Effects
Sunday. Snore….. Been a bit of a weird week. Star Trek Voyager wrapped around, and started from episode 1. The difference is phenomenal – all characters seem to be made of cardboard, and the storylines are too corny to be true. Having just seen the last episode of the series, I could really appreciate how [...]
Goodbye, and hello
Well, last night, Voyager came to an end. Part II of “Endgame” was a bit of a letdown as well – it looks like the script writers were in a big hurry to get it over and done with. Apart from Ensign Kim’s speech on loyalty and duty, there was really nothing overly memorable there, [...]
Offline Agony
Argh! Saturday, both the phone lines at home died. So no connectivity *at all* over the weekend! Life is cruel! Yesterday, watched part 1 of “Endgame” – the conclusion of the Startrek Voyager series. Having read the episode story before, I frankly expected a bit more – this was one case of the post-episode writeup [...]
Perfect Strangeness
Exciting. I manage to update the diary only once a week these days! Bad! The eye infection went away rapidly after we figured out it was really a small boil – when treated, it quickly went away. Hurray for antibiotics! Had the April meet of the Bangalore Linux User Group today. After a long time, [...]
Eye for an Eye
Eye infection still keeps me occupied painfully. Yesterday I went to office, which appears to have been a mistake, since I woke up this morning with my right eye swollen shut. As Gopi pointed out, with me being one-eyed, and a mate named Shubha, one wonders how long it will be before people make an [...]
Ping
No updates because I am suffering from an eye infection, and it is rather painful.
The day after
Don’t speak to me. I can’t hear you. Can’t feel you. Am comfortably numb. Read all about the Roger Waters’ concert
Get some rest
One of those days. Nothing went right in office, and by lunchtime, I had a sinusitis to kill me. Went home. Still no pictures of the kittens, though they have now been moved into a secure and shaded balcony where the dog can’t get at them, but the cat can. They are getting more adventurous [...]
Cathouse
The big news of the day: Early this morning, Shubha suddenly screamed from downstairs, urging me to come down *immediately*. I fell out of bed and down the stairs, to see… Honey the Cat in the drawing room, with her two kittens! Finally! One of them looks exactly like Honey, the other one is orange/brown [...]
Real Bands
Hmmm, been a bad boy. Been absconding from diary maintenance since Friday. Not that anything major has been happening. The office is duely airconditioned, and it is finally possible to work again without dissolving in a sorry-looking puddle. I function much better at 22 degrees Centigrade than at 35. Lots of photographs over the weekend [...]
