Been a while since I posted anything worthwhile. Hmm...
Too bad- been busy with exams so much!
Heard the wierdest questions during the exams this semester. Man! You know its a bad thing when you're reading that question for the first time on the exam question paper! O boy!
Like Q.: What is a Smart Pointer?
A.: A Smart Pointer is one which outsmarts you in the exams!
Sheesh!

sneak peek at last week
Did a lot of things last week.
Went to VESIT's Praxis festival. Actually a lot of us from college did. Just to participate in the CS events. Turns out the bots there kicked our a$$. They were mod bots downloaded from the net. (Although when I asked Amar, he said they were 'normal bots at expert level' -- pshaa! no ways! I've played normal bots at expert level and I've pwnd them; they don't get jumping head shots at moving targets! They were definitely modded bots!)
We lost 7-12. Very sad. Especially since we all play CS in the lab at every practical session.
It seems that's going to stop soon. :(
So since CS wasn't our game, I went rappelling down the main VESIT building's terrace! Damn, it was fun!
Just getting both feet off the ledge was the kicker, because I was held on by just a rope and the instructor just kept saying, "Put both your feet down!"
I can't put both my feet down you twit! I'm 6 floors above the ground!!
It seemed scary at first, ( I even pinched my left hand - it got caught between the rope and the building's ledge), but then i learnt to let go.
I wanna do it again!
The Freshers party we arranged at Intercontinental The Grand was also good fun!
The on-now-off-now (or party-now-picnic-now) freshers party was at Club Sutra in Intercontinental. It was hella fun! Danced like a maniac and what not! Luckily all went as planned. Party wrapped up by 1:30am and then we ate at The Airport Restaurant. Then instead of ricking it up home so late Jammu and I decided to go to Aadha's place. There we watched The Hypercube. Well, more like, explained most of those concepts to Commode. (Thank you DC Comics and The Crisis of Infinite Earths!)
Then went home in the morning. Reached by 7.
Got a new All-in-one Printer / Scanner / Copier - EPSON CX5500
Now I can SCAN! Hooray! Looks amazing! Has lots of features! :)
Unfortunately doesn't fit in the existing printer spot. Its fatter by 1 cm than the space :(
So I kept it sideways!
P.S.: Will update this post with pics & scans later.

Once, on a Sunday, March 18, 2007, I thought...
death by fuss!
So SIES college, Nerul had what could possibly be the last inter-collegiate fest of this season.
Naturally, I had gone. (That naturally coming because I had gone to Thakur's fest, turned out to be the only guy from MET participating!)
But this time almost 11 of us had gone! (That number coming down from a 20 who had actually given their names up 2 go)
And it was fun! Not that the events were spectacularly different - same old events, same old crowd. Good Fun!
At gaming, we have CS, and for that we had practiced a bit, in lab sessions, almost every practical session, (without the teachers knowing, because they used to leave the labs to us anyway!). Especially Nix, Shreader, Invader & I (Lackey) had done this a bit more often.
Of course, we were still noobs compared to pros like 'fr.Dante' from Thakur college or 'xSports//:Fuss' from VESIT college.
And they were coming too...
But our team sailed through the elims.
And just for kick, three of our classmates wanted to play too so the registered - team of 3, handicapped by 1. Now they were playing it fresh, so fresh that I was actually teaching one guy 'laden' how to play and what to click! And surprisingly they got through the elims too! :o
Whoa! Cool! :)
Death by fuss!
Now at the second round, fuss's reputation preceded his head shots, and the team he was supposed to be against- BVIT, ran away when they found out that they were against VESIT. So they pit us against them! Dammit! We were creamed!
And then our other team - 'osama' 'bin' 'laden', (that how we'd named those three, Tahir, Atish & Milind) went up against some IMCOMS team and they kicked their ass!!
Dammit! I just taught laden how to click!
They went 3-3, and then 4-0 after the switch!
Man! Then I guess we would have raped those guys!
We were laughing our guts out there! :D
And that wasn't all!
Badminton!
Atish participated just for fun. And his opponent for elims, was some pro guy. He even changed to his shorts and straps and all. And this guy made so many faults.
He just kept trying to smash it over and over, but kept netting it! All the points Atish got were unforced errors! :D
Ultimately he lost and got eliminated and Atish went to round two. Now for the next round the next day, however, Atish lost miserably. No effort at all, and it was fine with him - he had just participated for the heck of it. So when he's back, Tahir is like, "There's that guy you eliminated. Man he must be cursing himself real bad"
Atish: "Why?"
Tahir: "Probably disgusted with himself, who did I lose against!"
:D

Ultimately went with wirefall.
