notes from the underground
Have been underground for a few weeks now 
Had a great time at home, met up with old friends, some of whom chose to get married…Srikant’s marriage pics here….The Canon EOS 300D was tested out, and I sort of like it. The default 18-55 mm lens sucks big time though. I had to use a 28-135mm IS/USM, which provides sharp pictures, as it is supposed to. The camera itself is very easy to operate. I wish I had the money for a EOS 10D though - some of its features would be nifty
What else .. I wasted close to half a day at the new google spawn - orkut. Lots of familiar people there, so sort of fun. It uses MS .net.
Also read some misc books and nice articles on the www. Vinge’s Singularity Paper was particularly nice, and I wonder how no one ever pointed me there before, Hofstadter’s Purity in Language was also great.
