Today is our 16th wedding anniversary, but we are all way too busy to do anything about it. Hopefully will be able to make up for it next weekend – in Goa.

Update on my father-in-law (since so many people asked) – after major vascular surgery and a minor heart attack, he is now recovering nicely, and we hope to see him discharged from the hospital over the next day or two.

For those of you who are in Bangalore and into Linux (or just dig my deep baritone voice – tune into RadioCity FM91 this evening at 6pm to hear me fielding questions about Linux and OpenSource for about an hour.

Wednesday I leave for Goa for the SALIS program, and after that I will stay there for a few days to get some R&R – I should be back around the 5th.

Since my notebook acquisition process failed completely when the vendor with whom I placed the order with 100% advance came back 10 days later saying they can’t deliver because they don’t have it in stock anymore, there will be few (if any) updates here until I return. This applies to e-mail as well – if you don’t get a reply from me, you know why. I’ll catch up when I get back.
