Yup , its my birthday, and i have now completed 29 years of age, feel old. hehe , not really , first thoughts in the morning were, wtf have i been doing all my life, not accomplished anything, then i saw my wife and felt relaxed again, marrying was the best thing i have done in my life and im not looking out to top that , so went back to sleep for another half an hour till my mom woke me up , wished me and gifted me a 3 series Tintin comic book, wo!, that was something , i had even forgotten that i used to read comics, really brought back a lot of good memories of the days when i would stalk all second hand book shops and the library in my building called keith’s book shack, man, that keith’s book shack was the primary source of my education, haha, that Uncle ( owner of the book shack, in india everyone elder to you is a uncle, im called uncle nowadays) would grumble as i would sit in his own shop and read all his comics without paying for them, but he would never stop me , nor did his children who would relieve him during the afternoons and late evenings . so many summer afternoons spent there, phantom, mandrake the magician , flash gordon, mad comics, tintin, asterix,war and western comics,mandy comics, ( ya i used to read those too), enid blyton, hardy boys, nancy drew, famous five, secret seven and then on to . sidney sheldon, ken follet and my long time favourite , the great robert ludlum. nowadays i read rarely the last four novels were all Salman Rushdie ones . He pretty much is my second favourite author after Joseph Heller, Oh, Joseph Heller , Catch -22 saved my life, i learnt to laugh at myself because of that book , second favourite book would be God knows.Oh Man the younger days when all i would do was watch star world on T.V ( simpsons, titus, frasier, futurama are my all time favourite shows) and read books and comics, then i joined college and got corrupted with booze and smokes and rock shows and a general shoot myself in the foot attitude, but everything i guess was worth it .
No work on the dynataz frontend at all, on the slitaz frontend, added the qt libraries in the slitaz repositories and a few more programs, gns3 comes up fine but i cant see any graphics. Im just too busy in my actual office work which itself is not bad, wrote a shell script to backup cisco routers having a snmp rw string to folders with the company name and location, i am continuing now on it as i have to show a web interface for the same, which i intend to do with awk and bash, i have downloaded awkiawki and nanoblogger plus im reading upon the networking with awk manual to get a hang of it, also i wrote a few scripts in bash which would login to a router and get its version info, cut out the parts we dont need and send it to a text file, another script which which will troubleshoot a link which is down within a mpls vrf, now this is very interesting. if i complete it , its going to be of tremendous use within my company, Once all this over, ill be back to dynataz and maybe ….just a teeny weeny maybe….. a attempt at the ccie service provider qual.
Bye then.
