What is masterGaurav doing these days?

Well, frankly speaking, as ever - I also don't know.

On the serious note, I am doing a lot of work. Besides working on my venture into education, I participated in SecurityShootout and got into the final round. So, I am "one of the top 100 most secure people in India", at least on Microsoft .Net platform.

Other than that, I thought about participating in Microsoft Office 2007 Beta evaluation. I have always loved experimented with non-stable products and somehow finding ways to crash them. Hoping that the tradition continues. Of course, network activities would be under heavy surveilence.

I have already converted my apartment a WiFi station. With 4 laptops and an O2 Xda on WiFi, I can just run around and still remain connected. Ok... there are two more desktops still on Cat5 cable: One on Windows - mainly running downloads at scheduled time and the other on Linux - LinServ - acting as the server to many applications, specifically SubVersion and my SFTP Repsitory Server.

A couple of months back I got a fresh 160GB hard-disk. Now, my next target is 1TB hard-disk or at least 500GB. Let me first fill up this hard disk. The immediate downloads are the Beta programs from Microsoft and Fedora Core 5.

Ok, I agree - I have been really late in downloading Fedora. Well, technically speaking -- a little lazy and a lot more busy . But enough is enough. In short duration from now, I should have Fedora Core 5 with me.

The last thing that I am doing is playing with Windows CE 5.0 and Windows Mobile 5.0 using Visual C++ and C# 2.0 (.Net Compact Framework). Luckily, I was able to download Visual Studio 2005 and all related items before my MSDN license expired .

And at the moment... listening to the "Taxi No 9211" song - "Meter Down".
