Vacation is here.....
For nine days starting from today starts the Onam vacation.I had plans of devoting some time to be a part of the Open Source Revolution and as a part of that just checked out http://www.linuxfromscratch.org It is an online guidebook for creating our own Linux Distros.but to use it one must acquire fair amount of working knowledge about Linux,which I dont have.All basic steps for creating a distribution,the command line parameters as well as the implications of every line of code plus the synatx are given in a well documnted easy to understand manner.The process of creation uses an existing installation as a host environment to work on.Besides there is also ALFS,which is Automated Linux From Scratch,which automates most of the LFS build procedure and aftert that.I will definitely try it out once I have a good understanding of a Linux System.

Today was the first full day class in Fifth Semester.Perhaps one of the most intersting subjects in E&C is Microprocessors and Microcontrollers,and today was the first class of MP.That was truly great.I wonder how such a small chip is capable of doing large computations.start was good today,but classes are only till this friday before college closes for Onam vacations and within the span of 10 days we are sure to forget a great share of what is taken today.I am always excited by Lab work but hate writing records.Tomorrow is the first lab of Linear Integrated circuits basically the IC 741.The other lab is Computer Programming lab.I have no problems with thateither,but forgetting the code and logic for simple programs can be as frustrating as being unable to design a circuit for lab exam.
Now to the gaming section,I am still stuck on to the 81st mission in GTA SanAndreas.I cannot figue out a way to finish that,but somehow i must finish that.I am now working on it.As a week long vacation is coming I am pretty sure I will finish it in that interval........

Today was the Onam celebrations in my college.It was a grand program.The flower carpet contest was the main attraction.We all had donated Rs 30 for flowers,which have become expensive due to bad monsoon in cultivating areas.Our design was a beautiful one.Very colourful and filled with lovelyness.Last year our carpet was a mess,thankfully, this year it is not.Our decesion to use sand for that extra buldge might have caused us the prize.The judges were impressed with our design and style of arrangement,but using other materials was against the rules.
Sadly i could not take any photos to post here.I will do it as soon as i get sme form my friends.

My first post
This is my first post on this blog.I wanted to have a blog long time back and now after fourth semester university exams is the perfect time i think for me to start blogging.
I have started playing GTA SanAndreas with the aim of finishing the game,unlike my previous days of playing,where i just kept on exploring the city.I have often wondered as to how programmers at RockStar created a city with so much details and effects....and speaking of GTA, time for me to go...More coming here,LATER.
