I am a COMPUTER ENGINEER

I am a Computer Engineer . I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "That guy is Cool". You're so right. I don't like to brag, too much, but I'll let you in on some details. I have many friends in chat rooms. I have excellent contacts but I prefer to wear glasses because they make me look so cool. Many women want me to fix their computers. I frequently get laid off. I know many languages: Java, C, C++. I travel to many exotic places in online games I'm into sports drinks. I collect fancy cars. Most are still in their original Hot Wheels packaging. I smell good so I don't shower very often because I don't want to ruin it. I have a black belt that I wear when I can't find my suspenders. I know that you're now thinking "I want to be that guy." But you can't. I was here first. Courtesy: an unknown blog with an unfamiliar name. Anyways, thanks. Prince Mishra Computer Engineer

DAY 3 - System programming

Prince Mishra had his third exam today, and he found it AWESOME! The last two..well they were not nice at all and although I'm pretty sure I've passed, it won't be a triumphant pass! Today's paper went pretty well, I thought - there are a few places where I fudged a bit, but only a few. Again, it appears to be more a prize for memorizing past papers than it is an engineering exam, since the paper was almost identical in format to last year's, and the year before that - but, hey, I'm not complaining, since most of my revision is done with past papers. Thank you techmax, thank you brilliant jigar :) 

The Dark Night

No, I did not misspell the Batman Superhit! its my way of describing the NIGHT before the exam! Yes, I have my CN exam tomorrow noon! I haven't yet read the chapters..and what do I have? 15 hours for 12 chapters..that's like 1.25 hours per chapter..60 pages an hour..1 page a minute...Completely doable ! No, I am not psyching out. I am not distressed. But why is it that on every night before the exam, I have to pray to God if he could just give me one more day! If... And the dark night hails on..

exams...again...

Had the PPL exam yesterday. No surprise - I elegantly fried it. I haven't had such a frustrating exam in AIT since the M3 exam last sem. But there's no time to ruminate at all, for I have MIS and SP, both of which are 0% complete! :(

What the hell is this? well, it's the "hello world" program in brainfuck! Did I say "brainfuck?" yes, that's exactly what I said! but what on earth is that? oh well, it's a programming language! Tired of good old programming languages whose goal it is to make your life easier? Feel like stretching the 'ol grey matter a bit? Then this is the thing for you! Created by Urban Mueller, Brainfuck is an eight instruction Turing-complete programming language. This means that it can be shown to be equivalent to a Turing machineand therefore capable of performing any computation. oh, that's just to sound a little techie! ;) All it means is that you can write any program in bra...

Linux is not for everyone

Just thought of bringing down my posts in different other blogs to this one place. This one was published in the college magazine "SRIJNA" last year. LINUX IS NOT FOR EVERYONE ! I'm not a technical writer. I'm not someone who's only used the most well known Operating Systems. And most importantly, I'm not someone who is going to try and convince you that you need to switch to Linux if you're currently using Windows. Let me go one step further... I'm going to tell you why Linux is NOT for you. I love Linux. I use it on my laptop, it powers my MOTO ROCKR E6, the new SONY BRAVIA HDTV has it, and heck, I even run Linux on my D-Link LAN card, which hooks my network shebang together. But, Linux isn't for everyone. Seriously. Here are my top five reasons why you shouldn't move to Linux . . .

It's your life, afterall

Have you ever noticed, that in life, there are two kinds of people? There are people who realize that their lives are in their own two hands. People who make it happen, people who grab life by the balls, and actually get what they want. People who do not make excuses. People who receive an idea, and  run with it and make it happen. If they 'fail' they realize failure doesn't exist. There is only feedback, which is why I put the word 'failure' in quotes. They take the feedback, and continuously make adjustments, till they reach their goals. They are the ones you see living in excellent houses, going on the nice vacations, and making things happen. You meet them, and immediately you feel their strong confident aura, they shake your hand firmly. These people are in the top 10% of the population, what is known as 'the talented tenth'. I refer to this class of people as 'Lions'. They take control of their own destiny, and never start the day in neutral,...

The world does not owe you anything

I read a post on  http://www.plime.com/  sometime during my TE days. I saved the page because it hit me somewhere deep. I, too, was blaming everyone and everything around for everything that was happening. But these profound words made me recover from that state of mind. So this entry is for everyone with that feeling. The world does not owe you anything. Those are words my father told me when I was very young. They were not the words that instantly changed my life or my viewpoint. In fact, I still struggle with their meaning and impact everyday. Everytime something goes wrong in my life, every infraction and injustice I perceive, those words echo, however faintly, behind my indignation, my sense of entitlement. Those are some profound words, if you're human and you want things and those things don't come your way. Those are profound words if you have things and you feel deserving of those things, but you feel guilty for having them. Those are some profound words i...

AIT a.k.a Army institute of Technology

Been quite a while that I wrote anything. But I am glad, that I am back. Now that I am done with my submissions for my third year second semester (and that too right on time. Bang!), and 10 days right before the practicals start banging my head off, I am feeling a certain urge of writing about this place. AIT. Army Institute of Technology, Pune. But how could I end up writing a post on AIT . I should instead be doing something else . Anything …sleeping , rope-skipping, play gilli danda , dancing or doing anything more worthwhile. But NO! My idiotic , uncontrollable , insensible , psychotic and involuntary mind could think of doing nothing else when I was getting the urge to write this senseless post. But as I am a man of my words [huh ? What words ? Half the time I don’t even know what I speak] . MAN AM GOING CRAZY THESE DAYS . I blame this summer heat for turning me crazy with the utter joy of timely submissions, So I am going to write something on AIT. Mighty mighty AIT they s...
