The link between blog and pant

uleadin has this amazing talent of making the most amazing connections. This is one of them:

tdsmapper: dey.. XXX reads ur blog da..
uleadin: tell her to comment or stop reading!
uleadin: thu!
uleadin: it’s like someone peeping into your pants!
uleadin: yuck!
uleadin: tell her to comment!
uleadin: I told (my closest friend) itself to stop reading my blog if she won’t comment!
tdsmapper: ok.. so if someone peeps into yr pants and comments, its fine?
uleadin: no, comment is like a door knock!
tdsmapper: u want a knock on ur pants?
uleadin: I want a ‘door knock’!
tdsmapper: what about the pants?
tdsmapper: are they on the door?
uleadin: if you knock on my door and then come in I will know you’re coming in and behave properly
tdsmapper: explain the pants and the door and the relation
uleadin: I am sitting inside the room trying to mend something within my pants
uleadin: and someone peeps and goes from the outside?
uleadin: rather, if someone knocks oce, I’ll behave with better ettiquette
tdsmapper: so.. u want a person to comemnt and it will be fine
tdsmapper: ok ok..
uleadin: I will write crap because I know who are all my readers da
tdsmapper: explain the pants..
uleadin: as of now all my readers are my close friends only
uleadin: so nothing is secretive da
tdsmapper: they peek into ur pants?
uleadin: [get lost!]
uleadin: [ you and your pant analogy]
tdsmapper: u were the one who mentioned pant
uleadin: [I just told you something for the figure of speech!]
uleadin: [adha vechi ipdi mokkai poduvenu therinjirundha naa sollirkave maattein!]

Uleadin unblock tdsmapper campaign!

Uleadin, founder of SIT Chennai has decided to block me, tdsmapper.

This is a campaign aimed at forcing uleadin to unblock me! He was chatting with Sathyanarain, Ganesh APP and others, but appeared offline to me. After further discreet investigations, it came to my light that uleadin blocked me!

For the past 6 months, uleadin has been “busy” in life, and has given the following reasons for being unable to do anything, including chat:

1. Going to landmark

This is apart from taking his dad there. Apparently he is taking his brother pramodh there everyday. Wonder if its to meet a girl. Pramodh is just for cover, i guess

2. Madras eye

He has has this issue ever since VS‘ brother married. Of course… this has nothing to do with the marriage

3. Uleadin the assassin

Uleadin perhaps works as an undercover agent. After Sathyanarain suggested that u-lead-in sounds pretty much like ass-ass-in, and further more, uleadin read inside out becomes lead-in-u, its all-the-more possible!

4. MBA

Uleadin, like most engineers decided to do move away from engineering and do an MBA for the money. Of course, its no doubt that he wants to impress his girlfriend with the fancy english they teach you at B Schools (Yep! Its English they teach you at B Schools, no more!). I’m sure he would have done better with a BA English and MBA. Hell! Girls don’t seem to find Shakespeare’s verses romantic!

5. Bill Gates

Ok.. Uleadin’s windows crashed. He got me to courier a copy of Windows to him. He picked it up next day (Round June 9th), and hasn’t still installed Windows. Busy man!

Nightmares

Well.. I am certified Anna Univ Computer Science Engineer. That’s for sure!

I am so happy that I didn’t need to write exams such as these anymore!

However, thats only during the day.

During the bloody night, I am just unable to sleep. I constantly get nightmares reminding me of those horrific exams. These days, I get up around 12 and wonder why I am sleeping when I am supposed to be studying! Exams are 3 days away man! My future is at stake! One of these nights, I woke up and started searching for books frantically only to realise that I have given them away to a junior.

For the last 2 weeks or so, I have been on bed 14 hours a day, out of which I have woken up 3-4 times at crazy times! Haven’t even slept well for one day! Crap!

Solutions, anyone?

p.s Didn’t sleep y’day night. Am off to sleep! Yawn!

Interesting Email

Well.. I got this from one of my seniors. I don’t know what to make of it!

Well.. thats a Guy!

Mobile computing paper

For those who don’t get the joke behind this, please note that Anna Univ banned cell phones, and now they want me to find TWO cell phones and find which WAP version they support!!??

BTW, this is one of my exam questions!

Software Quality Management preparation

Ok! The title sounds weird, I know!

Software Quality Management is those typical crap kind of paper where you write pages about how team leaders should evaluate performance, and how some Japanese leader defined quality in 1950. Pretty easy subject, except for Anna Univ. evaluation.

Last sem, there was a similar course/paper titled “Total Quality Management”. The pass rate was 50%!! Amongst those who had failed were people who would write B-plans and win. Among those who cleared were people who read the morning of the exam, and entered with no hope of passing.

Therefore, I’m taking safety precautions this time, given that the entire 2nd unit doesn’t exist in the prescribed text books

2 prescribed, the ever faithful Charulatha and Magnus

Correction to best quotes&unquotes…

PSP was red-hot after I posted his convo. Apparently, the chatting format was incorrect, as specified by him in this comment in my previous post.

It didn’t strike me at first what that meant, but now its crystal clear. The modified conversation is posted below:

PSP does it yet again!

X: Tomo is the first day of college! Wow! I’m entering my 2nd year
PSP: Yeah.. Noticed you changed your pic. Why Asin?
X: Because she’s my idol
PSP: You look like asin?
X: Yeah
PSP: Cool! Shall we play the 007 game? Lets see if I find you first or you find me first
X: What!??
PSP: Lets see who finds who first, in person

Disclaimer: PSP has a color generation algorithm, which he developed during his days @ Sun microsystems. I have tried not to follow that algorithm pattern, fearing legal action by PSP.

Most memorable quotes&unquotes during my MNM sojourn

These are the best convos/quotes I’ve heard from people during my MNM stay. I’m sad that I’m going to be missing such convos every day.

1. Astala-Vista

X: Hey Arun.. see Windows Vista in college! Wow
Me: Vista on a 128 MB machine!?? Impossible
X: Yeah! See it
Me: Yeah.. this is Vista right!
X: See how clear Vista is! I am able to read clearer with Vista
Me: What!!?? Thats because its a good monitor. How the hell does Vista improve clarity?
X: It does.. See my monitor and yours

For those who thought PSP can’t code

HCL = THIEVES!

Ok.. my computer dont start 5 days back. I call the HCL guy (my comp’s branded, and under warranty) and assure him thats its the SMPS thats crappy.

Alright, this guy arrives 3 days late. I’m not at home. People show him the way to my computer. He does something. Voila! It works. People thank him and see him off.

I come home, notice the new SMPS. I also notice that my comp. is lot slower. Well.. 2.4GHz HT pentium 4.. can’t be slow for my needs. My hard disk is pretty over-used. It might die in a few months maybe. I never shut down/restart my comp after that, and have been so busy that I didn’t even switch on my cell phone for days.

I restart it tonight (dont ask me what I was doing at 1AM). I see the words “Celeron D” during POST. Wait!!! What the hell is that? I go into windows, download the Intel Processor Identification Tool, and confirm my worst fears. That HCL service guy has stolen my pentium 4 prescott 2.4 GHz HT Processor and replaced it with a Celeron 2.4

That guy didn’t give a service report. I’m entering his shop and slapping the manager! I can’t take any legal action, I suppose. If I had any official record, I would sue him for a few lakhs!

People please don’t buy from HCL after this - especially the Microbase Systems in Adyar. They are terrible frauds! They have already made several such mistakes with my system. We even called the HCL area manager and blasted him. Next day, we had the entire Microbase systems people at our house, cringing to our needs. (They had sold me a 2nd hand RAM chip when I bought my computer. I found that out)
