Pics from my cam here. Jace, where are your pics ?
Simply one word to describe it – *Amazing* The is one of the best Linux users meet ( Blug) ever. As I was telling achitnis, it was like packing 1 day of Linux-Bangalore into 2 hours. As most of you know, this meets topic was OpenSource Databases. I learned more about databases in this 2 hours then what I have learned in the last one year. Started with botsie talking about Open source and how one should contribute back to the community which was followed with his introduction to RDBMS’s in Linux. Hareesh ( a friend of manusb) then talking…
Does anyone know when Matrix : Reloaded is hitting India ? I haven’t seen ads in newspaper/TV. Come people say its coming this weekend and then some say its not until mid-june. Just way too many spoilers all over the blogs.
Nice site to look at your network stats. From today I’ve decided to use LJ as my bookmark. 🙂

Finally visited the doc. and no I do *not* have SARS. Apparently its just an extension of the cold which I had last week, and the doc says this could last for another week. Had a very long chat with my co-workers today.. about how things were changing around here. When I joined this company about a year and a half ago, I think I was the 8th employee, and now there are close to 100 of them. One year ago, we were a small start up, and now a full blown company ( I am talking about the bangalore…
Bad cold and cough is killing me. For the last 3 days, I havent been able to sleep in the nights coz as soon as I hit the sack, I start coughing… been only able to sleep after drinking tea at 6am everyday.. and this intern is screwing up my work schedule. When I do get to work, I am all sleepy, lazy and drowsy. Added to that body feels so dead these days. Been planning on going to gym, I should start sometime this week, else soon I will be a dead man.
Couple of hours of hack was worth it. I finally managed to write a script which automatically embeds a img tag in the post with the Unique ItemID as part of the URL. So if you have your own webserver, or have access to some webserver with CGI access, then you could use this to keep track of the number of hits for each of your individual posts (along with all the usual referrer, IP ,UserAgent etc).

Its also connects to IRC channels and builds tons of botnets, waiting for an instruction to be sent. It also builds up these bots via AOl Instant messenger. Another feature that…
