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.

Classic Spock > Emo Spock

The original plan was to see the new Star Trek film on Mothers Day being the incurable romantic that I am but it didn't work out so we ended up going today instead.

Overall we liked the film. It's best not to think about the plot too deeply or it will implode like red matter. (Red matter??? Are my children the scientists of the future? "I hereby name this new element Ballerinium") Anyway lots of jokes and explosions to keep your mind away from those kind of thoughts. As the title of this post suggests, I am not too fond of what they did with the Spock character. (Uhura Spock? Highly illogical.) The new Kirk is spot on as the green-alien-banging douchebag (amirite Uhura?) we know and love. And Chekhov, Scottie, and McCoy were great. The bad guy wasn't really that bad I thought. I hope they make the aliens badder and more alien in the inevitable sequels.
