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.

It's A Most Magical Time Of Year

Yesterday was Akshaya Trtiya (Akkha Trij in Gujarati.) It is notable for being auspicious all day long, one of only 4 days in the year when you don't have to look at the muhurta. I did Lakshmi puja (kanakadhara stotra patha) and began several new projects which I will blog about soon.

But the real reason boys and girls love Akshaya Trtiya is it is the day when Akshaya Trtiya Akshaya brings presents to all the good children. This year I got Feisty Fawn from Kubuntu, a six-in-one games set for drinking about 20 gallons of Coke Zero courtesy of mycokerewards.com, and some Philip K. Dick books for winning a caption contest on a blog.

All is not well. There are some atheist secularist communists who claim that Akshaya Trtiya Akshaya doesn't exist and people should refer to the day as "Thursday." Well boo to you I say. Boooooooooo!
