I have a 10 month old son - and he keeps me occupied all the time I am at home -and I am at home all the time !! Whenever he is up he tries to grab the chords. He is fascinated with the optical mouse and keeps turning them upside down to see if the light is still on. He just does not get bored of it. Whenever he enters the room after a nap, or after his feeding battle - he gives a big smile. And I have to smile back at him. And of course the other times when he is doing something really crazy and I will silently smile inwardly without distracting him.  And of course all these smiling sessions will be punctuated with lot of blood curling cries - when he bangs himself on the door,wall,chair - in fact you start noticing how many hard objects are around you. And when he gets sleepy and does not want to sleep. His motor skills go for a toss and he will make any Bangalore policeman suspicious.   Someday will introduce you to him - he is a great guy :)

Morning today I woke up to see Chandrayaan lifting off on our trusty Doordarshan. What a feeling it was. There was cloud cover so did not quite get the majestic spectacle of a rocket firing on all cylinders - but instead had to watch a dull 2D representation of a dot moving through a graph paper with the rockets speed slowly increasing - 4.8Km/s and so on.. A few minutes after launch when all the boosters had done their job, and the satellite was safely tucked away in orbit around the earth a mic was put and all the scientists got behind it and one by one started congrajulating their team. The 3rd to speak was one gentleman who was so emotional that he said " i dont know what to say " and his eyes were moist. And he did went on to congrajulate all his team members. I was waiting for some sound bite where some scientist will say take that you NASA or take that for calling us land of snake charmers and call centers - but none. All of them were such sophisticated gentlemen and ...

I have every reason to be proud of India. A mission to the moon. I am awaiting eagerly for this historic lift off tomorrow. When the rovers scooped dirt on Mars I was proud to be a human being - from swinging from branch to branch - and now to hopping planets  - what a giant leap mankind has taken. Also was teeny weeny jealous of NASA for having achieved such a big feat But when a Made in India  metal starts orbitting the moon, it will be doubly special. We have squeezed a rocket from pinching poverty, corrupt netas, terrorism, border disputes, pollution, suppression of minorities - it is an endless list. But for the common man beaten up by all these bad elements - the lift off will be one uplifing feeling - to encourage him to fight off all these cancers and rise above the clouds to achieve bigger things.  ISRO - a salute to have dared to think beyond 36,000KMs. What is next?

I was researching on a ajaxy table edit and stumbled upon this useful site - ajaxdaddy.com

The server is kind of up - not yet open to the public but the bots know about it already.  I always keep checking the error logs for such abnormalities.It helps a great deal if you clean all the warning messages your Application is throwing - this way the errors that come up in error logs are genuine and you can monitor your server better. Wondering if I should invest some time in a script to have a look at these logs - see if a "file does not exist" error happens in error_log and then take the ip address and see what got accessed in access_log - to see if the system is compromised. On the below code scroll to the right to see the bot's probes.

Senator Obama and Senator Mc Cain meet each other on the eve of the November Elections. Both are in a generous mood. BO : Hey John. I thought a lot about the past few months and I want to apologize for all the things I told about you. JC :  Same here. I too want to apologize. I should have treated  you like one of my grand sons.  OB : Anyway, coming to the heart of the matter, I want to withdraw from the Presidential race. JC : Hain?  You crazy or what. You are leading the charts, go ahead it is your cake. Eat it. OB : Well I think only you can handle the economy and war and all that. I am still a bachoo you see compared to you. So please become the President. JC : My dear grand son listen to me. I do not want any part of it. I just joined the Presidential race because I was bored. The Bushs had made sure no republican will ever win the election in his lifetime.  I joined the race because lot of people are dependent on this circus - media, my friend Bill O'Reilly..and also my autob...
