I’m back from Chicago after spending the weekend (long weekend due to spring break) there. The weather was pleasent and windy. It was very windy while driving back (gusts 50 mph). We went to Alice and Friends’ Vegetarian Café in Chicago. The food was really good. I would recommend you to try it atleast once. It is located at 5812 N. Broadway, Chicago.

Aqua Dock

I installed Aqua dock from Opennwares. It’s a free utility that gives you Mac OS X style taskbar. I read the review in some magazine and downloaded it. After I installed it, Spysweeper startup sheild asked me If I want to give permission to Aquadoc and Liveupdate for starting with Windows. I didn’t know what liveupdate was, so I said ok to Aquadock and No to liveupdate. I then checked the program files folder and found that the installation created a folder liveupdate under program files. That folder had an uninstall executable which I used to uninstall that program and then deleted the folder. I’m not sure if it was part of Aquadock or an adware that Aquadock installs. Please use caution if you are going to install this utility. On the positive side, the utility is nice and the animated taskbar is pretty neat. It doesn’t replace windows taskbar.

Google Blogoscoped has a story of a GMail user loosing his GMail account and he didn’t take any backup. He tried to contact Google, but he has not received any response from them till now. Reading that, I feel I should have a backup of my GMail account. I’m going to configure my thunderbird to download my GMails. I advise everyone to do so.
