The tablet PC is on its way!

Before ordering my tablet on Saturday I read online that previously Lenovo had delayed other people’s orders, sometimes on the day that the tablets were supposed to ship. I was a little disappointment to read this but I still went ahead and placed my order. Knowing about the delays and an expected shipment date of 2nd April, I was expecting the tablet to arrive somewhere around the 12th of April, but guess what? Today I received an e-mail saying that the tablet was shipped today!! This is awesome!! Lenovo will be putting up the shipping number tomorrow so that’s when the real countdown will start. I went for UPS ground shipping since I was thinking that I would have to wait for almost half a month anyways, but now I can’t wait! 🙂

Thank you, come again

OS X

About two months ago a friend insisted that I should seriously think about switching to a Mac. OS X is especially of interest to me because I have been into Linux for a few years now, mostly using it as a learning platform, and, given the Unix core, OS X becomes a very nice alternative. There are several things that have kept me from moving to Linux, including (please read the complete post before adding comments) the hit-or-miss upgrades, missing or little support of some hardware, not so great support for Windows based applications (like I said, read the whole post first :)), and the fact that my main jobs have revolved around Windows development. Mac, on the other hand, overcomes many of these issues (VMWare Fusion looks awesome).

With my recent involvement in web development, starting out with Ruby on Rails and then settling on django, I have realized that I now have many more choices of operating systems than I did before. This is especially true since my editor of choice is vim, which is supported on most of the platforms, and I generally do most of my development on a server running ArchLinux. So, here are my thoughts after two months of honest exploration, even going to the extreme of asking a friend running Hackintosh to lend me his computer (in exchange for the tablet :)).

How to Fix Slow Browsing Speeds in Windows Vista

I recently purchased the HP Verve for my dad. This laptop comes with Windows Vista and has great specs but somehow the internet was performing worst than my older Windows XP notebook. So, I went on a search for a solution to the problem and after some time found the solution buried in a forum post. I have expanded on that post and documented it in this article.
