As is probably apparent from the title of this blog, I'm addicted to Computer Science. Fear not, that won't be the sole subject of my musings. I fully expect to write about whatever moves me; politics, books, or what I ate for dinner last night. Part of the adventure for me (and for any readers I might attract) is not knowing what it'll be on any given day.

For Cherry and Mridula
Funnily enough, I too had the remarkable insight that one could use an external text editor instead of Blogger's cursed text box. But Word? And vi?? I use Emacs, you insensitive clods. :-)

I dont know about cherry but when you are as tech-challenged as mridula....word is the only thing you know to use.

@nitish you use emacs!!!! noooooo...nahi ...aisa nahi ho sakta...dude! no!
okay...now that i've regained my breath.
start hypnotic trance: Repeat after me: use gvim...use gvim ...use gvim
although I agree that vi is moderately limited, true geeks use vim...slightly tainted ones use gvim and people who need emacs's builtin psychologist use emacs ;)
@anonymous - you rock! do i see a slashdotter in the distance....long live mindless tech journalism
I'm 21, and Indian. Both of which mean that I have strong opinions even on subjects I know virtually nothing about. Hence this blog. As of this fall, I'm in the Ph.D. program in Computer Science at the Univeristy of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC).
