Tried to install GPSBabel Version 1.3.6
on my Fedora 9/10 mixed install.
Though had both expat and expat-devel installed.
A missing libexpat.so.0 kept bothering me.
Though I haad libexpat.so.1, the complains.
Tried to fool it by linking libexpat.so.0 to libexpat.so.1 but failed.
Read somewhere that compat-expat1 would solve the problem. Tried it out. It live up to its name.
Get it from here.

Think I’m growing old.
Can’t pull off an all-nighter these days. Remembering the old days of cramming and hackign.
The brain virutally shuts down with lack of activity these days. Missing the daily dose of CZERO all these years has brought my reflexes down.
Depression creeps in at unusual times.
Need to find something stronger than lager these days.
Technically speaking District Livestock farm of the animal husbandry in Kandal.
Started around 4 from home and reached the place after sometime with Anand, Deepak and Ram, Chetan was sleeping I guess, so he didn’t join us.
The size of the Jersey cows this time was disappointing.
If I am not mistaken there were Friesian cows too.
Last time (a couple of years ago) they looked like dinosaurs in miniature.
And sound a terrifying ‘moo’. Touching them is not for the faint hearted(believe me.)
They are mainly used here for diary and in the preservation of semen. Which would later be used for artificial insemination.
The last time we went to the lab there and found them preserving samples in straw like containers inside LN2 cylinders.
Have you ever touched LN2? They try to freeze your bone. If you stay at it you may find yourself breaking your fingers to bits.
All in all the vast expanse of the farm was good to see. The cows were pretty tolerant on the intrusion.
Photos are coming.
One would probably need some kind of permission to see this place but it’s worth the trouble.
Here goes:
The last time I remember entering a hair dresser’s was almost a year ago. To be precise July of 08 (The day still haunts me) just before my graduation.
Since then I have refused to get a haircut for many reasons, the prominent one being: Who cares?
It seems I have scared enough people with my hairstyle that they tried to talk me into getting a cut.
From all the aunties and their daughters, they want my hair to be cut.
Being who I’m (Stubborn and half-witted) it’s needless to say they couldn’t convince me.
Enter Ma:
Said she’ll pay me if I get my haircut.
Well, I’m a reasonable man. (You know that!)
You can imagine what came next.
The days of idle-roaming in Ooty are finally turning to be productive.
All it tooks was a GPS device and a friend to show you how.
lawgonji magnanimously lent me a GARMIN GPS 72 and his know-how.
If you’d like to paint your idleness with fun colors
head over here:

It’s pure fun, take my word for it.
