The perils of taking work home

Zainab and I moved into a new residence a month ago, but haven’t completely moved out of my parents’ house. Most of our stuff is still there, and we get all our mail there. We dropped in yesterday because my parents got us a cake for our anniversary. In the mail was a box of chocolates.

Me: “Google sent us some chocolates.”
Zainab: “What? How did they know?”

(Insert moments of staring at each other working out the privacy implications)

Me: “It’s not for us. It’s for HasGeek. And it’s new year’s greetings.”

Zainab and I have been together for six years and married three. HasGeek just turned a year old. HasGeek’s registered address is my parents’ residence. We’ve been having a good conversation with Google and other companies thanks to Droidcon, JSFoo and other events this year.

      hi kiran & dileep, i wonder if either of you might kindly point me in the right direction.. i have a very shallow and superficial understanding of fonts etc.. I am working to simplify the reading and singing of the Bhagavad Gita for the benefit of everyone. We are trying to prepare the Gita verses in all major indian scripts in 4 lines instead of the traditional two (you can see samples of it in Telugu and Tamil on my site www.gitajayanti.ning.com) But now i can’t open that Telugu one on any computer even if i try copying the font file TL-Hemalatha - i think it has some licensing issue.. not sure. But how can i convert it into unicode or any readable font? If i get it into unicode, then it shd be quite easy to convert from there to most other indian languages, am i right?

      your kind advice & help wd be greatly appreciated.

      thank you

      yours in service of sri guru, sri gauranga, sri gopal and srimad bhagavad gita,

      dina a das
