I spent the last few weeks trying to locate an easy to setup and use weblog software.
My requirements:
- Uses a programming language I can actually understand. This is because most software I tried didn't work out of the box and needs some kind of tweeking.
- Works with postgres database. Didn't want to run two databases.
- Easy to install
I settled on PyWiki and PyBlosxom. Having weblog software integrate with wiki is really cool!
I can lift my head up when I'm sleeping on my tummy .
Made my first trip to a restaurant and a grocery store. Listened to my favorite music – BhimsenJoshi and JagjitSingh. When I see my mom, I can't stop laughing…
I found a better WikiWikiWeb tool this weekend. It's called MoinMoin and it provides a rich feature set as well as search capability.
I like to lift my right leg often and kick anything in sight. Usually my left arm is also stretched and the right arm is on my right knee.

I drew a game of chess with GM Tal Shaked in a simul exhibition held at Intel Santa Clara. GM Tal drew 3 games and won the remaining 19.
The end game was a knight and bishop vs rook and pawn, with some perpetual opportunities for white.
Enjoy the game!
A nasty disk crash sent sharma-home.net back to Dec 2002, losing most of the data created in 2003. It taught me some important lessons in data back up. Fortunately, the disk was under warranty, so I got a new one.
Configuring all the services to the same state as before is very time consuming, but it also gave me an opportunity to be more disciplined in building a server.
Happy new year!
It's a Sharp VLZ3U. I first saw it at Best buy and liked it's sleek look and the good looking LCD. When Amazon advertized it for $200 ($350 – $150 in rebates), it was too good to pass and I bought it.
Like all the other entry level camcorders, this one has a very bad low light performance. I'm thinking I should just get my old JVC fixed.
The Sharp has a reasonable (but not outstanding) performance outdoors. Bottomline: The industry is lacking good standards in describing signal to noise ratio under low light.

Update: Looks like I could've done my home work better. The VLZ3U has a gross pixel count of 680k pixels. A Sony TRV33 for example has an effective pixel count of 680k and a gross pixel count of 1 Mega pixel.
But I think I'll still keep the Sharp. It's cute and I can use it outdoors.
Hey! The tooth fairy seems to have blessed me with my first tooth, to make my gummy smile have some teeth. But I'm not ready to show it to the rest of the world just yet. Photography prohibited.
