Every now and then I feel, what would have happened to us (read “me”, don’t know about others and who cares anyways) if the technology was not moving at the speed as it is. More precisely, when I try to imagine myself born 100 years back, I find it almost unattainable to digest. First of all no blogging so what could I possibly do to vent out my frustration, my dislikes to most of the walking and talking structures, my mental aggravation to cope with the world surrounding me and so on. Then no business, where I am in today so no bread (with jam of course).
All in all, I love technology and it really fascinates me, but some times it works other way around and the so called technocrats become a victim instead. And trust me the wounds you get are pretty bad.
To cut the long story short, when you use Gtalk, it allows you to sign in to two different machines at the same time, and every chat message appears on both of the systems in parallel. So few days back, I was using my dad’s laptop and signed in to Gtalk. Now the over smart fellow decided on its own that I want myself to be remembered there and took the necessary actions without making me realize the fact. I finished my work, signed off and easily forgot about it. Every thing was going as it should be, or at least looked like, till the day when I was talking to one of my friends from my office system. As it happens to all of us, I was in typical office mood like one can be after 8 hours of starting the day. The chat started quite innocently but pretty soon the sober looking white space became fairly colorful with various adjectives thrown in here and there, lots of 4 letter words used as prefix and suffix and so on. Again, I finished it off and forgot about it. Later that day, when I reached back to home, dad was like… Howcome your chats are appearing on my laptop from last couple of days? No.. shit! what chat??, was my reaction. Yeah, today as well when you were talking to “R”, it was all over my screen. I gasped for a breath while trying to find a suitable word but no such luck. Then as a sudden relief he announced that he had to go out at the very moment so he closed it at that time but I better fix it ASAP. I managed with “oh yeah.. will do it now..“
Later in night I was thinking, I am not that bad and dad must feel happy and lucky about it. This was just a chat between me and “R” but what could have happened to some one whose son was Casanova types.
Girl 1 – Hi Sexy
Dad – Excuse me!!
Girl 1 – Oh come on sweetiepie.. I am missing you soooo much.. ain't you missing me ?
Dad – See, I think you are mistak… even before completion, another window popping up

Girl 3 - Why are you ignoring me these days cutiepie…
Dad – running for life…

Still - ha ha.. me sexy.. come on.. my mirror dont lie :) so I have no misconception
Yes, you need to login to a system with your ID and Password but then if you choose "remember password" it will login again automatically whenever net is connected and so can happen on multiple machines. Thus if you have id saved on 3 machines, you will be logged in to all 3 machines at the same time and your messages will be appearing on every machine..
Thank you for the gyan ;)
netime sweets netime :))
HAHAAHA!!!
@ ST...beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder :P :P
That was nice!! Sure made me smile :-) Didn't know about that 'remember me' thingy, as in it has the utter cheek to log you onto multiple machines at the same time. Great I do now, thanks to you!
Karmanna - :)
Alter Ego - so what does your eye tell ;)
Stillness - Welcome to my place.. so you owe me a coffee for this gyan :)
