Me and my company!!!

An unusual start to an otherwise normal day.

Reached IIT earlier than usual, the irony being it was raining heavier than any other day in the week.
As expected my lab was shut and since I didnt have the key permissions I had to wait outside in the hall. Now the CSRE building where I work is a 3 storey building, with a central hall like room whose roof is dome shaped and is 3 floors high.
I had an hour to kill and was wondering how I could pass my time, when suddenly I see a stone fall beside me. I look up and to my surprise see a family of monkeys desperately trying to find their way out.
So, here we were ,me waiting to go in and they waiting to go out. The next hour passed by with me observing them and they keeping a keen eye on me, either all prepared to attack me or just hoping that I'll be their messiah and let them out.

Kind of reminded me of the story I heard as a child...the one with the Hatseller and the monkeys. It was surreal.

Segmentation Fault...Core dumped!!!!!!!

Once again, my apologies for not being regular with my posts. But the fact is during the last week I have hardly got anytime to spare. Its not because I have been really busy, which I have been, but I have had to commute to IIT everyday which has literally left me just enough time for my sleep.

Life @ IIT is nice. I just absolutely love this place. Most of the day I am by myself, all alone, but still I dont feel lonely. I guess after the JEE debacle this stint at IIT as a JRF (Junior Research Fellow) is my salvation. Hopefully I shall enjoy the entire period just like I have been doing so far. Fingers crossed...Please GOD...dont let any frustration set in!!!

Speaking of frustration, for some one who has used Windows all his life (umm ok not all life..last 3-4 years)..programming in Linux is a pain!!!!!!!!!! And thats why the title of this post... I had been struggling with this fault in my program for the last 3 days..

Anyways, thats all that has been happening!!! Shall update whenever I find time like today... Came onto Windows specially to blog (since n/w settings in linux not properly configured)... Better get back to Linux now ;-)

WINDOWS ROCKS!!!!

P.s: Dont get me wrong I am sure those who say Linux is far superior are right...jus that I dont know how to use it. Ignorance is bliss!!

Food for thought: Linus Torvald made Linux open (free) cos he knew no one would buy it.. heheh ;-)

Yawnnnnn

Exams over!!!!!

Its a wierd feeling... No more exams...no more spce...... everyone has either already moved on or beginning too....

Its different not only because the exams have ended but the fact that the routine has too.. It is hard to believe that no longer do we have to go back to college...

There is suddenly a big VOID in my life now... It is just really wierd.......

Sigh ;-(

Random!!!

Check out this link
Picked it up from some blog.

A group of guys at MIT have developed a program to generate random...and i mean RANDOM.. papers. Try it out!!! The paper you generate looks absolutely authentic and original.

Whats more,, one of such random papers even got selected for a conference..

P.s: Who was the one who said such a thing happens "only in India" ;;-))
