[VAC] Till I get Debian machine!

Posted in Bangaluru, Books, Debian, Linux, News, Personal by Kartik Mistry on May 13th, 2008

* I have no longer pure Debian machine access available to me for unknown time :( So, obviously, I will not able to update my packages (most packages need no update and migrated into testing already, some are waiting for sponsor to uploads). All are under LowThresholdNmu. Feel free to do NMU without asking me, if RC/RG bug appears :) I will have IRC/Mail etc access though.

Enjoy Madi!

Meanwhile, I am enjoying beer, movies, learning Python and finishing readinglong pending books.

Today’s fortune

Posted in Debian, Linux, News, Personal by Kartik Mistry on May 6th, 2008

* From world’s favorite time pass, Orkut: You have a strong desire for a home and your family comes first.

* On Debian front since Sunday, I updated chmlib (Thanks meebey for reporting and pabs for quick upload) fixing horrible bug due to my overlook in debian/copyright (#479649) and uploaded new release of libyahoo2 0.7.6 to mentors.

* And yes, I am bit sick from last 2/3 days. Stomach is bad :(

News: Not for me..

* I just removed all local and international news feed from Akregator feed list. They are not for me. Local news channels are full of IPL news only and international are useless for me. Also, deleted some useless feeds like my own blogs feeds etc.

* In other news, I went to my first visit of any BLR mall today. Met Harsh at lunch and had good time and talk in Gujarati in Real Life. Feeling very very good. We went to some foo places for his PG accommodation too. And, me and Kushal went to yet another nearby mall, Garuda. Pretty nice and good eye-stoppers there. And got a book, ‘The Emperor’s New Mind by Roger Penrose‘.

* Some time life worth to call it good.

* Initial life at any place is not easy. Away from /home, missing 2Ks, dealing with Uncertainty Principle daily and almost 2/3 km walking is making not so good effect. My body is adjusting with good amount of rice and rice products - I love that!!

* Work is great till now (I mean I have done almost 0 work!). Installed Sid on my laptop. No issues till so far.

uptime: 2 years

* Happy marriage anniversary to /me and dear K. Thanks for your support (and remote support when I was really away from you!) throughout the journey of (cruel) life.

* No specific plan yet, need to fix some things before thinking about any planning.
