What does it feel like to be hunted by the FBI?
Although the FBI was contacting my neighbors and friends, they were not really hunting for me. I was serving in the military and had to come home on emergency leave since one of my parents had passed away. During the wake, while I was greeting visitors inside the funeral home, one of them told me that the FBI had come to his home asking questions about me. Although he only had good things to report about me, he did want to know what kind of trouble I was in. He left after I told him that I don’t remember ever breaking any laws. That is when I started to get worried. In fact, I was so confused and scared that I was afraid to walk out of the funeral home thinking agents were waiting outside to handcuff and arrest me. Since there was still more visitation time, I remained inside as I searched through my memory trying to figure out why the FBI is asking about me.Well, I never did get arrested and I finally figured it out. Some months before I left on emergency leave, my commander wanted to assign me a new classified duty that required a higher security clearance than what I had. So it turns out the FBI was conducting a routine BI (Background Investigation). I figured this out after I realized that all the people who were interviewed were the references I listed on my application to become a Navy officer.Wow! That was a relief.UPDATE - Apparently the Background Investigation of me went well because my military security clearance upgrade was approved.

What is GitHub for a beginner and how do I get started with it?
I'll give you an example from one of my personal projects.A couple of my friends and I had worked were working on a multiplayer typing race game, something like typeracer.com. We had never created a Graphical User Interface (GUI). So we used to experiment with different functions and before experimenting, we used to keep a backup of the old file.After a couple of weeks, we had 10 files out of which only 1 was useful in the end product. The filenames were like:- file_v1_0, file_v1_1, file_v1_2, file_v1_3, ..., file_v2, ...So basically, we were sort of trying to perform version control in a very naive way :)Github will help you perform version control in a very sophisticated manner. You can make changes to files and roll back to previous versions whenever you want.If you want to keep making changes to a file and include it in a project only when it is working in a stable manner, you can do that by creating a new branch and making all the changes there. When you think your branch is ready and stable, you can merge the changes of this new branch to your original source.Hence, Github reduces redundancy in version control and helps you to keep your project folder clean and well-managed, and allows rolling back to previous versions flexibly :)Not just that, Github also makes it easy for several people working on a project to collaborate and make all their changes to a common repository.To try/learn some github basics, check out this link - http://try.github.com/To create your own github.io page, follow the steps mentioned here - https://pages.github.com/
