Speed Rox!

There was something wrong with the proxy server for Tower 11 today. Internet, Webmail, Gateway ..... everything had been running excruciatingly slow since morning. So much so, that the downloading speed was showing as 20 bytes/sec & slowing ....! Couldn't download Jal's Wo Lamhe & Aadat all morning because of that. The ticker would get stuck at 2% after 10 minutes. Opening a new mail took all of 5 minutes!

Ultimately, just after lunch, a guy (probably from IMG) comes & asks us to stop all web apps. Went to the library. Returned at 4 to find everything fixed. First thing I did was to download the songs ..... took just 2 mins for both. Am listening to them as I write this.

The contrast between pre & post lunch couldn't have been starker. Yeah, it's true, I love speed .... & how.
