A trivial update of personal events

I haven't touched this site for ages. First, a few updates from my personal life:
- I have joined twitter. It is fun, but not yet convinced about the usecases people cite for this site.
- I have enrolled for an online DVD rental service in India called BigFlix. The site has pretty decent English movies collection for India, but not as much as the American biggie Netflix. Have enjoyed a dozen movies so far. Did not find delivery service very fast and the subscription is expensive for Indian standards (Rs. 299 or about USD 7 a month for renting one DVD at a time. A cable TV subscription costs about Rs. 250 or USD 6 a month in metros).
- I purchased a Sony Handycam, but no use for it so far, as there is not much travel.
