Have spent the last two nights in college. Returned last morning at around 5.30am and this morning around 6.15am after working the night out on the new College website.
Things are going good, though we should have been complete by now. Ravi joined me in the quest.
Sat for two lectures today after almost two days gap; [...]

Have been waiting a good deal and definitely didn’t expect it to land here so early, but as I mentioned my laptop arrived yesterday.
And as I was really anxious to get started on it, I called up Dell and asked them to send an engineer over today itself.

As is normal of my internet connection, early Sunday morning the net went down. Decided to grab the opportunity to do what is much needed for computer health but I have neglected for a long time viz. defragmenting my harddrives.
Got down to doing that yesterday. Used SpeeDefrag to perform the defragmentation.

Seems like one crash followed the other.
