Radio Talk, Rod Monteiro’s ‘Good Service’ segment in Radio 91.3FM

I remembered going out for run few month ago always listening to my "favourite" radio station Class 95FM, well so as it was.

Gaming Workstation MIA, exams sighted, training behind

My primary workstation is down again, actually since early last week due to some operating system corruption, but didn't have the time to dismount the backup drives and put in another install of Windows XP yet, being neck deep in projects and papers.

Well usually I don't blog about small little lunch events, but considering that this is the first time my class of DME FT/3A/10 is getting together for an official class outing, why not?
