What some of the other people are doing….

I thought I’d take a break from my ego-centric rambling and share a little bit about what other people are doing…. Amy’s busy creating her own website, hosted at http://www.tnsms.org. No, it’s not about text messages from your Tamil Nadu mobile phone; it’s an abbreviation for “Tamil Nadu Socioeconomic Mobility Survey.” Just putting the site [...]

13 years

On Saturday, Amy and I celebrated the 13-year anniversary of our “first date” by going to Kodaikanal for the day. Pretty fun, but nothing much to report, except for a few silly pictures:

Google Page Creator is gone….

And, they didn’t do such a great job of transferring the Google Page Creator content to Google Sites. So, I’ve decided to delete the content from Google Page Creator and transfer it here instead. This site has so much random content already; four more random articles shouldn’t make too much of a difference. Read on [...]

Disappearing Photos

I was looking through my posts the other day and I just realized that somehow, my Gallery2 installation totally disappeared. What that means, unfortunately, is that there are a whole bunch of old posts (like my 2007 India Vacation posts) which have a whole bunch of broken links. Browsing through my file manager, I found [...]

Mr Grumpy’s 2009 “How-to-write” calendar

Over the past few weeks, everyone has been going calendar crazy. I mean EVERYONE. I was sitting in meetings with colleagues trying to write “messages” and then find the right pictures to go with the calendar they were making. Amy was asking me how to edit some of her photos so that they would look [...]

“Self portraits” aka “The end of an era”

It’s the end of an era, I guess. My trademark is no more. I’m serious. It’s gone. My built-in cat-toy… my man-leash…—whatever you want to call that strange braided patch of long hair that I have had for what? Fifteen years?—met its fate with a pair of scissors on Sunday, March 23, 2008. Seeing that [...]

Enter the Sultan…

So, as you can see, I’ve fallen behind on my postings of the Indian vacation by a few days. I just haven’t had time to rename, resize, and upload more photos. Part of it is the same old boring story of having a lot of work to do—especially now that CMF is getting ready to [...]

Three Point Five

Yesterday was the three-and-a-half-year anniversary of my getting married to Amy! Pretty exciting! (At least for me, but I always tend to get excited by these monthly anniversaries that we get to celebrate).

What’s been going on….

So, it has been sort of refreshingly quiet the last few weeks. Mostly, it’s because I’m not in a class at the moment, but that should change by Tuesday. There was some problem processing my financial aid application, so they delayed the start date of my class for a couple of weeks, so this has [...]

WordPress Upgrade Done, and Vacation Stories to Come

So, I just upgraded my WordPress installation, and that seems like a good enough excuse to stop being lazy and start back posting some stories here. Actually, I haven’t really been lazy—just busy. First, it was the holidays—Christmas and New Years. Then, it was lots of school and getting ready for the big Indian vacation [...]
