About Me
What do you do?
I am a programmer with a special interest in cryptography. In my free time, I am an open source hacker. These days I spend my free time with Nutch, an open source search engine.
How can I talk to you?
I am usually online as spal (my nick) on various IRC networks when I am free. If you want to talk to me, some good places to look for me would be #not-math, #math, #python, etc. at irc.freenode.net.
Are you Web 2.0 compatible?
Yes, to some extent. Though I find it difficult to keep track of all the emerging web 2.0 websites since, I have accounts in some of them. I don't update myself regularly in all of them but here are a few links that you might find interesting: photo album, blog, bookmarks, twitter.
What does Susam mean?
I am not sure. However, my parents say it is a fusion of two words "su"
and "sam". "su" stands for good. "sam" stands for balance. So it should
mean a balance of good things. Most people find it difficult to
pronounce my name. Please note that the second syllable of my name
should be pronounced as "some" and not "sam" as in the Linux command
su sam. Here's the IPA pronunciation: /sʊsʌm/.
