Finished Botany Practicals...

Hi Again, Yesterday saw the finishing of my Botany Practicals. Went to school in the afternoon and finished it. Suppose I'd get 14.5 out of 15... Well, Tomorrow, I have both Physics and Chemistry Practicals. And, the Problem is, Physics is in the Morning and Chemistry is in the Evening, so, I have to attend School tomorrow Full Day. Well, that depends upon the strength of the Storm we are supposed to be having..... Thanks, and Be Right Back....

Confirmed..

Hi Again, Just got the Lab Report.... It seems I have Typhoid. Well, I suppose I deserve it, since I refused a Typhoid Vaccination Programme at our School Two weeks ago just "for the pain you get due to the Needle". Now, I suppose I have to get the Needle every day:( Thanks, and Be Right Back....

Ill

Hi Again, Well, I have been Ill for about 2 Days now. Yesterday Afternoon saw temperatures of 106 F and today, around the 102 F Category. Today Morning saw Vomitting. Well, So, I had to take a Blood Test and an Injection. Well, that was the first needle to enter my veins after some 3 Years, when I had Fifteen Blood Tests in a space of 7 Days for Dengu Fever.... Well, hope nothing nasty turns out at the Blood test..... Thanks, and Be Right Back....

BaBIE Reborn....

Hi Again, Well, some of you may remember my First Project called BaBIE, which stood for Build a better Internet Explorer. Well, but, since it has long been abandoned and forgotten, primarily starting due to the fact that Visual Studio 2005 Beta 1 was toooooo Crashy when I was using it. But, the main reason was:

1. I am a Real Bombyx Moron with a piece of Apple for a Brain (True)
2. Visual Studio 2005 Beta 1 Crashed Every Time I Started It (True)
3. Crashy Components (True)

But, Now, After I pondered over for some meaningful use of my Time, My Eyes went back to my old blog(Which has been Forgotten), the Idea of Project BaBIE returned to me. Now, the Retail Version of the Visual Basic Express Editions were available, and the WebBrowser Control that ships with .NET 2.0 has proven to be Quite good, I suppose I could bring it back to life..... But, ofcourse, Everything has to be rewritten. The Basic Framework has to be changed. But, some can be reused. For example, the the Quick Search Component can be reused easily. And, the new Framework will be Easier too... But, this time the work will be a Lot Slower. First, I am now nearing my Public Exams, which should slow things up a LOT. And, ofcourse there is the Imagine Cup. And, ofocurse there are a thousand other things that will keep me out... But, this time though(hopefully), I will not be alone. I suppose I would release it on an Opensource License. Maybe not GPL. But, hope that will be Open...... And, ofcourse, there is the Codename to choose for it. Well, Usually I just look around, but this time, I just got over to WikiSpecies and started clicking on the Random Page link a Couple of Times. And, the Third attempt was fruitful, bringing up this page about the Coelacanth. Well, the Coelacanth was supposed to be an Ancient fish thought to be extinct for millions of years, but was rediscovered 30 years ago! Same thing with BaBIE. I thought it was out and out. I thought it was extinct. But, now it has been rediscovered again. Hope it does not become extinct again.... Thanks, and Be Right Back....

Finished...

Hi Again, Well, I finished the TCO SRM two days ago, but am blogging only now.... Am getting very lazy.... Anyway, my First SRM went like how anybody's SRM would go : I got 0 Points!. I got my 250 point problem submitted for 238 points, and my 500 point problem submited for 421 points, but in the end, all my Solutions got Challenged Succesfully... And, BTW, the TCO SRM means a Top Coder Organization's Single Round Match. More Details about the TCO SRM can be found here. Well, I don't think I am giving up hope and hope to participate in as many of them as I can... And, If you have the Time, you too do participate... It's a great thing... Thanks, and Be Right Back....

My First TCO

Hi Again, My First TCO SRM starts in 20 Seconds... Will blog after finishing it.... Thanks, and Be Right Back....

Things happening...

Hi Again, I have not blogged for some time now.... Physics Records, Chemistry Records, Biology Records, Chemistry Observations, Tamil Tests, Children's day competietions have helped keep me very busy... And, anyway, I got two Certificates : One for Quiz and one for Essay Writing... I got first in Quiz and Third in Essay.. And, ofcourse I did get that 1 GB USB Pen from Dad for the second Rank.... And, when things seem to be getting a bit relaxed, the Practicals start.. And, before they end and you feel like relaxing again.... The Half-Yearly Exam sets in... And, before you know the Exam is over and finished, you get your Revision Practicals.. Then the Revision exams.. Then the Revision Practicals again.... Then the Revision Exams again.... Well, it seems I just have to agree with Saurabh and say "Life is just one damn thing after another.." But, ofcourse there are things to lighten them up. For example, Visual Studio .NET 2005. And, maybe, My Next Project, since the School website seems to have been forgotten, will lighten things up... And, I suppose it is more likely than not that my next Project might go up on Source Forge as OpenSource.... Well, then hang on, I might just want your help with that project!

Home Sweet Home!

Hi Again, Atlast, today BSNL has heard my pleas and my Internet Connection is alive and well after going dead at the slightest hint of Rain... In the meantime, many things have happened. One, ofcourse, is the Rain. It didn't rain much in my place, but I happily accepted the Three Days Holidays it has given me. I prayed for more Rain. But, Little did I realize, that the rain has claimed the life of almost A hundred and Fifty People.... And, then, is the fact that I have got my own 1 GB USB Pen Drive[Transcent JetFlash 110], a reward;) for my Second Rank in the Quarterly.... And, lots and lots more interesting stuff to come... But, Dad's already shouting, and I'd get back after some time... Thanks, and Be Right Back....

Rain Rain go away...

Hi Again, It's been almost 15 Days since I posted, and for Obvious Reasons : Rains were pouring here in Chennai, though not to the extent of that in Mumbai. But, for not so obvious reasons, my Internet Connection has not been working for around 10 Days. And, it still is not working. Indeed, I am posting this from my Cousin Sudar's Place. It rained really heavily, thanks to which I got 4 Splendid Holidays, which, however, I wasted in drawing My Biology Record and raising my Warlords Battlecry Hero Level to 47:(. But, I also got to watch the great second match between Indian and Srilanka, which was really great:) But, things aren't going well. Although Sunil helped me out of one problem, another problem still exists. And, that one is that I still haven't written one line of code for our Website, thanks to the fact that I still haven't been able to get Visual Studio .NET 2003 or 2002, since I don't think ASP.NET 2.0 Hosting is available anywhere.... But, I suppose I can jump over these. Children's Day Competietions have been announced and to my sad Surprise, there is no Presentation:((. I really don't know why they did that, but now, that limits my scope to just Quiz and to a lesser extent, Essay Writing:( Hope Eagles wins atleast this time... I have complained to the BSNL officials, and hope they get my Connection up and running. And, as soon as I have that, I suppose I'd get more to you... Thanks, and Be Right Back....
