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.
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…
May 1st is a holiday. Karting anyone ?
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”.

Finally managed to attend a
One tech talk by jace + 2 sleepless nights + ditching all other work = XML-RPC Interface to one of auth servers that I maintain. Now clients/people/programs can auth users, fetch user credentials, even fetch cookies using various methods on this server. ( this is the same server with apache + mod_perl + mysql , with 449 days uptime as of today ). If you ever wanna try xml-rpc in perl, remember to use Frontier::RPC2 and not RPC::XML
I’m just sick of seeing this Ad. I cant believe a tech company ( so called tech company ) would say something stupid like that. How do they expect the Internet to work without sending the IP address out. I don’t see that as a security problem at all. The Ad is so misleading, I’m surprised no one sued these people yet. When I visit their site, they show my IP flashing in red (I guess they want people to say “look ma, this site has stolen my IP address”) and they actually think my OS is windows. bah. All…
Spent most of the last 2 days with noelladsa. Even though we did not do much.. had few of the best times ever. I’ve never felt so secure and happy in the relationship 😀
