean, why on earth do they allow javascript in the scrapbook ? Can I disable it somehow ? Even if I can, why is it hidden somewhere in the depths of the Marina Trench because I simply can't FIND it! Hey,the scrapbook is meant to be used to drop off a small message to someone, right ? Why has it to do some javascript coolness or madness to be more precise. And you know what, that (madness) is absolutely ok with me. What's not ok is that with all the spam floating around in my spambook(Oh yes, I am fed up of deleting them), I miss out on the genuine get-in-touch and say-hi-how-are-you scraps that my friends send me once in while.

Orkut dev team ! I know you are a brilliant bunch of people out there. Please please do something about it. I really don't want to delete my account because it's the best address book I can ever have (had)!

UPDATE: Here's something which is a more serious concern: http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5gU98JC3pwFFdUMNRnqQ_CNA7u25g

Oh my gaawwwd! It's still there! I thought some crazy alien should have already hacked in by now! But I gave it a try and voila, I am in :)

So here I am in a Starbucks, somewhere in Manhattan at 3:50 am. Not that I am not smart enough to figure out where exactly I am; I just don't care enough presently to find that out. When the world has more reasons to suck besides her gravitational pull, the only option I was left with was to go on a trip :) That way,although my mind is thinking of something else, my body is pretending to do something else and it's a really good way of fooling yourself (that you don't give a damn)

Just a few days back I was complaining about life being unfair to me; Today, I still do it but there's a catch. Now it's unfair because one of my most dreamed of dreams came true!! Oh God! I am not used to this!! An internship opportunity with a company that runs on the same philosophy that has fascinated me since its inception. Nothing more to say except

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
