Poor soul, is it that hard to find a good site nowadays? Well, your search continues...

My name is Dinoj Surendran and I'm a Zimbabwean-bred student entering the graduate Computer Science program at the University of Chicago in Fall 2000.

This is where you'll hear about my plan for life and other great fiction stories. You may also learn that I can't spell anithing correctly.

Some links:

Non-math

• Memepool - a collection of great links.
• Garfield. Ayuh, my fav feline.
• The Keirsey Personality Page - You know, this one may actually be right...
• The Onion. News Schnews.
• The Financial Gazette - News (all bad) from my 'home' country Zimbabwe.
• Zimbabwe Old Students Network If you ever studied in Zimland, this is obligatory.
• India Abroad: Daily news from India, with an excellent one-page-headline format.
• World Time Zones
• The Editing Room: Abridged spoof scripts of various movies. I'm not a movie person though - here are some I've enjoyed:
  • Phantom Menace
  • Runaway Bride
  • Shakespeare in Love
  • Titanic
• The dark side of Microsoft! Their customized keyboard and hidden settings... can't remember where I scarfed these from.

Math

• Zimaths- a magazine for high school students that I worked on a lot as an undergrad.
• Non-linear dynamics. A long list that left me very confused.
• Math Biology Good survey document.
• Quotes from Doron Zeilberger
• Advice to a young scientist like me

I hesitate to put more math links as that might give the impression that I know more math than I actually do.

You know something? I used to think math was fun once. Now I just think of it as a powerful tool. I think that's pretty sad. Maybe one day I'll fall in love with it again for its own sake.

As for the jokes on the left, they're a remnant of a time when I had more time. In other words I may only update them next summer (postscript: the summer in mind has since come and gone, so ignore this) when I reorganise my life, universe, hard drive and room. A few of the jokes are original -- you'll know them when you see them and suddenly find yourself at a sink.

Serious WARNING: To anyone who ever meets me in future, please for god's sake don't expect me to be funny. Graduate school has made me a lot more serious, subdued and cautious in life. This may be a short-term thing, but time will tell. (Actually, Time has yet to tell me anything but I've heard she's more open to handing out information to others.)

And this lovable creature is me thinking about life.
