Lost In Time

Coffee .. at midnight could be a divine sensation.. but  is a bad idea if you want to get up early :P . It's the midnight break .. preparing to sleep in some time ..  shuffling through some radio stations .. I found an interesting one .. a 24x7 piano station .. all played by a molecular biologist called Tar Viturawong .. hmm strange .. my midnight  background score  .. And whats for foreground? :P .. An old favourite of mine .. in times of nostalgia .. 
   Did you ever wonder how the internet looked like 30 years ago? .  check this archive http://textfiles.com/directory.html  . it's nearing the end of my  midnight break time!! .. so I'll hit the sack and hope to have some good dreams .. considering that we all spend half of our lives sleeping .. :)

It's the searing Indian summer . At times it's like a sauna. The pipe slows down during daytime .. I'd guess people are face boooking away  in their offices on their "Android home" ..lame toy ..  zzzz

Flashes of the last decade flash by in my mind . there was hardly any internet then .. here...  I still have the old 56k (7K) dialup modem lying around in a box. That is how we'd check mail! and write it beforehand in a client (mozilla mail) and send it all together to save on telephone bills .. :) . Think I'll have a glass of cold water and get back ..

Midnight Static ....

I'm just about done for the day ... Its midnight . I switch my trusty old short-wave receiver .. Just finished updating my little radio program ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/raydio/ ) that i wrote coz i just could not find anything nice and command line to play my fav internet radio.  But its midnight .. and its time to stretch that old radio antenna and catch some AIR  ( all India radio aka akashwani) :P  . An old bollywood number is trying to get through the static ! :) static of the cell phone towers .. wifi devices .. etc . something that the humble shortwave receiver never did encounter till now .   -- goodnight --
