Leaving
I’m going to Turkey for the next two weeks. I’ll attend 3 weddings of my 5 close friends from high school in those 2 weeks. Then, i’ll visit my sis in Germany for 2-3 days. After that, wait for me San Francisco 
I’ll be at Cisco, doing an internship. In the meantime, I’m planning to do lots of background reading for my research (cryptography). So, my plan is to work during weekdays, read crypto at weeknights, and have fun visiting lots of new nearby places during weekends. If I can accomplish my plan, it’d be a very nice summer.
After summer? I’ll be back, hopefully with new project ideas.
Have a nice summer…
Time to post
I guess it’s time to post again. So, there was a bomb blast in Ankara today

I had no problems with anyone, but some events (including but not only this) made me think that really “Türkün Türkten başka dostu yoktur”.
I AM SO PISSED OFF !!!
(put some curses to fill in the blanks …
i don’t want to curse explicitly)
Ruckus
OK, I have advertised lots of other services I use, why not advertise Ruckus too?
So, it’s a free music service for college students (mainly in US). You register with your college e-mail address, and then you can download and play tons of music on your computer. Of course, it’s legal and free.
Why wait? Go to

Photos
I have uploaded some new photos and improved the quality of the previous ones (since now we have 1GB of free space on picasa web). Check them out (more to come later).
Informative Chatting
Today I had the chance to sit and talk with Natali and Duygu, something I realized I was missing. I remembered old days when we just sat and talked about serious but unrelated, fun but important issues for hours. We can no longer do that..
It was very informative for me. I love listening to people, especially people whose opinions I value. I also like talking, but I guess I like listening more. Maybe as everything else, we should better balance them too.
Thanks girls
By the way, this reminded me of our Starbucks talks in our first year, equivalent to the cafe talks in Turkey, though sometimes much more intellectual.
