This is rather a late post. I am at Purdue now. Arrived here on 12th of August. A few glitches ( 0)The taxi driver charged me 300$ for a ride from JFK to LGA, 1) we didn’t get the apartment on the first day, thanks to Vikas and Himanshu to letting me stay in their house, 2) buying big things like mattress, table is a big deal. The walmart here doesn’t deliver things, and thats the only place here to buy things from. ) but otherwise it was fine. I *think* we are more or less settled now. I am sharing a 3 bed-room apartment with Ankit Jain, and Sourabh Dongoankar. Both are in ECE department, so we don’t discuss acads when we are together. 
We have been cooking food for last few days. And the experience has been fine. I met my advisor, and we had our first group meeting today. I think I am gonna enjoy working with this group. I will be working on the Orion project, which is an extension of Postgres to support uncertain data. In the group meeting we discussed about the license issues. Lets see what happens. Oh, I also got my first paycheck as well(I am an RA here).
What has been upsetting me is that Purdue doesn’t give a shit about Linux. The wifi system they have is kinda baid for Linux. And the most surprising thing was that by default you dont get a Linux account in CS department. If you want an account to use Linux machine, you have to be either enrolled in some system’s course or you have take permission from your advisor. I mean, how ridiculous it is. Its an academic system, and they are using Linux for teaching purpose, then how come they are not giving a linux account. Height!!
On a better side, I have been given a Gentoo machine in my Office. Yay! 2.6.14.6 i686 Xeon 3.06GHz.
We are getting a comcast connection. That seems to be the only service available at my apartment with proper services. I also have an at&t mobile now. 1-765-337-8090. Call me whenever you want. My apartment address is 2501, Soldiers Home Rd, Apt#67 C, West Lafayette, Indiana, 47906. And my office address is G18, Bay 5, HAAS, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana. And like it used to be in IITK, if you want to meet me, meet me in my office 
. I haven’t decided my office timings yet, but I should more or less be available in my office in day time. lolz

Usingright, the next version will have smaller fonts. But guess what, I am too bloody lazy to do that.
The rohitj logo : I am gonna change that either. Will replace it with plain text.

Usingthats why I have included it in troubles. Though yeah, it was a limo. But when I took another limo from Indianapolis, he didn’t ask that much.
