Countdown

I am about a week away from joining my new job and beginnning a (hopefully) new kind of life. To give up the lazy feeling that I have had for sometime now, I have set myself to the task of building myself with a new website that reflects my personality. Now the work is easier said than done.

First of all there are several motivations for doing this .... My website at geocities has been lying around for sometime. It has some basic information but is very boring. I myself never like to look at it and everytime I visit some cool webpages, I crave for one myself. Also I have got a fresh account at hostingzero with 1 GB of storage and tons of bandwidth and I want to host something fresh on that. It currently mirrors my geocities account and can be reached at hostingzero address.

I am trying to get nvu up on my gentoo system but as i am trying with a prebuit tar ball i have not had much success ....

A day out

So i finally went out with my mom today. She had been complaining all this long that I have become very lazy and never go out with her.

We went to East Delhi Mall, not very far off from or home. It was quite big for the malls that I have seen in Delhi and there were quite a lot of shops. And as usual, there were a lot of people all around to watch. It was fun watching people take the ride on an esclator and not very smooth ones all the time :) ....

I too had a small accident when i barged into one of the showroom without realizing the too clear glass door (now i get those clear glass advtsmnts) that was not open as i thought it was. There were not too many people otherwise I am sure I would have made a comical site and made them laugh. The salesmen were trained well as they did not giggle :)

Pizza Hut was good with their meal for two that included the new freshizza and CCD was good too unlike the one in Noida's Atta. With a lot of rain pouring outside the whole affair was pretty much fun ...

Limit Exceeded !!!

Today after uploading a file to my geocities.com/pmd_iitgw website I for some reason chcked the website and what do I find ... something to the effect that my website access has been disabled because the data transfer usage limit has exceeded ... Initially I felt a little bad because I had floated a lot of links on gnuradio mailing lists ... like my thesis and the video of my B.Tech Project. But then I realized that the limit was exceeded because so many people must have downloaded these files ... I am sure must have been in the order of hundreds to cross a 1 GB limit ....

the access was restored after about an hour but the happiness is still around me :)

please keep downloading and crossing the limit

Also I spoke to Mrawat after a long time ..... he was funny as usual and became elated when I said that I am Dee calling (he thought I have picked up the name after the movie) ....

Thanks lobby for this name :-D

After a long time

I was gone for a long time ... a lot of reasons .. I finished my course at IIT Guwahati and I was gone home for some time ... then I had an interview in Bombay for which I wasted the first half of my vacation :(

I got my degree on May 30th .. It was a nice ceremony ... Groys and Cadet made it to Telegraph ... My parents were there with me and were quite happy to see me get my degree ....

I have finally got my 1 GB internet from reliance and so I am back online without the fear of clock ticking ....

I have about a month before I get on with my new job and have big plans .... but the Delhi heat is beating them right away :)
