Where Have I been

Well.. have you been visiting here, and realised this site has not been updated.... hmmm...since january.. Well where has G disappeared. My columns have been regularly appearing in Indian express and sadly I have personally not had any time to update this blog, and I take a vow on updating this atleast once a week now, If not personally then maybe Taruneet (yes.. he is a contributor.. though only one contribution) can help me out. He has also been busy with his 12th boards..

So where was I ?

Well Since January of this year, my company tried to restructure a solutions department and work on Thin clients and Linux roll outs. Yes I have been a big believer in Linux but I am not a Microsoft hater. I just find Linux to be a bit more stable and secure when it comes to servers, but Personally speaking I will not deploy Linux servers at a customer end till I am dead sure of their IT manpower, windows is easier.. slick.. faster to deploy, easier to maintain, though they need a lot more heavy hardware. (The point of discussion of this post is not to do a Linux v/s Windows comparitive).

Due to this, change and me changing my Desktop to a Linux Workstation (Yes, I swapped out the Hard Disk out of My IBM Box, and put in an 80 GB Hard Disk, and am installing Various flavours of Linux both Paid / OSS and choosing the one I want to stick to... all this has kept me on my shoes reading, and testing, and sadly all my passwords that were saved in the browser were all on the Windows Disk.... so I went underground).

So now you know where I was.. Well wait for a day or so, and you will get an update of what I tried, and what I finally am, I have to take my decision by 1st May, and get back into production mode.. else.. Windows here I come..

Where have I been.. where am I going.. the life .. is a journey.. a slow.. tedious one... here i come my world..

watch this spot.. this g-spot.
