Reworking my Blog...

Hi Again, Again, finding nothing much to do, I am reworking my Blog. Changed the Colors a bit, and the line-spacing a Bit More to make reading easier. Also, this thing is improving my CSS Skills a lot...:P Ok, today evening is the Tour, and on it, If I manage to get my hands on a Computer and an Internet Connection, I'd surely Blog about it.... Thanks, and Be Right Back....

Just a Bit of a Poll...

Hi Again, Again, I am showing my indecision. I have deleted one of my Blogs which I created yesterday! So, don't trouble yourself with that Blog... And, BTW, guys, What are your Opinions about the Ganguly-Chappel Row ? I support Ganguly, Guys. So, just leave a Comment about what you think... Thanks, and Be Right Back....

Going Going Going....

Hi Again, Today was supposed to be my Tour to Bangalore, Mysore and Coorg. Fortunately/Unfortunately, the Travel Agents couldn't get Tickets for Sunday Night, so they got Tickets for Monday Night..... So, Tomorrow Night, I am off By Train to Mysore. I am in Mysore for a day, Coorg for 2 Days, and Bangalore for half a Day. Then I come back... It seems I'd get a Reliance Cell Phone Borrowed, and a Camera Borrowed, and an MP3 Player Borrowed.... It seems even My Travel Bag is borrowed...:( And, I'd be back at the 1st of October, and will try to borrow a scanner to get the pictures of my borrowed Camera to the Web;) And, Next Month is gonna be Exciting, with all those Exam Results, and most importantly, the Children's Day Competietions at the end of the month.... Wish me Good Luck before you leave:P Thanks, and Be Right Back....

Back to Abnormal..

Hi Again, Here I am, back again, after another Round of NEST. Ofcourse, you'd know full form of NEST if you were to Read Harry Potter Front-to-Back Several times... And, I did my exams alright. My Tamil was a lot better, and I made good swigs at Maths I and II, though missing Perfection. I got good stuff at Physics and Chemistry, though my Physics Correcter later remarked that my Waveform diagrams were unlike any he had seen before.... And, Biology went a bit good too. Escaped most Diagrams, but, was caught by two, pretty simple ones. First, was two bell Jars, which I screwed up in such a way that, they were unlike any I had seen before. And, the other one was the Nervous System of Cockroach, which looked a lot like an overturned Wand or Sword put on a Shield.... And, English was a lot good. Rumour is that I got 93 in my English I, which is supposed to be a Good Record, especially from the one who Corrects it, who has openly said

"I will not Give Full Ten Marks for a Shakespeare Essay, even If they were Written By Shakespeare come alive....."
And, so, 93 was a big surprise, but it is still a Rumour.... And, So, It was quite a good one, but Dad's told me that, If I don't get into the First Rank this Time, then, The Plug would be pulled on the Internet Connection, and probably my Computer Would be sold outt for a Cheap Rate:( And, Window's giving me a bit of Trouble, and is not Connecting to the Internet. Then, ofcourse, a Good Question would be how I am writing this. That's possible, since I am on Linux Right Now! Yeah, I am writing this Post in Debian Knoppix LiveCD Linux, on the Konqueror Browser. Quite Nice, I must say. If only it supported .NET, Photoshop, VS.NET, MS Office......... I know it is a bit tiresome to read blogs with Long Posts, but bear with me for one last Post. I have created one more Blog, after the One Last Time. Just visit it, if you seem to have time and have nothing to do..... Thanks, and Be Right Back....

Yet another Blog....

Hi Again, Today, I had a LOT of free Time, with the Content Thought of having written a Tamil Exam well after 4 Long Years.... And, So, I created another Blog for me, For Tid-Bits of Text I feel like posting. That Blog, is here. And, Don't complain to me if the text there dosn't make sense....:P Thanks, and Be Right Back....

Exams!

Hi Again, Today was Biology Exam. I somehow evaded most of the Diagrams, though my Nervous System of Cockroach looked like a Shield with a Sword on it and my Bell Jar looked like an overturned Bucket;) And, it was backbreaking work. Once Tamil is finished on 17th, I would have absolutely no problems... And, amidst thinking in the Exams, random yet cool Ideas pop up to me. I got several today while trying to determine whether Erepsin is produced in the Stomach or Large Intestine. I would blog about them as soon as I can..... And, Congrats go to Sudar, my cousin, for completing his First PodCast. Keep Coing, Brother! Thanks, and Be Right Back....

Going to sleep...

Hi Again, Quartyearly Exams are very very close at hand : Next Tuesday, infact. And, So, I am gonna do what I usually do with exams : Retreat into a shell, study Day and Night, revise everything, and forget everything at the Exam;) No, the Last part was a bit madeup;) And, Ofcourse, I was never good At Drawing(Both Programatically and By Hand;), I hope atleast to make my Cockroaches look like Cockroaches, unlike like Baloons like last time;). And, this time, I Think I maybe a bit Better prepared for Tamil than last time, but still..... It's really hard, you know. You've all experienced It, and, have gone through It, but, It's really hard for me. I Study hard and burn a lot of Midnight Oil and get around 89-90%, only to be grilled by Dad for having another guy who got more marks than me:( [Sigh....] But, good news is, that after the Exams are over, We're going for a 5 Day Tour of Mysore, Coorg and Bangalore! :) It's the first time I am going with my Friends, and, also, the First Time I am going out of Chennai! Hope to make a great day of it... But Before that, I have quartyearly.... Thanks, and Be Right Back....

Riddle going...

Hi Again, I have started Riddle, though I was planning to get started on eBookShelf. That's because, I've gotta find some library to read PDFs, while I don't need any for Riddle's Diary... So, here I start. As Usual, I am starting on the Back-End First. The XML based Data Files prove to be good enough. And, I've got the Designs ok and the Object Model Finished.... And, for the First time, I am thinking of Drawing some Diagrams for them, the Object Models. If I do, I'd surely get them to you...... And, the Licence for Riddle's Diary : I am in a confusion about wether to go OpenSource or Remail Closed-Source but Open Architectured. I'd like someone to confuse me and to convince me to go one way or another. If one of you can please help me in this regard, leave me a comment or Mail me. And, a Lot of Thanks goes to Sriram K, who Inspired me to do Riddle. I would've been nothing if my Cousin Sudar hasn't Introduced me to Computers when i was in 4th STD. And, I couldn't Thank my Dad enough for buying me a Computer, without which all these wouldn't have been possible.... Thanks, and Be Right Back....

Learning to Start....

Hi Again, So, I am going to start with Riddle's Diary. It's quite a big Task, but, Since I know How to do it and Why I am doing it, it will be pretty easy... But, I think I'd have to get quite used to Regular Expressions if i want to do Riddle's Diary. That, would be the Most Important Part, Matching User Input to Keywords.... So, I decided to do another Mini-Project while working on Riddle's Flash UI. That, will be eBookShelf, for organizing, Indexing and Searching through your Large eBook Collection (I have a large one, and atleast, it will be useful for me). So, that would put me in touch with Regular Expressions, while I construct the UI of Riddle's Diary in Flash and Build it's Data Files with XML. And, I am sorry, to say, I'd have to wait for the Quartyearly Exams to finish before doing this, since Dad's already almost mad about my Computer Obsessedness..... But, Hope to complete it As Soon as Possible... Update: Thanks Sriram, for the Encouragement! Thanks, and Be Right Back....

Wohooo Bohhooo Green Belt!

Hi Again, Now, Today was Karate Belting Day. I am proud to announce that I have graduated from Nana Kyu to Rok Kyu. And, that, in layman's terms, it means I left Blue Belt to become a Green Belt. It was quite something, you know, since, I practiced only for 2 Months of the prescribed 4 Months, and I stilll Managed to make it! Boho! And, I quite like the Technical Name for the Green Belt. It sounds a lot like Rock You, Rok Kyu. And, Nana too sounds cool. And, We'd be having that Ninjak or Jinjack, or Ninja (I am still not sure), which is that Black colored Chained thing that Bruce Lee Hits People with...Whoa! Well, I couldn't get any Pics of the Grading, but, hope to get some of My Belt..... Thanks, and Be Right Back....

Next Project...

Hi Again, So, I've decided to go hard at my Next Project, amidst heavy preperations for Quartyearly Exams.Hope to get into the Top 3 on the Quartyearly Exams... But, then, My Next Projects! I suppose, it's gonna be Riddle's Diary. If you STILL don't know What Riddle's Diary is, I suppose you should find it in WikiPedia. Or, Better Still, you could just buy Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Find it out Yourself... Ok, so, Riddle's Diary is a Magically Enchanted Object, that can think of it's own and communicate with others who write to it. But, ofcourse, in the End, it tries to destroy Harry, but thats a different Story. Guess you'd have to read that Entire book to get it right. So, I reccomend it... So, this Program, is an AI program, much like the famed Psychologist, Eliza. It depends much more on Stored Replies based on Keywords. So, maybe, if you want a Taste of How it will be like, just try Eliza. OK ? And, I am gonna use Flash for the Front-End, and .NET to do the crunching. So, I am also looking forward towards learning a whole lot of stuff, such as Regexps, Flash Actionscript, and ofcourse Improving my C# and VB.NET Skills.... And, If you have anything to ask me, please do so. Thanks, and Be Right Back....

Next Project ?

Hi Again, Maybe, this post should belong to my other Projects Blog, but, i was a Bit Lazy to post it there.. Besides, many of you who know this Blog may not know that one.... So, My Next Project. As you know, I am a Student Champ, and, I belong the the StudentChamp Yahoo Group. One of the Recent Posts there, by Sriram Krishnan, was about how, the OSS guys are programming Greats, and we MS Technologists are not that hard into it. Simply put, he stated that OSS Guys were much more Hardcore Programmers than Us. After Reading it for, maybe 3 Times, I realized it was True. I couldn't get a bit of Code that went into any GPL Thing. Yet, those OSS People Created Them. The Bottom Line was, OSS Guys were KickAss Programmers, while we are not. And, If we, the MS Community, is to get to Compete with the OSS Guys, we have to become KickAss Programmers. So, that Post, Changed my Next Project. It Was Going to be a School Management System, but then, after reading that Post, I wanted to do something Innovative. Something Nobody Had Done Before. Something, that was utterly Cool. So, I stopped that School Management System.... Now, I have some Top Listed, Innovative Ideas, Which I dreamed up while waiting for the Sports Day. Top Two are :

  • Riddle's Diary (Name Likely to Change, But any Harry Potter Fan Should be able to get it)
  • List-Server
Now, It's already Late, and Dad's Shouting a hell out of Me for not Studying, and I hope I can get up early Enough Tomorrow to post More Details, Ofcourse in my Projects Blog;) P.S. I looked up the Meaning of KickAss, and it meant Efficient on Dictionary.com. So, No offence intended, and if it offends anyone, pleae leave me a Comment... Thanks, and Be Right Back....

Sports Day Ends....

Hi Again, Yesterday was Sports day, and our House won after 7 Years! What a Record! And, the interesting thing was, We won none of the Level-wise Championships (Juniors, Sub-Juniors, Seniors, etc...), but we won the Overall cup! Beats me how we did it... But, in the end, we won by over a Fifty points. We had some Celebrations on the Track, but ofcourse, I could've joined in if only I wasn't so Dumb I couldn't run 75 m without dropping out cold.............:( And, the best thing is, I get today off! Hope to put it to some good use....... Thanks, and Be Right Back....
