Here’s an interesting hack on your Windows XP 3d Pinball game. (If you are one of those few remaining who are stuck with these time killers) So, when the game gets loaded, type the words “Hidden Test”.
It still seems all normal, until you grab your mouse. Click the mouse on the pinball machine and drag it all around. The pinball will now follow your mouse direction wherever it goes. Pretty cool huh!
Now check this out, press H key and see what you get. It pops the high score table with an entry of a Billion and you can remain as high scorer forever.
Lastly, press the R key to increase your rank in the game.
Happy pinballing!!! And as “the Who” said, “Sure plays a mean pinball”

Right! I have been on quite a long hiatus now. Almost two months. The last post was on July 30th. Both my blogs, this one and OKS have been quite dead. Not that many people have been asking me why, but I do feel the need to explain why. Well, simple and plain, I have been busy. And not simple, plain busy. It has been a helluva hectic ass-pounding 2 months for me. And to top that, I have been dwelling in an offline world. You ask me, how’s that possible. It is, indeed. Yeah, the occasional online sessions at a cybercafe don’t count, do they?
How do you expect me to get hold of everything in the techno-blogosphere and elsewhere from a cubicle, with no-AC, a shitty keyboard which makes me hit the keys like I was Lars Ulrich, a Monitor which has its own idea of colors, a USB port which wouldn’t recognise mine, and at the end of it all , charge me Rs.35 for an hour. Bitches! All I could do was check my mail, mail back the important ones, and by that time (yes, I indeed didn’t mention the disconnections and the snail speed), the hour bell has rung.
And why was I exactly in such a place. Coz I was preparing for my education loan, back at home. And as they say, ” All’s well that ends well”. The ending was certainly happy and it marked the beginning of a new era. Here I am, in England, Southampton. I am studying M.Sc in Management Sciences in University of Southampton, and I am loving it here. Hope to write more posts soon.
Ciao!
