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.
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”

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.

Found this code online and I think it is absolutely hilarious, even to people who don’t even know C.
static void happy_meal_tcvr_write(struct happy_meal *hp,
unsigned long tregs, int reg,
unsigned short value)
{
int tries = TCVR_WRITE_TRIES;
ASD(("happy_meal_tcvr_write: reg=0x%02x value=%04x\n", reg,
value));
/* Welcome to Sun Microsystems, can I take your order please? */
if (!hp->happy_flags & HFLAG_FENABLE)
return happy_meal_bb_write(hp, tregs, reg, value);
/* Would you like fries with that? */
hme_write32(hp, tregs + TCVR_FRAME,
(FRAME_WRITE | (hp->paddr < < 23) |
((reg & 0xff) << 18 ) | (value & 0xffff)));
while (!(hme_read32(hp, tregs + TCVR_FRAME) & 0x10000) && --tries)
udelay(20);
/* Anything else? */
if (!tries)
printk(KERN_ERR "happy meal: Aieee, transceiver MIF write
bolixed\n");
/* Fifty-two cents is your change, have a nice day. */
I think that the programmer who wrote this was a little bit bored.
I hate mornings. In the words of Wendy the good witch: “Mornings would be so much better if they happened in the afternoon” Today I woke up at 7 am thinking it was 8 am then realized that it was 7 am so went back to sleep. Then I got a call at 7:30 am from Ruth so that I could help her with her website assignment (I had asked her to call me in the morning, but I had forgotten that her morning starts a lot earlier than mine).
Once we were done with this I left for work and got stuck in traffic *again*. This time a car was totalled on I-280 causing a 1 1/2 mile backup. Not fun. I had taked a photo of the crash but managed to erase it by mistake. 🙁
Ok, after posting so many tech news items in one day I think its time to post something else for a change.
I was happlly surfing the web when I thought I should check my email again and I got quite a shock when I saw 11 new emails had come in within the last 15 mins. And none of them were junk, that was the surprising part.
What had happened was that Surabhi, Vinit, Vivek and Ruth were having a 4 way ‘chat’ using email. So I obviously joined in and started shooting off emails, It was a lot of fun. Over all we had about 20 – 25 emails sent in about an hour’s time (All of us were supposed to be working/studying during this time). Then Ruth had to sign-off as she had to work on an assignment so we ended the 5 way email chat othewise there would have been a lot more mail’s…
Thats all for now. Will post more later.
