khorgath and gromhellscream managed to get tickets for tomorrow’s Matrix revolutions 1st day 1st show at the Multiplex. Finally this time I don’t have to stay away from all the blogs where matrix theories were discussed last time around.( Apparently this is the 1st time in history, a movie is being simultaneously being released both in the US and India at the same time ) and looks like a lot of LJ’ers are coming there too. *Good Stuff*
I should never try to fix my sleeping cycle. Last night I slept at 12 and thought I’d start my monday early by reaching work before lunch etc. Got up at 10 this morning and I’ve been feeling feverish and drowsy ( feels like I’ve slept only few hours ) since then. Got ready and was about to put on my socks on and I just crashed into the sofa and went of to sleep. Now its close to 2 and am still feeling too sick to get to work. With monday starting out like this, Its going to be…
Was going home this morning at 5am ,with my new tripod and my friends (sagarika, thanks for letting me borrow it) new Canon S400 camera. Could not resist the dark patch on airport-kormangala road. Here’s the outcome with the long-exposure photographs I took this morning Rest of the pics here
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…
