Can’t stop playing this. It is terrible yet so addictive.

PROTEKT YO SELF

Too many snacks make American kids fat. And dumb and slow. Ok just fat.

I’m disappointed in America, with what’s going on.
- China is KILLING us in Energy Policy. Melissa’s work at FERC is making that painfully obvious to me. The next few years will make it obvious to you.
- Obama’s murder of the US Space program. Where do you think all of your nice technologies, from microprocessors to solar panels to synthetic fabrics to your friggin coffee thermos came from? NASA! What inspired generations of us to become scientists and engineers? Most will answer, the novelty and challenge of space, shows like Star Wars, Star Trek, etc.
- Tea Party movement… give me a friggin break. People are stupid enough to listen to this crap? You fools started these wars, where the defense budget eats more than half of our national spending. Now you’re suddenly so worried about health care?

UGH.

A very irritating compiler warning:

tarc.c:174: warning: implicit declaration of function “stpcpy”
tarc.c:174: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in
function “stpcpy”

No clear way to fix it. Upon first thought you
#include string.h

But that doesn’t work.

The only workaround is to add a function prototype to your .h file or
to the top of your .c file:
//function prototype for external function
extern char *stpcpy (char *__dest, const char *__src);

This declaration is the fix you need to supress that warning. Stpcpy
is extern’d from usr/include/string.h

Click the “Visualizer”.. I really like the way Pandora has set that up. I have the most random music selections, maybe you can click and enjoy some too. Pandora is one of the top 10 innovations of all time. Get on it.

I had a marvelous trip to India from December 21st till January 14th. It was my longest India trip since my childhood. In another entry I’ll write about how much I loved it and how to appreciate the culture, liveliness and craziness of India. Anyway, great trip! I spent the whole time with Meli, and it was tremendous. I can’t imagine a better travel partner! We saw Tania and Viraj’s regal wedding in Kolkata, then travelled to visit Beej in Mumbai. After that I visited Ashiyana Yoga retreat for a few days of Detox in Goa, then my posse arrived so we could party in Goa properly.

I had some camera issues (read: lost charger) so I didn’t get many pictures. But here are a few of my favorites.
