I had started downloading the "History of Doom" video last night at 2 AM and I was pleasantly surprised to see that the download completed properly through the night!  It had taken a little more than three hours (106 MB, the medium resolution DivX video), and I'd seen this when I got up a few minutes ago.  So right now I started downloading the PC Trailer for Doom 3, which is 39 MB in size.

Yesterday I had classes up to 6 PM, and after that class got over Ashwin and myself went to get the graphics card.  The Riva TNT2 wasn't there so I got an ATI Radeon 32 MB card instead.

Now comes the rare occurrences part: the chances of a new card not working are very rare, but that was what happened, because the card refused to work (even when it was tried on another computer).  Finally it was established that my AGP slot was faulty - which is also very rare!  The option left for me now, is to get a PCI graphics card, and hope that THAT works properly!  I will get this card tomorrow or the day after.  Until then, I can't use my computer!

Yesterday, Varun took part in the World Cyber Games 2004 at Hyderabad.  He played Unreal Tournament 2004 there, and it must have been an interesting experience though he told me it was nowhere near what we expected.

Oh and I also downloaded the Windows 98 version of Media Player Classic yesterday morning.  And now I am downloading the latest update ZIP file from Opulent's DSDA.
