IIT-K and a 2 MBPS connection

Posting this sitting in the visitors hostel of IIT-Kanpur indexing almost the whole of YouTube on my hard-disk :-)
Well getting download speeds of 200Kbps+....unfortunately all peer-2-peer sharing networks are blocked, orkut is blocked....so downloading YouTube videos!

Journey here was quite cool - took the Pushpak express from Mumbai. Jobs4Freshers.com the the second of our companies came in the top3 in some show-casing competition here....gave lots of gyaan on the web 2.0 scene. The female species are quite a rarity here.
There was a music show last night - which has everything from classical sa ra ga ma, to ghazals to rock n metal.
Enter Sandman by the local IIT-K band (Called : Metalligasms I think) and Brick in the wall were pretty cool.

Witnessed yet another upset by the Bangladeshis - this victory would have definitely infused some new life into the English and perhaps Windies too.

Have also gotten a chance to play around with my digital acquisition last month - The canon S3 IS...will update this post with some pics later.

Gonna be a painful return journey. Travelling 'Sleeper Class' back to Mumbai! Lets see how one survives that.
Well am back to indexing all possible videos for another 2 hours.

Cheers :-)
