It is obvious that people would find life extremely difficult without computers, maybe even impossible. If they disappeared for just one day, would we be able to cope?
Be a part of one of the biggest global experiments ever to take place on the internet. The idea behind the experiment is to find out how many people can go without a computer for one whole day, and what will happen if we all participate!
Shutdown your computer on this day and find out! Can you survive for 24 hours without your computer?
International Shutdown Day

I voted for “I Can” , though i have no clue what i am gonna do on that day.

Hmmm , maybe sleep , spend time chaating with friends. I just hope i dont go mad after few hours without computers :P . Cha without computers no movies, no coding , no songs , no games , no browsing :( :(

I am planning to shutdown few servers under my control . Let us see how it goes :) :)

Was checking out the settings of google reader and found this quite interesting .

The next bookmark is an innovative way to read your subscriptions. It allows you to use Google Reader through just one link - clicking on it takes you to the next unread item, marking it as read in the process. It is particularly useful for subscriptions which only include snippets or when you want to read an article in context.

But when i clicked the tab i got a page saying
I myself dont believe in end of internet and the page was not the end of the internet , since that page still had a link to some other page . The links said it all
http://www.shibumi.org/eoti.htm

The contents of the page (for those who dont want to go to end of the internet )
The End of the Internet
Congratulations! This is the last page.
Thank you for visiting the End of the Internet. There are no more links.
You must now turn off your computer and go do something productive.
Go read a book, for pete’s sake.

If at all if someone gives me the right to scrap three events from pragyan i will surely opt for junkyard wars, technical quiz and udaaan . These three are actually very good events when you are a participant. But when if you are the one who is responsible for the quiz software for these events, that too with all three events starting one after another , surely you will go mad.

Everything started when i made a foolish decision to attend a delta meeting . The meeting is to discuss about delta induction. I was trying to make a quiz manager at that time ( inspired from manu’s quiz manager ) and thought i will do one for delta induction, which can be used for pragyan also . ( never realized this was such a big blunder ) . Somehow managed to changed few things in manu’s code and finished the delta inductions.

The whole headache started few days before pragyan . All three event manager contacted us few days before their events. Actually i was kind of shocked by what they asked me . One wants a timer while the other says i dont need a timer :( :( . Err what is your fscking problem if there is a timer :(.

The worst part i did not code a single line in the pragyan quiz manager :( . It is coded by one of my junior and i saw the code just 3 hrs before the event. Of course i went mad , called up my junior every now and then asking to explain about what the code actually does.

Finally junkyard wars started 4 hrs late , udaan 5 hrs late and tq some 14 hrs late :P

Took a resolution that will never take up any more work in pragyan :( .

Met a doctor for my sinus problem few days back. He said that a small surgery has to be done, but even before that he wanted to me to take an allergy test so that he can find what all things i am allergic too.

All he said was that they will do something to your hand . With my very little biology knowledge ( actually i managed to pass my 12th bio ), i assumed that they will test whether dust is allergic to me ( coz that’s the only allergic agent i could remember at that time ) . I assumed that they are gonna put some dust in my hand and somehow test whether i am allergic to that .

But the lady in the lab had different plans . She took 5 syringes . I was really sorry for the person who is gonna have those injected . I never liked injections , just because you know it is gonna pain and no way you can stop that :( .

That lady took a box which had around 50 small small bottles and asked me to show my hand. Now i realised that one of the injections among the 5 she had was for me . Ok i had no other option now . I cant run away from the lab saying i hate them . Anyway they looked small , so i was OK with them :)

34 bottles in the box she had were arranged properly as 8 , 8, 5, 5, 8 in each row . The rest of them were scattered . There was strange feeling that she is gonna inject them all to me , but thought she will mix everthing and give it in one single injection.

To my horror, she used the first syringe to inject medicines from the 8 bottles from the first row one by one . At the end of 8 injections ( within 45 seconds ) i thought it is going to be over and i can leave.

But no , she opened the next syringe and started with the next row. I was kind of shocked now and the slightest thought of all 5 syringes injected to me almost gave me an heart attack . But i thought no one will be cruel enough to do that and after the second row ( that makes 16 injections ) , she will let me go.

I almost fainted when she opened the third syringe. I stopped her and asked whether she is going to inject all these . She said “YES”.

Finally she was kind of enough to reduce the number of injections by 2 ( thank god i did not have dog in my house , so those test is not required it seems )

Within 3 minutes , 32 injections. That is really a record for me . Finally realised what an allergy test is ( my bio knowledge atleast improved ) . :(

Note :: It might be funny when you read this , but if you are gonna take an allergy test , certainly it wont be that much fun . So stop laughing and get back to work :-) .

As usual, was jobless at home with a new broadband connection , so chumma timepassing when i found this site

Seems a lots is still missing in the list :)

Sometime back, taggy showed me Google code search where one can search inside the source code.
And not surprisingly , the first thing he searched in source code was for “fsck” , “bitch”, and “porn” .
Actually both of us were not surprised with the results. Taggy infact went to the extent of creating a graph to compare the occurence of these words in the source code. :)

Seems the coders and getting more and more frust when there code does not work and they show all their frust in their source code . Maybe a grep for “fsck” will give more shocking results :P.

If you wann to see the stats of the occurence , check out taggy’s blog here

Some of the strange and nice things which i saw in the search were

1. sofia-sip-1.11.8/libsofia-sip-ua/su/sofia-sip/su_wait.h
88: #define SU_WAIT_CONNECT (FD_CONNECT)
#define SU_WAIT_ERR (0) /* fuck this shit */
#define SU_WAIT_HUP (FD_CLOSE)

2. linux-2.4.33.3/lib/vsprintf.c
8: /*

*/

3. CGI.pm-3.23/t/lib/Test/More.pm

my $ok = @_ == 3 ? ok(0, $name )

4. twisted/names/authority.py

5. includes/htmlarea/plugins/SpellChecker/spell-check-ui.js
36: }
// we should use innerHTML here, but IE6’s implementation fucks up the

$magicQuotes = ini_get(’magic_quotes_runtime’);

7. Guppi-0.40.3/src/libguppidata/guppi-data-tree.h

59: ($backend && $backend->isa(”Acme::Scurvy::Whoreson::BilgeRat::Backend::$params{language}”)) ||
die(”For fuck’s sake, the fucking backend’s fucked”);

48: die(”Read the fucking manual you shitwit and at least use the constructor right!”)
if(!$class || join(”, keys %params) !~ /^(language)?$/);

9. directory_administrator-1.4/src/main.c
48: // diradmin_user * fuck = NULL;
83: gtk_widget_show (mainwindow);

10. src/libstdc++-v3/testsuite/27_io/ofstream_members.cc
88: bool test = true;
const char* strlit01 = “fuck war”;
const char* strlit02 = “two less cars abstract riot crew, critical mass/SF”;

Ofcourse i cannot copy paste all the 32,600 search results here :)

So do i swear when i write code ??
Of course i do , even i am a programmer right. While testing the sms code for the spider server, it used to creash often. Though i found out that i have not read the mysql manual properly , this is the source code i wrote to find the error.

cout << "Mysql Connected Successfully\n ";
update_query = Query(”INSERT INTO hari_feedback VALUES (”,’a',’b',’c',’d',’e',’f')”);
cout << "INSERT INTO hari_feedback VALUES ('','a','b','c','d','e','f')";
cout << "Query Returned " << update_query << endl;
if (update_query == NULL ) {
cout << "Fuck\n";
}

mysql_affected_rows (&sqlHandle);
if (pid == -1)
{ cout << "Query Failed\n";}
else
{ cout << "Success\n";}

And ofcourse a ls in the /tmp folder in the nosip folder shows this

fileXo1MAJ
fucku.py
fucku.xml
fuckyouman.py

gcalc.py
gcalctool_log.xml

gcalctool_run.xml
gcalctooltemp_log.xml

Seems even i am fscked up sometimes when it comes to coding :P

Dont you find something strange with the edit buttons over there ????
