Their promotional ads might be tempting. But they do charge hidden disconnect fee of $39.99 if you cancel your service before 24 months of activation. I never realized it when I signed up for their Vonage service.Pravinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11400998669031942271noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6293747.post-8185194760305283972009-03-14T15:16:00.001-07:002009-03-14T15:18:55.219-07:00Superbrain yoga (thoppukaranam)Watch this videoPravinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11400998669031942271noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6293747.post-38229351341764189222007-06-23T21:35:00.000-07:002010-05-12T12:28:58.992-07:00Sky divingLong time, I was planning to do skydiving...Finally, I got a chance to do this weekend with my friends. We drove to skydiving place, which was 1.5 hours from seattle. Instructors explained us the steps to follow for 15 mins. There are basically three positions involved in skydiving. Starting position for the jump, another one for maintaining balance in free fall and third position for landing.WePravinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11400998669031942271noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6293747.post-75000601235231624842007-06-16T15:05:00.000-07:002008-01-02T00:19:24.268-08:00Racquet ballIn the last year after I moved to Seattle, I have started playing racquetball regularly. And we have ladder matches going on every two weeks where there is a ranking system in which you get to play a match against the player immediately above and below your rank. Your ranking gets adjusted accordingly by the results of last ladder round.Today, I had my ladder match.

After moving to Seattle, I wanted to move my dish network service from California. After a long wait, the day for my installation finally came. I had an appointment from 2-6 pm. God only knows why these people need a 4 hour window to set up installation. And if only they can call up 10 minutes before they arrive, it will be really helpful.

Using this box, I can record the programs and store it in hard disk. I thought with this facility, during playback I can skip the ads and cut down my TV viewing time. Instead, I started watching more and more as I see lot of recorded programs in my DVR every time I switch on the box.

Especially when the Australians went into defensive as the wickets kept falling, I wish we should have kept their tailenders at the crease till tea time.

Skype's call clarity is excellent. You need to have a computer at both ends to utilise this free service.
If you need to call the land line or mobile, they have a SkypeOut service. This is a paid service and they are reasonably priced. You can download the software from http://www.skype.com/

Here's the feed info http://myrss.com/f/b/l/blogspot7atsm02.rss.
There are some limitations with this feed. Update frequency is once per day. You might also have to bear with sponsor links.
I am planning to improve the feed in coming weeks.

BugMeNot.com helps to quickly bypass the login of web sites that require compulsory registration. Basically you get the username and password already available from a huge database. If you dont see the username/password info for a site, you can also add them to the database.

He also mentioned that Yuvraj being an exceptional talent waiting in the sidelines, the competition for opening spot is going to be tight. The press made his comment look like he is just against Ganguly's preference of Yuvraj.
