ATM Transaction... How Strange !

Here is the deal.
I have two savings bank account from banks namely Sity Bank and Exis Bank. I had 10,000 bucks in my Exis Bank account and just Rs.4 in my Sity Bank account. Near my locality I did not have any ATM, either of these banks, but I found out an ATM of yet another bank named Onion Bank. Well, I wanted to withdraw the entire 10,000 bucks from my Exis bank account for some need. So I decided to walk into Onion bank ATM. I took out my ATM card from my purse, swiped it through the ATM of Onion bank and when it prompted me to enter the password, I entered the password. Password got  accepted  and then I enter the amout for withdrawal and then after sometime, i get a message of failed transaction. I tried it for 3 to 4 times, still the same error, TRANSACTION FAILED !. I thought that Onion bank ATM does not accept my card for some reason and I walked out of the ATM.



On the way back to my home, I just had a strange feeling for what might be the reason for transaction failure for no specific reason. Later I realized. Did I tell you, which ATM card I used to swipe through the Onion Bank ATM? I guess no. Well to my stuppidness I used the Sity bank ATM card which just had Rs.4 in it. How dumb I am. You must be agreeing to the fact that, yea I how dumb I am  for I tried to withdraw 10,000 from an account which just had Rs.4. 



That did not stop me from thinking deeply into that on the way back home. I cant be that dumb, I might have accidentally picked up Sity bank ATM card from my purse. Accidentally picked up my Sity bank card thinking it is Exis bank ATM card...hey hey..that means to withdraw money I must have used the Exis bank password right. Yes, I remember , I used Exis bank password on a wrong  ATM card. But then how the hell did the password work out on Sity bank ATM card and provided me with my bank details. This question is still killing me. Is something wrong with the Sity bank ATM system that on its card any random password just worked out. Oh crap this is very bad indeed, or is it something else, if it is what is it??


Have you ever been in this kind of situation or would like to share with me your ATM funny experince, just leave me a comment. 


Have a good day :)

iPod Technical Support

iPod Technical Support  is my yet another blog where I write about iPod troubleshooting steps. Mostly i write to the questions posted by my visitors. I started this blog at around mid of April. After starting this blog I never wrote any article. Actually I was thinking whats the use of this particular blog. later in the month of June I saw a comment in that blog from an iPod user and she was requesting a help. I was very much surprised thinking, how come a person comment on a blog which had any article or posts about iPod. I replied to that comment by writing a neat article on how that particular issue can be fixed. I think it was around July end that I must have written that post and one of my friend suggested to make use of Google Analytic to get the accurate stats of the blog. So on July 29th I decided to install Google analytic and from then on there was no looking back. I am very proud to say that 80% of my visitors come from various search engines. and I get many requests through comments and through personal emails to help on various iPod issues. Though I give help for FREE, i decided why not I include a PAYPAL DONATE button so that in-case any visitor is really happy about my help, he can donate me and I did not have to wait too long that one of my visitor was so happy with my help that he donated me some dollars and I was really happy for this achievement.
This is my one month Google Analytic statistics:

My Attempt To Design a Website Using Photoshop

Hi Friends


Working as an internet engineer for a design company, I see talented designers around me design some wonderful designs for our clients. The logos, websites designed by our designers are always eye catchy and to the mark. As a programmer I just appreciate the way they design stuff's and have a strong desire to learn Photoshop and design something of my own. I know, you cannot learn something overnight, but I thought I will give it a shot and I came up with a website layout. I designed this layout keeping in mind my one other blog named iPod-Genius. So let me know through your comments, hows my very first attempt of design.

Adobe Auto Updates.... I Hate Them :x

Hi Friends.

You must be thinking, why should I hate automatic updates from Adobe. Infact I would hate all kind of automatics updates which happen over the internet. The only reason behind this is my bandwidth limit provided to me by my ISP. It is just 1.5GB per month. That means per day 50MB.

Now most of the applications does allow us to prevent the automatic updates by changing it in their settings. But I never found any settings to stop Adobe automatic updates for all adobe applications. Finally I found the hidden trick to kill Adobe automatic updates.

Follow the step by step instructions below and you too can get rid of adobe auto updates.(Only for Windows OS)

1. Open the C drive, Go to Program files, Open Common Files folder,

2.There you find Adobe folder, open it.

3.There you find Updater5 folder, open that.

4.Double click on AdobeUpdater.exe, it will check for available updates, then after that you will find preferences option, There you find a check box to cancel auto updates. Just cancel it and click OK. You are done.

So now I can save some of my bandwidths. Yeahooooo :)
