Applied at the best RP server in India - <strong><a href="https://india.nopixel.net/upload/index.php">Nopixel India</a></strong> and finally got whitelisted today. Can't wait to get my introverted ass in.</p>

'NYX'fallhttps://www.techoholic.in/id/post/132/2021-03-19T14:02:34+05:302021-03-15T17:25:55+05:30Vikalphttp://www.techoholic.in<p>Recently my old laptop began to show its age, HDD was too slow, heating issues and other hardware faults. It was a Samsung NP550P5C-S02IN, which served me well for more than 8 years. So I started the hunt for its replacement.</p>
<p>As I had moved primarily to console gaming long ago, wasn't too keen on getting a gaming laptop, gaming ability was just an additional plus point. It was around that time when Sony announced the pre-orders for PlayStation 5 will begin(finally) in India on January 12th. Of course I had to get one, but given the measly supplies allotted for India, I knew it was going to be very hard.</p>
<p>And just as I thought, it was a bloodbath. Only a few lucky ones were able to place the pre-order and of course I couldn't. It was pure chaos. This triggered me so hard, I thought of going all in and get a beast machine once and for all, hence decided to go for a fully loaded desktop instead.</p>
<p>I got my first desktop in the year 2002 and have been using laptops after that. So being out of the game for so long, it was a bit challenging searching for parts and sourcing them but finally managed to get everything despite the global GPU shortages and ridiculous hardware prices.</p>
<p>Here are some of the pics taken amidst creation of <strong><em>The NYX</em></strong></p>

Hello Worldhttps://www.techoholic.in/id/post/130/2022-10-03T17:45:52+05:302021-03-12T23:19:06+05:30Vikalphttp://www.techoholic.in<p>Finally managed to dump the old data hosted at BlogSpirit in this new deployment of <a href="https://chyrplite.net/">Chyrp Lite</a> for nostalgia's sake. </p>
<p>Posts as old as 17 years ago are now live (cringe alert!) Many older links, images might not work.</p>
<p>Since my account at Blogspirit is long locked and the old Blog doesn't exist anymore, had to use <a href="http://web.archive.org/">Wayback Machine</a> to manually scan for each old snapshot and copy/paste the old posts and dump them in the database.</p>
<p>Things we do for backup. <span class="emoji">😀</span></p>
And we return again!https://www.techoholic.in/id/post/127/2013-02-05T20:42:00+05:302013-02-05T20:42:00+05:30Vikalphttp://www.techoholic.in<p>How is life everyone? Good to see it still has PageRank 2!</p>
