I've been kind of looking for a guy I used to know. His name is Raja Kalidas and he attended Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. He wrote a paper called "Deposition and Characterization of Thin Films of Metals and Compounds," in 1986 towards his Masters Degree. (I found that tidbit of info on the school's website.) Searching the web, the only other vague lead I have is a site citing a paper called "Field Performance of Hybrid Power Systems" and it brought up this info with the listing: Raja Kalidas. David Corbus. charles_newcomb@nrel.gov. Raja_Kalidas@nrel.gov. david_corbus@nrel.gov. So, i tried to pull up the page and it gives me the cover of said paper but won't go beyond that. Weird. Then I tried opening up the homepage of the place, www.nrel.gov. I got that fine but when I did a search of employees, no Raja Kalidas. I befriended him while he was at SIUC in the 80s. We used to drink and talk about the possibilities of other dimensions and stuff. The last I heard of him, he was going to ride his bicycle to California. I don't know if he did but I suspect he might have. He was wanting to develop more efficient solar panels when I knew him, but I suspect he's probably branched out by now. If anybody out there might know a guy who fits this description, have him come take a look at this blog. I'd love to at least be able to e-mail with him, see how his life has been. I haven't seen him since the late 80s. I know this is a shot in the dark, but I haven't got anything to loose.
