A chat transcript with an Anonymous Researcher (who insisted on being so), henceforth referred to as AR.

1:56 AM

AR: there ??
we have a small problem

me: Yeah
Hmm?

AR: there is a series called “The Unit”
uske seasons 2,3 and 4 hain
unfortunately season 1 nahin hai

me: ye problem hai? :P

AR: it’s a pretty good series…
it’s a serious problem…..
for research students
you have no idea how hard it is to do research without good series to watch

me: seriously.. rofl :P
I thought ki kuch ho gaya types :P

AR: it’s true man
if and when you do research you will realise it..
no series => no research

me: :P

AR: i submitted a paper to an A+ conference and it was made possible only by watching the west wing
woh bhi just the first 4 seasons
imagine if i had watched the 3 other seasons….

me: You know what.. I’ll blog about this :P

AR: turing award winning kaam kar liya hota….
dude..
it’s a well known fact

me: I’m not arguing :P

AR: ok

February post

February 26, 2009 at 5:47 pm · Filed under iiit, life

I just logged into wordpress yesterday and realised it’s been a month since I blogged. And with February about to get over, I thought it would be good to have at least one post this month, however small as it may be (considering the last few posts I’ve been writing :D )

This happened in Parallel Programming class, Prof. Govindrajulu was calling out names of those who had not submitted the assignment. He called out this guy’s name (which I’ve again forgotten). I asked Kshitij, “He’s an M. Tech. guy, isn’t he?”. And the reply I get: No, he’s doing MS. He lives next to your room, buddy!

I was like, wtf. :D

PS0: No, this isn’t fiction. You can ask Kshitij and confim. :P

PS1: External hd crashed. All the movies, music and TV series lost. :(

PS2: Above that, WD site sucks like hell.

PS3: And more above that, down with a cold. :(

PS4: Bad times!

Wireless drivers

January 31, 2009 at 1:54 am · Filed under fun, iiit, linux ·Tagged , , , ,

Q: Why do some people get mad while installing wireless drivers?

Ans: Because they use Atheros chipsets and have to install madwifi.
