* What do you do for managing ideas..

- Any software?

- Sticky notes?

- Diary?

I always gets good (sometime even creative too) ideas during bath, loo or breakfast. And, from sometime, I started to maintain ‘Crazy Morning Ideas’ diary with me.

And these Google’ internal tools are also interesting..

* Personal:

- I am almost settled after one month at Ahmedabad and now early looking for new rented house (ie home), 1 or 2BHK.

- Kavin got minor electric shock while playing with switch and socket. Fortunately, my wife was holding him and doctor told that there is nothing to worry. He is `difficult` to handle and long examination of my fatherhood will start soon when they will be here at Ahmedabad.

- Work is going great. I have very good team now!

* Debian:

- Sandro Tosi will be co-maintainer or probably take over sitecopy package from me and will put it under collab-maint repository. Since, I mentioned that I am bit busy with settling down here and it will not be great if such useful package requires time to fix bugs with patches available already.

- D-I translation of Level 1 and 2 for Gujarati language are again 100%. Hunting Level 3 now.

- I am not still able to install Debian properly on my macbook! Only useful source for this is, http://wiki.debian.org/MacBook Any other pointers/docs will be

* As I mentioned in my previous wait() post. I was waiting for laptop from reseller, thats done and my Macbook (White, 2GB RAM, 160 GB HDD etc) finally arrived! Yay!! Spent some time in getting familiar with Mac OS and reading docs for installing Debian on Macbook. I started installation today but due to removal of lilo from Lenny, it was halted Now, trying again with some more bravery

And, I am also waiting for FD to wake up from 2 months of AM report. No big issues in it though..

* We all know that ‘Good things come to those who waits’. But, I am not in mood for that today.

- Laptop, Dealer is saying (%$#^@@#) that it will come in `half hour` since last one week.

- Rented home, People are just playing with words and has no value of time.

- Bike, I am not finding nice model

Thankfully, Firefox3 Party Pack is just arrived as scheduled on time from UPS.com. Their package tracking system aka PTS rocks! And got new sports shoes, even I know that I am not going to use it for running.

* I did this.

* Many many returns of the day to my dear Kavin, his birthday was on 16th and we had very small party too. Some pics are uploaded to my flickr and thanks to barkha for giving her digicam for capturing great moments.

Now back to Ahmedabad and waiting for rain to use my new umbrealla.

* Derived from yesterday’s ‘Developing Leadership Skills’ training at AMA:

- It’s against company policy

- Doesn’t fit in system

- It will never be approved

- The timing is just not right

- It didn’t work before

- Too wild

- We’re not yet ready for that

- I will think about it

- Put something in writing and get back to me

- Let’s form a committee

* #410703 Long pending. Help is required. Unfortunately, before I act on it, severity was raised to ‘grave’. See bug logs for more details.

Patches are most welcome from Developers (I was told to not ask patches from users. Thanks!)

And, I still don’t have Debian machine. The option is to get al-cheapo ASUS eee PC quickly to start whatever Debian work I can do or my dream is to wait and have Macbook

* Sometime back regarding my experiences with redbus.in, I happily wrote post how to not lose your customer? post. Now yesterday evening, I felt bored and tried my hands on indiaplaza.in shopping website and ordered two usb laptop lights (without having laptop!!). I was happy that site was accepting debit card and transaction was done smooth, but after finishing icici payment procedure, order was showing ‘Pending Authorization’. So, I tried again and checked in my bank account - great, money was drawn two times and indiaplaza.in was showing ‘Pending Authorization’ from ‘My Accounts’ section. I have written long mail to them. Awaiting action and 4 usb laptop light. I will give it to whoever wish on FCFS basis

Update: Order is now confirmed and ready for shipping. Good things comes for those who waits!

… are good!
