Mad mad world of Katrina

Mad mad world of Katrina

So there are looters in the United States too. Oh! journalists fear for their lives as well. This isn't mockery nor is it a case of the I-am-so-happy syndrome either. But just a display of how in this neo-liberal world order the facade can be blown off by a hurricane. Do we need hurricanes to bring the worst out of people? If one looks deeper at what's happening in New Orleans there is a human problem that needs to be address. It would be a rotten shame if it gives another stick to the Christian Right to beat hapless Americans with.

Phew, the mac mini is home

Phew, the Mac is home

Fred Garland has had a profound influence on me, at least that's what some "friends" will think. Actually they are right. The Kolner made my life a lot easier by suggesting I go in for a Mac mini instead of a laptop. The machine arrived home late lastnight. I've got it running, and, believe me, for a mac novice it is no tango.
But my daughter Kavya is happy. She seems pretty much at home with the Mac - the end of the run for me.
I guess it will take me a few days before becoming completely comfortable. The good thing is I am online, and my PC gave up yesterday. What luck!
