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.

The Anaclepses of Darwin Fenderman

Nanowrimo winner 2010

I've been participating in National Novel Writing Month for several years now but this is the first time I've actually managed to complete writing 50,000 words in one month. My Science Fiction novel "The Anaclepses of Darwin Fenderman" is set in a future where the last individualist must fight for free will against, robots, telepathic dogs, and Phillip K. Dick.

It came out fairly well I think considering the haste in which it was written. Of course here's a hell of a lot of clean up that needs to be done before I can dare to show anyone else but in the coming months I want to see if I can get it into a fit state for publishing. Meanwhile, here's a teaser:

"Where is it then?"
"Out there somewhere.", he said gesturing vaguely at the window.
"Beyond the Hudson? But there's nothing but wasteland out there."
