About La Salle Debain

This is a weblog I'm keeping about my work on Debian and any other useful Debian related info I come across. It is not meant to compete with other news sources like Debian Weekly News or Debian Planet. Mostly it is just a way for me to classify and remember all the random bits of information that I have floating around me. I thought maybe by using a blog it could be of some use to others too. Btw. "I" refers to Jaldhar H. Vyas, Debian developer for over 8 years. If you want to know more about me, my home page is here.

The name? Debain is a very common misspelling of Debian and la salle de bains means bathroom in French.

If you have a comment to make on something you read here, feel free to write to me at jaldhar@debian.org.

You can get an rss 0.91 feed of the blog here.

Congrajulation

Congrajulation Although my daughter Shailaja has technically been attending preschool for a year, her class hasn't been doing much in the way of academics though I suppose they have learnt some valuable life skills such as the social unacceptability of lifting your dress up over your head. From next a year a more ambitious program of instruction is to be attempted.

It was felt that some sort of graduation ceremony (or congrajulation as Shailaja calls it) was in order and this Friday morning my wife and I joined the other parents for the proceedings. Unfortunately, although we were beaming with pride, the general reaction amongst the children was confusion and terror. Not Shailaja as she already has extensive experience of participating in ceremonies and rituals. But the other children it seems do not. After 45 minutes of hair pulling, screaming freakouts and pants wetting, everyone was successfully gradulated and pizza and fruit punch were served.

The picture shows Shailaja with her teachers Miss Shaheena and Miss Viviana.
