Squid

I use linux very frequently these days. And I did not have a proxy server running on linux. Due to this no one could use the internet on the other PC. Today atlast all those problems have been put to an end. Thanks to squid!!

It is a real nice proxy server. I knew nothing about a proxy server or how to setup one. The online help for squid is good enough. If you plan to setup squid for your network, I would suggest that you take a look at these sites:
1. The Squid quick configuration guide that you get from the squid site itself
2. A short article on setting up squid.

Squid has several options. It is supposed to speedup your internet connection by caching data... but I have yet to explore that!

Gaim 2 can doodle :D

I recently downloaded gaim2. It comes with a lot of improvements. I really liked it. There is this feature in gaim "doodling", that lets two ppl draw an image. May come handy in some technical conversation... but I found it really entertaining. It can be fun to draw images... nice how two ppl can complete an image.

This is the first time I am mailing images to my blog... wonder how it will display them. I would like to write about each of the image... but again I am not sure about where the comments would be put. May be I will just edit the post later.

I am alive

No, I am not dead... for all of you who thought that you had got rid of me; you are wrong! I had just been taking a long vacation. There are a lot of things to write about. A lot of thoughts.

I missed Christmas, missed New Year! But I celeberated those well. Hope you enjoyed a lot too. No new year resolutions on my blog. 2005 was great! It was fun, it rocked and roared. 2006 seems to have brought a lot of things for me to do. The main reason that there is so little on my blog.

But then I remembered, this is where I am documenting my life. If I am doing a lot of things, and don't write about them, a lot may get lost in time... Now you surely do not expect me to remember everything do you?!

That is why I am back to writing...

For all those who asked me if I stopped blogging... No, I will never do that. Sorry, that I kept you waiting all these days.

Earlier I would not write sometimes, cause there was nothing significant to write. And the last few days I did not, cause there was too much to write.

But I am back and you can expect a lot of new posts soon.
