Happiness .....

My wife and I were in Burlington coat factory today and she finally found a pair of gloves that fits her stringent requirements. Her joy knew no bounds. I've never seen anyone so truly happy. She has been wearing them since we got out of the store and haven't taken them off. Its been more than 4 hours.

Reminds me of the time, I got my first bokken and carried it around everywhere. It was with me at all times, I had it while I was eating, playing, computering, walking around aimlessly etc.  I even remember the threats she made if I brought the bokken with me to the bed and how I promptly ignored her and paid the price. Good times...

Shopping for India Trip

I'm getting ready for the India Trip in January and it is one hectic process. I'm getting all these gifts for my parents, brothers, cousins, uncles and the list keeps on growing. Perils of having a large loving family. One of these days, I'm going to make enough money to get all of them the gifts that I really want to give. 

One of these days....

Hands on Intro - Git

Today I presented in the Salt Lake Linux User Group meeting. The topic was "Hands on Intro - Git". It went well and I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. I choked twice once while trying to explain how to git apply patches that you receive via email, but then recovered from it with some help from the audience. But the second time I choked while trying to explain how to pull from multiple remote repositories, I couldn't recover from that. I do that so rarely it never occurred to me. Oh well, the first time is the hardest.

 
Off to prepare for the talk tomorrow at the Utah Python Group. I'm presenting "Hands on Into - PyQt4". 
 
Here are the slides from that talk. LaTeX Source: https://github.com/amjith/git_present 

 

Exhausted

My body is aching from Hapkido. My head hurts from the constant context-switching. My brain is tired from the messy debugging I had to do at work. 

But life must go on. 

I have to prepare two different presentations for next week. A Git presentation for the Linux User Group and a PyQt4 presentation for the UtahPython Group. I think I can manage it. 

But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep. 

Back from Thanksgiving

We went to Bryce and Zions for Thanksgiving weekend. It was beautiful and freezing. I think at one time, the car thermometer read 2 degrees Fahrenheit. But we had a lot of fun. I found out that I'm really good at pictionary, well not at winning but making people break into paroxysms of laughter.

Well everyone has a different talent.
