C S Shyam Sundar’s Thoughtpad

Gone are the days, where I was a kid and my ppl. would organize me birthday party, get cakes, blow balloons, call friends, neighbours and I would wait for the gift. Time passes by, we grow up and was taiught to goto temples. And some special ppl. still remember to gift us.

It turns out, by this year, I get to have a wonderful birthday gift!( Some call it a curse too )

My wedding date has been fixed. Its on 27th September this year.At 100ft road, Seshadri mahal., Coimbatore.

The girl is someone whom I have know personally for more than 6 years. And yeah, its a romatic love history too

As maintaining a full fledged blog is becoming difficult ( evident from my lack of updates for many months ), I have resorted to micro blogging stuff which I feel good enough to be documented.

cs shyam sundar’s thoughtpad is the tumblog hosted at tumblr under the url www.cs3.name.

Please update your bookmarks, I will be moving all the important posts from this blog to there soon.

That said, no more posts will be made in this blog ~

UPDATE - I take back this post., my experiences with tumblr, wikidot, blogger kept me frustrated, hence I resorted back to my good old wordpress!

Plus, I’m now opening myself to blog on other stuff, and soon you’ll see many intersting tech, general, life-hacking, etc.,

Nowadays, I’m using python as my primary dev. language.

Python is really cool and has many many features which makes me wish, I knew it earlier.

Now, this code snippet shows you to execute remote commands over SSH using Python. It uses the Paramiko SSH library for python.

Python Rocks !!!

One of my production servers has Subversion already installed. ( which means apr is already installed ! )

When I wanted to compile and install apache2, configure would not allow me to do and exited with this error

Again, another year has passed!  Times change and pass!

Happy new year 2008!
