Just testing some stuff. Please ignore this post.

Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been doing more and more of my work via Email. I spend about 60% of my time on mail, and I actually seem to be doing most of my work via it. I even ignore all the folders where the stuff from all the mailing lists are being sucked into. My Inbox is still filled with about 700 mails. They’ve been going down by about an 100 a day ( I am hoping to see a single page view of my complete inbox someday) I havent programmed continuously in weeks. Its mostly bug…

This was the signature of the mail I received today from the security contact of a well known company : This e-mail is confidential and may also be privileged. If you are not the intended recipient, please notify us immediately; you should not copy or use it for any purpose, nor disclose its contents to any other person. Why do people wanna leave disclaimer with anything and everything they write or do online ? Copyright is one thing, but this huge disclaimers are pushing it too much.

Everyone with Flash6 *must* and *should* check this out. Its the new Honda Accord commercial. I’ve only seen this in Tom & Jerry before 🙂 and turns out this Ad was not computer generated. proof here

Long Drive + No Power + Cold Beer + Stupid Jokes + Even more Stupid Jokes + Good singing + Chocolate mousse = achinis‘s Party. ( rather it was derherr‘s and geetanjali‘s birthday party, Happy Birthday for both of ya)

Finally managed to get my tickets via europe and skip the hk/sg leg. I will be landing in Bangalore on thu night. Wont have the nice personal TV’s like last time and its an extra 2 hours flight coz of the damn war. Just in time for all the weekend parties ( wink wink ;)) As usual the last min things have popped up. Have tons of shopping to do, have shit loads of meeting, need to meet up with people… and loads more. Cant wait to get back …

Finally met the Apple man. Very down to earth, funny and an amazing guy. Turns out he travels around in a Segway.. If there is one person in the tech industry who can be my role model, then its surely woz. Never went for the money, but went after innovation and techonology. And I like him the most for the fact that he used to teach in a kinder garden, when he moved out of apple. We had dinner at this place called the old spaghetti factory. Good food, and the prices are very cheap. I am going to the…

Way back in 1998 I got my 1st pop account, which was kalyan@pes.edu ( which still works btw ;)). That was also the time, when I used to check my mail in the unix box, without popping it off. I did not know anything , and hence started using the command line utility “mail” for everything. For couple of months, I used “mail”, to check mail, reply mails and store the emails. The my mbox started growing, and I realized I needed a better mail client. That’s when I tried pine, and got used to it right away. Also with…

I am going out with Steve Woz tomorrow for dinner. Finally getting to meet the big mac.

I was suppose to have left back for home this weekend. But looks like It ain’t happening. First, there is no travel policy for a while in the company.. but somehow managed to convince them that I need to get back. As soon as I resolve that issues, the SARS virus breaks out. That’s means no flight via HK and SG, and I just cant seem to get any tickets from the other side I’m also kickin myself for missing the Rolling stones concert, which is scheduled this weekend, and also the party at achitnis‘s place. I should know my…
