Not to say, I was neck-deep into salvaging the data from my hard disk, which had succumbed to my exploits some two years back. Windows, Dos, and Mac had already thrown in the towel. This left me eyeing on Linux. I found Knoppix that neatly installs and boots from USB. Once into Linux, it was a piece of cake to not only read, but also transfer data at a blazing speed to the other HD (had a little trouble writing to the other HD since Linux, by default, mounts FAT HD as readable only; on the same note, it is dangerous to write to NTFS through Linux). I am in love with Linux. If only there were no compatibility issues (I couldn’t get a driver for wireless card). Finally, I also managed to format the HD from scratch and voila – even the windows can read/write to the HD without any problem!
Redesigning the website took some time and I am still on it. Although programmers have made tremendous progress in developing tools that make web designing swifter and extremely flexible, it amazes me how little has been done to create a good editor. We are using Drupal platform, but the editors available are as awful as the ones I used to design my personal page some four years back. Anyway, here is the link.
It is worth mentioning that Georgetown University’s MBA is completely rebranding itself in the next session with new logo, new wordmark, absolutely fantastic new building, and new faculty. I am excited to be a part of this transition.PS: Indian celebrities inadvertently shooting the bird at journalists trying to prove that they did cast their vote. Hilarious!
