The Starting of my blog writing career

Well, I have been thinking of writing a blog for a much long time, but say it my lazyness or my something else, i have been delaying it for quite some time(over a year maybe i say ;) ) ....

So, I have been using internet for quite some time..and watching it grow for probably now for 8 years. lots of things has changed. never in my life had i probably wondered that there will be so many social networking website u can have account it. Though i myself have an account on orkut which i created much later( around 1 and a 1/2 yr back), i am against the idea of these websites.
Maybe one reason of all this is that i waste too much of my time on orkut.It sucks waiting for a scrap to come and u are continously refreshing ur home page :( ..Had it been only me, i wud have probably blames myself, but when i see the guys and girls around me, i find them doing the same.
Its like an addiction which i cant simply give up.Even i am away from net, i am tempted enough to login and check whats my status and who has visited my profile(though lately i have disabled that feature :D ).It seems like atleast half of the life of a engineer these days goes up in orkutting, chatting and googling(which essentially i have to do when i need to make an assignment submission :P ).

Next thing i want to share is my love for irc. U cud always find me idling on efnet and Freenode, the former being for chatting purpose and the latter for some channels related to linux(one of my foremost love) and similar stuffs. as my comp is almost always shared by some of my friends, i am constantly being asked wtf is gud in irc??
Well i will say it has many features which simply cant be ignored. Firstly, its realtime. If u want to chat, u have a user u message him and u get the reply soon enough not like orkut when sometimes u message a user who is offline and you have to wait for him/her to come online and reply.Secondly , i dont have a liking for those oomph based smileys and stuffs which u get in orkut yahoo messenger msn and all. i simply like text based smileys like :) which u see make me feel much better than those idiotic yellow based faces showing teeths and all. Thirdly , if u have any kind of problems ( and i mean anything) u can probably get a real time answer to it on irc than anywhere else.U dont have to post it in a forum and wait for some guy to come and reply to it. and if u r a linux lover like me and run into some trouble, u can always try #linux to get ur query answered(even windows have help channels up there). and finally the best part of it, though i dont do it myself and wont even encourage you to do it, irc is one of the biggest file sharing place which u will ever come across.for example try #videopimp on efnet if u have doubts or maybe look up their website www.videopimp.org for more details.

well thats the end of it all.and yes if u got enough convinced about irc, u may like to download the software from www.mirc.com and give it a shot ;)

ps : this is not my first blog. i did write one more in a drunken state and i have just about no clue what was the login of that account
