Hey... nothing much to write today as I spent the most of the day while sleeping. Watched the Dreamers a bit. Can't say good or bad. Then there were some guests for dinner. And then there was submission as usual....
Nice work by Michael Clarke, hopefully Australia's captain to be, scoring a hundred. Bad rain.... Saved a point for India and lost one for my team...
Gotta sleep now. Have a circuit design competition tomorrow morning at 8:30. Kudos....

I completely forgot......
To write about how this day went.... As usual, I went to the college and wasted my time in doing stupid practicals on those breadboards. I hate them, the wires keep coming out and that is a real pain in the a** when working on a big circuit, and the part that even sucks more is that we don't have any big circuits to work on... Anyways, then had a couple of off lectures...
After that, we had a meeting about the discussions related to a T-Shirt that we are going to launch. Of our batch of electronics. So, we were chatting and a group 'X' was against my friend (mentioned in the legendary chat) and my choice of design. We had been working on it from our group, say 'Y' for long time. And we were not going to change it just cause 'X' said so.
We showed them a big thumb and said, 'Suggestions come with a responsibility', so if you want to suggest, make sure that the thing actually pays off. And upon hearing this, the 'X' group accepted all that we had suggested, the color, the design, the format... everything.
You might have guessed, but in case not, then this 'X' group was all the girls in our batch and 'Y' was we boys.
Morale of the story :- We are a couple of bigheads who thought that we were doing a good work for the class. But in the end it turned out that brutal refusal and a little frustrated anger was all that we needed.....
A classic chatroom conversation......
I was chatting with this friend of mine. He has asked me not to reveal his name, so I will say me for myself and replace his name by my own, Aditya. So I was having this conversation with Aditya.
As usual, he posted a scrap in my scrapbook in Orkut, asking me to join Ricky Ponting hate club. I love Ricky Ponting. So, I went on a rampage against him..... It was funny, take a look....
me: scrap
12:13 AM HAD
Aditya: :)
me: no wonder most of the members are from India
12:14 AM I don't see any outsiders.
typical.....
:-|
12:15 AM Aditya: how ca n ther be outsiders because they always support thir players,they r loyal and as our population is big ,people like u support outsiders
12:16 AM me: I am not talking only about Aussies
why not any english people?
siuth africans maybe?
12:17 AM ever wondered why there are no new zealanders ?
Aditya: maybe they r neutral
me: yeah
actually SA is supposed to be like Pakistan for Australia
enemies forever
12:18 AM but they don't say that they hate Aussies
Aditya: and ponting lways such crap thngs only about india not about other countries
me: they either support their team.... or they stay Neutral
and your knowledge about Australian cricket team is not good enough
Ponting says these things before every series
and even others
Aditya: i dont care about it
12:19 AM me: remember the substitute filder issue?
in ashes?
remember him fighting against SA?
no
you will not
cause you only know one thing. You like India and you hate Aussies
and that is a typical Indian supporter
12:20 AM and you will never care
cause you know
that you don;t have facts to prove what you say
Aditya: xcuse iam not aussies only ponting
me: facts gathered from search
OK
Ponting
replace Aussies by Ponting
and read all sentences
they are still true
12:21 AM you keep supporting India
Aditya: read what symond said
me: don't say a word against him unless you have proof
again, you said Ponting
not roy
roy is Symonds
Aditya: read wht ponting said
me: I know
he did
so what
it's a mind game
12:22 AM and as I said, Indians are too polite for their own good
Aditya: he shud show his game on grnd
me: and even I am like that
Aditya: it is not
me: he has been shwoing his game
he is No1 batsman
in tests since 2005 DEC
currently at number one in ODI ranking
12:23 AM he still reains the best captain in the world
Aditya: his language might be different if aussies shuld have won wold cup
me: he has earned the right to speak
and he will do that
no
see after 2003 W/C
or, as Aussies say, they prefer ashes over W/C
Aditya: every player has his gud and bad days
me: and, he spoke like this after this years ashes win
12:24 AM he is having good days
Aditya: and ponting is having gud days
me: and he is speaking now
maybe when he wil have bad days
he will not speak
right now
he speaks cause he has earned that
aapan bolato te kon print karat nahi
but he has reached that level
12:25 AM proved himself
Aditya: he has been speeking like this
me: look what they did after Champions Troffy
that is how they arer
aggresive
and I love that
Aditya: is sachin not proved himself
me: and, as I said, I regret that I am not like them
so... no one is stopping Sanchin from speaking
12:26 AM Aditya: hw can all teams be aggresive
me: it's his choice if he wants to or not
who said all teams should be aggresive?
Aditya: no i thnk one shud kno enough wht one shud speak or not
12:27 AM then i like indian attitude
me: and he has not spoken anything bad
Aditya: and u like aussies one
me: I don't see anyone but the indians complaining
yeah that is the point
I like them
Aditya: even they cant praise other team for others victory
me: you like India
so, what I am saying is that
12:28 AM you support your team
I will support mine
don't post I hate them things to me
Aditya: none wl change his side so change the topic
It was over after that and we spoke about usual Submission, the class T-Shirt and other stuff.... Gotta go now, still chatting with him....

Now I am officially a nocturnal animal.....
Bahh.... it has been 3 days and I have not had sleep for more than 5 hours. I have been awake till minimum 3am and then I have college at 9am so I MUST wakeup at 8am.
This submissions stuff is really bad. It is getting on my nerves. I have to write about 200 pages with diagrams and graphs before the start of next week. And I am very slow at writing. It would have been much better if printouts were allowed. My typing speed is greater than my writing speed.
It is not going to be easy. I also have participated in two contests. One is a mobile movie making contest and then a circuit design contest, the subjects of both will be given on the spot. And it is going to take entire weekend. And I am again going to have to stay up long.
Off I go now, must sleep in order to be awake during the lectures....

OpenSuSE 10.3 :- Gnome 2.20 Sneak peaks...
The new release of OpenSuSE... The 10.3 version comes with (will come with) Gnome 2.20. And SuSE developers have added a verity of things to the new release.
1). The World Clock (on the left) that allows you to keep track of the worldwide time.
2). Tomboy comes with a Note Synchronization feature that allows you to synchronize all your notes on the PCs that run Tomboy.
YaST2
YaST2 is now integrated with Gnome and comes with a cool new look and feel.
Desktop Improvements
In the past, extensive usability studies in the SUSE usability lab lead the GNOME team at SUSE to re-design the GNOME menu and panel. The result was SLAB, a new menu for GNOME. After further testing in openSUSE 10.2 and SUSE Linux Enterprise 10, a few additional changes were made to the menu that improve usability, ease-of-use, and of course top it up with a polished and professional look that gives you a better desktop:
