Wonderla

Visited wonderla for the second time and it was as much fun as it was the first time around!

Hacking the kernel

Getting into linux kernel development full time. Couldn't ask for more. It's the best! And I'm having the time of my life. Hacking the source, compiling and re-compiling the kernel, setting compile time options, building kernel modules, and of course kgdb and ksymoops, i'm doing it all! Lot of studying to do though. Have to read up lots of stuff regarding interrupts, bottom halves, scheduling, networking support in the kernel and lots of other stuff but it's all good.

April fool's day pictures!

Funny funny bit

There was this man. Girl refused him. Man went abroad. Two months later girl wired him, "Come back Marvin". Man started to write out a reply; suddenly found that he couldn't remember the girl's surname; so never answered at all and lived happily ever after.

Fun with friends

Here's what ensued on Saturday, April 1st. I left my house at about 8.30 am in a Sumo Victa and went to Paddy's house(couldn't have breakfast there as I had just had it at home and was full), invited her and then we went to Swetha's house where Swetha joined us(we were also treated to some spiffing lonavla chikki!), then to Ash's house where he jumped in(and we had refreshing chilled fruit juice!), then to Latha's house(yummy mixture!)and then to Peg's house where we met Sam also so I invited both Peg and Sam there and were pleasantly surprised that Peg would be joining us too because she was down with viral fever a few days back(here we were treated to some chilled re-invigorating lime juice(Padma may disagree as she seemed a lil biffed after drinking it)).

So after taking Sam and Peg along, we proceeded to Ally's house where he was eagerly waiting for us. This was the scene where Sam was able to successfully pull off a splendid April fool prank on Swetha(details can be provided by the prankster and the prankstee(?? :-) )). A couple of incidents of chumps falling off bean bags, thrilling rocking chair rides followed by an absolutely bucking buttermilk and fruit salad served up by Ally's mom set us up for lunch. So after picking up dear old Ally we proceeded to Nandhini(Sam was pretty worked up to go here) for lunch where we met up with guess who, Karan! And things got chummier! After a filling lunch, we visited Karan's house where Sam and Ally serenaded each other with objectionable magazines in a room and "mood setting" music, Ally drank objectionable drinks and some others "questionable" Pepsi.

That was the last stop. We then started on our way back home and after dropping everyone, I reached home and gifted my dad with a Motorola L6 aka Moto SLVR!!

Pretty splendid day!
