* With fontypython (Which is unstable now), you can play with any fonts without actually installing it to system (who needs fc-cache now?). Here is simple method to use it. Thanks Daniel for upload and Donn C. Ingle for writing this simple but useful program.

* Finally, we did it!
List of people who attended meet:
1. Hardik Dalwadi (DeepRoot Linux)
2. Kartik Mistry (Magnet, Utkarsh)
3. Isaac Praveen (DeepRoot Linux)
We met at CCD near LD College of Engineering around 7 PM yesterday. It was surprise that only 3 people actually turned up at meet (I though of atleast 6/7 people). But, since this was Meeting Zero, Never mind!
We discussed lots of things from Debian Etch release to DeepRootLinux. Hardik showed fancy Beryl and Deepofix working. I handed over Debian Etch Multiarch CD, We tried to install it over VMware but couldn’t get it working 
We also talked about attending some next cool events and involving student in LUGA. For any LUG, it is vital to have student base. Well, we had nice coffee too (Thanks to Hardik/Abhas Abhinav for sponsoring it!)
And yes, we had nice BSOD when Hardik tried to show me Windows XP Embedded! I took chance to get its video too!!

So, if you are at/near Ahmedabad or Gandhinagar and care and dare to travel on Sundays, you are most welcome!

* t3rmin4t0r wrote a really great post “How To Minimize Your Value to The Company“. Here is my views:
- Answer questions on devel forums - Yes. I used to maintain some forums, which gave me some ‘pet’ name!
- Write a technical blog - Yes (sometime!)
- Live the company values - Yes
- Write cool hacks - Yes.
- Have a serious hobby - Yes.
- Contribute to an open source project - Yes.
It depends. All of us know that ‘How much business you bring to company?’ is the core question. But, I am not feeling that my value has decreased or become minimized yet.
