Last evening i had given the film roll for development and printing and they asked me come later and collect it as i had asked them to take a digital copy of it in a CD.This wish of mine proved to be disastrous as i assumed that the digital image is created as a part of their process.they never told me that they scan the photos after printing.next day i went at 7 to collect the photos as usual it was not ready and they asked me to return back in half hour later and i did so.as it was not ready even by then i showed them how impatient i am getting on and how hot i am under the collar and then i had my photos in my hand.
On seeing the photos i knew that i have made a terrible mistake of giving them the roll.i had used the kodak 400 premium roll the best & the costliest roll available in the market.what is the use of crying over spilled milk?The chain of unfortunateness didnot end there.they gave me the CD and then the bill.whew 545 bucks just for developing 2 rolls and printing.for putting in the CD they charged some 170 (inclusive in the 545).after paying the money i demanded atleast a album for keeping these photos which would normally be given at free of cost at almost any place on earth.again they turned down the request.with some 60 photos kept together without a album i returned home.Another shock came in when had a look at the so called scanned photos in the CD.dreadful indeed. it had everything except for the clarity.
my 545 + 240(roll cost) totally went down the drain along with the fond memories of the industrial visit since because these maniacs messed up with my precious poccessions.From this on i decided to go all the way to trichy and give away the film rolls to be developed in my usual developing centre out there.Boohoo my precious photos of the kerela IV !!!!!!!!

Technozion - Land of the Scion
when i heard that my paper has been selected for presentation at NIT - Warangal i was out of bounds and soon after i returned back from kerela i arranged for the trip to warangal ie got the papers printed out and so on.Then i proceeded to warangal staying at the house at trichy and chennai for quite a little time.As i travelled in the tamilnadu express i was eager about the outcome of the competitions.Then as i landedin warangal i saw some representatives of technoscions and they directed me to a autowallah and he took me to the college.
At the registration desk i was asked to attend the inauguration which i did eventually and this thing gave mea outline about the college and then i registered with them and stayed in G block which was literally outside the college.The roomates were all from Andhra.after having a chat with them i started to college again for first session of LE DOSSIER SECRETS ie the paper presentation.all the papers of that session were just generic papers and this brewed a lot of confidence in me.That day i met keshav a NITW product and from him i learnt about dinesh, my schoolmate that he was not available for he had come to trichy.he introduced to some tamil guys and we enjoyed together in the INFORMALS ,the rockin night which had some cine comperers for the shows and competitions.
Next day i had a small talk with joydeep paul(finalyear) the CSE organiser about the opensolaris usergroup and so on.in the morning session Ramanathan a NITT product presented his paper on search technique using DCOM and i knew atonce that he is a sureshot candidate in the prize list.in the afternoon i presented my paper.from the way the people looked at me i understood that i had made a mark to some extent.That night at the informals we had some DJ from a metro and i need not tell how the we would have enjoyed that night.
Next day i chatted from the morning till afternoon with Ramanathan & Kasturi Rangan NITT products and the probables in the prize list and in the atfernoon joydeep hinted on the good news that i would hear soon.that comforted me and in the valedictory my third place in paper presentation was confirmed and i got a cert and a shield kind of and a cash prize of 2000.soon after it ended i met joydeep and parted.In the railway station i waited for some 4 hours till 1 AM as the train was late and then boarded it and came to chennai at 2 PM next day.
when i look back, i am indeed happy that my first attempt in paper presentation that too in a highly esteemed institution has come out with good results.probably should make this as a starting for a streak of laurels to be won.

Yet Another High-time Occasion On-stage (YAHOO!!!!)
When Mr.Anthony Wasserman from Carnegie Mellon west and Murugan Pal CTO spikesource came to the college this saturday it was me who did the compering.As far as i know there was no flaws.but the presence of emminent people on stage put me in a very tensed position till the event came to the end.Then we had some discussion with them reg open-source and abt our plans for future and so on.Then Mr.Sen gave a presentation to the delegates about the CAS & Migrated TCENET in python.it was much appreciated.i could not give a presentation on cluster setup in PPlab due to lack of time. Then as soon as they departed we went to Aarthy for the lunch.Then we returned back and then had a chat with everyone till it was getting dark.this is how we spend the weekend.

Pragyan - Celebrating Technology to its apogee & the workshop Hacked by Ankit Fadia.
somewhat around this time last year i had the chance to visit a college well known for its poshness(already blogged giving a full account of it).But this time,call it luck or whatever u want because i had no plans to go to my home this weekend but my last minute decision to spend this weekend at my house at trichy proved to be futile and fortunate for i visited the NIT when it was showcasing its extravagant truly international Tech Fiesta PRAGYAN-06 with its caption "Let's celebrate Technology".Added feature to this is NIT trichy's 30th anniversary(what else one would need?).
when i got down from the bus at the REC stop to reach my home on friday night it was around 11.30 and there was not much crowd around.hey presto where am i? surely not in Las Vegas the city of lights. The college buildings,roads, trees and the fence was dazzling with decoration lights. Voila !! what a sight to watch!!! Eventhough i knew about Pragyan except for the dates i could not figure out the reason for the lightings.. after gaping at the decoration for sometime i went home.
It was only in the morning on seeing the newspaper i remembered regarding Pragyan which was scheduled for that day and continues for 3 more days.myself along with Bharathi mohan set out to the sify iway to know about the schedule for that day. Hurray !!! how lucky we were....That day ie on saturday there was a workshop Hacked by a 20 year old network guru by name Ankit Fadia(Whew!!!! what a profile he has got for his age)... we registered online for that workshop. i rang up Ashok and he was more than happy to join us.
when the clock struck 4 o'clock we(myself,bharathi & ashok) were at the entrance of the prestigious institution.The massive Flexi banners(he he this thing makes me remember my experience with it) for pragyan dutifully welcomed us.We went to the sports ground(to while away the time till 6.30) where there was stalls for each competition and yummy food courts too with recent film songs from Rang de basandi & other hindi films being played at full volume which filled the air with festivity & importance.In one of the stalls we met Kaadi(Karthikeyan) our schoolmate who is presently doing civil at NIT.From him i learnt that some people from our college too had come there to attend some workshops like robovigyan.In fact we later saw some two of them.Kaadi too then joined us.
When we slowly made our way towards the Barn hall where the workshop was supposed to start by 6.30. myself & Bharathi recounted the no of days that we had travelled thro those roads in all sorts of weather that too quite early in the morning to attend the maths tution conducted by Mr.Karuppan chetty (HOD Mathematics,NIT) in 12th std. Finally we went to the barn hall which is of historical importance to us for this where we had our counseling some 3 years back.The whole college was there along with some participants and some foreign delegates.Then the inauguration took place. TCS being the sponsor for pragyan the chief guests were the vice president and the head of chennai operations both being NIT's alumni. the multimedia presentation also needs a special mention here.
Then came the much awaited hour of importance the stage was given to Ankit....(This guy during one of his visits to one of the presitigious institutions in india (at that time he was doing 11th std) had a very few turnabouts, doubting his ability, so he officially cracked that college's mail server and changed the password during his lecture and this made people pouring in instantly(heard this from a friend)). this guy has even helped the international secret agency,Symantec and so on)it was an absolutely Impeccable lecture.he elaborated on how to hack the internet in particular about email forging,proxies and so on.his case studies combined with online demos took everyone to the edge of the seats.Then he briefed about trojans and showed the infamous subseven trojan.he even answered queries on how to perfectly hack a system without being caught...he gave more importance to multiproxy jumping in this regard.he sited many websites where one could learn more and how to prevent themselves from being cracked.
Then he dealt with the Queries during which we went out to have food. Since computer hacking itself took some 2 1/2 hours during the next 1 hour he dealt with queries and then with mobile phones hacking.due to lack of time he left out ATM hacking :( This guy has published so many books which have become the standard books in many universities ( this guy is doing BS at stanford ). one notable book is ethical hacking blah blah...( ethical?) by 10 PM it came to end. what a time we had those 4 hours... fully packed with contents.... never had i been with such a informative & intelligent crowd which was kept electric by a celebrated personality.with this our adventure for that day ended.
It is a pity that we could could not attend all the workshops scheduled for the next 3 days. there were other entertainments like laser shows,3D gaming arena and lectures of many eminent people like prof.yashpal sharma.Pragyan showed the mettle of the nittians and their organising skills needs a special mention.On sunday evening i came to the REC bus stop to board the bus to madurai.I saw prof.yashpal going in to deliver the lecture and the banners & decoration lights beckoning people to enter the world of intellects to celebrate technology.
The rendezvous with Ankit Fadia & the extravagant Pragyan would be in my memory forever. Hats off to the nittians.....

Yeah........It is 2006.
had plans to go home for the new year but couldnot. so i stayed at the house alone on Dec 31st. after returning for coll thought of going to some hotel and then to cafe coffee day, my usual hangout. thought somone would give me company but could not find one. determined to go to cafe i thought of starting by 7. but call it fate or whatever i slept by 6 and got up only by 9.30 Totally baffled i had my dinner at Aarthy's and then had dilemma like whether to go to Cafe or not but due to lack of company and due to lack night service buses from anna nagar i had too ditch my plans.
Some people stayed at home and some hanged out and enjoyed to the Xtreme in their own way when the clock struck 12 while i was made to stay back in which is neither fully my home nor a hostel room.quite uneventfully and with boredom the new year eve passed. from this on i learnt a lot and made it sure that to go home for any important day associated with some festivity. Its hard to stay back here alone and tamper with the keyboard for composing this blog when the year 2006 dawns and so many SMSes pouring in from all sides.....Yeah it is 2006

Seniors turnsup
Last sunday senior subramanian(HCL-Chennai) turned up in madurai.He had already informed us that he would be coming and asked us to plan for a treat somewhere.After some discussion we decided to have our treat at Bell - simmakkal which was ok for veggies like sriram,ranjani & myself.so on that eventful day we wrapped up our session at the Lab and started to periyar.The party-thrower turned up soon after and we all made our way to the hotel.It was already 2.30 and the stocks were running low so we could have just one round of serving. with that we stopped and then we went to the fast food @ jayaram bakery.
By the time we came out of the jayaram's it was 5.30 and then we went to Kodal Azhagar perumal temple where we had a nice little chat till it was 8.00 He explained about his experiences at the company and so on.He also asked us to concentrate on coding some thing great rather than fully concentrating on administering and configuring systems or networks.His advice made a impact on us and we parallely started concentrating on Loquacity along with CAS.
It was thursday night and Balamurugan(Wipro-Bangalore) came to college.He gave us a treat at Aarthy,my usual dining hotel.Then SAP (Trilogy-Bangalore) phoned and we talked with him(pity i missed his treat when he was here).Then i stayed at senior Sen's along with Bamu and went on chatting for hours together.Next day i got up late & could not attend first two periods to have breakfast with them.Then in the evening we stayed with Bamu till he boarded the bus.

Personal website launch procrastinated
Two days have passed since the results came.The outcome was a new wave of determination & spirit.As always said "man proposes God disposes" last sem i wrote the exams too well but i could sum up a meagre 8.46 but this time i dont remember writing any theory exam flawlessly but as per the proverb things worked out for me.
I have drooled a lot about setting up a personal website in a professional manner.This has been in my mind for quite a long time but as always i had plans to do it big.At this point of time i didnot want to spend a penny either for the webspace or for the domain registration.so i surfed a lot for any good hoster who gave free webhosting name & also free sub-domains.but i could not get the thing needed. i mean eventhough they gave me 250 megs of space the Linux-Apache-Mysql-PHP(LAMP) and cgi support was not given.these supports are needed for setting up a content management systems(CMS). am not much interested in setting up a raw hand written html pages which i had done already many times before. i was looking for a perfect CMS which does everything in a elegant way. Eventhough setting up a CMS could be somewhat tedious once set it is what one could expect from a website.
Having set many other CMS already for various other reasons i easily figured out that the mambo was the talk of the town these days.since no free web hoster supports LAMP for free i totally postponed my plan of setting up a website for another year.To just satisfy myself i just setup the mambo in my personal system and enjoyed the grandeur of the website. he he...i think i figured out a place other than my personal website where i would be setting up a Mambo soon.........

servers & insomnia
This week was indeed interesting after days of unimportant turnabouts. Because i was exposed to higher end servers which i have never even had a glimpse before. The ambience of the rack mounted SAN and NAS gave me as though i was looking at a supercomputer.Special mention to itanium smp server and ML350 and octal blades. how could i forget the higherend xeons i am working on?
we successfully installed GNU/Linux on all those and got lot of never before experiences.Even for exams i couldnot remember a day staying awake so long except for the days when i work on things in which i am interested.These nightouts are infact quite exciting. On monday night we had night lab and i slept by 4.30 in the lab.but today i am going to stay awake.with the announcements of results tomorrow am keeping my fingers crossed and keeping my head as cool as a cucumber.

Ilya longtemp je t'ai ecrit
It has been long time since i have recorded my experiences.. the fifth sem holidays are here and am enjoying it watching many films in DVD (got a brand new DVD player combo he he esp for this purpose) Side by side am doing some useful work too. so far we have configured kerberos + ldap for linux systems successfully in a test bed. should do for other platforms too. Also under heavy pressure am studying for gre too. probably should write it in april. determined to give my best shot in the first try itself.
Things pending and should be doing quick are
* getting a passport
* getting a driving licence
* checking a eye doctor ( cant imagine myself wearing a glasses)
these days i am staying awake for a long time during night but could not get up early eventhough i tried all sorts of mechanisms to get up. things have changed in this regards since i left my school where i used to get up and sleep at any time i wanted ie it was under my control. once i achieve that stance i can do more.

This day That age
i could still remember the day i stepped into the pplab one year ago.at that time i was only good at animation and motion graphics none other knowledge in computer to make my mark and carve a niche for myself.it is true that i took computer sci as my specification of study in 11 and 12th and knew the art to some extent.It is at this juncture i met the Eguru of GNU/Linux.
well it was I. Amalan Joe Steeve who inspired me with his talk and assimilated me towards Free software.how could i ever forget him?it is that thing that changed everything in my life.exactly one year before i was a newbee in GNU.now eventhough i am not the best in it i have advanced from the position of a debutant.
The omnipotence of GNU pulled me into that vortex.it is that determination that made me to go all the way to vellore to hear the words of RMS all alone(i like to travel alone thats a different story) that too without knowing the place.
there are many people whom i cannot forget for making me walk thro this path.Bamu and sap played a vital role in this.it is a pity that happy days wouldnt last long.bamu sap, joe went out of the college finishing their course should this thing happen altogether? but the legacy left behind by joe would never fade.The essence and flavour of GNU would continue to spread through our college.

there are many people whom i cannot forget for making me walk thro this path.Bamu and sap played a vital role in this.it is a pity that happy days wouldnt last long.bamu sap, joe went out of the college finishing their course should this thing happen altogether? but the legacy left behind by joe would never fade.The essence and flavour of GNU would continue to spread through our college.

A Day with RMS
Feb 6th turned out to be the luckiest day for all FSF guys in TN.i too was one among them.I travelled all alone for nearly 450 kms ie to Vellore a city where i had never been before.There i somehow managed to get to VIT (Vellore institute of technology) .I was there at 8 am nearly one hour before the guest of the day was scheduled to arrive. i just had a look around whew! what a college? it seemed like as though i had entered a college at US. Then the speech given by RMS was same as the GNU/Linux advocacy given already by joe.That day was indeed a day to be noted in the diary as i was with the person who was very famous

days passes on
The minutes passes on like seconds,the hours like minutes,the days like hours and there i am at the end of the five days after training. it is here that i was enlightened about the basics of my defenseless system programming arena. Till then i was much interested in Animation but i understood that as a computer science student i could use it only as a tool to elevate my presentation that is all. Here i was exposed to the things that i was totally unaware.In short it brought me to my senses, i understood my responsibilities. Soon things such as ego,difference of opinion, jealousy seemed to ebb out of me and i became a new ever hungry(for knowledge) Amphivert.
There is still a long way to go It is only now that i have started......................

First At Virtusa
Hoping that the first blog that i am writing here while i am at virtusa would stand against time and that would indeed help me to turn back some pages in my life when i am having a tryst with destiny in the ages to come,would boost up my morale and arouse the spirit within me to conquer the plethora of sterner and the sinister days.Now eventhough i am jubiliant in writing a kernal with others, i could not estimate the feasibility of it.Lots and lots of work to be done on it. indeed hoping for the best i am coming to an end of this small murmer
