Blackhole week

Even though I’ve spent more then usual amount of time at work this week, did not get anything done. I think the last time I got some decent work done was on last Sunday night, when I did not get sleep. The worst part is the fact that I don’t know why I could not get work done.. I was under the impression that the fragfest at snagappa‘s place was tonight. Hate to miss the fragfest’s. I just hope next week starts off well …

what is journal all about ?

After my previous post (which now is friends only), someone out there found it *inappropriate*. This was the mail I got from the person, and here is my reply : A public post, with a incredibly crude porn link in it? Porn ? hmmm.. I find it much more decent then few of the comments that get on here in my friends journals. Also there are many people in my friends list on LJ who are subscribed to many communities, which for some can be “inappropriate”. Why dont they get flamed ? Is this what you think a journal is…

RSS feeds from blogspot ?

Does anyone know how to get a RSS feed out of a blog at blogspot ? There are couple of good ones there, and I could not find a RSS link anywhere. Came across Dirty Whore Diary today. As the site says its “The reality and fantasies of an ordinary woman, who no one would suspect is really a filthy slut.”. A *must* read.

May 1

The holiday just passed by. I overslept and ended up sleeping most of the day. Then felt too lazy to go around anywhere.. so stayed at home.. and the basic loop while (1) { eat ; sleep ; watch TV; mail and LJ; } and now work 🙁

*gulp*

Time to change my pager to vibration mode 😀 noelladsa: are you sleeping now ? kalyan_va: waiting for a guy to login on messenger, and then I’ll sleep. noelladsa: do all these people get disturbed in the middle of the night? noelladsa: I promise you I will throw you out.. noelladsa: if you ever get up in the night to do work in the future.

Giant Robot

I dont know how many of your remember this one, but back in late eighties, there was this program called ‘Giant robot’ that used to come in DD. I remember as a kid, I’d watch it every wed evening without fail. I think this was the first time I watched sci-fi on TV. I also remember my dad telling me once ‘If you study well, once day you can build your own and have your own flying robot” But I remember seeing this in Black and white even though we had a color TV.

more xml-rpc

I dont know how the news went out, but today one guy at work comes upto me and says he wants to use the xml-rpc interface that I had written last week. Now I need to make it work in php and having a shitty time. xmlrpc lib is php does not support https out-of-the box. It needs libcurl, and its not part of the standard build that we use. By the end of the day, another guy comes in and says he wants to use the rpc interface too. ( this is VC++, so he needs to fig out…

Time Wrap ?

After working till today morning, I went home at about 5 am and crashed on the bed. Suddenly I get up to the sound of a loud bang. It turns out, it was the electric wires outside, and somehow they got fused. and yep the power went off. It was too hot to sleep anymore so I get up and look at the time in my watch. It read “6:20”. I could see light outside the window and I could hear people/traffic blah. And to top it all, somehow I was satisfied with my sleep. So I though it was…
