Nothing special done

Filed under: My Life — Suramya @ 2:46 AM

Did nothing special over the weekend. Did a little programming for home.
Rest of the time, I slept, watched Seven Day’s and finished the third season of Voyager.

Also read a book: The hunt for Ircarus. It was a good book most of the way but the ending was stupid. It made no sense at all.

Well this is all for now. Will post more later.

People throw away the nicest things.

Filed under: My Life — Suramya @ 12:01 AM

You have to admit it people are stupid.

Today my roommate found a box full of hardcover books in like new condition, a HP printer and some coat hangers lying outside our apartment. Apparently some joker was moving out and dumped all that into the garbage.

In the box there are 8 books by Tom Clancy, 1 Calvin and Hobbes comic and other misc authors. We are keeping 14 of the books and are donating the rest to the NJIT library. That way someone who appreciates books will get the chance to read them.

General Update

Filed under: My Life — Suramya @ 3:14 AM

Well like I had promised I forgot to update the blog over the past few days ’cause I got busy/lazy. The days have been a bit eventful.

Monday & Tuesday:

Fell sick so stayed at home and slept all day. It was nice to relax but the headace wasn’t that much fun.

Wednesday:

Got back to work and had to catchup on all the backlog of work, lucklily there wasn’t a lot of it but not that much fun. Gout out early and spent the evening watching Star Trek Voyager and Seven Days. Also upldoaed some new pics to the Photogallery.

Thursday:

Horrible weather today but still had to goto work. Worked with a cool javascript tab widget that simulates the windows tab appearence and layout. Having some problems with my grid when I use it but still a lot of fun.

David brought the puppies to work today which was fun, we got to play puppy catch. 🙂 Also got a IR controled car, spent a lot of time playing with it and got David mad ’cause I was draining the batteries so that he couldn’t play with it. If we had more of them we could have a race.

Spent the evening watching Voyager again, also played a bit with GIMP and did some image editing.

This is all for now. Will post more later.

Office Fun

Filed under: My Life — Suramya @ 3:22 AM

Today when we went to do our weekly grocery shopping for snacks/drinks for work (We go through 12 Ltrs of Mountain Dew in 5 days) we found halloween costumes being sold at PathMark so we bought

  • Vampire Teeth
  • Spider Web (Went up around Surabhi’s Desk)
  • Clown Nose

While we were ‘testing’ the products Piet rembered that he always wanted to be a clown so he immediately staked a claim on the clown nose and posed for some nice pics (Posted below)



Piet hard at Work

David is doing some enhancements to the vampire teeth and those pics will be up as soon as the final product is available.

This is all for now. Will post more stuff later.

Its fun meeting old friends

Filed under: My Life — Suramya @ 3:25 AM

Today an old friend of mine: ‘Amit’ dropped by for a visit after a looong time. We drove to an egyptian place for dinner and caught up on old times. Then we came back home and talked some more. It was a lot of fun.

Tomorrow I might be going to Washington to visit another friend. I will be leaving from NJ early in the morning and will be back Sunday morning… Atleast thats the plan for now, lets see if we actually manage to wakeup on time and leave.

Sleep in trains and get a $50 fine

Filed under: Funny News — Suramya @ 11:58 PM

This one is just corny. I mean how stupid can you get.

When a student fell asleep in a Chicago subway train, he did not realise his predicament would quickly become a cause celebre. He was given a $50 ticket ’cause he was sleeping dangerously in the train. Officials said Bhatia had “violated a CTA ordinance by obstructing the operation of a train”

Old TV shows are funny

Filed under: My Life — Suramya @ 3:26 AM

After a hard day at work its fun to come home and relax by watching a good movie or old TV series. The past few weeks I have been getting old episodes to Dr. Who on DVD from Netflix and they are hesterical.

Today I watched a Australian TV mini-series called “The Girl From Tomorrow”. It was actually pretty nice. Its about this girl who got transported back in time from year 3000 to year 1992 and how she gets back to year 3000.

The special effects look silly but overall the show is worth watching atleast once.

Is the GPL a virus?

Filed under: Computer Related,Funny News — Suramya @ 5:36 PM

This news just made me laugh:

Clamav a popular opensource virus scanner has been hastily updated this morning to remove a ‘false positive’: the scanner was detecting the GNU Public Licence as a virus.

I know that some people call the GNU licence viral but isn’t this a bit too much?
