Its Spring!

Fear: They'll copy us
Truth: It's about the execution, not the idea.

from Fear, shark attacks, and "Will it scale?" over at Signal vs. Noise.

What do you think?

Gorgeous Place.And a abeautiful photograph!

Though I'm slightly afraid, if you actually have so many buildings.Unless ofcourse 74 is symbolic of something else.

Oh, and yes, the quote is so very true too!

Haha. Here at Monash, all the buildings are numbered and the Monash Science Centre (which is far from being a secret base of any sort) happens to be Building 74.

Well Sumedh, turns out we DO have so many buildings (there are 80 on the map) and that sure didn't help my legs on the first day at Monash. Felt like I was on some treasure hunt with a map and stuff :).

Two things, first, the photo is too good (As always) but I think you could have cropped it a bit more on the left, the yellow spot at the bottom spoils the lush green scenery and second, I didn't understand a single bit of what you have written.

well, in that case you could have cropped from the bottom and not from the side!! And I still feel that there should not have been a southern hemisphere. The difference in weather really confuses me....

You took off the gravatar thingy???

P.S. Nag, try to delete your history or try some other browser, maybe then you'll get 'why' its not working! If even after that you don't get it working then whats the big deal in typing?

First of all, I've updated the pic into a "lush green" one. Have another look at it (probably after refreshing if you still see the yellow patches).
Secondly, the auto-complete issue is only with Safari and that's not due to the browser's history. I've mailed Nag the reason why such a thing is happening. And as for
