Orbitz thinks I'm gay!


Have you ever watched this episode of "King of Queens" where TiVo thinks the guy is gay and records such programs? Now real life meets SitCom. Orbitz thinks I am gay. I thought my colleague photoshopped when he sent me a screen-shot of Orbitz displaying him "All Gay Vacations" with a link to Orbitz's Gay Travel Section!!! My friend's destination was MCO. That didn't work for me. So I tried SFO!

Pretty soon Orbitz site will have a R rating. Anyway - your assignment for this weekend is - find all the gay destinations in the world!

Solar system downsized!

Solar system is catching on the need to compete by slimming down the organization. The board of Solar System Inc has announced that they are letting go one of their personnel of planetary proportions! According to this new Sarbanes Oxley, Pluto did not conform his path and neighborhood to the regulation(new I may add). And lost his planethood. So head on over to this site and enjoy his status till BBC conforms to the new board! Oh boy, he did have a wacky orbit.

But worry no more. Help is on the way. The board is interviewing a few candidates and we might have a bloated company pretty soon. Possibly as many as 12 planets! Yeah!!

Mutating Windows!

Please don't bother updating your windows. It will do it itself. Now the thing is mutated to a stage where you can not update it manually. These are the steps I had to go thru today.

1. Noticed that my XP setup asked me to reboot as it installed an update.
2. When I restarted, I did a Microsoft update. It came up with a big list.(Wait - didn't they roll out, like 30 updates, yesterday?). I opted for download and install.
3. It downloaded all but installation failed.
4. It said another install is in progress(WTF)
5. After a while the dreaded yellow shield appeared in the tray thingy and prompted for express install. I said yes(do I have a choice at this stage?)
6. It started installing.
7. Rebooted and all is well(till tomorrow I think)

The same thing happened in another XP installation(from step 2 onwards). May be this is the right time to pass a law barring Microsoft from getting into genetic engineering. Hope it's not too late!
