* I did this.

Created using http://scionspeak.com

* Accidently, I found this ‘Mozilla Custom Keywords‘ and tried with Debian BTS. It works.

1. Bookmark: http://bugs.debian.org/%s

2. Give it keyword: bugs (or whatever you want, like if you hate bugs, you can give it, ‘hate’ also…)

3. Type: bugs nnnnnn (where nnnnnn is bug number).

Done. No need to type entire url or use broken search engines. Btw, this is really cheap hack, I need to really something cool that will bring some excitement in current boring life

* I got following while reading some SourceForge mailing list:

This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft
Defy all challenges. Microsoft (R) Visual Studio 2008.

So, what to say?

* One of the best ever event Freed.in is over (although, some people are enjoying at Manali right now!). I came back on last night.

* I reached Delhi on Thursday night. Grepping JNU was easy due to pre-paid taxi from airport. Got my room at Aravali Hostel and found none of the known person at first site. Oldmonk’s reply to my call, ‘where are you?’ was hilarious one. Finally, I found Karunakar and we enjoyed ‘Maggie’ at 12 AM.

* Both days were entirely full of fun. I talked about ‘Debian-IN‘ project. Unfortunately, my talk got last place on schedule (I think due to track allocation etc) and so, number of people was less. The fun thing was that whole #linux-india channel (almost, except famous Lap_64) was there. And channel was so quite during 2 days..

* With very limited time in our hand, we (me and tuxmaniac) visited Qutub Minar, India Gate and famous Delhi Metro (by traveling to/from random station!). Flickr photos are up.

* From gmail webclip:

* Madduck wrote the post Iceweasel/Firefox brings you the Windows experience So, I thought to try given sample link. And here is result!

* Yesterday, we had meeting with Mozilla guys, Chris and Seth at HBCSE. I was touch with Seth from some days and made this announcement on ILUG-Bom mailing list. Nirav was backbone behind this meet. 42 people did RSVP for meet.

* I reached there at around 9.30 AM, Ankit was already there and he came long way from Pune (and paid 500/- from Thane to HBCSE too!), we met after 2 years and I felt great after seeing him - our l10n hero. We chatted while, ate ‘Idali’ and Chris and Seth was there at 10 AM. Perfect. But, there was only 6 people. We waited till 11 and setup tshirts on stage, projector etc. People were coming like they are coming in marriage!

* I gave 1 minute welcome speech. Seth started talk at 11 AM. People grab Tshirts, Pins, Mouse pads (wow!) and cool stickers. Chris joined presentation to talk about how Mozilla evolve. We had nice discussion and question/answers too. Lunch was good. We had presentations from different people, including Ankit’s step-by-step procedure to start new language process for localization in Mozilla-* packages.

* Krishnakant Mane showed us, how Firefox is capable with accessibility. I also thanks him here for Gnome-orca package (I did ITP after his demonstration in Dec ‘06 Lug meet). Siji showed some issues and its solution with printing. Dr. Nagarjuna presented ‘gnowledge’ extension for Firefox. Shantanu also gave demo on transliteration extension for Indian languages.

* Somehow, Official lug meet didn’t happen. Speaker was missing! I seated together with other IRCers of #linux-india in canteen and we talked about various things. It was real fun to hear Pradeepto after long time. BG came too late (too late to have nice stickers!)
* I officially hate Mumbai traffic, now. Many thanks to people who did RSVP and didn’t appear.

* Kushal did interview of  Alexander Tolimar Schmehl at LinuxTag. Kushal, are you converted to Debian now ? You can find it here.

Go Kushal Go!

* I tried to get “tag cloud” of my blog, it works!

Eh!

* As Jaldhar announced at Debian-IN mailing list, Ikiwiki has been setup (obvious, by him only!) on Debian-IN Page. Still some minor issue need to be solved (Unfortunately, I know only very basic of perl!). You can login with your Alioth username and can change relevant things there.

Today, I updated aspell-bn,or,pa,ta,te packages (upload due), And made it Lintian-Free for Debian-IN Packages (And yes, Thanks to Soumyadip)

Update: Jaldhar’s mail hit to mailing-list after my blog post. Here it is.
