Merry Christmas and happy holidays

A very merry Christmas to all the readers of Technoprozium! Festivities are a great excuse to spend some great times with your families and friends. Listen to your favorite musics, watch movies, eat lots of good food and have fun. Enjoy the chill in the air and put it to good use - game hardcore without the fear of throttling! With your hardware permitting, even a mild overclock isn't out of question - but only if you know what you're doing. Happy holidays :)

Blogger's Diary: 5 Christmas movies that I'll watch

I can’t think of a better way to spend my winter vacation than watching some great movies with my family and friends. While I can’t share my media collection with you online (some people going – really?!), I can sure let you in for a sneak-peek of my favorite top 5 Christmas movies. Considering the number of fine movies that I’ve amassed over the years – it’s hard to choose only five! I’ll give it a try never the less. Please remember that the emphasis here is on Christmas and the choices are highly personal. Also, start with no.5 and then move upwards :)

Merry Christmas to you all :)

Christmastime is finally here! Being from a part of the world where summer and monsoon run a very convenient duopoly throughout the year, I've always cherished the winter time. I often consider myself gifted in the art of  finding good excuses to not to work and winter vacation has yet to fail me in this regard! For me Christmas is the biggest congregation of favorable conditions. This the time of the year when I commit myself  into all shorts of atrocities that otherwise won't go unpunished! I can eat staggering amount of cakes and cookies, buy utterly useless things or even go wild with my hardware and still get away with it - such is the spirit of Christmas! Take the incident from last year for example, when I ran some crazy amount of voltage through my now venerable i7 920 (Bloomfield, D0 stepping) for a suicidal 4.2GHz on air! Now that I look back at the whole event, I can't help feeling that it was the combined effect of Christmas and an idle brain that had put me up it. And the fact that my Nehalem survived that peril is a miracle in itself! These are situations where people find religion; for me, I was lucky enough to find my Noctua NH-D14!
