As you died

I am still not crying. Don't know why? I remember all those nice days I spent with you. You came in my life when I was in hostel. From that time you became a part of my life. Did many wrong with you, but still you never complained.

Rest in peace my friend.

Bijra High School Project... the current status

As the main Bijra blog is not updated yet, I am trying to explain what is the current status.

In the last 15th Nov we had a successful opening of the LTSP setup at Bijra. Prof. Ashoke Ranjan Thakur, Vice Chancellor of West Bengal University of Technology kindly donated us 5 computers including a server and 4 clients. Indranil Dasgupta, CTO of L2C2 Technologies helped our boys by giving the training and handling the technical difficulties.

The system is based on a customized Fedora 7. Mainly running GNOME desktop with all KDE based educational applications. Including the major applications from the Fedora repository, it also contains a DVD dump of Wikipedia, archive from Ankur Bangla project, and the great book from Dipankar da which can be found here.

Currently the students are learning by themselves. It is a great fun to see them doing stuffs and I shouldn't miss the help of l10n. As the students are natively Bengali speaking, they are jumping on the screen as they see all bengali there :)

The flickr photo set is here.

A news report (in Bengali) and few videos can be found here.

Back in bangalore

After two months I am back in Bangalore. Reached yesterday morning. Had a big operation , they took 3 hours for that. Now I can move my right hand around 4 inches. Doctors said it will take around 5-6 months to be normal. So, learning how to use the left hand for everything!!

Few more short entries are coming ...

Going back home .....

Tomorrow morning I am going back home. Hopefully the surgery will be done in the next week.

Just now Sir (VC , WBUT ) informed me that we will get Bijra systems within next week. So, I will be able to see them in action. We are using Fedora in these LTSP systems. I will also try to arrange some meeting of the dgplug members this time.

At last some photos taken by only using my left hand on that day :-

I almost lost my right hand

Today morning, I just sneezed once and my right shoulder dislocated :(

After 2 years this thing happened again and as the doctors said last time (and this time also) I have to undergo an operation. For now they fixed my right hand with my body using tapes and no movement for 1 month. they also said I should do the operation in between. Don't know how many days after that.

So, all my works are going to be delayed......
