My New Sansa Clip 2GB
by SimKill on Feb.26, 2009, under General, Review
Just 2 days ago I got myself a Sansa Clip 2GB Digital Audio Player. Well, why just 2 gigs you might ask. The simple answer – that’s all I need. I don’t always need to always have all my music with me all the time. I’m more than satisfied with just a few favourites that I don’t mind listening to over and over again.
On to the device. The Clip is small. Seriously small. Think of a small device that fits your palm, and cut it by half. It’s that small. The pictures do it no justice. It’s that small. But it is packed with plenty of features. This isn’t a full fledged review, so I’ll just cover it in general. (continue reading…)

Crayon Physics – A game review
by SimKill on Feb.05, 2009, under Review
Hi, one of my friends just recommended a game to me. It’s called Crayon Physics. A small Indie game you can say.
Sounds boring? It is anything but that. The beauty in the game is that you “control” a lowly crayon(which is not all that lowly as you may think). You use the crayon to draw paths from one side to another. There is no concept of a “life”, so if your ball pops off the edge of the screen, it’ll just automatically spawn at the default position of that level. In the later levels, you draw hinges, levers and anything that you can think of in 2D. (continue reading…)
Customize your Vista Installation Part 1

With Microsoft Windows, reinstallation is a given. There may hardly be a few people who have not reinstalled a copy of windows ever in their life.
And they probably have the slowest and the most bloated system ever.
Over the course of time, plenty of temporary files, settings for older softwares that you have already uninstalled, non-unregistered registry keys remain.You could spend hours in the registry manually removing all entries. Or you could format your computer and set it up afresh.
Techfest 2009
by SimKill on Jan.28, 2009, under General
So I and a friend had gone to the ‘Techfest 2009′ at the IIT on the 26th.
What to say, we spent more time walking around the college than actually seeing events. The only one that we actually saw was the Robot Wars. Yes, only one decent event. We just saw the semi finals and the finals.
The main reason we had come there was to see the Microsoft Surface. Along with that, they were even demonstrating the ReacTable. The ReacTable was a pretty impressive demo with two people playing out instrumental music.
Hello World

Hello World.
This is arguably the most common sentence used by newbie programmers who make their foray into the computer programming world. Similarly, this is my first statement marking my entry into the ‘blogosphere’.
So,
“Hello World”
