All Wi Fi-red up

After years of deliberation, finally bought a DLink WiFi router and set it up at home. I was skeptical whether it would work with the ISP that I have, but after checking out the manuals, it did seem that it would work. It did not take much time to setup, though I had to perform some of the steps differently than as outlined in the manual. It worked on first attempt, but then I had some trouble (my folly) to get my Android work via the WiFi. In the process, I hosed the settings on the router, and was unable to do anything with it.

Finally, did a hard reset (pressing the Reset switch for 20 seconds), restored to factory settings, and then performed the setup again. Since then its working like a charm. Even the Android works well with it.

Now, consider this: 20 minutes into installing the new router, I had to go ahead and reset it. Wow! It might be the first time that I took down something new so quickly.

Hello Bengaluru, bye Bengaluru

Just  returned from an express trip to Bengaluru. Incidentally, though I  was born in Karnataka, it  was my first trip to the state capital. Landed there this Sunday, and returned the following day.

It was a good break from Mumbai, and I felt quite at home since it resembles my birth place of Dharwad. The same terrain, and trees, not to mention numerous anthills among the woods.
