Arun Murti Knows Everything
If you ever have any sort of problems, find this man. If you think he’s got no way to possibly help you out with something, run it by him anyway and enjoy surprise. A round of applause for Arun Murti. I was going to post this a couple months ago when it was the last straw after he saved me tons of time on a project by telling me about TinEye, where you can upload a picture you have, and it’ll find it or the original unmodified version of it online. This was just one of many incidents. Do you have a blog entry you want to post where you think you found something out that’ll be cool or funny, or think you’ve found something critical about something? Run it by him first as he may save you embarrassment/retraction. Need general life advice? Murt! Etc, etc.
I don’t know if I’ve ever met such a calm and pleasant human container of knowledge and expertise. One of my hobbies is to think of things to tell him about that he somehow might not know of. The only pain he provides is the anguish of knowing him and knowing that Jeopardy exists, yet not being able to convince the two to meet!!
