Very disappointed to hear about Disney winning the Eldred case. Till date I’ve actually had little sympathy for music industry and their copyrights.. I’ve actually went out and purchased tapes of music that I already had on my machine. Now I’ve totally lost it. If they dont want to move old english literature to public domain, I have no reason to respect their copyrights. I will *never* *ever* buy a cd/tape of an mp3 thats I’ve downloaded off the net Fuck Disney, Fuck AOL and most of all Fuck RIAA.

too many mails.. too many things… sites down … ARGGG.. Going Postal …

Spent most of my day with noelladsa. Wish I could have spent more time with her. She got me an amazing Calligraphy pen set. Its one of the most amazing gifts ever . Why you ask ? coz I used to paint a lot many years ago.. and have lost touch and dont have time for it anymore. I tried many times to get back to it, but just never happened. Noella has been asking me to start too, coz it will be a good distraction for me from the hectic work schedule… and something that I can keep myself…

Its been an amazing day.. and honestly my best Birthday till date. Woke up early and got to work pretty early too. Was out of the office most of the day. Came back in the evening, only to see my desk totally messed up. Balloons and tons of shiny things all over my cube. This is how it looked when I walked in. More pics of my cube : my title, my windows box, my BSD box , my mouse , me working. Took out few of the people at my office , out for dinner to this place called…

Its been a long , hectic , embarrassing, tiring , wonderful day so far. and lots more still in the queue. More updates later

Few of my relatives landed up here last night. As usual.. that threw my Sunday out of gear. Had to drive around Bangalore and show them things. This was their 1st time here, so had to show the usual *sight seeing* places. I even might have to drive them to Mysore. Atleast this is the one set of relatives ( maybe the ones ones ) that I really spending time with. My aunt also got me tons of my fav yummy sweets… wish I had more space in my stomach.

Spent the whole of yesterday reading up on algorithm’s and trying to come up with new ones. I guess, things would have been a lot easier if I had done CS ( having issues understanding the most elementry stuff ), but heck, learning is always fun.. and thats exactly what I’ve been doing. Also got a taste of C++ and its speed. My perl program was crunching about 10k lines per second. The same exact algorithm in C++ was crunching about 60-70k lines per second. Now thats something.. ( but its 1000 times more easier to work on an algo…

I got a brand new project. Its basically Data mining + Algo’s. Good stuff. ( Did I mention Perl Rulez ; ) Its so damn addictive.. Have been working for almost 15 hours straight.. and I can go on like this.. expect for the fact that I’m hungry now and need something to eat fast. ( only place where i can find food at this time of the day is at home ).
