Overhearing phrases like 'How you did?' in a very pleasing accent makes me feel at home again.
Cab driver drove fast from the airport to Mapusa. The roads seemed nicer. At a few places, the rumblers were replaced by rounded speed breakers.
At night, when I drove, the traffic seemed nicer - more polite. Fewer people honking and fewer headlights on high beam. The addition of reflectors at the edge of the road made driving at night from Panaji to Mapusa more comfortable.
As usual, my first task was to upgrade my old PC in our flat in Mapusa.
The PC has an intel 945 graphics chipset, so the likelihood of the system freezing with Fedora 12 or Ubuntu 9.10 is very high.
Also, this will begin my long experiment with keeping a system used a few times a year current without upgrading the OS again.
I brought a backup of Arch Linux from my parents' system in Chandigarh so that I could be operational very quickly.
It did not turn out to be that way - more about that in a separate post.
