Two hectic days

17 october 2008

17 was my project's review meeting. You can think, whats a day it can be on 16 th.
But on 16, i attended a technology transfer function: Speakers came from both side and i was also not taking much stress in listening those. But then one speaker remarked: which actually inspired me to put this event on blog.

Actually A govt firm was tranferring its technology (in form of a product) to a private company and thats too on network security. Isn't it great.

Anyway, i attended the meeting, i gave presentation. and afterwards it was over. After getting free, i was thinking to do something which is not related to system, i thought blogging. and again i was on my system :-)

A wonderful day proceedings

I.. actually dont know what wonderful day actually mean.. becuase all day are wonderful in one or other sense..

But I see, many people putting their best day so far. So I thought to monitor and I got it today a best day in recent times. I came to office and I took a small write up assignment (yeah in project work) thats too on Windows File System Filter Driver and you guess for what :-) for Sy.. System Requirements Specification document of a Security Software.. I completed it in 1 hour, it came up very well very fast.

Anyway, I went to IIIT Hyderabad and I listened to Mr. John E. Hopcroft. He talked on Future Directions in Computer Science. I could not get much of his details, but I was able enough to understand the problem and probable and definite "probablistic" and other solutions. But alas! I could not ask him a question. Well !!
His ppt link is http://www.cs.cornell.edu/jeh/. You will get it in Talks Sections.

1. Becuase John discussed too much maths in his presentation: One guy (senior old person) aksed him: so maths will continue to rock, and who doesnt know this much maths, he is OUT :-)

John replied: "Well.. Technology existed much before Science and Maths came into existence." and I got a feeling at that time: Technology is household but science and maths are not that much. We can see our mothers and household people to use things in a nice technical ways :-)

2. Somebody asked him something and used the word software. John told universities does talk about programs and not softwares.""

I got a feeling that: there are two things : university and industry.. whos bridging the gap...

Isnt it a wonderful day ! ! !

just a humour !

DATE: 22 AUG 2008
i was sitting in my cubicle chatting with my colleague and topic was pathetic situation of India in Olympic games. we were not expecting anything and are so happy with 3. anyway discussion went on and finally came on government.

So a question to all of you....

Why government of India is not serious about making plans for winning golds / silver etc in Olympics.....

Any guesses.....

THEY WANT URANIUM..... AND IF IN OLYMPIC THEY DISTRIBUTE URANIUM TO WINNERS, GOVT OF INDIA WILL SURE TRY THEIR BEST :-)

Right thinking, minwin

i see a lot of people criticizing ms for its closed approach towards software ie. proprietary. and finally their innovation is blamed.

But if you compare ms products in 1990 and 2008 you find a lot of improvements. compare those with other OS developers.

motivational thought

I am not a fan of indira gandhi, but she has told one motivational thought which is enough for young hearts of india to rise to ocassion and work harder.

pragati to keval tabhi sambhav hai jab hum apni shamtao ko tutane ke star tak le jaye. anubhav yeh batata hai ki aise prayas hume todne ke bajay aur shakti pradan karte hai.

Improvement is possible only when we take our efforts to a level of break down. But Experience tells that such efforts dont break the person but give him more confidence and strength.

My nerd score

I sit on internet for a whole day, but still i miss a lot of fun given by this. I was just reading someone's profile and i saw nerd score. so i thought to have one.

Test Series in Cricket.

The test cricket remains most thrilling form of cricket. But in a try, not to loose it teams play slow and dirty sometimes. Decsions of test series depends on how much one win. I propose a better solution to make it interesting. Suppose 3 test match series is there. results can be 3-0 or 2-1 or 1-2 or 0-3. IF results are these, ok, decision is done. But for test series which have decisions like 1-1 or 0-0, some points on 2 point scale must be given to each team on day basis. So finally we have 30 points to be awarded or divided among two teams. Hence winner of series can be decided.
