Okay!... sounds good. The list contains definitely contains some of the things I've tried/done a little for leisure in the past. Its way hardcore that what I'm doing now to make a living. But wait, here's the catch - the pay sucks!. The company is offering me something which is like 50% less than what i get now :-P. I would have settled for the same pay or something slightly lesser than my current pay for the job. I still can't understand why folks in the IT service companies get paid so much when compared to core technology companies where core technical skills are not given "much" emphasis.

Bought a psp

ugh!

Ever since I lost my good old buddy "the ngage" to gravity last year , I wanted to get something to satisfy my cravings as a gamer. I never really considered buying a psp till last month when i happened to see the God Of War PSP video on youtube. It was amazing, definitely something you don't get to see on a hand held gaming device (till recently). Found this shop in Coimbatore selling a second hand psp for 8500 Rs. It came with a 2 gig card as well. It was a pretty good deal as the psp was in 'mint' condition. An another reason why I didn't go for a new one was that there are already rumors of psp2 coming out later this year (as seen on gizmodo) . Maybe I'll buy the new bitch too...
