The latest kernel upload (2.6.32-16) brings goodies to SystemTap in Debian.
This version has added support for kprobes, on which systemtap has a major
dependency, for many of its features.
Most of the systemtap instrumentation should work now and all of this will be
part of the Squeeze release. Instrumenting the kernel modules still needs some
work (DBTS: #555549) but can be done.

First you go unethical by forcing users (stating security concerns) to upgrade
to a newer firmware. And then, you don’t even do a good QA on the firmware you
release. It clearly looks you were in a hurry to strip off the “Other OS”
feature.
I lost all my gameplay in the firmware upgrade.

The blog entry is about the F word.
What the fuck? You don’t know what the F word is. Sigh!!!
Mea Culpa! Not your fault. It is quite offensive, no? More offensive than BC, MC, BsdK, LkB ?These are some of the usual terms used in our local derived languages in all its locally derived richness.
The word Fuck, many times, either from people with authority (HR) or the receiver, is termed and reacted to as a very offensive term.

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.

I just uploaded apt-offline version
0.9.8 to sid. Hopefully this is the one that would be part of squeeze. For
those who still arent aware of apt-offline, it is an Offline Package Manager
for apt.
I wrote a small [howto](http://www.debian-
administration.org/article/Offline_Package_Management_for_APT) that can give
more details about it.

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.

It is holiday time and so finally time to installing Debian onto the Sony PS3 box. The installation was smooth as most of the stuff is already documented. The Debian Installer has all the support needed, to install onto the Sony PS3. As of now the only thing not working perfectly is the boot loader. It seems to be taking default is the kernel that was booted last. Even if I change the default in /etc/kboot.

Paranormal Activity
It is a Gem in the Horror genre.
If you are not much used to horror movies, don’t watch it. It will scare the
shit out of you.
OTOH, if you enjoy horror and would like to see it, please not alone. I did
that mistake.
