Post trip blues

The trip to bandipur and kabini was *Excellent* and I already can’t wait to get back to this place. Though we could not see many mammals, we had a gala time spotting the birds, insects and best of all the appreciating the flora. Will post some of the lovely plant pictures later when I have time.

Eventful week coming up. Me and my IISC prof are doing a combined keynote at the Storage Area Network CEO summit on Dec 1st. This will be my first major talk in front of a non-tech audience and I hope I can print my visiting cards in time for the event.

This years Linux Bangalore 2004 is happening next week. Time to catch up on all the folks from the linux community. This year, instead of the usual Linux security talks, my presentation will be on ‘Digital Photography workflow under Linux’.

Looks like I’ll have to spend a lot of time with openoffice in the next two days.

    There’s a print shop on Richmond Road… when you come down Hayes Road it’s the first building on the left. If you have the design ready you can have your cards ready within an hour or two.(I got around 30 of them printed within 15 minutes.
    Worked out to around Rs.1 or Rs.1.2 per card.) I think they say it’s Rs.0.90 per card if it’s 200+.

    I just have one complaint.

    Its damn freaking slow. Make the app more responsive like Abiword 😀

    OOo kicks Abiword’s ass anyday. As for speed if you want i can get you the OOo-2.0 on a disk. It’s still a tad unstable but quite fast. And also use the quick starter applet, much faster launch and response.
