Some long time ago, my friend and I started on a journey for which we were excited as hell. The first few hours were dreamy real, with things suddenly turning out to be of magnificent proportions. I didn’t really realize what I was going for as I walked through the long long terminal at the Bangkok airport. All I knew was that life was about to change after we catch another long flight. And soon when the dreamy real world melted like ice cream candy revealing the stick inside, I was teaching myself the definition of struggle. The dream of being in a developed country with everything perfect (sort of) transformed into a battle of mind, body and the pocket. Days were spent looking through the real estate catalogs in search of a house good enough to fit us. Nights were spent in pursuit of a job to pay us. And the life continued. We got a house, each of us got a job for ourselves and things improved (sort of). But there was always a fight somewhere. Today the guy with who I started out the journey with finally got a resident status. For over two years that he studied, taught, tutored, drove, washed, studied and passed few exams, his efforts were finally redeemed today. So today when I go out, I will have a beer for him, and will raise a toast to his endurance. Cheers mate!

Finally after couple of protests, few thousand lost members and coverage on CNN, Facebook Privacy policy is back to where it was. Not that the earlier one was any good – but better than “Facebook owns all your data” statement.

WizMouse is a mouse enhancement utility that makes your mouse wheel work on the window currently under the mouse pointer, instead of the currently focused window. Have been looking for this from the day I moved to Windows full time from Mac.
