* This really deserve more than twit , so I am putting it here as NEWS. We selected nearby no-nonsense, no-hype, no-big-fees kind of school running in somewhat 4 BHK kind of bungalow in residential area. He is in Playgroup where primary motive is to interact with others, to learn by monkey business and to learn some good (hopefully) stuffs. I was glad that he did not cried while going to school, but we had to drag him to home and he cried a lot Current school timings are 9.30 AM to 11.30 AM, so I must help K and need to wake up early in the morning and probably stop (or reduce) useless hacking till late night. However, I m kind of down due to RCT, Stomach issues and now some pain in shoulder but still alive to write this.

* Long awaited CFP is out! Lets see how we represent Debian this time. Last year s I missed it completely and I am also not sure about this year, but as always I am excited Go for it!

* Crossed 30. Hope that I will be more mature, sane and reponsible than before. Hope that I will kick my laziness sometime in this year. Hope that I will be myself. Thanks to all who wished by call, sms, orkut, facebook, im (all possible ways, accounts) and in person. Koki surprized me in the morning by putting nice birthday card and gift near laptop. I love you, baby.

* My state, Gujarat is celebrating on its birthday today and entering in 50th year. Jay Jay Garavi Gujarat, !

* We know that its time of election going in world s biggest democratic country, India. Last and third phase will be on 30th. I am not sure I will go to my dear Palanpur and vote. Oh, I may go and vote! and will wait for sane result this time.

* Many many returns of the day to Big K!

* Sandro Tosi blogged about reportbug 4.o So, I decided to try it. I was not able to see Desktop file for it and luckily found it inside Debian Menu (Why we need it, anyway?). It worked fine, fetched information about some bug and then I decided to go back - crash I am investigating it further during VAC or may be Sandro already knows about it

* We (3Ks) will be at Mumbai from tomorrow till 4th April. Initially, I adjusted my vacation (& paid leaves ) along with 3rd Indic Developers Meet - but somehow it is not going to happen within this timeframe - So, I have big vacation where I have nothing to do apart from spending time with family, watching TV and reading unfinished wishlist books. I will check mails once or twice in a day, will hack something at night, will do KDE Gujarati work - but, can t upload packages on slow connection there (or may be I can?). Feel free to do NMU - at moment, nothing seems serious in my packages (yep, speech-tools need to fix! Thank God, Kumar is there to take care ) C ya, soon!

* It looks like people don t know how and when to report bugs to Debian BTS. Following are some steps for them: 1. Fire terminal, type reportbug . Follow instructions. Use reportbug-ng if needed! If you are not comfortable with terminal, firing a mail to submit@bugs.d.o with proper subject is fine. Look at example of any bugs. Its very easy. 2. If you are using Sid . Don t forget to report bug when they are encounters. 3. File a bug, rather than crying about maintainer not responding and blah blah. 4. While updating system to Lenny, Keep such documents handy. 5. Ask

* Finally, we got our idiot box!

* I had private email with God today..

* It all started with this sip! 3 years. Thanks my dear Koki!

* Lenny is the future now!

* Debian Lenny can be one of best gift to your love one on Valentine s Day!

* I have started breaking commitments so often. It really hurts when you do it often and I am very depressed by myself at moment. But, good things in life so far: + My new digital photoframe has arrived. Thanks to Chintan for it. + We have started to make some furniture for home (ie my longterm pending thing: Computer Table!) + Kavin is becoming so smart, he has started speaking some random words and identify and duplicate things I do (no, not Debian packaging yet!) + My macbook has 4 GB RAM now. The incident is here (Sorry, its in Gujarati only!).
