Fresh Water from Salt Water using new Membrane which can tolerate Chlorine. Pretty good to see Research going on in that area! So.. we _can_ still have fresh drinkable water even when we have *cough*polluted*cough* all our rivers.

Wheeeeeee!
I _know_ the post title is weird.. couldn’t think of anything else for the content that follows! 
Well, I finally managed to convince dad to fund (some of) my ‘To-Buy List‘.. Stuff I bought:
- DELL SP2208WFP 22″ LCD Display
- 2GB (1x2GB sticks) of DDR2-800 RAM
- 500GB Hard Drive
- Logitech MX518 Mouse
The display is quite good! Though it was BRIGHT (way too bright), I managed to correctly tweak it to suit my preference. (Had to use Adobe Gamma and ATI Catalyst Drivers to correctly set the Gamma and Brightness)
Hard Drive and RAM were much needed upgrades. Logitech MX518 intends to replace my dead ol’ MX700 Mouse.. The On-the-fly sensitivity adjustment really rocks! The mouse is smooth too (good feet). And new chair coming this week (*phew* No more RSI.. Yay!)
Sadly, My onboard graphics chip ATI x1250 is weak to run games at my new display’s native resolution. I managed to use Powerstrip to add a custom 6:10 resolution [1024x640]. (And NO, I _wont_ buy a Graphics Card)
Other than that, I was a little busy for a few weeks (some personal work, some work in uncle’s office). I also started going to Gym (friggin’ finally). I’ll start to work on _something_ for now.. and yeh, I let my LambdaSector domain names expire. I don’t think there is any use for them (read: I’m not interested in serious blogging).
*sigh*
[xubz]note: My B’day next week! Whoo Hooo! :-\
Edit: Almost forgot, Santosh too wrote his To-Buy List and bought some gadgets quite recently!
