At times you get these weird dreams that are so unreal that you actually end up remembering them after you are awake. At least the skeleton of the plot.
I watched Shutter Island yesterday night. Brilliant movie, totally recommended. Read the wanderlust’s review of the film here.
Anyway, later that night, when I slept I got a [...]

At times, I end up having interesting conversations with the salesmen who try to sell credit card and other services over the phone.I have been too lazy to add my number into the Do-not-disturb registry. I should do it soon.
Anyway, the credit card ones are usually easy to handle. I just tell them I have [...]

Last year, around the same time, I had ranted about this function named find_busiest_group() in kernel/sched.c. This is one humongous function which can so easily scare the sh*t out of any programmer who sees it for the first time.

I have been living out of my suitcase for the last one week. First I travelled to NMAM Institute of Technology, Nitte to deliver a talk on Virtualization at the 22nd Computer Society of India (CSI) Karnataka Convention.

I [...]

So, I finally have all things at one place. My website, my Blog and all my blog posts. I must thank Sathya for the inspiration to undertake this fun task.
So, how does just about anybody go about buying some domain space, getting a shiny new domain name, then creating wordpress blog and finally migrating stuff [...]

I moved to Fedora 9 last week, and things have been working great, except for my vim, which yelled everytime I tried opening a file:
————————————————-
ego@sofia:~$ vim ~/.vimrc
Error detected while processing /home/ego/.vimrc:
line   10:
E563: stat(./cscope.out) error: 2

Had been to the inaugural Indian Premier League T20 match today at the Chinnaswamy Stadium Bangalore. The experience was a mixed bag with few highs and lot of lows.
Me and Pradeep reached the stadium at 4:00 PM, though the inaugural ceremony was only starting at 6:00PM. We reasoned out that since there were no seat [...]
