Prof. Stewart T Cole @ IISc on 4th, Feb., 2009.

A Pioneer in Tuberculosis and Leprosy Genomes

Dr Cole's work on tuberculosis, leprosy, AIDS, gas gangrene and bacterial molecular genetics is widely acclaimed throughout the world. He was a leading member of the team of scientists who determined the complete nucleotide sequence for the AIDS virus. He is also considered to be a pioneer in the genomics of tuberculosis and leprosy bacilli.

Dr Cole studied biology at the University of Wales prior to earning his doctorate from the University of Sheffield in 1979. Subsequently he embarked on a career as a researcher at the University of Umea (Sweden) and the Max Planck Institut in Tuebingen (Germany), and then at the Institut Pasteur, where he was in turn a senior research fellow, the head of the bacterial molecular genetics unit, a professor, and finally the Director of Strategic Technologies from 2000 to 2004. Since that time, he has been the Institute's Scientific Director. Dr Cole was made a Knight of the Legion of Honour for services rendered to science.

You thought Y2K was bad ? See this.

I recently came across this RFC document on the Y2K and related bugs. We will face the Jan 19th 2038 bug quite soon on linux. But this goes much beyond this. http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2550.

Shivasamundram and Talakadu Trip: 11th Jan, 2009

Shivasamudram is around 130kms from Bangalore and 14 of us set out to go here on Sunday 11th Jan., 2009. The drive to Shivasamudram was pretty smooth except for a 3km stretch of road after Malavalli which is still being laid. River Cauvery falls majestically here and forms the Shivasamudram falls which is also referred to as Shivanasamudram falls. This is located in the Mandya district in Karnataka.
Talakadu, a tourist place unexplored by many people, is a beautiful place surrounded by the temples of Lord Shiva. It is on the banks of the Kapila Cauvery River.Cauvery Kapila river at Talakadu creates about 10Kms backwater and water level remains same throughout the year, a very good water source for Hydro Therapy and Ayurvedic Herbal Massage.
