Is this where it all started?
Info on Erdos number project: "Erd�s Number Project"
In 1995, mathematicians started a new concept. They created a database of all those people who had co-authored a paper with Paul Erdos, "a widely-travelled and incredibly prolific Hungarian mathematician". All these people were given the Erdos number of 1. They then awarded Erdos number 2 to all the people who have co-authored a paper with people having Erdos number 1, and so on and so forth.
The idea was to create "a vehicle for more serious studies of the dynamics involved and a “real-life” fairly large graph for combinatorialists to study. "
I am wondering if, this is where the idea of networks like Orkut, Ryze started?

Should phone companies replace POTS with VoIP n/w's?
Clieck here
What does VoIP gives which POTS doesnt.
Some interesting debate from Robert. He says that the total capacity of eye to carry data is 100kbps. Then why should a video transmission require more than 100kbps.

The positive thinking poem
Piyush Hari's mail on i*i*t*r-n*a*c mailing list has stirred a hornet's nest. Some of the replies to it are of the following types:
Little birdy in the sky,
You look up and it shits in your eye.
You don't mind and you don't cry,
You just thank God that cows don't fly.
(This is an humble attempt at humour, and does not necessarily reflects my personal views on this controversy)

Exhausted, I fell asleep on the grass and woke up to find the ladybugs all over me."

I tried to post a message to my blog using email...The message contained an image embedded in it.
Blogger cribbed. I expected that it will take care of it automatically...The image will go to Picasa's network, and link will replace the content in my email
or am I expecting too much from blogger? Come on they work with "Google"

Historically, solutions that succeed in the price sensitive lower end of the market eventually displace products in the high end.

Work of HimS
Spent the morning time downloading some more reports from the you-know-who.
Now, the scope of research has become more focussed and some more clarity has emerged after yesterdays session on what we have to do.
I really get charged up and raring to go after the meeting. Its exciting to do the kind of work which I am doing, and which I have always wanted to do. Dont know if it is my own expectation of work that is stopping me from delivering right now. You know the feeling when you dont want to deliver a half baked "delivery". You just want to be perfect. Its a jungle out there. Really dont know till the end if what you have done is good or not.
The insecure feeling in your stomach when you are doing something for the first time is something which is causing the nervousness.
Wish me luck!

Stats are quite interesting. The age group distribution is a classic bell curve with 15-22 age gp contributing to abt 70%. Female participation being double is another interesting facet. These stats will make more sense once one develops an understanding of how people r actually using it.
