My mobile phone; past, present & future

First mobile with a little antenna was a Motorola (well I do not remember the model name), then a Moto C330, SE T110, now a Phillips Fisio 860, for over 3 years now.

Now the market is full of models A-Z, how do I go about one?

Here are some points which will decide my next phone, but I don’t know when After seeing it all, I got a feeling to wait for the next one

I like my next phone to have ….

Media conversion in Linux: Using mencoder/ffmpeg/transcode and other media related scripts

Fedora doesn’t provide any ready to use media player or converted. But installing mplayer and xmms will fill that gap.
Here I will blog some scripts that eased my Any to XVid conversion and other media related stuff

Buying my new car: How did I compare the B segment options?

  Though Indica falls well into B+ super mini segment with Getz & Swift, I will prefer to keep Indica between B and B+ segment, so compare it as you wish I am leaving out Getz, Swift for cost and Palio for lack of support.

Cooking (and me?)

Hahaha out of question? No I can survive

I love cooking, but after eating

More about it later

My envy is finally mine; Onida TV

Few months back, I went in for the Dish-TV DTH service. But with the 14″ Onida little one, there was no real big fun. So we decided to go in for a big screen

21″ was something that I see from my childhood, so decided to go in for a 29″. LCD/Plasma was out of reach, Dehradun had limited choices, so I did my research and selected Onida.

Best thing I liked about Onida’s Oxygen Thunder was the solid feel, look, best of all the Music mode. More over it came with a solid TV stand, which made a power dressing for our visiting room
