I know monday morning blues… is there a friday morning blues !! Well it happened to me today. This morning when I woke up, I was greeted by a message in my iTunes with something like this..

The “Technology Early Adopter” part of me immediately wanted to try it. I clicked the Download and Install button. iTunes got into action immediately by downloading the iPhone OS 2.0 (About 214Mb), and backed up my current settings and installed the new version. However, when time came to activate the phone with this new software, guess what shows up.. ” AN UNKNOWN ERROR”.  uh OH….

I had to call up iPhone support to confirm that its actually iTunes server issue rather than mine. Digged up google and found there were fellow iPhone owners facing the same issue. Gave me a  sigh of relief.

She now initiated the curtains for Den project this weekend and now, we have a curtain for the entry to Den. Oh by the way, did you notice that I dont have a windows system at home. My wife curses me for that, while I just installed a Windows XP for her in the VMWare Server inside my Ubuntu box. And yes..,
