Linux-Bangalore/2003 : Day 2

Got lot more time today then yesterday. I actually managed to attend few of the talks and believe it or not I eventually ended up giving my talk. Jeremy’s talk was really wonderful. Slides were well structured and his ‘example for every bullet’ was amazing. I bailed out after his talk and was hanging around the stall for a while.

Rasmus meanwhile let me borrow one of his many wifi cards and helped me get online. I can’t believe how sloppy I am with linux now. I had to use his help in compiling the modules ( which did not work and eventually had to move them from his machine to mine using the camera flash card ). Once I got the card running I was struggling to set the IP and default route. He again helped me out again with ifconfig and route , though he has been pulling my leg all day about it.

rasmas talk was fun post lunch , and later when I was in Vineeth’s talk, prady came and pulled me out and threw me on one of the other halls. Apparently one of the speakers did not turn up and I was the guinnea pig who had to take his place. Luckily i had kinda worked on my slides already and ended up doing my sec talk.

Dinner was at RR’s. Jeremy took the chilli chicken amazingly well. He actually did not turn red and ofcourse rasmus did not have any issue what so ever.

I have shitloads of pics and will prob upload them over the weekend.
