GOOOOOOGLE ALL THE WAY......(again)

FUCK MOZILLA FIREFOX!!! WHY THE HELL DID I INSTALL THE NEW MOZILLA UPDATES AND WHY THE HELL DIDN'T MY DRAFT GET SAVED???

FUCK THIS...I'M IN NO POSITION OR MOOD TO RE-WRITE THE WHOLE POST AGAIN...NO FUCKING WAY!

Let me highlight the important points...

1. Google Talk Beta created (still is...) a sensation all over India (as far as I know...), Yahoo == endangered IM???

2. Timetables are not for a guy like me, screw them...

3. Midsems are just couple of days away and I still have no clue about the OS syllabus...

4. I'm very very pissed of at this stupid browser, Firefox, funny that I'm still posting from the same browser :P

5. Can't think of any...

My shortest post until now? Hmmm...this browser better behave well tomorrow...

HAIL DC++!!!

Probably one of the best file sharing softwares ever created, DC++. The downloads are fast and incomplete downloads are saved as well. If the user is not available, the download starts from that same point but from a different user. COOOOOOOOOL isn't it?
Yesterday Revanth told me about another fascinating feature of DC++, simultaneous download of loads of files in the same directory from all users who have them. Completed my CZ download in 2 min, yeah 2 min!, from 25 users :P...1.5GB in 2 fucking minutes!!!

Today Sasank created another DC++ hub with one of the UG2 computers running as the server. I was thinking of that as well, couldn't get my hands on the scripts though. But the server is too slow, maybe it's because of the configuration of the computer. 128MB RAM...WOW...startx in LINUX takes a couple of minutes to load in such computers. We talked to Pudi today, reminding him about the RAM upgrades...he told us that it may take 10 days more...oh well, a little more waiting won't hurt would it? CSE people are still 10 computers short. Talked to MBP loads of times and he keeps saying "today evening...tomorrow morning...blah, blah, blah..." Hope we get those computers soon as I'm planning to make some good use out of my lab computer, I hope RJ agrees :D

Thought of a new plan 2 days ago (haven't implemented it yet)...sleeping at 11PM and waking up at 6AM and go for PT most probably. I was planning to start that from today but the "SCARY MOVIE I" and its sequels kept me wide awake with some serious stomach pains due to unstoppable laughter...SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re-installed my XP and Fedora Core 4 yesterday, all night long. My actual CD was full of scratches and so Kirthi told me to make a fresh copy and then install XP. His idea worked well as I completed the whole process in 20 minutes. Then came the LINUX part...took me a whopping 90 minutes...a new all time record...

Didn't sleep yesterday (guess today will be the same case as well...current time is 2:30AM)....and so made full use of PK's, Pudi's and Sarkar's classes....slept the whole time...just wish there wasn't any compulsory attendence eh? They could atleast reduce the cut-off!

Talked to parents today, today being their 20th marriage anniversary. Funny that my father's birthday falls exactly a week after mine and their anniversary today...

Midsems starting next week...just can't wait :P...guess thats all for now...goodnight!

No title... :D "S.S.D.D"

Just completed watching the 6th episode of the Star Wars saga...very entertaining, especially the part where Ford and his team attack the enemy with the help of some creatures which look very much like small teddy bears. The first 3 episodes might have to wait until the mid-sems are over.

Did the assignment on my own this time, thanks to Shashank, Kirthi and Bhaskar obviously...the problems were quite easy, except for the last one which noone in my wing or maybe GHEB attempted. The problem itself was 1.5 pages long!!! Have to prepare for the mid-sems well, looking forward to a good GPA this sem...my ticket to stay here in IIIT.

Went to the canteen to try the chaat...but they ran out of samosas, pathetic...Can't they estimate how many items they are selling everyday? They stopped serving Chinese as they were not able to cash in on them. Thats not fair! What about some of those who do wish to eat such food when the mess gets boring or just like that? All the chaat items are horrible, samosa ragada is OK but...Well it's my opinion...
THE CANTEEN IS SUCKING AND THE MESS IS MORE PREFERABLE NOW...


Still have to start the OS assignment. Guess I must start on it tomorrow as it's due the day after. Shashank said that it's easy, just some 100 odd lines of code which is good compared to the 250 line ls.c. However, the system commands are kind of confusing in the man pages. Also, some logic is required for redirection operators, wild characters and piping...as Robert Frost wrote in one of his poem....
And miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep...

Messed up CZ game...

Woke up at 10AM today...missed the convocation...wanted to see the faces of all those seniors, glistening with joy and reflecting the colour of their convocation robes. 4 more years for me I guess!

Started my day with a couple of rounds of CZ as usual, we had a match scheduled against Zombies, a tough clan. Then it was time for the game between G.I.JOE and Siths. G.I.JOE actually won...against all odds...Never had I seen Koyya snipe like that, as if it were Koyya in the first place...so what if one loses a game? This is not the matter of life and death right? So why cheat? If you can't play properly then try to improve your game, but cheating?? TOTALLY FUCKED UP!!!

Anyway, I deleted CZ from my pc...not that I won't play it anymore :D . The fact is that after the current CZ tourney, everyone will switch to CS 1.6...

Started playing Cricket 2005 as well. Nice game, graphics and all. It's tough to play and thats what makes it very interesting to play...

Hopefully I will wake up in time tomorrow and start the SnS assignment which I thought was due on 23rd. Unfortunately it's due tomorrow night.

Have to go now and play some cricket ;)...

After a 2 month break...

I finally started blogging...Gosh! It has been a very long time indeed...There were various occasions when I thought of starting my blog again but my I guess my laziness got the better of me. Anyway, here I am, pouring down all thoughts into this uhh...e-pensieve...please don't kick me!

Woke up at 8:15AM today, a little too early for PK's class, well thats what we all thought until today. I told Ravi to take it easy as he kept urging me to move fast else PK will shut the door. However, PK had already enacted his tough and mean lookingpart by the time we got there. There we were, standing with some 100 odd students cracking jokes and enjoying ourselves as if nothing happened. Some people tried convincing sir into letting us in but in vain. I told Ravi that this is crap and to come with me to the hostel...obviously for some rounds of CZ. CZ in the morning...hmmmm...man I love this game!

On our way back to the hostel, we met T3 aka Shashikant anna who asked us if we wanted to play Quake in their labs as Mr.Sam Babu or is it Shyam...whatever had blocked the ports through which WLAN people can connect to wired LAN...for gaming obviously. No problem for CZ though...gg :P

Didn't play any Quake at all most of the pcs had passwords and others didn't have QUAKE in them. We waited for 30 min. to download the game, 230KBps...can you believe it?? wired LAN to wired LAN ??? So we finally got fed up with the download and started playing CZ in their pcs. Those few rounds I played there, I faced hell. Stupid keyboard, mouse, table, chair and the most important of all...PC itself! Just couldn't imagine how the seniors managed to play on those computers.

Soon it was time for Remo's class but Ravi and I thought we had better things to do :P ...and the first thing on our minds was the shell assignment of which we still have no clue where to start from...But as soon as I opened my door, Ravi and I looked at each other at the same time and gave each other that evil smile that meant..."FUCK SHELL, LETS PLAY!!!". Ravi started playing DOOM III and I was learning some commands useful for the OS assignment.

Not even 15 min. had passed when the small shortcut on Ravi's pc ( his pc is TOO good for DOOM III...ROFL ) caught my eye. Yeah, yeah, "Shortcut to CZ". 2 more clicks and voila! I was hunting for servers like a dog. Soon I found a senior's server and played in it until it was time for VP's class.

After the morning shock, all the students rushed for the class only to find out that the over punctual VP didn't turn up himself. So, do we lock him out then? I looked at Chinni and told him that I ain't wasting any more of my precious time for this crappy class...not the subject!!!

Came back to room and started watching the movie "Catch Me If You Can". Half hour later, Lingam came to me and told me that the SithLords wanted a match against the Jedi Warriors ( thats us! LOL ). I told him fine and stopped the movie and joined some server. The SithLords never turned up and I ended up playing CZ until 5PM.

Went to the canteen to try the new chat and pani puri but the owner said that it would a few more minutes ( which in reality == 1hr ). So we had some samosas and went back to the hostel. Completed the movie and slept...wanted to rest before our match against the ROT ( Return Of Titans ). Ravi arrived later and both had some really good biryani from Anupama, Ameerpet.

As expected, we lost to ROT...very hard...managed to get 1 win out of 13. Personally, I think we could have done better with more practice but now lite.
After that we watched "Star Wars V : Empire Strikes Back". My first time watching the series, and they are good.

Started playing CZ again after that movie with some OBH guys. What crappy players...not that I was like them a few months ago...but they just can't shut their fucking mouths...keep on commenting and talking bullshit...I can't stand it coming out of a n00b's mouth. Sickos...

Phew....30 min into this blog now...hope to be regular from today atleast...got a match with Zombies clan...what if we win this?? LOL Great Expectations...
