Shakti , age 1.5 , size 40gb , master volume and storage device of arun kedarinathan spun its disks one last time and gave up with a final wheeze at 10.11pm CST on June 29 2005.
Shakti is survived by a 2 month old 4gb ipod mini and a cheap free-after-rebate 128MB jump drive neither of which, while containing part of it's soul, can never replace it.its extra-brilliant owner who often refers to answers.com for word meanings, has now added one more word to his vocabulary.
backup
Additional resources or duplicate copies of data on different storage media for emergency purposes.
he plans to use this new word in many sentences in the near future or in just one sentence repeatedly viz. "i lost all my files because i didnt take a backup".
services will be performed on a future date. a fund has been established in shakti's name for the "purchase a new 200gb hard disk for arun kedarinathan" program. blogging will be suspended for a brief period, while this mac user works hard at re-acclimatizing with windows.(yeah its a bad excuse for not blogging..i've killed several windows machines as well, though its a comparatively easier task.)

nice comment catch. made me smile, as usual. damn! i needed that. i think the movie ur referring to maybe an amitabh one. just the visual of the constable saluting a phone...lol. take care.
When a "hard" disk crashes, it crashes hard. Maybe they should have named it "soft" disk and it would have been "soft" but flexible enough to give in to the vagaries of the other hardware, the OS, various software and a regular visitor called power surge :-)
hmm i'm not sure a power surge happens here often enough to cause hard disk failures,thennavan
either ways i dont really mind the crash..its part of life in this age and it gave me an easy way out to put up a post the past week
whats up with the changing photo on your profile man..do u have a random script that changes it automatically or a girlfriend who makes u do it manually?
So many blogs and only 10 numbers to rate them. I'll have to give you a 10 because you have done a good job. Great Job,
