Been trying to get the lj client running for my linux machine.. Downloaded the client Found out it needs curl 7.9 Downloaded curl 7.9 it tells me libcurl.so.2 is needed. Realised it is faster to make a journal entry (for those who prefer calling events, experiences, and observations – a diary entry) from the LJ site itself!!
Bottom line – not to waste time when the deadline for submitting the year’s accounts to the CA was yesterday
The weather in vizag is nice. So unlike Nagpur which is boiling hot even at 7 PM.
I feel if folks in Bangalore call Vizag hot Bangalore must really be cool.
Now this can happen only with Indian banks…
My bank actually debited somebody else’s account for the cash I had withdrawn
Tarique tells me that GAIM has cracked Yahoo. Great peice of news – but i dont have my machine – Veena using it 🙁
Days pass by so quickly… Next month it will be eight years to our marriage and it still seems like yesterday.
Financial year ending means so much work
Going out of station demands extra hours of work – shopping, packing, buying gifts and taking care that Aasim doesnt fall ill (100% home cooked meals No Pepsi, No Icecream)
Wow! I lost one more pound
Ah! must go back to the kitchen else everyone will have to eat burnt dinner
Waking up late, eating, sleeping, playing, a bit of organising and shopping.. . .I am having fun!!
I am not a geek, I don’t use Linux as a hobby. I need it my desktop applications as any manager would. I am a power user.
I choose to use Linux because of the stability it promises to offer but every time I realise that Linux desktop is just as (un)stable as MS windows.
For almost 10 months I refused to touch the Linux desktop. After being told that things are much stable now, I picked it up again.. things were better.. but not good enough. Not good enough for Linux.
Why do I keep going back to Linux
I am back to using Yahoo messenger on Linux. It was very nice of Madhu M Kurup (person developing Yahoo client for *Nix) to chat with me and tell me that he will work on the problem I faced and told me a workaround. This is what makes me go back again and again to keep using Linux desktop.
Someone cynically told Tarique yesterday that I basically *don’t* want to shift to Linux and I will never. I would like to tell him how wrong he is, an ostrich like attitude never works there is a problem which has to be sorted out and it can be solved only if it is acknowledged.
I complain. Yes I do. I am a demanding user and Linux desktop has to satisfy users like me to be better than the more popular Windows.
Aasim today collected some wild flowers (gulmohar) and brought it for me 🙂 My son is growing up to be a fine gentleman!!
The weather today was mostly cloudy so he could play outside. He now wants rabbits as pet and Dinesh has promised to get him a couple.. wonder where will I keep them specially when we are not in town.
Saw that Tarique has scanned one of my very old photographs.. wonder what he wants to do with it.
X on my machine just did not start today… Saturday it worked fine today morning Veena started the machine in windows and when I rebooted and did a StartX It just did not start.
Somebody please help.. .. If no one can.. then I go back to using Windoze.. and all geeks reading this will be held responsible.
NO! I did not do anything to the config files.. All I did on Saturday was install Yahoo messanger – link to the RPM given by Atul
Bad Day!!!
Aasim has fever today… the heat is just too much
Tarique got a haircut today – his head now looks like a neatly mowed lawn
New business from old client for the financial year starting 1st April
Painting will be over tomorrow – implying Sunday is going to be busy for me… lot of cleaning up.. and this is just the first phase of painting -the second phase starts next month after chiya’s wedding
