Scene from Gandhi

Gandhi:  you've come all this way because you think something is going to happen.

Reporter:  is it?

Gandhi:  perhaps. I've come here to think about it.

Gandhi:  do you remember much about south africa?

Reporter:  yes. a great deal.

Gandhi:  I've traveled so far, and thought so much...

         as you can see, my city is a sea city. always full of Hindus, Muslims, Sihks, Jews, Persians...

                  my family's sect was the Panhami, hindu of course but in our temple the priest used to read from the muslim Koran and the hindu Gita moving from one to the other as if it does not matter which book was being read...

         as long as God was being worshipped. When I was a boy I used to sing a song in the temple...

         he bows to all and despises none.

         Gandhi:  I've travelled so far and all I have done is come back... home.        

         Reporter:  wait a minute, you know what you're going to do, aren't you?

Gandhi:  it would have been uncivil of me to let you make such a long trip for nothing.

Password Issues On Ubuntu Login

I found myself unable to enter my login credentials when prompted to do so in Ubuntu. I think I might have changed it then forget about it. I've been running the current session for more days than I should have. I forget. So what's the solution to my problem. How do I get in to my system now? It involved getting into the grub menu somehow. I am uncertain as to how to do that exactly in your system. So there's a couple of ways to do it (finger's crossed). When booting at system start, use the esc key or the shift key. The first one worked for me. The timing is key. Wait until the bios banner shows then hit the esc key once. I am using Ubuntu 22.04.4 here. I have a current version of grub. The grub menu will give you options and the one you want is: root. Yes you want root privileges to set the root password. It should give you a terminal access where you can issue commands. Type: #mount -rw -o -s remount / ==> this command mounts the filesyste

2024 So Far

I have a feeling of moving earth or walking off my itchiness. The growing fat in my belly tells me I am failing on many occasions to give in to this urge. My eyes are blurred by morning glory. I remember my father having the same ritual in the morning. After his weak stroke, he couldn't speak much, just a grunt but he would demonstrate with hand how he liked to wash his face. The weather wasn't helping. It's been raining cats and dogs the past week. The province of Rizal was soaked and spilled volumes of water into the bay and Laguna lake. Our Caimito tree was cut to no more than 4 feet from the ground. It was towering above the corrugated sheet metal of our roof. Now it lay horizontal on the yard. I calculated it could be made into a whole table and chairs set by a talented carpenter artist. I showed Lino the two big pieces of trunk that could only be moved if cut by a power saw in place. The road widening project in San Mateo was in the middle stage. One side of the road
