The days ... run away, and sometimes I do not notice how much is moving.

First, and this news is now no longer new, the sad news reached me from Germany. Joseph Weizenbaum died a week and a half - one of those computer scientists who have shaped her work decisively my personal development. Once during my studies in computer science arose more and more doubts about the perfection of a brave new world of IT, he was the one who made it clear that literacy can be a basis for criticism and must. Several times I had the opportunity to experience Weizenbaum himself in Germany and its fun way to clarify its stance politically, to appreciate. He has dedicated his life to his ideals, and that was a good thing.

Recently, on the way to the Institute where I try to reactivate the network degree, Gandhi campaigned for elite gardens. What would he think if he could see it? Presumably he would have to make a copyright on his image and at least made strong coal. Or not, who knows. Great, at least.

CIMG0016 Great, and this time really and honestly, was my last press appearance . Came the other day with ner ne email requesting that I can give an interview for Nich the weekend supplement of 'Hindu'. If log press Fritzen I will of course skeptical, but the paper is good, probably the most useful daily newspaper here, so promised.

Then hit with that of Vishnu Gopal - I had recently met in Delhi - had about me. Networks. Function. And Vishnu is a pleasant fellow. He studied electrical engineering and writes for the newspaper by the way, in order to be able to later prove that he can once more electric than tinkering. And well he did that, wow. Okok, a few small details come out, but what the heck. And why I'm really bizarre spectacle ne?
