Failing..

Hi Again, I am failing in a lot of things nowadays, though. For example, I failed to Draw my Record Drawing properly. I failed to give Directions to Ilyas to my House, Since I don't even know them. And, lots and lots of things like this... And, one thing which Really upsets me, is that I am failing at my Cricket Fielding. In cricket, I am an extrordinarily poor Batsman and an Average Bowler, but I pride myself with my Fielding, especially Catching. I had swift Leg Movement, thanks to my Karate, and swift Hand Movement too, thanks to practice... But, Nowadays, I am failing even at Catching. My Feet Movement has become much better and much more Sophisticated and Precise, due to my even better Karate Practice. But, my Hand Movement is getting almost Zero, which I suspect is due to the CTS which I suffer from.... For Example, Yesterday Afternoon, I played Cricket at School. I am usually the Boundary Fielder when an Explosive Batsman is batting and a Close-Up Fielder when someone like Dravid or Kaif is batting. But, yesterday, I counted 7 Catches to me, and dropped 6 of them, of which I got my hand to the Ball covering around 2 Feet in Less than A Second, only to have them hit my hand and bounce back, Since my hands aren't obeying me:(( The Only Catch I took yesterday was a Rather high one, and that too, It first bounced off my hand and I caught it on second attempt.... Seems I am failing at a lot of things... And Today, I failed at Warlords:( My Level 36 Hero was killed in a really stupid way, by a small Archer! How it happened was, I had my speakers off and, I couldn't hear the Hero Warnings, as being attacked from a Cliff. So, he died......... A Month's work wasted:(( But, I'd build a new one, and surely, will have him much more powerfull than my present one... And, I hope and pray that I don't fail in the coming Children's Day Competietions and the School Website..... And thanks to Sunil for comming up with an Innovative method for Determining the presence of ASP.NET on a Server. Thanks Sunil! Thanks, and Be Right Back....

Drained..

Hi Again, Some Time back, when people used to say that the STD X is breaking their Back, I used to laugh and say that that won't happen to me. But, they used to laugh back and say that I'd understand sometime later.... And, I am understanding it now.... Maths Homework...... Tamil[Sic] Notes and Tests.... Chemistry Tests..... English Readthroughs..... and, most Horrible of them all, the Biology Records.. I have had around some Four hours of sleep on an average for the past month, after School Began. And, Still, My Biology Record is 90% incomplete, the Tamil Notes still seem immovable, and the Maths Homework Seems Unending.. I avoid all diagrams in my Biology Exams and manage to get good marks still... But, this Record thing is taking my head out. You can't escape it, and you have to draw it, and if there's a small thing wrong in your drawing, your Record Paper gets torn, even though you explain that it was your best and you couldn't do anything better and it took you a lifetime to get it done....:( Hope I get it done.... But, I suppose, I have asked Ilyas, one of my friends with a LaserPrinter Hand;) to come over to my house on Sunday and draw my records for me...Hope he helps... And, all My Energy seems to have been drained out of me.. It justs seems like to me, I am like a Zombie in Warlords : Tired, Slow, gets little work Done and Most of all, Useless:( Thanks, and Be Right Back....

A Byte Lighter..

Hi Again, Now, Have you ever toiled for for 2 Weeks moving your mouse around in small movements and double clicking often and doing a thing which is the thing you hate the most in the world ? Well, those of you who have tried to do things in Tamil using Word's Insert -> Symbol Feature would know the pain, as I have experienced it.. Anyhow, the useless Tamil work is finished, though not without Troubles. My Right hand is shaking even more, and it feels much more relieved to do some straight fast Typing.... Enough of My Personal woes... I'd like to know your feedback on my proposed features for the School WebSite :

1. The Usual Information about the School(Rules, Achievements, Activities, blah blah)
2. Exam Results
3. School Blog
4. MarianStar Online
5. The Past-Present Pupils Wiki
6. Contact Online

Now, the Exam results is the thing that I plan to use AJAX for, since I can't think of anywhere else to use it. And, the School Blog would be our Official School Blog. And, Marian Star is our School Newspaper-like thing, Which I plan to bring online.... The Past-Present Pupils Wiki, or The P3W :) is my idea for a feature for the Past-Pupils. I suppose, a wiki might be good for them to give Contact Information, their Achievements, their life Stories, etc. Now, do tell me what you think of this, ok ? I have not been getting any comments of late, which is really really really really really really discouraging, you know:( Update: The Contact Online is something of an Afterthought, which will allow you to give feedback to specific persons, like the Principal or some Teacher. (I am not sure wether this will be allowed, but I can use AJAX here, so, just putting this up here:P) Thanks, and Be Right Back....

Problems...

Hi Again, Just got free... It's pretty hard, when you have to finish a 10 page Word Document in Tamil, or have 17 Sums of Homework in Math of Finding the Square root of Polynomials with Degree 7, or trying to write at a better handwriting with CTS and, you have just bought a Game which you have dreamed about from when you got a Computer as a 4th STD Kid... Anyway, I just thought over the School Site Design, and suddenly the problems involved came to my mind. For Example, the Children's Day Competietions, the heavy Maths Homework, the Moronic Tamil Tests and the Constant History Tests add heavily to the Burden of Creating an Entire Website from Scratch. Also, the fact that I am the only person in our Team to know ASP.NET dosn't help things much. And, I have only Visual Web Developer 2.0 Express, which uses ASP.NET 2.0, which, to the Best of My Knowledge, isn't provided by Hosting Companies.... So, what the hell can I do ? The last three days and Nights have been hectic, with my days full, and myself being awake till 1 in the Morn to make my Maths Homework complete.... I thought of making it up today, but, 17 More Sums of the Same Type and which Take two and a Half page of Foolscape Paper dosn't make it anything easier... And the thought that My Tamil Teacher will be paying me a Visit tomorrow[sigh, cry:((] haven't helped things anyway.. And, having Warlords Battlecry 3, which was the First Game Demo I played at 4th STD, as Full Version is sooo Tempting, that I can do nothing to stop myself from starting it Now and getting my Hero to the 11th Level.... Thanks, and Be Right Back....

School Website!

Hi Again, It was almost by accident that I stumbled into the Computer Lab today, only to be called in to discuss the Ongoing rebuilding of our School Web-Site! Currently, they have a god-forsaken childish website.. Till I came, the Competing tools to build the Website were Microsoft Frontpage and Swish! But, ofcourse, I made him understand how stupid that was, and he is in favour of building it in ASP.NET... It now only needs the Principal's Approval..... So, If I could build it, I am certainly going to use AJAX atleast somewhere. Yeah, sure I would use it somewhere, especially after seeing some of the Results it has produced and the effect it has had on Yahoo! Thanks, and Be Right Back....

Why Tamil is not my Favorite Language...

Hi Again, Well, have you experienced Carpel-Tunnel Syndrome ? I have.. And, I am continuing to have that, or atleast that's what I think, since My hands have lately begun to shake a lot while drawing, adding to my already difficult problem of drawing.... But, what can be worser than having to use Insert Symbol on Word to Type Out a 10 Page Document full of Tamil ? And, after that, Try to beat your head against the Wall as you try to format it to resemble a Answer Paper..... Dosn't improve one's temperment, I should say... I have to do that, in which I have absolutely No Interest, and apparently, None of my Classmates had shown any Interest. But, that Tamil Teacher's exact Translated Words as he gave me the paper were "Because Many of You have shown lots of Interest in the Preperation of a Model Answer Paper[sighs and yawns], I am asking Yuvaraj[Some More Sighs and Sneers], on your behalf to help us in preparing the Model answer paper By Typing it out[A Cold Damp Feeling grew inside me]." And, with that, he handed me a Ten Page Tamil Paper crammed to the Fullest, and another set of papers which showed the Required Formatting.... And, I was to do this in my Pooja Holidays, while I had much more Important Duties, such as Finishing Maths Homework, or Writing my[sighs and another Cold Damp Feeling] Biology Record or Studying up for the Next Chemistry Weekly Test or completing Riddle or learning something new.... And, Today, I have completed 6 Pages of that, and intend to give the remaining to the DTP or my Poor Dad's Office Staff to complete, by using the Same Insert Symbol System...

Thanks, and Be Right Back....

Congrats..!

Hi Again, I know a person, who has been friendly to me, and been a friend to me ever since I was a Kid. And, he has got something quite big, and Great. I just can't Congratulate him enough on this! I am waiting for him to release the Information before I release it myself..... So, If you want to congratulate him, Congratulate him here! Really, that was worth Congratulating.... And, For Me, I got the Parsing Part of Riddle working for the most part..... And, suppose, I can even convert Eliza's Data Files for use with Riddle.... And, as for the Prize, I suppose I have come to the RAM/MP3-USB Player Choice, so it's either one or two, whichever my Dad Decides upon... And, I have a request to make of you.... I have a person, who is very special to me. She's in hospital, and ill. I request you all to pray for her....... I suppose, that's the most worthy use of your Time..... Thanks, and Be Right Back....

Stilllll Confusing........

Hi Again, It's still Very Confusing for me....So, I have to choose between the following :

1. 80 GB Harddisk
2. 256 MB RAM
3. 1 GB USB Pen - MP3 Player
4. A Top of the Line Graphics Card
5. A Digital Still Camera [Not so Probable, tooo costly..:(]

So, If you have any suggestions to help a poor soul in me, help me up... And, next round is starting.. Children's Day Competietions are around the Corner, am involved in helping [sigh] the Tamil Teacher, having a C Programming Competietion and lots of Stuff. Inshort, am excited. Now, If only I could Dedcide on that...... Thanks, and Be Right Back....

Yeah! I Did It!

Hi Again, Yeah I Did It! I couldn't believe I did it! I never thought I'd do it! I still don't believe I did it! But, I did it! Yeah I Did it! Yeah, I got Second Rank. With a Total of 898 of 1000 and behind the 1st Rank by only 11 Marks, It's really really really coool!!!! Yeah, And Dad promised me one more 80 GB HDD or 256 MB More of RAM, but I have a hard Time Choosing, so, if You guys could help me decide, just leave a comment... Update: Now, a 1 GB USB-Pen is added to the list, and I have a tough Time Choosing. Please Help Guys! And, Thanks to all those Souls who prayed for me and who were responsible for this.... Thanks, and Be Right Back....

Back...

Hi Again, I am back from the Tour! Well, Really, I was back yesterday morning, but, my Eyes were really ready enough only now. I slept for around 21 hours, with yesterday and today combined, since I slept only around 3 hours during the Tour.... Well, It was a Nice tour, barring the Fact that My Borrowed Cell-Phone Battery Burst due to overcharging and my Borrowed Camera stuck when I had a Peacock with full Plume display right infront of Me, and I soaked wet for half an hour in pouring Rain in Bangalore... I gave the Films to be developed yesterday morning, before lapsing into a sleep at around 1 in the afternoon, only to wake at around 10 in the morning today....... Well, Am feeling a bit sleepy even now, so, suppose I'd get back with more some time later...... Thanks, and Be Right Back....
