In a totally unrelated question I have been trying to find the correct antonym for the word “Phallic”

Tooth Fairy and stuff
Aasim lost his lower two incisors. Had to be extracted as the permanent ones were already peeking from behind, to his credit he did not cry at all, and though he does not believe in tooth fairy stuff he gets to buy a lego for himself…
Circle
An Ukranian Programmer asking references of (from) an American client who in turn asks their Indian programmers to provide one.
I find this ironic to the point of being comic 🙂
Unreal Tournament 2004 demo is real kewl – unfortunately we have only one machine which is really capable of running it decently… That’s Aasim’s machine needless to say I hardly got any machine time to play it.
Lots of other things are happening about which I just can’t seem to find time enough to write about.
Among notable things – I have decided that I want a DSLR in addition to my Nikon 5700 and I also need some professional grade studio flash lights, budget Rs120000, to fund this I am starting an interesting experiment, sell customised copies of Coppermine. Lets see how it goes
Shifted to using Digikam instead of
mount /mnt/camera/ cp -r /mnt/camera/dcim/* ./
Yes now the camera is in PTP mode, instead of USB mass storage

In case you are wondering about the last item it is of great use for hanging the backdrops in a cluttered room and I can always disown it as not mine 😉
Just for the record
Our cable Internet was reconnected, the speeds are not so great but still the phone is no longer engaged… Have a whole lot of catching up to do…
I want to spend my lifetime loving you – Marc Anthony
Heroes rise, heroes fall
Rise again, win it all
In your heart, can’t you feel the glory
Through our joy, through our pain
We can move worlds again
Take my hand, dance with me
I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I will ever do
I will want nothing else to see me through
If I can spend my lifetime loving you
Matrix Recalled
Yesterday we were invited to a cocktail party which was supposed to have *the* who’s who of city’s business community. (Un)fortunately despite the best intentions of our gracious host at introductions most of the time we were kind of “Who?” but the food was very very nice and the service excellent. So sitting in relative anonymity we played our little impromptu game of “Which Matrix character is this person?” It was prompted by several young men attired in long front open dark sherwani. The funniest was all the waiters (in their similar double breasted suits) were “Agent Smith”, and yeah Trinity was FAT 🙂
We came back around midnight and watched “Chameli”, liked the movie – for once Kareena has acted rather than just looking pretty, having worked in Forensic medicine I could identify with the sob stories she feeds and the real pathos beneath that defiance of a street walker….
Aasim had opted to say with his Nani, in fact he stayed over for most of today as well…
Did a bit of photography in the morning. Have added some more lights to my collection of studio equipments for my white Bodyscapes basically tungsten bulbs of higher wattages. Need to start experimenting with more than one or two lights lighting a single scene. Also need to figure out a good way to hang the backdrops.
The afternoon was spent lazying around the house.
The evening was planned for visiting some heritage expo BUT we finally chickened out and spending the time home…
