Patience is a virtue
Monday, October 15, 2007 at 10:29PM That is one virtue that I don't have and I know it!
Jr. on the other hand seems to have been gifted with infinite patience.
As the video clearly demonstrates, she just sat there for a full 8 mins, then continued to be there for another 5 before she got all upset that the battery charger was not turning green..
Finally I took the half charged battery and put it in the camera. She now takes pictures with the old S30. Her hands shake when she finally clicks the shuttter but the pictures still come out okay.
I seem to be going through a Jinx. The Tamron lens wont autofocus when the subject is close. The Zune player's screen cracked and it was not even dropped. It cracked because of temperature fluctuation is my guess. To top things off, there is a viral infection in my eye and all this happens on Sunday.
This is one of those weeks where I just want to go close myself in a small room and shout .. no.. scream!!
Would like to think on the brighter side of life though. The manual focus ring still works and my fingers are not bandaged, so I can take pictures. The Zune dudes aka Microsoft, said that this is a most common failure mode on the player and I should be able to get this screen in any local electronics store (although they won't pay for it) and my eyes are getting better or at least the pain is gone with the drops they gave me.
It may be a day or two before I come back to blog...
Until then..

I noticed that your daughter spoke in English while you spoke in Tamil. And in your previous videos, I noticed that you and your wife both speak in Tamil. I was always said that as far as the parents speak in their mother tongue, the kid speaks that. Just out of curiosity, when did your kid start talking English at home and any tips to keep them from speaking English at home.
since she started going to public school!!!
:)
she talks in Tamil when she is stressed out or in pain or is scared!
Hi Sundar, regarding your post to my blog about my non-responsiveness to your emails ...
http://not-that-sane.blogspot.com/2007/10/pregnant-or-not.html
I'm pretty sure that we don't know each other and I've not gotten any emails from you. But I could be wrong.
BTW, nice blog.
On topic: we have the same problem. Our kids started speaking English back to us ever since they realized that English was something that both their parents and their friends understood. Being Americans, they figured one language is enough :)
