iphone 2.0 and airtel gprs

July 22nd, 2008

I upgraded to 2.0 yesterday, and the new update won’t let you set your APN etc. So the gprs for airtel won’t work. They have new system which based on profiles to manage all this.

I’ve modified a config profile, So here’s the work around, download this file and mail it to yourself. And via wifi download the mail and it’ll give you an option to install the configuration file and there you go… One you have installed, you have gprs on airtel.

2 recently discovered goodies…

June 28th, 2008

1. If you like music, and more so if you like the lesser known songs, grooveshark.com is a treat. Listen to any song for free and what’s more its got a kickass UI! I’ve found songs that I’ve not seen on iTunes store and others.

2. I usually don’t write about restaurants as I’m eating out most of the times. But then Cafe Masala is worth a big mention. Superb food, very refined taste, very good service. What’s more you can see the UB City and city in a non AC place. They have a kebab buffet for the next 9 days, 399+tax. Very nice kebabs, they even have 5 varieties for veggies, overwhelming variety. Overall a great place!

Polls

May 12th, 2008

Its a pity that Bangalore has just 44% turnout at the polls and then we crib about bad roads, bad that and this.

I know the usual argument of there’s no candidate righteous enough to vote, but I find this an excuse. Its better choose the lesser of the evils. Shame, real shame. I’ve heard of villages having 99% turnout. Wow! what an educated world.

PS: I did vote!
