Hello!
This is my first entry from Bodhgaya. I am sitting in a CyberManiac cafe typing this away, it’s 9pm here and the place is finally quieting down a bit. It’s quit crowded during the day and most of the people haven’t even arrived yet. But after Kolkatta this is quite a relief! I’ll try to describe more of what is going on later, this is just a quick hello. Have all of you in my heart and sending you blessings from the tree of enlightenment!

A British doctor says “Medicine in my country is so
advanced that we can take a kidney out of one man put it in another and have him looking for work in six weeks.”
A German doctor says, “That’s nothing, we can take a
lung out of one person put it in another - and have him looking for work in four weeks.”
The American doctor, not to be outdone, says, “You guys
are way behind, we just took a man with no brain out of Texas, put him in the White House, and now half the country is looking for work, and the other half is preparing for war.”

SF Weekly | sfweekly.com | News : Matt Smith
For freedom’s sake we need to make ourselves as irritating as Stuttering Zeke Merritt. Here’s how: We’ll relentlessly pick on Information Czar John Poindexter. Long a hero to Republicans for avoiding prison on a technicality after being convicted of lying to Congress, Poindexter’s on his way to becoming a beloved icon with his project to re-Nixonize the United States. He says his personal-information-collecting idea is to look for patterns of potential terrorist activity. I say we all band together and look for patterns in John and Linda Poindexter’s personal activity.
Why, for example, is their $269,700 Rockville, Md., house covered with artificial siding, according to Maryland tax records? Shouldn’t a Reagan conspirator be able to afford repainting every seven years? Is the Donald Douglas Poindexter listed in Maryland sex-offender records any relation to the good admiral? What do Tom Maxwell, at 8 Barrington Fare, and James Galvin, at 12 Barrington Fare, think of their spooky neighbor?

Eyeballing Total Information Awareness
This looks interesting - Matt Smith suggests that we turn the idea of Total Information Awareness on Poindexter - and see how he will feel about the results.

I’ll be going to India soon, yaey!!! But right now I’m trying to figure out if there is any way I can make a train reservation from Calcutta to Gaya from here… I’m afraid that I’ll have to wait in Calcutta for a few days before getting a train… So what will I be doing?
Well, my plan is to go to Bodhgaya to listen to teachings from H.H. the 17th Karmapa and then probably stay on for the Kalachakra initiation by H.H. the 14th Dalai Lama. I’m also hoping I get to see Sarnath and Lumbini - thus making it into a sort of pilgrimage. I’m quite excited by all this - I haven’t been in India for about 5 years and can hardly wait to get back…

I’ve been trying to get Aggie working on Mono but with no success. Has anyone else succeeded in this? I’d be quite happy with a command-line version of it…

Yahoo! Groups :klogs Messages : Message 333 of 335John Robb talks about k-logs in education.I’ve been wondering if something like this could be set up in my currentschool - Social Work School . Rightnow I’m in my first year and are doing work at different volunteer organizationsand we have to maintain diaries of our work - wouldn’t it be great if thesediairies would be shared and many people would be able to get a glimpse ofwhat we are learning?

Synesthesia:K-Logging PilotExperiences from implementing k-logs (knowledge managementblogs) in a company. I’ve been playing with an idea of implementing weblogsin my company and have come up againstsome similar things. What are they good for?
My problem is that my intuitive sense is that we would/could geta lot out of trying them out, but have a hard time explaining it very clearly.
