The holiday just passed by. I overslept and ended up sleeping most of the day. Then felt too lazy to go around anywhere.. so stayed at home.. and the basic loop while (1) { eat ; sleep ; watch TV; mail and LJ; } and now work 🙁

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.

While searching around for xml stuff, I came across this in google.. If you click on the second link, it takes you to a page, where you need a username and a password to access the article.

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
