    Year of International Tourism :) 

    I have become an airport blogger. This time from Bangalore Airport. Can’t help. I am on the run. It’s barely a week that I arrived here to Bengaluru, after a hectic month at Seoul.  When I am still gasping and breathing, am asked to be available at Boston by Monday. Customer trial related activity. Looks like am celebrating Year of International tourism :)

    It was Boston and Cambridge in UK, during first half of the year. Then came Seoul and HongKong.  Now it is Boston again. If I had a week more to get France Visa, I would have made Boston-Paris trip. Anyways, this is my iGoogle-gadget. Useful for time-zone travelers.

    I missed the Indian kitchen during Seoul trip. This time am not starving.  Carrying an exclusive bag containing MTR-Ready-to-Eat.

    I bought this book just before Korea trip. The book is yet to be read. Hope I will find some time in this trip to flip through.

    The brief period of a week in Bangalore was nice. Sujay is standing on his feet. My Sis ‘provided’ me nice food. Neeligang caught up for a overnight gambling.

    My Dream car for the Blind 

    I met two boys from Tamilnadu. They gave me a ride to MG road in their self-designed car. On the way I kept thinking how they could drive on the road. Because that car did not have a transparent glass pane in the front.

    Bizarre ? This is the dream I woke up with this morning. Just sat down to put that car on the paper. I later figured out that such a car could actually be used by blind people. Heights ?

    MB and Mbps confusion 

    For those looking for answers to MB and Mbps confusion, I created this graphic. In fact I had another post sometime back.
    Do you realise…that my fingers are itching and getting desperate to put my Graphic tablet to some good use. Need fresh ideas for illustrations.

    Understanding IPSec/IKE Phase 1 

    IPSec/Ike is a difficult-to-grasp security protocol. Because it is one protocol which does many things. Authenticates, encrypts and establishes a secure tunnel.
    I have been trying to get a understading of message exchanges between the initiator (eg: mobile) and responder (eg: security gateway) before the tunnel is established. In the most simplified form this is how it looks. Six message exchanges, logically separated.

    It’s a three two-way exchanges between the initiator and receiver.

    • First exchange—The algorithms and hashes used are agreed upon in matching IKE SAs in each peer.
    • Second exchange—This exchange uses a Diffie-Hellman exchange to agree upon a shared key. Diffie-Hellman is not an encryption algorithm but an algorithm for establishing a shared key over an unsecured medium.
    • Third exchange—This exchange verifies the other side’s identity. The identity value is the IPSec peer’s IP address in encrypted form.

    The main outcome of the whole exchange is matching IKE SAs between peers to provide a protected pipe for subsequent exchanges between the peers.

    The IKE SA specifies values for the IKE exchange: the authentication method used, the encryption and hash algorithms, the Diffie-Hellman group used, the lifetime of the IKE SA in seconds, and the shared secret key values for the encryption algorithms.

    Moooooods in lines 


    Just few lines & expressions come alive. Tried them on a lazy Sunday morning. First lesson to any budding cartoonist is the understanding of facial expression . eyes eyes eyes…don’t have to emphasise more. It’s all in the eyes. Place the dots and you instantly see the mood. Isn’t this easy ?…. try them in your free time.

    Scanning my soul ! 

    My first peripheral purchase.
    I have placed an order for HP ScanJet 2400. Delivery is expected tomorrow.

    These days All-in-one (Printer/Scanner/Copier) devices cost as good as a standalone. But I still bought a standalone, as I don’t want to burn any cash on the never ending expenses of toner/cartridge. Print is not what I am looking for.

    What’s my business with the Scanner ?
    Scan.
    I been into sketching off late on the paper. I guess you’ll see more of them on the web in coming days.

      Why do you need a scanner J. Just click a pick with your mobile or snap it with digicam and upload ;) .

    • ATM 1:44 AM on November 20, 2007 Permalink

      You are right. That would have been enough. I have tried that before. http://www.arvindtm.com/2007/06/cartoonist-workbook.html

      But it doesnt have the same feel and the finishing.
