Just upgraded my machine to RH 7.3. It was an absolutely painless upgrade, my settings and preferences were untouched – I love it

Most of all I loved the looks and crisper feel of KDE 3. I remember talking to Sirtaj in Atul’s office during Linux Bangalore/2001 about this and he said – just wait and watch – Thanks Sirtaj 🙂 KDE 3.0.2 was released on 2nd july and KDE 3.1 alpha is out – More usability enhancements in the pipeline – I love it – I love it!! Had it not been bandwidth consideration, i would have loved to beta test this product as a power user… well.. ce st la vie sigh!!

Life suddenly is so organised – it seems strange to sleep at sane hours and wake up early, to have a decent maid to take care of things that bogged me down earlier, to devote more time to work and to go for walks without worrying about another late night to complete pending work… I … Continue reading Ah!!! bliss!!!

Reading this post and this one I got thinking and am pretty tickled by the fact that men are forever obsessed with female breasts – something absoloutely useless for their pleasure 😀

So I changed into my jogging overalls, caught hold of hubby dear and off we went power walking. … Continue reading Ah!! Rains!!!
