Funny - I wanted an editor - just like the one I am typing in!

For the past few days, I have been working at Tritech on integrating a nice editor that lets one upload pictures and insert them inline into messages. The one we are using is called FCKEditor. It is really crappy. The trouble is that the whole thing is somehow integrated with Drupal.

I thought I will work on the damn editor during the long four day weekend. But so far, I haven't found the time. I went to Austin to see parami, suchi, nirav, kannukaka, manjukaki and bosky. Thursday was spend just sleeping, Friday, we did a little bit of golfing and mendicoat. Saturday, we did agonizingly huge amount of utterly useless shopping and a lot of fun mendicoat. On Friday night, or Saturday morning, my Birthday was celebrated - it was the best one I have ever had! Parami is the brand new daughter of suchi and nirav. I was so surprised that she was comfortable with me, I would just hold her and be in whatever weird position that she felt comfortable. For a 4 month old, she is amazingly clear about what she wants. She cries just when wants to communicate something.

So, my birthday celebs, holding parami and mendicoat were three highlights of Austin trip. In any case, the point is, all this was so mesmerizingly engrossing that I did not have any inclination to work on the editor.

In any case, I came back today to Los angeles, slept for the most part of hte day, and just now, was getting ready to do something useful in life. So, I decided to work a little bit. Or at least think about it. Then, I promptly got distracted and started looking at bosky's blog. But she had written nothing. Out of curiosity, I wanted to look at what I had written last.

That's when I remembered that I wanted to use blogging as a means of bringing focus back into my life gajini style. I mean, I lose focus in life all too very easily. I am very self-motivated. Which really means that when I am not actively motivating myself and just free-associating, I am just guided by pleasure and nothing productive ever gets done. Or, I am plain reluctant to engage in any boring work. Unless I convince myself that it is important.

Well, to convince myself that something is important, I need to be in a thinking mode, and I very seldom am. When I blog, I am thinking. Or, I am in a thinking frame of mind. At that time, it is mostly clear to me what is important and what is not.

So, in any case, I decided to blog, opened the editor and guess what I saw? It was the solution to my problems! This very damn editor that I am typing stuff in, is exactly what I want. After posting this blog message, I will view the source, download the javasript, play a little bit with it, etc.

So - that is it!
