I had installed Windows Live Writer (Offline blogging tool), when it was in its infancy, and it was pretty good – small, lightweight, fast etc. So I wanted to give it another shot. Live writer is now a fully blown MS software, which means, it is now officially, bloated, slow, and big. It takes 8 seconds to load up. It has to install Live Image Gallery, even if you uncheck it etc etc. So as usual, I was disgusted, and uninstalled it. And I happened to see the below snapshot, while uninstalling.
Uninstalling installer ! If there is one thing that MS still maintains, it is entertainment value (in how ridiculous it can get!) 😉
My father was the one who noticed that, I had not logically concluded my series of posts on the Madras Music Season, which I thoroughly enjoyed the whole of last week.
The last concert on the day that I left for Bangalore, was Sanjay Subramanyam, at Rama Bhaktha Jana Sabha (at PSBB schook KKNagar). My bus was at 11PM, and I was at the concert until 9:20PM. :=). So yes, I was listening to music until the last minute of my Chennai trip.
My comments on the Sanjay concert:
That ends my series of posts on the Madras Music Season 2009-2010. I had tons of fun. I hope reading these posts encourage/enthuse people to come to Chennai next year, and have the same feeling that I had this year.
Happy listening!
Another of those most ingenious inventions ever ! Have you ever needed a third hand, when you are holding a cell phone in your hand, and rummaging through your back pack for your keys, and also have a coffee cup in your hand. (I have similar situations at work. Laptop in hand, note book in the other, and a coffee cup balanced precariously while I try to open a conference room door!).
Why cant we just stick it on the nearest metal surface !! That would be very cool.
Check out how to do this here.

Totally unplanned concert. Today was supposed to be a day of rest for me. But then, amma realized that, Mambalam Sisters were singing in PSBB school (KK Nagar). Too close to miss. In a way, I think I am thankful that we did not miss it. Awesome concert.
PS: I leave back to Bangalore tomorrow late night 11PM Volvo – There is a decision that still needs to be taken for tomorrow – TVSankaranarayanan at Gorodia School (or) Sanjay Subramanyam at PSBB KKNagar school
OS Arun (stayed only for half concert). Concert was at Bharath Kalachar. Got very bad seats. The burnt oil smell (or should I say stink!) from the canteen wafted too strongly for comfort. Disgusting, and distracting.
Priya Sisters. Concert was at Parthasarathy swamy Sabha – Bheemasena Garden Street – off Luz.
From what I had heard, Ranjani/Gayathri were the best performers in the past few seasons (and this season as well). So the expectation was set high. Concert was at Rani Seethai Hall. Hall was packed.
Decided in the morning to attend Nityashree at Rani Seethai Hall. Concert was at 6:15PM. The previous concert was a free concert by an upcoming singer – Ravikiran. He was pretty good. Nityashree started the concert bang on time. Following are my observations:
