PS – The old Dean came when we were playing FIFA / wc. He was cool abt it for a change

PS1 – too tired to think of ps’s

the internet

This post is a complete fabrication. No portion of this post is true. It is intended in best of humour.

What if you were the sysadmin? And you were asked to explain why the internet was so slow. Here are some responses …
Response 1

Since we have a wireless connection, the actual throughput depends on the weather.

Response 2

Since we have a wireless connection, mobile phone signals interfere with it. So, if everyone was to stop using mobile phones we would get better speeds.

Response 3

We have implemented a dynamic load balancing algorithm at the proxy server. Any IP that is not using the internet gets priority. We are going to publish this in a reputed journal. And then you all can kiss our asses.

Response 4

Its not the problem with our internet connection. Its just that the particular site that you want to open is being DOS’d at that time

Response 5

Its the ISP

Response 6

We are running a warez / pr0n site. We are going to be floating in $$$$. So long jackasses.

Response 7

Read BOFH. Your life is way better than that.

Response 8

MUHAHAHAHAHAHA

Response 9
Because we also like to use the internet. At full speed

Response 10

MUHAHAHAHAHAHA

PS – If anyone has a smart ass comment please do comment

PS1 – This post was inspired by siddarth ravi M

PS2 – I have not studied for a day.

PS3 – If someone can implement Ranta’s idea it’d rock.

the good life

Went swimming yesterday. As I came back the chai+samosa wala was here. Got two samosas and a tea and came back to the room. Started watching an episode of scrubs. That is when I realised, that I was totally happy. At that point of time, with JD jabbering about in his head, and me eating a samosa I felt content and at peace, for the first time in a long time.

Then, the samosas finished. The tea finished. The episode of scrubs finished. And I was dragged back into reality faster than you can say “floxinoxihillifillification”.

———————————————-

PS – ate breakfast after a long time

PS1 – rumours of manish having an account on various matrimony sites

PS2 – just realized I should be studying GRE instead of blogging.

PS3 – hoping for some dota / fifa today

PS4 – I did beat peesu the other day

PS5 – The debut post in the philosophy category

of bad programming and stuff to do

Well, there was this new game on campus. It was called Titan Quest 2. It’s a mouse heavy RPG. Almost the same as diablo. Now, I was like “Woo-Hoo something different to play. “. It’d be like last year’s summers when we played diablo on the LAN.

Enter Reminiscing mode

(yeah, i know its kind of insipid but still, it was fun). Back then, sham used to wake up early, gain two more levels and then host multiplayer when me, neeraj, and manish would be trying to get atleast 2% of the inventory and a little bit of gold.

Exit Reminicing mode

Alas, that was not to be. Titan Quest 2 seems to be another one of those games that crashes a heck of a lot. It’s like the developers did not have enough time to finish the game fully. They just released it with the intention of fixing it all in a patch later on. And that really sucks.

There seem to be some new games on campus. ANd also, some new ones coming up. Sadly, I seem to be a little crappish on the time management scene. Have a ton of work (well it feels tonnish mostly becuase I dont do much of it).

The silver lining on this dark cloud of work is that the BTP is in a decent position. Compared to last month atleast.

And speaking of clouds it has decided to rain again. The rain is seriously irritating. I say, it rain properly for a couple of hours. It’s like the motif of July + August is “Welcome to rainland. Today’s schedule – a light drizzle thats just the right amount of irritating”.

Yesterday was independence day. (Oh Wait. It was day before). Surprisingly the guard did not wake me up at 0700 hours (that has been the tradition for the last two years). Anyhoo, I did miss season 1 (the morning show) which had Prof. PKR in a tizzy over a play. (I did not see the play). I did however arrive in time for the supposed starting of the evening show. Mostly, extremely self conscious until Neeraj showed up (I was in shorts while everyone else was in full pants).

It started off with some commentry and then there were some rather quaint plays by a few children. There was also a song by 3 kids, one of whom did not wish to share the mike with the others. Probably like Sonu Nigame (hehe, when you make it Nigame, it sounds africanish).

Then there was a play in Telegu. The acting seemed nice. Of course it was all OHT. I thought I heard some phrases like “Those sarees are not for me” or something else to do with golgappas but that was probably because I have no idea of what was being said.

The fusion was not my style of music and I left soon after.

Oh, and there was a decent dance somewhere in between. They did the entire dancing with diyas and stuff. Cudos to the guy who managed to relight his diya after it extinguished (for want of a better word … )

But, on the whole it was gg to the cultural council and whoever organized / took part in the whole whatchamacallit.

Wow !!! This has been one lb post (long + boring).

the rain

There are two reasons for writing on the rain :

1. Its been irritating us all to such an extent that we are frustoo.

2. Its extremely boring …

3. Everyone is writing on the rain.

ok. so the final verdict. it should stop raining asap so that we can do something … (dota / bf2 / btp / something)

Anyway, the rain does bring out some funny pictures …

Look at bond bhai (thx for the lunch the other day)

And the placements secretary (this picture does not do full justice to his gunda’ish looks)

Oh, and yours truely can be seen roaming around with shorts and a dilapated, dusty, brown coloured half – sleeved sweater …

Abbulu can be seen showing off his various tattoos (I dont know how many he has …, I am just generalizing)

The rest of the fellowship was not available because they had gone to Middleware class (the unbeliavably oblivious to environmental condition type jackasses)

HalleyJi and Spawn were still sleeping at the time of this post.

Get Rich !! Quick !!

Of late I’d been wondering, how do I go about making a ton of money …

So, I investigated (more like closed my eyes, imagined the “Bahamas”) and came up with the following (I am only sharing this because it is absurd enough to work)…

Get Rich !! Quick !! Scheme 1

Already started implementing this scheme. Basically, it goes like this …

(a) Coin a new word in English – for example – blurk

(b) Put it on a blog or somewhere to prove that you were the first to come up with it

(c) Wait until some other chap thinks of the same thing and adds it to the Oxford English Dictionary.

(d) Sue his ass … Sue his ass all the way to China for as much as you think the chap in question could afford (if you are lucky that chap is “Bill Gates” and “Bill Gates” can afford a lot).

Get Rich !! Quick !! Scheme 2

This is a guaranteed sure shot scheme. Actually, its not so much a scheme as is using the talents that you have. Did you know, that David Beckham earns approximately 100,000 pounds a week for kicking a ball around in park?? Anyway, Scheme 2 follows the same principle. After all, what could be easier than kicking a ball …

Of course, some of you are like, Woah !! David Beckham plays for Real Madrid. I am never going to get good enough to play there. Dont worry … my footballistically challenged friends … all you gotta do is play for some club in the EPL (preferably Manchester United).

Sounds simple – doesn’t it

Get Rich !! Quick !! Scheme 3

Wokay … this is the hardest scheme of them all … all you gotta do is convince this chap here … to give you some shares in his latest venture ‘CGI’  …

This chap refers to the one and only, the guy who has projects at sourceforge, the guy who is a master at chess (he defeats me ( … even after one year of intensive practice), the guy who thinks huha-ness is next to cleanliness, the guy who is the k-man.

I think you get who I am talking about …
