Unique palace I been to. Not much grandeur/showoff in terms of architecture yet elegant and sophisticated.

The one with the drawing.

First drawing in a long time! Thanks to a boot-camp at work which re-kindled my love for drawing.

Software versions

Mid 2008

There was lot of campaigning to create a record downloads for Firefox 3.0 in 24 hours. Like everybody else I upgraded on that day. It was a successful campaign.

Later that year …

Chrome debuted. Though it was missing many features and extensions, I loved the look and feel of the browser. I started to use both Chrome and Firefox for more than a year.

Early 2011

Chrome is my primary browser now. I heard about release of FF4 from a friend of mine who went to a FF4 launch party. I played around with it and I am sure it has improved a ton but -

it’s not Chrome!

Today

I was checking how some scripts will work in FF and I got a popup asking to upgrade to FF8!!! I am very surprised at so many major releases in the last eight months. What ever happened to minor version number?

The other day I also found out Fedora is at 16. Last one I used was 10 and then moved to Ubuntu more than a year back.

With so many releases - I wonder if major version numbers of software make sense anymore. Perhaps one should consider time based version numbers - include year/month/ in major version to keep track of progress.

What do you think?

For git-branch aware PS1 in your terminal add the following to .bashrc

function git_branch() {

git branch 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e 's/* $.*$/(\1)/'

}

PS1="\e[0;31m@\H: \e[1;37m\w\e[01;32m\$(git_branch)\e[0;0m\]:\n$"

Orbiting sun at a distance of roughly ninety-eight million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think throwing birds at pigs is a neat idea.
