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.

National Novel Writing Month

Is November. participants have 30 days to write a novel atleast 50,000 words long. I'm going to try it. My novel is a science fiction story provisionally titled "Man's Best Friend." A time traveller arrives in the distant future where men and dogs are basically the only species left. Humanity has evolved to incredible levels of intelligence but a side effect is a total inability to concentrate. Meanwhile dogs' empathy has evolved to a kind of telepathy. Being more practical, they rule society but due to the lack of opposable thumbs are forced to keep the humans around. Then something happens (I guess I should think about this quick!) to upset the balance of power and only the man from the past can save the day.
