Alright here we are:

1. I am into my new job.
2. I've got my new pc (squarehead redeemed).

It was a bad sunday. For I was all set to do some re-configuration of my new box
on which I got linux working pretty fine (well with geForce drivers and all). I
woke up watching my fan stop. The power went out and did not come till like 9 in
the night. KPTCL (The power company) had some big power posts popping up near
me masion. This reminds me of what the H2G2 sez about planning out a recipe and
the shopping mall trolley deciding what you cook.

Well, I did not mention my playing Doom 3 shareware. Did I ? That is another
piece of droolware (well atleast for me). Its a neat piece with all those
nice depth they've given to the corridors and the detail on the characters.
Was wondering how they did the walls - could you do that with just anisotropic
filters ? or some kinda mock displacement trick whatever. But on the down side
space is never enough. The share ware levels (2-3 maps I guess) takes up like
700+MB ? and I was thinking 80G would be enough. Hmph. On linux I tried out
torcs and it ran at 120-160 FPS (which did not do as much as start on the
i845 at IBM). As for Flight gear (You might think I'd have tried that
first, eh?)
it ran at 45FPS + (was expecting 60+) but then I dont see those artifacts on
buildings and neither is a drop when I take off on KSFO (the default one).
