When much was said about Malya's Royal Challengers team being a test team, there could have been some immediate damage control. Instead the team composition sailed half way through the tournament tasting flops with the likes of Joshi (!!), AnilKumble (!) and Kallis. They might be classy cricketers, but the lack of aggression in a T20 scenario is conspicuous. Was it Dravid's overconfidence that did them in?

Lesson Learnt: Before upgrading php5...

Congrats on a 100!
Ok, this post is dedicated to Shivu who has been blogging these days about GNU/Linux in Kannada explaining in simple language that caters to non-technical users. This work of his would be of immense value to the Kannada community in coming days.
Turns out that he's also reached a milestone on his English blog, reaching hundred posts that also have some very useful information. Congratulations, Shiv!
Protest in front of Town Hall for Document Freedom
"It was quite a silent protest kaNo. Very different kind of protest." - a friend who took part was mentioning on phone. Protest here usually is shouting slogans for most part, if not violent.
The protest organized by FSUG and FCI seems to have attracted a lot of deserved attention, despite the hurried execution.
The Hindu observed:
Holding placards which demand Document Freedom and ask for a national policy on this issue, the protesters label the recent document standard called OOXML — which was adopted by the International Standardisation Organisation on April 2 — a “banana standard.”
(Rest of the article is here.)
Kudos to the organizing team.
GNU/Linux Habba on 'The Hindu'
The Hindu carried a story about GNU/Linux Habba on April 16, 2008 (Page 2, Bangalore City).
GNU/Linux Habba has a website of its own!
GNU/Linux Habba now has a website of its own. Visit:
We believe that a dedicated website for this event that logs the activity might inspire more events like this. We intend to share the space on the website and showcase any GNU/Linux installation festivals happening in the state of Karnataka.
The photo gallery has been updated with photos of Volunteers meet held last week. The website would also be home for blogs by volunteers involved in the event, sharing their experience.
