Spring Break ?

Looks like everyone I know from college days and who are doing there masters in USA, are heading to miami for the spring break next week. This is the 1st time I’ve heard about spring break, and from what I hear.. it sounds like a mega huge orgy… atleast thats what’s being shown on MTV right now.

Strictly Confidential

Today I’ve been given some tasks list , which I’ll be working on for the next couple of months. Also I’ve been working / writing some stuff for the last 2 days. Now here’s the part that gets interesting… I’m not suppose to show / talk about my work with anyone else. I mean *nobody*, which to my surprise includes my reporting manager. this gives me some _evil_ ideas 😉 I mean think about the possibilities … I could just say “Confidential” each time someone asks me what I’m going , and get away with it.

Monday Blues

Back in bangalore, monday’s are pretty easy and almost are extended weekends ( taking advantage of the fact that, the monday here in US does not start till monday night in India ). Being here on a monday sucks. Tons of piled up work and overall a slow moving day. Managed to get a laptop from office here though.. and luckly its an IBM thinkpad. Tons and tons of work to be done, and so little time. I might have to extend my trip by a week or two. Just in case I forget, a huge mega thanks to bhatta…

I’m updating tis from the linux consoles at jwz‘s DNA Lounge. this console has gaim , linux .. galeon.. the works…. music’s great too… too much of a culture shock… on my left 2 guys are smooching away to glory… and on my left.. a guy in indian dress.. smoking pot

came here at 2pm… came to office… went on a porsche at 100 mph and.. now am still at work… will need to go cehck out the appt soon. the keyboards suck here… they are the slpit ones… more later

Just as I predicted

Looks like my prediction on sendmail came true. www.sendmail.org has released 8.12.8 older versions can be remote exploited via email (non-standard headers) Looks like all vendors were ready to roll and punched the send button at 17:00 GMT
