Cant hold on more..

After a long struggle, I managed not to drink, untill today. That was one amoung my new year resolutions. I decided not to smoke and not to drink, not even beer. Decision on smoking went in smoke in a few hours after entering the new year, but I managed to hold myself from drinking up till the 5th day, but today I guess I will get some beer home and watch a movie as I am missing the habbits. Things I am yet to do are invest some amount from my salary in the Mutual funds and other savings, spend less time for the counter strike (4 those who dont understand counter strike), learn Python! and some more were there, which I kinda forgot. All of us want to be better people and do better things. So we decide, we will do all good, no bad. But how much we succeed in what we have planed for us ? I am not ashamed of myself that I cannot keep up with my decisions, because I know I am not alone in this. But I will still fight for my good, with each mug of beer I gulp down I will curse myself for doing that and soon I will find its no phun drinking beer. If not the will power, wills is there :)

IE and MS Word doesn't go well ?

I had this strange complaint today from a user, saying she cannot copy & paste some text from her yahoo mail to the outlook express. If she does, it hangs the app for some time and then give a crash report saying, word application has crashed. When I heard this I was thinking what the hell, M$ products itself doesn't go well togather ? Alas its M$; anything is possible. I went to check this strange behaviour's cause, and I found that there is no problem when I do the same from a firefox browser. Searching further in the net I found this article in the "Yahoo Answers". I could have told her to use firefox, but she was much of a M$ fan and hence I thought I will update to IE7 which eventually solved the problem. Dont you think its weird, that it maybe some html code underlying while you copy from the yahoo mail opened in IE6 which is causing the trouble ? My advice, dont be a guinea pig for M$, use something like firefox for browser, thunder bird or pine for mail, open office instead of M$ Office. Well, world is changing, so am I, how about you ?
