Prashanth Ellina

There are two things that brought me back to blogging after the initial burst when my enthusiasm lead me to post 1 blog!

• In anticipation of a gmail account!
  
• because I still think it is cool
  

Well, as a start, let me introduce myself

I am Prashanth Ellina, a student of SRM Engineering College, Chennai, India. I am doing a B.Tech in Information technology and am in the final year now.

I like computer programming, keep up with tech news, reading science fiction and watching sf movies, am a fan of Isaac Asimov. I like talking about anything techy under the sun and about space flight, astronomy, interesting ways to spend time, fun things to do, cosmology, wars and weapons.

My favorite computer game is Civilization III. I spend days and days in front of my comp screwing the Germans to glory and of course my favorite civilization is India.

My academic interests include Robotics, Artificial intelligence, Neural computing, bio-inspired computing, Evolutionary computing, Genetic algorithms, Multi-agent systems etc.

My favorite movies are The Matrix trilogy, Independence day 4, Star wars and I can spend hours and hours just talking about the intricacies of the Matrix.

I code a lot in Visual basic and have just begun my foray into Linux and open source stuff which I think is really cool. I do take a lot of interest in what Microsoft( I used to say M$ before but stopped after hearing about the nice things they are doing from Sriram ) is upto. I am vastly interested in the upcoming Longhorn and ancillary technologies.

I need to credit Vivek srikumar for inspiring me to start blogging again.

That’s for now people.
