New GPG Key

Thursday 06 August 2009 at 3:06 pm

Given the recent switch to a stronger key by everyone, here's mine.

The old key that I'll still keep using till I get the new key signed by a good amount of people.

pub   1024D/04F130BC 2003-08-18
      Key fingerprint = CF0F EDEF 1052 83D2 62A4  0549 E118 62EA 04F1 30BC

 And here's the new key, that's been duly signed with the above old key.

KDE4

Saturday 12 January 2008 at 5:23 pm

 
 
 
KDE 4.0 is out
 
 
Despite all the FUD that KDE4 won't stay up to the expectations of the users, I must say KDE4 has impressed me a lot. It is definitely a lot more faster than KDE 3.
The shiny new desktop with all the new core technologies of KDE 4 and the new visual effects (kwin, plasma, oxygen), all make KDE 4 the best.
Go ahead and install. It is wonderful.
 
 
PS: The KDE 4 Debian packages are available in experimental. The Debian KDE Team has done a fabulous job in bringing them in time with great quality. Thank you.

Head Shave

Mobiking Revisited

Friday 19 October 2007 at 02:22 am

It has been around 5 yrs when I suffered a broken collar bone in a road accident on my bike.

My take since then had been to avoid biking in Indian City Roads. But I finally gave up on it because I realised how much I really missed avoiding it.

So here I am, back to biking.

I wanted to start up again with a bike which would be:

  • Steady on the roads.
  • Would definitely have a sporty look.
  • Would be Mr. Unshakable and Mr. Reliable

Amongst the Indian bikes in the market today, the best I could find to my requirements was the Bajaj Pulsar 200 DTS-i.

Not the best Sport Bike, but definitely is one of the best available in the Indian market.

PS: I really liked the rear wide tyres which provide extra grip on the roads.

Happy Biking!

My APT Repositoy

Friday 20 April 2007 at 4:22 pm

I've created an APT repository of my own for Debian because the package inclusion policy in Debian (for good reasons) is very stringent.

So this public apt repository is nothing but a placeholder for packages which I am not able to push to Debian.

Currently it only has fusecompress

Add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list file for automatic installation/upgradation of packages.

# RESEARCHUT - APT Repository
deb http://www.researchut.com/packages/ sid main contrib non-free
deb-src http://www.researchut.com/packages/ sid main contrib non-free
