There is an idiom, 'when it rains, it pours'. It means that when something happens after a time gap, it happens at once in large or huge amount. For e.g., no one might visit a store for a couple of hours, but suddenly the salesmen may be overwhelmed with a dozen or more customers barging in at the same time.
Another similar expression is 'trouble always comes in threes'. Over the last week, it did find me in threes.
It all started with the old man falling ill before the weekend. He had to be hospitalised, but still we had high hopes of putting up the Ganesh Chaturthi Puja procedure 2014 in Tamil, and also the Sama Veda Upakarma, scheduled for today, 29 Aug 2014, as we had almost completed the draft document.
Then, soon after the #rustysunday post of 24th, the internet connection broke down. First the ISP diagnosed a line problem - because the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) margin was too low at around 6 - 9 dB.
Once the technician made himself available, the line problem turned out to a modem problem too. After a few hours of to and fro arguments, the ISP finally consented to replace the modem.
And then the Windows decided to act up. The PC simply refused to wake up from the hibernate/sleep mode. For the last 3 days, none of my tricks have had any impact on the bleeding Windoze, which refuses to wake up.
If Windows is becoming more and more like Linux with several user profiles and user files stored as part of the boot partition, Linux is evolving more like Windows by refusing to bypass/disable/disregard the Windows flags and attributes.
I remember a time when all it needed was a Linux boot to safely copy the desired documents and files from a Windows partition to an external drive. The idea was to extract the draft versions of Pillayar Chaturthi pooja procedure in Tamil 2014 and the Sama Upakarma 2014 in Tamil, and release them as such.
But this week, all the Linux flavours I tried found the idea of bypassing Windows to be distasteful.
In the bargain, the draft documents have been lost. That is the reason you will not find any Ganesh Chaturthi puja procedure in Tamil for 2014 or the Sama Upakarma procedure in Tamil, Sanskrit or English for 2014 here.
Even this post is being made from a Linux Mint LiveCD, which seems to be the only good thing left over in the Linux operating systems.
Here is a screengrab from an attempt yesterday evening to recover the draft documents of Ganesh Chaturthi pooja procedure and Sama Upakarama 2014. As you can see it Linux Mint 13 (Maya) can easily recognize and save the screenshot into the Samsung Mobile. But is flatly unwilling to work around the Windows hibernate/sleep flag.

So, I better get on to the job of a format/reinstall of Windows, and hopefully the old man will be all right in the next few days for the next innings - Mahalayapaksha Tharpanam and the Navarathri pooja procedure 2014 in Tamil.
