Life continues weird

Dinesh, Kavita and Venkatesh have all been quite lovely in terms of giving me some work to do and calling me 'intern' a lot (which apparently means a lot of free coffee). Of course, most of the tasks that I've been given (like designing shirts and editing the wiki for the TGC workshop) are things that I have no idea how to do. So I feel a bit like a kid given the cake-bowl to stir, but am having a lot of fun anyway.

Got up at six this morning to drop Venkatesh off at the airport, and then D, K and I went for a walk along the beach. Minor detours to take photos of the titanium-oxide-heavy (?) effluent that a chemical plant there dumps straight into the sea - a greeny-blue colour, a bad smell, and it was steaming. Talked to some of the fishermen there...lots of guys who go off to Dubai and other places to work. D volunteered me to play capoeira, which seems to be the intern-task that I can currently achieve most ably.

Also went to TechPark here to have a look at Some Stuff, and discovered there was a Barcamp there on Saturday that none of us knew about.

And now I am really, really, tuckered out.

Thanks :) I also think wikis are pretty awesome, but I've only just started playing with them (I made my first wikipedia edit a couple of weeks ago and felt very proud).

I just kind of worked stuff out by looking at some of the other pages, but I think there are a few things I've missed so I'll have a look at those links.
