Same old story

Nothing worthy to mention. I was preoccupied with my month end last week. Also Oracle Financials AR implementation was catching up speed. Did not get time to pursue other interests.

1. Going to Nagpur again and this time it is Saturday and Sunday.
2. All plans and schedules made in my prior post have not materialised.
3. Atleast I am reading "Da Vinci Code" every day regularly.
4. I am going for 2 days only so want to travel lite. Unnecessary load like books to be avoided as I know there is not much time to read as I will reach back in the Hotel after 12.00 am
5. Logged on to IRC thru Mirc more than before.
6. Found that Gentoo and Debian are the most popular on Freenode and of course Ubuntu is there in the top 10
7. Managed to ask questions on IRC regarding modem detetction and direct booting to CLI instead of GUI and got good answers
8. Synaptic started working this morning. Even though Ubuntu is a very solid distro a old Slack user like me is desperate for that Slack login. I do not have Slack anymore on my PC. I need Slack desperately. I have slack 9.1 CD's need the latest i.e 10.0 or 10.1
9. No time to do anything as per plan as after office have to be with my kid, So take life as it comes.
10. Which book to carry tommorow? Maybe "Da Vinci" or some techie book?????
11. When I visited Distrowatch site last there were some 400 odd distros tracked. I wondered how many people used or tried more than at least 10. But suddenly I realised that whatever the distro is based upon it is different. So Ubuntu,Knoppix are not pure Debian.
12. The open source seems to move at jet speed and I am a sloth.
13. Gnome 2.10 was released
14. I got FC3 cd's from a friend and still have to try it.
15. Thinking of buying a CD-R/DVD combo drive.
16. Really need some free time to re-organise myself

Thats it.............
