I finally receive the Inviter wave from Google in my wave inbox, after me being on Wave since October 15 (past 2 weeks).

Google Wave invites

Since I’ve got a generous 20 invites to spare for all of my dear tweeps & other good friends anxious to try out the new craze, I thought it best to manage a blog entry to list out confirmed invitations & for others to request one from me.

I’m keeping one invite reserved for me, so as to get more invites to share further.

Please comment back on the entry if you wish to request an invite if there is a free slot available in the list below. Please also note that invitations are not sent instantly, it may take upto 2-4 days for it to arrive in your Inbox.

For those already on Google Wave, you may add me ‘nishmudkip@googlewave.com’.

Well I’m a Facebook obsessed person as most of my friends already are aware of, and since I Eat, Live and Sl.. no wait I don’t sleep, Facebook, I quickly realize every minor new aesthetic changes or temporary buggy downtimes that occur on the website. Here’s a few shots I’ve taken over time to display some of the broken elements of Facebook I’ve come across through my addicted experience.

PS: This is in turn only for viewing pleasure of fellow Facebook addicts.

Events that trigger Windows Activation nag

So I just discovered one of the events that compels Windows to start nagging you with the Windows Activation nag dialog box (in case you haven’t done so). While normally it does so at every boot, and during intervals I believe, it is also programmed to nag you at every New Device Driver installation.

I came across a series of nag pop-ups today, which was quite unusual as they kept coming one after the other every few seconds. I then realised my mobile phone was installing some drivers, and upon every installation success, it displayed the Activation reminder.

EDIT: Ok it just struck me it displays so because the ‘Optional update delivery’ in Windows Update is disabled due to non-activation. And because Windows searches for drivers using the Optional Updates, it triggers the nag.

P.S.: I do have a Windows 7 Genuine License. I’ve just been lazy to activate it 🙂
