Filed under: General — Praveen Kumar @ 2:04 pm

I am going home (Tiruvannamalai) today after a couple of months. Tomorrow is my grandparents’ 50th marriage anniversary. We planned to go to Tiruvannamali temple and do a small pooja. I am just going to attend it. I will be back at Bangalore by tomorrow evening.

Settled with the IRC nick for FreeNode - prav33n

Filed under: General, Internet — Praveen Kumar @ 12:08 pm

After a long thoughts, I have settled with the IRC nick prav33n for FreeNode. It was not registered luckily and I have registered it. Because of the unavailabilty of my usual nick ‘rocky’ on FreeNode, I was forced to do this. As a result, I am now prav33n on GimpNet as well.

This is how you could be misunderstood on IRC!

Filed under: Humor, Internet — Praveen Kumar @ 9:43 am

Here some IRC snippets that I have recently read from bash.org

<anamexis> oh man
<anamexis> I was opening a coke, right
--> Beefpile (~mbeefpile@cloaked.wi.rr.com) has joined #themacmind
<anamexis> and it exploded
<anamexis> ALMOST all over my keyboard
<anamexis> but I got it away just in time
<-- Beefpile has quit (sick fuckers)
<anamexis> :<

IRC users should really be careful that you are not misunderstood by a late comer in the thread ;-)

Also, be clear on your questions. Else, you will be pissed off like this!

<mage> what should I give sister for unzipping?
<Kevyn> Um. Ten bucks?
<mage> no I mean like, WinZip?

And this is how people really misunderstand the topic sometimes ;-)

*** Topic in #doghouse is 'Our hearts are extended to the 17 victims of the recent internet fraud'
* Anubis has joined #doghouse
<Anubis> what fraud?
<Kadmium> You haven't heard about it?
<Anubis> no?
<Kadmium> You can read the full story at http://www.tubgirl.com
<Anubis> omg wtf!
*** Kadmium changes topic to 'Our hearts are extended to the 18 victims of the recent internet fraud'

But, girls always find problems with facts and figures no matter how clear you state something ;-)

<Sui88> 67% of girls are stupid
<V-girl> i belong with the other 13%

Most of the begginers are annoyed with the acronyms that are used. Not understanding the acronyms will lead you to the height of frustration like this!

<studdud> what the fuck is wtf?

Some people give smart ideas so that you don’t misunderstand the way of doing it, but you don’t understand the whole idea by itself.

<reo4k> just type /quit whoever, and it'll quit them from irc
* luckyb1tch has quit IRC (r`heaven)
* r3devl has quit IRC (r`heaven)
* sasopi has quit IRC (r`heaven)
* phhhfft has quit IRC (r`heaven)
* blackersnake has quit IRC (r`heaven)
<ibaN`reo4k[ex]> that's gotta hurt
<r`heaven> :( 

A busy week

Filed under: General — Praveen Kumar @ 8:55 am

It was a busy week altogether. Development of new features for Evolution 2.4 kept me fully accoupied throughout this week. I bought my new guitar on last Sunday and there will be a separate post on that topic! Otherwise, this post is to just remind that I am alive.

I have recieved a mail from one of my friends about a free laptop offer. He wanted me to signup at GustoNetwork as a referral of his. I signed up to give a try. It needs 18 referrals to complete the request. Here is the link for signing up. Ofcourse, you are my referral ;-)

Debian Web Collage Screensaver; Porn on Debian?

Filed under: Desktop Environments, GNU/Linux, Internet — Praveen Kumar @ 10:29 am

There is a new screen saver that is introduced in Sarge, which initiated a flame war at a Debian mailing list. The screen saver is named “Web Collage”, which takes images from the web by random search. The problem is that a lot of porn also comes along with the other images. A default install of KDE would be using random screensaver. At some point the Web Collage saver might be used and you may get a porn on your screen. So, don’t get shocked; prepare to enjoy the fun or tweak the settings for saving your head from your boss!
