DotA @ over 37,000!!!
en route to my destination one friday in a kinda distant past, i was rather bored with the shows that were available on the rather tiny screen in a rather smallish A320 aircraft. the seating is cramped, as what is expected of economy class flights. and if you are claustrophobic, flying this way certainly is […]

“PROGRAM_NAME” Is Not Recognized As An Internal Or External Command, Operable Program Or Batch File

“Could not open a connection to your authentication agent” SSH-Add Error

It is also easier […]

Torchlight: How To Get Fullscreen On Ubuntu 12.04
The 6th installment of the very successful Humble Indie Bundle (HIB) includes the acclaimed Adventure RPG (ARPG) Torchlight. Released back in 2009, this is the first part of the franchise from Runic Games. This particular game (well actually it was Torchlight 2, the sequel) has caught my eye, and interest, for the past month since […]
Gone To Tristram. Will Be Back After Inferno.. .
Have not posted for a while on this blog here. Blame it on work where more than half the time I’m forced to use Windows because we’re using MS SQL on a project. I can’t complain though. I’m learning new things. Which can only be good, right? However the above is not entirely true. While […]
