That was an Interesting Weekend

Posted by Roopesh Sheth  Published in Friends, Toby, Travel, Wedding

This past weekend was Pooja and Rishi’s wedding and reception.  I have known Pooja since she was born.  There was no way we weren’t going to the reception.  The timing was going to be difficult, though.  With the reception starting at 6:30PM near LAX, we had to leave around 4:00PM (Neela wanted my mom’s help [...]

Came to a Decision

Posted by Roopesh Sheth  Published in Abbey Carpet Corner

I decided I don’t have the time to fight the legal battle with Abbey Carpet Corner. I know I’m legally OK, but just don’t have the time to deal with the hassles. If anyone else wants to take over the site, let me know.

Now they want to sue me

Posted by Roopesh Sheth  Published in Abbey Carpet Corner

After refunding me, Abbey Carpet Corner is threatening to sue me.  They’re saying I cost them business… isn’t that what all bad reviews do?  Isn’t that even the point of a bad review?  I know they’re trying to bully me, but Neela is freaking out.

Been geekily busy this weekend

Posted by Roopesh Sheth  Published in Crossover, Linux, Ubuntu

I discovered on Thursday or Friday that I was using the non-smp capable version of my kernel.  Having a dual-core machine, that meant I was basically wasting half the processing power available to me (which I still probably never used).  I did have the right kernel installed, but it wasn’t booting that kernel by default.  [...]

A refund, eh?

Posted by Roopesh Sheth  Published in Abbey Carpet Corner

After emailing me on March 28th, and not responding to my response, Seth Bogart of Abbey Carpet Corner left a voicemail for me today saying that he wants to process my refund now. I called back but “just missed him”.
Should be an interesting interaction if this happens.
What do you think?
