Peroo, Monomoboshik and Flickr - You Don’t Want To Miss The Action

This last week, Uncool, Kitallis and me, we spent at Kitallis’ place mostly wasting time, and spending about 5% of that time actually working on the upcoming CSI Linux Workshop that we are organizing here at DCE.

Nevertheless, the point remains that it definitely is fun. Playing around with soap bubbles, having pillow fights, sanitizing our hands using Kitty’s instant sanitizer, playing Counter Strike 1.6 online on Indian servers where we hurl abuses along with grenades, fighting for bandwidth on a measly 128 Kbps wireless connection, and rolling around on my Kinetic in the local market searching for cheap food - This is what the last week has been about. Since Kitty has a 5 Megapixel Canon digital camera, we usually have it around and try to capture the action. The best ones out of these snaps will now land up on my Flickr photostream. Be sure to check them out. And if I’m not your contact on Flickr, do add me as a friend so that you can have access to the ‘inside’ private photos too.

Today, Sneezy came back from his week long trip, and joined us at Kitty’s place. So you can find him in some of the pics too.

When we’re not together, we also hang out on Skype. Our 3 or 4 member conferences are a really old phenomenon now, which was hugely common when we guys were in 11th standard at school, and are coming back now, thanks to all the free time we have in our college life. These conferences are much like the famous O’ Reilly conferences, and usually lead to creation of famous buzz phrases such as ‘Peroo’, ‘Peroobajaleia’ or ‘Monomoboshik’. If you don’t think I’m serious, just get into any online IRC channel or public chatroom an year from now, and watch the text chat flowing, which would mostly consist of our created buzzwords.

The Linux Workshop is on Wednesday, 15th October at DCE. Coming up are news and pictures from the actual event, taken by Uncool in 8 Megapixel goodness. Keep watching.
