AirTel Network Sucks !!!

Since today morning the calls has been wrongly routed to different numbers and people are getting connected to unknown people accidently. Even calling to a landline number is a problem and goes criss cross. To call a friend on the next street, I have to use skype to call to his landline to get connected. Don’t make calls from Airtel for some time till the issue is fixed. I tried calling the AirTel Customer Care and it lands on to a Vodafone number. I am not sure where the problem exactly lies.

Rapid Share and Audio Books!!!

Rapidshare is a site that hosts files that can be shared with different people. The site has a number of audio books hosted on to it. I was trying to download a couple of them. I was a trial user. The captcha of Rapid share is so troublesome that we need to identify unidentifiable cats hidden inside the captcha.

The image “http://www.labnol.org/wp/images/2008/04/rapidshare-captcha-cats.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

Today morning I was amazed to see that the captcha does not show up and rapid share seems to have some thing called happy hours where they are not showing captcha. But the other norms like long waiting hours before your IP gets allotted download thread seems to be there on subsequent downloads.

Fuel Stations in Chennai

A couple of days back, I went to one of the Fuel Station to get a little of petrol in a bottle for filling in my Bike. The bunk was one of the famous once in Chennai. The particular booth had around 4 pumps for petrol. A row of bikes were standing in one of the pump for filling. I went there and I was directed to the other set of pumps. When the person at the one of the pumps, the person at the other end instructed him to fill it from the alternative pump. I got the 1 litre of petrol - 30 ml [approx.] in my can.

I was wondering if the pump which seemed to have the best measure has 30 ml less, what about the rest of the pumps and the fate of the people visiting those stations.

Also we have visited Stations that can fill 40 litre in a 37 litre tank of Car which already had a couple of litres of diesel. What an excellent business…

Be selective on your booths.

Thanks,
Ranjith
