| Here is a free T-shirt design, I had been planning to make the same for a long time, but could not get time, and this idea is just sitting on my hard disk for ages.
So I have decided to write this blog post on this.
If you actually make it, by hand, do send me a snapshot  |
 T-Shirt "Unleash the gnu" -- Front |
What does message does this T-Shirt conveys ?
“Unleash The GNU in you”, i.e unleash the free software enthusiasm/craziness etc in your self. Become a FOSS person etc.
The back side of the T-shirt can have the same message i.e unleash the GNU in you as text. |
 T-Shirt "Unleash the gnu" -- Back |

Getting a high speed download
I have been using the Reliance Net Connect data card (USB Huawei EC321) for almost 2 years now. Seem that the service has improved a lot. Yesterday was downloading a file which was around 20 Mega Bytes, and got a good download speed continuously of 15 Kilo Bytes per second. Not bad.
Interesting the file i downloaded was not the correct version. 
Have been talking to others about the new High Speed data card which gives upto 3.1 Mbps, people have found it to be good.
Planning to shift to that in some time.
Utility show in the image is Gkrellm.

Blog Camp 2 - Pune
BlogCampPune is a FREE unconference focusing exclusively on blogging, organized by bloggers for bloggers. It‘s built upon the principles of the famous BarCamp (ad-hoc unconference) focussed on sharing, learning and new ideas. This is going to be an intense event with discussions, demos and interaction between attendees. Any blogger who wants to contribute is welcome and invited to join. In the spirit of BarCamp, if you attend, be prepared to present something (even if it’s just 10 minutes).
(Click on the Image on left to reach the blog camp site)
After being to few blog camp and bar camps, I am assuming that this blog camp will focus on more non techenical nature, i.e less talk about programming
Lets hope for the best.

| Here is my latest additions to my tools, a new screw-drive with changeable bits. It contains the following bits 3 star heads and 3 regular bits, of course all of different head sizes.Now whats so great about this new tool, Well I have enough of screwdriver already with me, what impress me about this one is the the handle contains all the bits.
Now you would say that many of the other screw-drivers also contains loads of bits. |

| Here is my latest additions to my tools, a new screw-drive with changeable bits. It contains the following bits 3 star heads and 3 regular bits, of course all of different head sizes.
Now whats so great about this new tool, Well I have enough of screwdriver already with me, what impress me about this one is the the handle contains all the bits.
Now you would say that many of the other screw-drivers also contains loads of bits. |
 Pull the neck slightly and release it to lock the bit |
| Well well well.. the interesting aspect about this one is that all the bits are inside the handle, and it has a rotatory cap with a pointer, all you have to do is move the cap to the required bit, point the handle downwards and the bit comes out, pull its neck once and the bit gets locked, now you are ready to get your work done.Once your work is done, point the bit upwards and pull the neck and the bit goes inside.
The interesting aspect is that since only one bit can come out at a time, and other have to remain inside, there is no possible change of losing bits from the screwdriver. |
 Pull back the neck to release the bit back into the handle |
| Its cost was around Rs.225/- INR, but is worth it. The bit are fairly easy to change, its faster than other bit screwdrivers.
Drawbacks is that since all the bits are inside the handle, it has become very thick, the weight is more, and while working it doubles are a rattle toy .
Other thigh is that the length of the bits is less compared other ones and by the look of it: |
 All the bits are inside the handle |
| it should not be use for very heavy duty purpose.
Overall a nice tool, will easily snuggle into you bag without the fear of the bit tearing your bag.
So with this screw driver you will never lose a bit… but probably lose it whole |
 Compared to a heavy duty screw driver |
