If you randomly drifted onto this blog assuming i'd be another enlightened soul baring my thoughts on the deeper meaning of some movies or life or some book, you're going to be disappointed, our interests don't match. (The last insightful book i read was "Linux Device Drivers")What will you find here? Whatever rubbish comes to my mind. And my mind is a very volatile place.
Who am I? I'm the kind of guy who can't sit still for more than a few minutes at a time. What am i interested in? Soccer, Kittens, Puppies, Kernel hacking, Video Games, Rajma-Chawal, and daydreaming.
A lot has changed since the last post. I'm no longer at UT, i graduated in Spring '07, and got the kind of job i really wanted..writing code that flirts with the OS for the snazziest company on the planet, NVIDIA. And how's the job, you may ask? Been about three months now, has been a mixed bag.
I should be in bed, fast asleep right now, but unfortunately, i nodded off to sleep early in the evening yesterday, and woke up near midnight, with my entire sleep cycle in turmoil, and i've not been able to sleep since. What better way of spending hours of insomnia than to unload rubbish on a blog, i said to myself (after 2 hours of mindless fragging with Halo3 on Xbox Live with other people who have nothing better to do), and here i am.
I came across something interesting the other day, theres this guy on Flickr who claims that his grandpa drew the first Lolcats a long time ago, and he now publishes a new strip every so often (if you haven't heard of Lolcats yet, GO DRIVE INTO A WALL, then take a look here). Here's a sample of his cartoons:
Thats Pip, the little kitteh. I'm hooked!
One of these days, i'm going to get myself a cat. Or a dog. Or both.
Maybe i should end this drivel here and start getting ready for work (THATS surely going to bring the sleep back.) Before i sign off, lemme share with you this dream i had last evening. All day at work i had been trying to compile a kernel and get it to work on my test system. I would tweak the .config file and recompile, then run it on my test box, but it would freeze on bootup. I did this more than 3-4 times, and if you know what i'm talking about, you'll now how long it takes. And then after i came back from work, i had been playing Halo3 online like the maniac i am.
So when i went to sleep, in my dream i was one of the Spartans in Halo3, playing online with other people, and frantically trying to change my guns by editing a kernel .config file. heh heh! Find it funny? No? KTHXBAI!
PS: This is what i look like in Halo3:
And this is a screenshot i took during the game, thats me in the driver's seat of the Warthog:
