hmm.. I always start my blogs (
of course I have a LOT of blogs.. not many have more than a single entry is just a minor detail of absolute insignificance :D ) with an entry which tells my faithful (
duh.. you know I dint mean that..) readers about the blog (
whee.. meta info.. I like meta.. meta is smart :D ), mentally preparing them to whatever the rest of the entries might unveil.. (
which usually isn't much, but I do like important sounding words :D) so, that's exactly what this entry is all about.. (
you dint expect anything more, did you?)
so, let's start with the (
slightly) weird sounding title of this blog.. now, if it really did sound weird, depending on how weird it sounded (
and ignoring the totally irrelevant fact that I'm bad at choosing names), you're not as big a fan of Quantum Mechanics and/or you haven't watched a lot of sci-fi serials.. which I'll choose to ignore and completely forgive you for that (
and I know you won't give a damn about that.. and FYI, neither do I :D) and if it didn't sound all that weird, then you probably made a connection to alternate realities and stuff, and well, you're right..
so, now you know I like the idea of alternate realities, parallel universes and all that (
that's not to say I believe in them.. just in case you got me wrong).. basically, the existence of alternate realities (
the way I understand it) would mean there's at least one alternate reality where I've got all I ever wanted and am the happiest person on the planet (
/universe too, but that might be a little too ambitious :D)..
oh, and you don't have to get smart.. of course that means there's a gazillion other realities where I'm unhappy.. but let's stick to the positive side for now shall we? oh, and that also implies I don't have everything I want in this reality and I definitely am nowhere near perfection.. (
surprise surprise! :D) but guess I could live wit that (
knowing there's a perfect me somewhere :D )
moving away from the alternate realities (
well.. I bored myself with that.. so, I'd be surprised if you say you're still interested..), I'm a programmer, so of course I'm interested in the technical stuff.. Programming Languages, AI, Signal Processing, and of course, all those petty fanatical preferences over tools, IDEs etc..
I'm generally interested in science and technology.. particularly the kind which looks promising on the front of taking over the mankind.. you know, robots, AI, the teeny weeny machines thinking for themselves and conspiring against you.. hell, I'd even build one if only I had a little time :D
and I'm curious about our past.. not the recent past of course.. it's too full of idiotic politicians and their petty whims to be anywhere near interesting.. I mean stuff that's related to the evolution of homosapiens (
btw, the spellchecker in my firefox (3.0.1) does not recognize the word and suggests homosexuals instead :)) just to clarify, I don't mean aything against homosexuals.. just laughing at the dictionary which doesn't even have the word homosapien in it).. archaeology.. all those (
apparently) inexplicable mysteries about those gigantic structures built by those ancient civs etc.. basically, I'm among the people who believe that mankind definitely could not have used up all of the 1.8 million years in evolving to the humans we're now.. so I believe our ancestors must have evolved to a stage where they managed to wipe out themselves
at least once.. (
thus, by corollary, not much wiser than we are now :D) you know, all that belief in atlantis, advanced science in vedas, ancient aircrafts etc..
and I like books.. mostly fantasy and a bit of sci-fi and some talking about actual science.. so I'd end up writing at least a few entries about some books I like (
and those I don't like.. but there aren't many I've read that I didn't like)
oh, last but definitely not the least, (
in fact, likely the most prominent kind if I don't get my head repaired soon) is a little sad story I have about how there's a girl I really like and how I never managed to have anything near a relationship with her and how it all went bad (
of course, I'd never admit any of that to be my fault, even tho it is..).. I honestly hope never to write about that one (
coz wrting anything related to that most likely means I'm getting another step closer to being admitted to a mad house.. that should scare anyone, right?)
and of course, you'll find a lot of smileys scattered around all the entries (
just to remind people how funny/humorous I am.. :D )
