New Year 2009 Resolutions
I’ve made just a few and simple resolutions for 2009
- Work hard and complete my Master Degree course .
- Break the ever famous P****.
- Do something creative.
Shitty resolutions? Hmm…well…that’s me 
Yesterday, I was browsing some of the websites that I usually visit once upon a time, and I found a very interesting article. Well, when you see “Google Earth” + “Tomb Raider” + “CHALLENGE” in an article’s title it does attract considerable amount of attention. Right?
What it’s about?
Atari has launched an online challenge in order to promote Lara Croft latest game, “Tomb Raider Underworld“. The most fascinating part of the online challenge is that it uses Google Earth Plugin to play the game.
How the game works?
Everyday, a clue is made available of the website of the game.
Something like this:
“A mysterious three, don’t get lost in the western sea“
You have to search the earth to find the location provided by the clue. If your guess is right and you zoom in sufficiently, you will see an orange Tomb Raider icon. If you see that, it means that you have solved the puzzle. Click on it, fill in the form and win a PS3. Simple!!!
Note: I’m not sure if this contest is worldwide or not. But it’s worth playing it either ways.
Enjoy the online game

At last, Mauritius Telecom realised that there was an error in my telephone bill. The funny thing is that MT has been making this error over and over for the past 9-10 months (ever since my subscription to ADSL 512). Anyway, this error is not something that i am angry about!!! But surely, I’m sad that they finally realised their error.
How? Why? Let me explain.
Initially, I have been using ADSL 128 for over a year and then switched to MyT 256 and again used it for over a year. Afterward, I started working and I thought that I could afford for a better internet connection. I emailed MT and made a request for ADSL 512 and the cancellation of my MyT 256. The cancellation effect was immediate. The next day, my current internet connection was cut off but with still no sign of MT sending their technicians to install my new ADSL 512. After a week, their technicians came without even phoning me to see if i’m available. Nevertheless, they left the modem+cd+login information on my request (mobile) but quite surprisingly, they did take away the MyT equipment( WI-FI, TNT decoder, LiveBox, etc).
OK, fine with me!!!
The most interesting thing is that, for the past 9-10 month of my ADSL 512 subscription, I have been paying the subscription fee of an ADSL 128 instead. Even though, i have contact MT twice regarding this matter, nothing happened. Actually, something did happened!!! They sent me a letter along with my telephone bill (May), stating that they made a mistake in the previous bill as such they have now waived off Rs1000 (line conversion fee). But still the bill contained a subscription fee for ADSL 128.
Saga is over now!!!
Now that they came to know about their mistake, I am actually thinking to switch back to MyT 256. The reason is simply because I won’t be in Mauritius for 2 years and paying for ADSL 512 will be futile since, my parents will be the only ones to use Internet.
So, thanks a lot MT.
By the way, i will receiving new equipments for my new MyT subscription. If anyone knows how to tweak the livebox IOS, feel free to tell me. I might be able to test it out on my old livebox
