Bits, Bites, Strings and Pages!!

I am a happy man today with the life square made up of bits, bites, strings and pages.

The bits in my life are those of GtkHTML. After having spent last few months fixing it's code so that it's 0s and 1s behave nicely, I feel I have succeeded. Next week will be it's stable release for Gnome 2.12. All the critical and major bugs have been squashed. I take the full responsiblity of the gruesome killings but bugs are born to die at our hands. If not, their natural death can coincide with that of the application!.. So, kill them in the bud!

Bites of some delicious food can often be elixir unless you are an anorexic. My mom and dad had dropped by in town and so I spent few days with them, savouring the delights of excellent home cooked sumptuous food! Wish I could cook like my mom! Hmm, need to start cooking first to cook well.

Strings, are the newest and wildest entry into my life. The hibernatation of the long harboured desire to play a stringed instrument, was finally broken when my friend Praveen talked to me about his guitar plans, few weeks back. And here I am today, who can play the tunes of about 10 songs without looking into the written chords. It has brought soulful harmony into my life. Amen!

Pages, authored by Dan Brown can be exciting, compelling and possessive.
I am on the verge of completing the entire Dan Brown series very soon. The order of the accomplishment is,
Da Vinci Code - Angels and Demons - Deception Point - Digital Fortress
The only other author whose entire collection I have loved reading is Jeffrey Archer.
M.K. Gandhi's 'My experiments with Truth' is supposedly next in my read queue.

Finally, some poetic juices at play....

Code is frozen hard and shiny,
may we fix all bugs, even too tiny,
life will turn over a new chapter,
we will make merry ever after....
