College

What all happens at my college!

Marsh.

When you by mistake stamp on quick sand… Or a marsh… You always realize it a bit too late… The terror of losing the very thing you love, your life, strikes your heart and you claw and do everything you can to get out from there… To regain the thing you love… But that only makes matters worse… You just keep going deep into it… Inch by inch.. You lose hope, you lose faith… You try to think of something but everything comes into your head together… You are dead, dead for sure… Unless, unless a helping hand, unexpected, comes and reaches for you. The hand pulls you out and gives you your most precious back… But in a marsh where no man dares to go, where will such a hand come from? Someone have to have followed you… Or someone must’ve been there close enough to hear your cry for help…

Sudden brakes are bad news.

Just because we’re not prepared for it. Whatever the journey be, whoever is doing the journey, sudden brakes just ruins it completely. Your heart gets thrown into your esophagus first, then your interior ventriculum upsets your bile secretions thereby fusing your brain momentarily. It takes a few seconds to fully realize what the hell happened and that happens only once you’re thrown back in your seat. But by that time, you’re back to your old state…

Now I assume that you’re wondering what’s with all the brakes and stuff… Thing is, college closed a certain day at noon just like that. Its vacation now and all my senses tell me that I’ll realize I’m in my vacation only when the college reopens. And by that time, you’ve already been thrown back into your seat. You’ll just have to resume the journey… No complaining. Just trust the driver.

The rotation wire cutter.

What is the world coming to when people don’t have any respect for public property?

Okay, there is this fan that rotates (the table fan kinda thing, the only difference being that its on the wall) in front of the class above the blackboard. It is supposed to cool the first two benchers of the first two rows while entering the class. However, due to an unfortunate turn of events, some nasty, putrid scallawagger cut the two pull-a-chords of the fan. One was for speed. Alright, let it be because you can get on the table and use the speed regulator on the fan. But what about the rotation chord??? Why did that bugglyjopper have to cut that?? Idiot. Now the fan can face only one way and the sun isn’t showing any mercy.

Our and our neighboring benchers even got on a small fight over the matter of who deserves the fan more. At last compromises like “one day for you and one day for us” were reached. But its bull. The heat really is unbearable.

I still marvel at that squishgumper who cut that rotation wires…

Shalin Jain.

The inaugural programme of Abacus. He came and delivered the stunning talk on entrepreneurship at our college, NSSCE Palakkad. We have someone to look upto. Nice and calm guy with a lot of tastes. Hope his first trip to Kerala was unforgettable! 😀

The art of holding a CPU.

Today at first, my friend ponnappan AKA Sharat and me brought down the CPU, keyboard, mouse, power cable and  the projector, UPS, respectively, to class. (Feel free to comment on my unusual sentence constructions). He managed to hold onto the CPU as one holds on to their dear life sometimes..

After its use, me and one of my other friends, Manu, decided to put it back. On the way. he wasn’t much impressed by the construction of the CPU… He said, “How do you hold this stupid thing??”. I replied, “Dude, blog about ‘the art of holding a CPU'”.

I do hope he does that because some nutcases really need to have some practicality shoved into their cerebellums or whatever… (I stopped Bio from my tenth grade). It really was a horrible design and completely un-hold-able!!!!

Procrastination.

Having GSoC to spend time on, having LR(1) parser table filling algorithm to study to take seminar on , having ES and DBMS assignments to write, having my mini project in front of me, I’m having fun with my blog!!!! Guys, don’t go for the definition of procrastination to Oxford diary. Just come over here.:D But I must say it is much more fun than having a facebook or orkut account.:)

Guide not happy.

Since I gave the GloMoSim back to the guy who gave it to me, he was not happy. Now I don’t know what our project’s future is going to be. But to go with what you love is better than to go with something you have to force yourself to like. And also, even he hasn’t got much idea about it. So if we get stuck somewhere in the middle, that’s it.

Anyway, we did submit our abstract yesterday. A short one. I need to do more research on it. I’m not able to answer to his questions well enough. So I’m on it.

Everything that “glo’s” is not gold.

They haven’t actually even released a glomosim package for debian or ubuntu. I downloaded the one for redhat linux 7.2 and tried crooked ways of installing it. Like copying the executables such as pcc and parsecc into /usr/bin. But there was something wrong with the PCC_DIRECTORY environmental variable and I couldn’t run the make command within the glomosim directory. I’ve decided to do what I like and go for the web application. Thank you!!!
