Life Update

I have decided to join IIT Madras for M Tech. It's funny, the only thing I can think of is "I'm gonna miss living in kerala". I'm getting homesick already.

Today is saturday. Got to help my friend here to cook. Today's special: stew (pronounced "ishtew")

"The lyf so short, the craft so longe to lerne"
- Geoffrey Chaucer

I'm pretty good at cooking

Pazham pori is one of my favorite snacks.

Here (Technopark) it costs about Rs. 4/-. Pretty high considering the fact that here pazham pori is just pori without a pazham. So just like Linus Torvalds decided to make Linux getting sick of all crappy OS es at that time, I thought about doing the unthinkable - make pazham pori myself.

I tried it out for the first time about 5 weeks ago. It turned out to be a big hit. Then I tried it out at my kazhakoottam home with two of my friends manu and renjith. They helped me a lot too; they ate about 25 out of 40 I made (Nah..they helped me cook too). Yesterday (Apr 29), I took a shot at making pazham pori for the third time. It was a big success too.

Planning to make it a few more times because a lot of ingredients (except banana) are left over from first buy.

Don't know what to name this

That time is not far away, when Internet and phone will be free.

That time is not far away, when water and air will cost you a fortune.

Why compilers should start looking into comments!!!

/* Fix for BUG: 1313 */
jumpFlag = 0; /* Set jumpFlag to 1 */

MS Word cleaner!!!

See http://textism.com/wordcleaner/

"A tool to strip Microsoft's proprietary tags and other superfluous noise
from Word-generated HTML documents, leaving all the basic goodness intact."

A perfect example of why closed source sucks!!!

Trying to fix up badness in programs using other programs.

Sounds like somebody should modify MS Word HTML generation part.

Got to love this if u've heard the real song

We don't need no indirection
We don't need no flow control
No data typing or declarations
Did you leave the lists alone?

Hey! Hacker! Leave those lists alone!

All in all, it was, just a pure-LISP function call.

If you don't know, the real song is,
Another brick in the wall..

Habit

The most basic fact of life. Every action is influenced by habit.
