Sometime at IIIT-H, I experience serious shortage of social networking. You always see computers all around you. Computer in the reality, computers in the dreams. What the hell ?? Right now, at 4:20am if I just look around in 360 degrees view, all I can see is 15-20 computer screens, some with some crappy screen-savers, others with locked screens and some switched off. All I can hear is the sound produced by the fans used for CPU cooling. I am up at 4:20am and writing this blog. What computers made me ? I am no more than a machine with some AI. But thanks to the chat clients, orkut, and dc++ which helps me to keep in touch with friends, family and other fellows.

Just now I enjoyed a chat session on dc++ with Vizagite ( a second year student). It was like some machine was talking on behalf of both of us. (my nick is Bordeaux on dc++).

PS0 : Writing blogs very frequently. I don’t know why.

PS1 : Yesterday it was the first night out of the semester and tonight its the second. I think now it will be a night out daily.

PS2 : IIIT-LUG has got a life again. Its functional after a long time 😀
