Visited Bangalore and returned on Sunday.
Was a good trip. I trained Bangalore accountants in my company on Oracle Financials
Hope to go again some time in Feb. I am more hopeful on a trip to our branches in Kolkata and Nagpur, hope they materialise.
Could not read even a word of the "Learning Perl" book I had taken along to Bangalore.
I read some 10 pages of "The Alchemist" in Bangalore.
In turn I bought 8 books on computers mainly relating to Unix and Linux.
I dont when I will read them or where I will keep it.
Books worth Rs.3300/- bought in Jan 05 itself.
Month end time no mood after the trip to Bangalore.

Human mind-remains unexplored unexplained
My mothers Aunt who stays at the same place where we stay was admitted to the hospital due to suspected paralysis and other complications. We came to know about this on 14th Jan 05.
She is an old lady of 93 years old. I have never seen her ill during my lifetime. She has always remained active with the odd aging problems.
I came to know of this while I was working in my office. There was a little bit of tense feeling me because of the age at which she was suffering.
My mother immediately visited her in the hospital and the same day evening when I came back home from office my mother told me that she was alright and would improve in days to come.
The above sentence just had the right effect on my mind and I really did not think about my granny
right from Friday thru Tuesday.
On Tuesday night I came to know that she had a stroke and had been taken in Intensive care and she was at a critical stage.
This same sentence had a drastic effect on my mind and I again started to think otherwise and this also affected my work.
On Wednesday I visited her and that day I could not concentrate on work.
Death is an integral part of the package called life yet when it stalks our near and dear ones we fear.
Just 2 words had my mind work and think differently.

UBUNTU
Loaded Ubuntu Linux on my PCNow I triple boot Win Xp/Slack9.1(2.4.22) and Ubuntu.
It was a real sleek install. No problems whatsoever.Some issues still need to be sorted out in Gnome.
Some progs do not open.
I am used to the CLI and my favourite Midnight commander.
Ubuntu directly opens a GUI with Gnome 2.8.0.
I need to change the background but do not know how to mount my FAT32 drive.
I am not able to login to CLI.
What is the root password ?????????.
I was planning to try out FC3 but getting the CD's will take time.
The ubuntu site has a shipit link and ships the no. of cd's for free.I had logged in and entered my name almost a month back and I got the cd's yesterday.Want to keep this setup for some time and may be will start learning networking in the near future.
