Build woes and music nostalgia

I awoke this morning again at a horrific 9:40 am – an incident which

has convinced me to believe that I am quite incapable of being a

regular guy who gets up at 7:30 or 8:00 am during the semester :-)

Surprisingly enough, during the summer I was always up by 8 !

And what did I do all morning ? I broke my head alongwith Binny in

getting some software to just compile on his Solaris box. Can

you believe that, all morning just trying to compile

something ! And the stupid makefiles are so badly done that in the

end, having met with absolutely zero success, I abused the authors in

a manner which would have made even a sailor blush. Bah.

Headed home around 7 pm today – relaxed by cleaning up around the

place, cooking and listening to my ‘Sting and the Police – Best Of’

CD. It brought back memories of our Ganga band doing songs and all the

fun we had in the music room – guess that won’t happen ever again :-)

Read in the Times of India that India had lost 1000 crores in business

revenue thanks to the nationwide bandh called by the Hindu fanatics. I

can understand the anger but why bring the nation to a halt ?

Oh and this business of giving each blog entry a title is really

giving me a tough time – I need to come up with a different name

everyday ! Help !
