Lately, for my day job (to be more efficient for the time I spent), I am required to use Windows, back again. :-)
It is great to be back. By back, I mean using Windows for some of the workflows. All these years, I’ve been using Linux based tools (Debian, Kontact | IceDove, Konq | Chromium | IceWeasel etc) to get my job done. It is great to try back Windows for some of the workflows.

I’m very grateful to the Free Software Eco-System Movement that allowed access to everyone to learn. I got involved with Debian as a user in the early 2000. I became an official Debian Developer in 2010. Debian’s processes and structure still amazes me and I’m very proud to be part of this project.
My contributions to the Debian project can be seen here. I wrote apt- offline (APT Offline Package Manager) when stuck with real-world IT policies.

Nokia has [announced](http://blog.qt.nokia.com/2011/03/07/nokia-and-digia- working-together/) that it is selling off its Qt business. This needed to happen given the change in the company’s strategy. Microsoft is a software vendor providing Mobile OS, with Nokia being one of its consumers. For Nokia, to have a tier 1 alliance with Microsoft, it would have been important for the company to show positive gesture. With this move, Microsoft and Nokia will strengthen their partnership. This move will focus on tighter integration in between the 2 company’s portfolios.

Fishkeeping is a very common hobby and an easy one to start. What’s challenging is is to be able to continue the hobby. Very often most people give up on fish keeping.
Reasons being:
Water - Gets contaminated too soon. Fish - All of a sudden they start dying and you’d hate to see that happen Cleanliness - Sometimes, it just becomes a burden cleaning the tank All the points above are inter-related.

I just released laptop-mode-tools version 1.56.
This release adds many goodies. We now have a better calling application to rely upon, udev. The linux kernel generates many events based on conditions. udev is a framework that acts on those events and can call-in applications based on conditions. This is something I wanted to do for laptop- mode-tools.
Power State
First was power state. The power_supply subsystem can sense changes and generate events.

So this past weekend, me and my friend, went on a drive to Yellagiri Hills. It was exciting driving on the highway in an entry level Indian car, Maruti Suzuki Alto.
Unfortunately, we couldn’t make it to the destination. 5 kilometers before the destination, while we were uphill, the car b0rke down. On one of the hair- pin bends where we had to cut down the speed to zero, switch to the 1st and 2nd gear failed.

As you must have noticed, the interface of the blog has changed. I just am in the middle of migrating to PivotX.
I started blogging around 5 yrs back. Having had my domain, I wanted to have my own blogging software. Most of the blogging tools had dependency on databases and stuff where as I was looking for something very simple while at the same time easy to use, feel and administer.
