A good day

A good day

It's past midnight, so that must read, yesterday. Yesterday was a good day indeed. For one there was far less traffic on the way to work. Fantastic! But even more exhilarating was the realisation that the organised working class when it decides to strike can have a telling impact.
Of course, there can be cynical reactions to a strike. But the neo-liberal bogey is slowly but surely unravelling.

In a tangle
I'm trying to move from blogger to my own server. I have wordpress installed for IndianOnlineJournalism. Installing and maintaining it is a real breeze. My server has just one database so I've been hunting for s solution that will work without a database. I tried nilson-blogger0.11. It is a very simple application. Too simple I guess. So off it went.
I've now installed a software that's put me in a right royal mess. The darn documentation is in - you guessed it right - German. More involuntary German lesson for me! So, between learning German and trying to tweak the system and getting it working, I prefer working on the system and burning the midnight oil. (That sounds so cliched.) My writing has taken a severe beating thanks to this techno-linguistic tangle. I better get back to it.

Finally!
Seriously, I have never been to New Delhi. Hooray! I am off to the national capital for a week starting the Friday after, that is, from the 7th of next month. The fact that I haven't been to Delhi thus far has always been an embarrassment, especially for a journalist. Spare me the smirk when you read this. PLEASE.
