Independence Day in the Capital....

I have been here for quite a time without any quality work. or should i say work. Well, then i can always invent some on my own. and that is what i did. I did create some ant build scripts for some of my taks, to make my job easy. but still it is too boring, the scrpts did not even give me a little challenge.

Am just getting bored in Delhi... I don't know what i will do the next two days. The capital is closed for the day, all borders have been sealed since yesterday night, Trafic was worse yesterday, very less number of buses and autos. It was a contest to catch a auto last night, which i was enjoying in the rain. it took us nearly half hour to get a auto. Coming back, to day is the independence day of my country, and the capital has been locked down. The day the country got freedom, we are in a house arrests (kinda). it is boring

Fiddled with suse here from morning and made the Internet working, I still don;t know what the problem is, the internet was not working for the past 2 weeks and the fucking windows went down during the installation of SUSE, saying hal.dll missing or corrupt. and the very next day the internet stopped working in SUSE. we were just baffled. we were not having the correct settings to connect to internet. so we decided to take the settings from the windows installation which was not working. to do this we need to repair windows. it took us the whole week to get a windows installation disk.

But before we could lay our hands on the windows installation disk, the CTO who lives with us in the guest house, locked down the modem and the bios preventing us from booting thru d. Now with this idiot, i had to striggle thru this week till i made internet connectivity this morning....

The CTO talkes big things about linux, but he is against installing linux in the guest house machine (we just tried dual boot) and moreove, he was also not interested in getting the system into proper shape. he was preventing us from correcting the system, and also he was also not making any efforts to make it work properly, or not even calling the service guy to do his job, This sucks. He is holding on to many a information and is not open to others suggestions, and he says he is a follower of open source. These guys suck. i do not want to be among these people. but god forbid, i am here working in here, along with these people. This just sucks....

Any way aprt from the rantings, we did go our to cetain places in the capital. and as usual i have some pictures to share. they have been uploaded to picasa. you can find the links in the side bar, a little down.

Independence day when we got freedom in 1947, and that makes the people to be home of the fear of some thing like a bomb blast and stiff in this age.. and this sucks...

Anyway. Enjoy and have a nice day...
