Hi there!
My name is Venkat Raghavan, and welcome to my website. You will find miscellaneous (and hopefully interesting and useful) information about my interests and thoughts.
I was a graduate student at the University of Texas at Arlington. Details of the academic projects can be found on the projects page.
I havent read much in the past 2 years, but I believe I’ve picked very good books to read. Currently, I am reading “Godel, Escher and Bach: An eternal Golden Braid” by Douglas R. Hofstadter. My “favourite books” list can be found in this blog post .
Listening to music is one of my passions. The bands I mostly listen to are Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Rush and Pearl Jam. However, I listen to most of my music online nowadays.
My experiments with various operating systems, like Windows, Mac OS X and Linux have led me to settle down with Ubuntu, a linux distro for human beings. The philosophy and quality of the software, and the great user community have helped me make that choice. Go Ubuntu!
I contribute a little bit back to Ubuntu, by spending time on #ubuntu,#kubuntu on irc://irc.freenode.net and sometime added information on the ubuntu wiki. I also work on EasyUbuntu and am the maintainer of the Kubuntu Desktop Guide.
That’s it from me, and hope you enjoy your stay here!
