F.r.I.e.N.d.S.

I am specifically looking for 100 Mhz SD Ram. Where I can find those?

* Enquired at couple of shops at SP Road. No luck.
* Asked at Computer Ware house, if I could do pre-order with them. No help here too.

Anyone know of a skating rink near Cooke Town ?

(The one in Coles Park is apparently for children under 12 years.)

On the Paschim Express.

Among the many things recently that I've found very surprising, some real estate agents refuse to work with you (aka show their listings) if you indicate that you found their listing on Redfin. How self defeating can you get? There's a 3% of profit out there if you take the trouble to show homes to people who are interested in them. If you don't, someone will eat your lunch for you.

I sometimes wish I could post up a list of agents who gave me a tirade on why the Internet Is Bad for their business and how I'm a horrible person for using Redfin. For a moment, consider this: you are the seller and your (friend/buddy/colleague) tells you that your agent just spoke to a prospective buyer in that manner. What do you think is likely to happen? Do you really want to do that?

I'm thrilled with Redfin, I couldn't find a smarter, better and well thought out site. I'm also thrilled about the announcement that Redfin is profitable. I liked their seminars, they were clever and pointed out why working with them is good; but didn't act all clingy and creepy and force you to work with them. I think this techcrunch is dead on here, if I was in the traditional real estate industry, I'd be shuddering as well.

We're sorely missing this kind of weather... there was a bit last week but the past few months were way under average...

Here're a few more rain images...

Peace
ps  I didn't push any pixels around in this image... the rain and motion gave the effect produced.

From the New Indian Express, techies expressing their disappointment in Pranobda's budget - "...the budget failed to address their [s/w engineers] primary concern - to create jobs, like the increase in NREGS ... which will create direct jobs"

To which I say Bravo! We could recreate Windows, and then fill it in again. Idiots!

I can discern the underlying patterns from the swirling blue mists that surround us
And coalesce the Platonic ideas into droplets with the strength of inevitability
All I need to do stand my ground and wait for the Universe to burst forth from the bubble
Together we'll take care of everything

Because of the hot weather we've been having here in the Puget Sound latetly, I thought I'd post an image from Mount Rainier that I made at Reflection Lakes last autumn when clear cold nights allowed for some ice to start forming on the lake.  No bugs, very few people, and beautiful autumn color with frost each morning.
