first post

So, I have been accepted!

Last night I gave up trying to stay up long enough to wait for the announcment and today I wake up to find my inbox full of a huge thread of >250 emails. Yup, that was the first sign I noticed that I was accepted. All accepted students were auto-subscribed to the private students list, and were asked to introduce themselves with a post to that list. The speed of postings is so high that I recieved 3 mails in that thread between moving the first batch to a seperate folder and setting up a procmail rule to filter the rest of them automatically (which took at most 2 minutes).

As for this blog: I am intending to post daily progress-reports here once coding starts (May 26). However, I expect to post not much till then (maybe once a week or so).
