Today for the first time ever, I was noticing my perl code was seg faulting and dumping core. Its was a long cycle of events : fetchmail-procmail-perl-mysql-cron-mail and each time I just assumed the perl part was fine and was check everywhere else. Anyway it turns out perl did not crib about deps (DBI) when I installed DBD::mysql , it installed it fine and after that kept on dumping core coz if could not find DBI.
Spent the last few hours playing WarCraft with nandu. Played couple of games continuously after a really long while and it kicks ass. We played 12 games in a row and its 6 – 6 now. Its 5am and none of us have any energy left in us to continue. *sign* Long weekend coming up and I have no clue what I’m gonna do. Any parties/get togethers happening ?
Many people seem to think I’m still stuck in US. Well, I came back more then a week ago (Just in time for a special occasion). My next trip clashes with Linux-Bangalore. *To go or not to go ??*
This is worse then what they show in the movies. The socially sanctioned rape of a 12 year old.
Indian National Workshop on Cryptography Cryptology Research Society of India” (CRSI) is hosting its annual summit today. This year’s workshop, is based on the theme “Applications of cryptology to Information Security”. Satyakam Mishra (certified ethical hacker) and Dr. SA Vetha Manickam of Network Security Solutions, Pune will present a paper on “Software implementation of attack on A5/1 with possible improvements” at the workshop. “Certified Ethical Hacker” ? – I wonder which dumbass person/company certified him with that 😉 Oh wait, Ankit Fadia , did you get your designation from the same place too ?
Apple released its Online music service software for windows today. Dont wait .. go grab your copy. Its simply kicks ass. The programs comes with a list of amazing features. From standalone media player to radio stations to everything else that you can think about. It arranges all the songs really well with nice looking interface ( you know the mac interface). It has a huge list of radio stations to listen to. The only issue is that it does not let me pay and download songs from India. Oh well, iTunes has become my new media player come radio…
After having an Olympus D-340L ( 1.3 Mega pixel ) camera for 4 years, I’ve decided to go for a new one. This time slightly high end and more for some serious photography. After spending the whole day researching and talking to atul and tarique, eventually decided on the Nikon Coolpix 5700 This is the only digital camera that seems to fit between the amateur and professional class photography. Its slightly pricey but looks like its gonna be worth the cost. Hope to get it before the end of the year ( Once I figure out how I am gonna…
– The ceremony went on very well. It was a small get together and yes for that night I was the king..the red carpet, the limo, the celebrity guests and of course the awards themselves.

I have been busy with work and misc stuff. So no sight seeing at…
I wish last 2 days were 50 hours long. Time just runs too fast and I’m hardly getting time to do anything. I’m missing out on too many things, meetings, personal matters etc. Went out for dinner to Cesar’s on MGroad. If you care for you life, please never ever visit that place. I ask for a chicken a-la king, and he serves me a half-cooked chicken. I could actually see raw uncooked,untouched meat in my piece of chicken. He apologized and replaced the dish.( by that time I was totally put off by the raw meat). and oh and…
