Ramblings of an Eccentric Soul…

It amazes me clearly and everytime that I learn something new. Unlike other things in life, time has not rubbed its monotonous paw over “learning”. Well, I think possibly that is one of the reasons we move on, strive, and hopefully in the end thrive.
Well, anyway, was taking a look at Divya’s blog and sorta [...]

So, today marked the final set of stuff that we have to do with college, save for the stable University Exams. They start on the 16th of May, which essentially means that this soul has some freedom and time to kill. So, it gets time to plan things out - study the time and try [...]

Just when you thought that world was saved from a mammoth of a problem called Y2k[check out Y2k for an associated set of problems], up comes another one. This time, the premise is on a more beautiful date setting.
It will be due to the simple overflow of an int data type - time_t.
Early UNIX programmers [...]

Breakable
Breakable
Glittering, shimmering were the pieces
And the passers by breathed “Oh Jesus”
Surrounding her was her skirt, with blood-stained creases
Slowly, slightly into well worn grooves
Surviving, striving hard, life moves
Moves past her, past the bright change that was strewn loose
A stream through the thick
A pall that shades over everything, a sudden flick
When the angel was swept away by [...]

Nopes, not the ever poular Men in Black, but it’s with a change - Men in BACK - the class team who have self proclaimed their aloofness in physical participation to anything that the class does, but will of course provide with the complete “MORAL, LOGICAL support” [quoting Sreekumar]. They have come up with a [...]

Well, Remin got creative [as usual, during the series times... =D, else he just sleeps], and created an interesting picture. Hehe! Titled “deCollapse 2035″. He claims that it’s Sid on the left and Moi on the right. =D! Missing are the two other to be co-founders of deCollapse Inc. - Gautam and Anoop.

I cannot beleive [...]

I came across this article on the Web on how “techies” _have_ to think outside coding =D. Pretty interesting read =)! Have underlined some interesting points, and substituted some relevant links that came out of some googling! Information enclosed within brackets [ ] are my thoughts as I read through the article, and _NOT_ the [...]

Whaddya know? A 9KB patch and a 1.12KB patch would be the reason for unfound happiness =)! Released by pcgamemods.com, the patch is for those cards who are not getting reflections as a result of running HL2 and CSS in the DX8 mode. The patch is very small, and the best part - ZERO PERFORMANCE [...]

So, every blogger has an RSS feed. Why? Well, for the simple reason that it is goddamn useful to make your site popular amongst the blog “readers”. These people want to read all the updated blogs under one hood [usually a news reader or an RSS feed reader]. For e.g. I use Thunderbird for my [...]

Over ice cream today, there sparked off a tiny piece of debate that is still ringing in my mind while I am typing this through. But, I wanted to collect my thoughts regarding this and then present the matter. Well, I guess instead of a comparison first, I think I will present the facts on [...]

This is defi gonna be my reunion toast. Credit goes to the genius who wrote this
Reunion
oh! the last 20 years has gone so sooner,
The great college days, I started remembering,
Seems like only yesterday I finished engineering.
Seeing my class mates, after 20 years,
My eyes were filled with tears,
Everyone has changed a lot,
No one escaped nature’s plot.
Guys [...]

It’s over… finito… A reality check just hit me, and made me take stock of my life today - it was the last day of regular classes for my undergraduate studies. It’s all over. Now all that remain are a string of internal and external evaluations to get me the glorious degree. It was a [...]
