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
381: else {

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
// HTML to such extent that our poor Perl parser doesn’t understand it

6.HTTP/Request.php

$magicQuotes = ini_get(’magic_quotes_runtime’);

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

really fuck things up. */

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

fucku.xml
fuckyouman.py

gcalc.py

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

Check out this image :)

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

Hope the banner speaks the whole stuff. The spider sms is up and running .

When i started the work , thought the work will be easy and will be done in a two or three days but :-( so many seg faults ( though i have seen more seg faults in my ldtp work ) and handling mysql queries from C literally rapped me . :-( . The work took a long time more than i expected that i had to give the work to spider juniors also . Finally the work is done now . Hereafter we will have a few modifications here and there to make the system work better.

So how does the spider sms work . Hope the following explains everything

Well , now that spider sms server is working fine , ( with a few glitches here and there ) , one can access the time tables , his/her bunk scores and many other nice features using their mob ( for free of course ).

I am happy that i took up this work and finished it ( though is was manas’s idea ) . Had a good experience working with juniors . Had to make sure that they are happy with the work they do , that the work is being done , that they get to learn new stuff and of course that they feel that the work is fun etc etc . This is the first work in spider done as a team . All other work are individual efforts . Working in a spider team is as usual FUN .

Now no need to run to the bit room ( next roomie ) to find out the first class. I can as well use spider for this job ;-).

#define MAGIC “2acghilmoprs.@782C65173D5A1409B”
#define _(p,o,q) (t o#p[0])?(q)
#define __(p,o,q) _(p,o,t-q)
int main(){int t, i; for(i=17;i>0;i–)printf(”%c”, MAGIC[(((t=(MAGIC+14)[i-1])==’_')?62:_(.,==,63):_(@,==,64):__(a,>=,’a'+36):__(A,>=,’A'+10):(t-’0′))]);}

Well , this is something which i should have blogged the moment after we finished the demo to parag but that day i have been quite busy packing things , travelling from blore to chennai and then to trichy

The demo went fine , and all the details can be read from taggy’s blog. I am not going to write how the demo went , rather what i felt during that time.

Well , as usual i came late that day at around 11 , and taggy told me that parag already came twice asking for a demo .
All i could think Oh My GOD, what a start !!! :P
Then we called parag for the demo and he asked us to show compose mail with an attachement. Of course taggy was showing the demo and i was explaning . I never knew i had a demo phobia but after the “WONDERFUL” first demo , certainly i realised that i am bad (in fact too bad ) in demos.

To make things worse , parag edited the python file and made the file attachement choose a different file . All i was thinking is about varadhan’s warning about 200% ( he made a math mistake there , there is nothing like 200% :P) sure about the thing to work , threatened to throw us out of window if record did not work ( though he was not serious or was he? ) , and what not .

Somehow we recorded and had the script in front of us in the shell while discussing things with parag. I checked the script line by line and did a small playback in my mind. I was not able to do this and answer parag at the same time. Then parag asked us about the playback :O

Well it did take sometime for the log and and otherstuff , and since we had a time delay of 1 in our shell , things were a bit slow , it took some 5 seconds to open the compose box and i think i almost skipped my beat at that time :O. But the playback was perfect and parag mentioned that looked real neat :).

Then he asked us a few questions and gave us a few pointers to work upon :) . The same day we got a evolution jacket from parag and were working on improvements in the recording.

The old saying goes “All is well that ends well “. So a great demo , a nice jacket and above all , a working record script — certainly i cannot ask for more :)

Ask me one question
Will RECORD work perfectly ???
I will never say YES :)
The milestones in development of record are
=>Totally screwed up first demo .
=>Blasting review by varadhan after the first demo :( where we had no answer for any of his questions :(
=>Partial output in the next demo .

And finally there is one soul which says record is working fine and in fact mentioned that it is a great job :P

“”" nags, sp2hari, taggy: till now, the record works very perfect! what a great job! “”"

I still think lavi is lying :)

We have no clue how it worked .
We were expecting a lot of feedback like this :P
1. Hey it gave a seg fault
2. My comp hanged , i had to reboot again
3. I had to kill at-spi-registry (varadhan wont accept this i suppose ) to stop recording
4. Hey i got a empty python file ,
and lots and lots

All the above things happened when we showed a demo to Dr. Harinath . Surely that might have been one of the worst demo in NOVELL history :P

But varadhan said a first demo is always likely to fail and asked us to make lots of changes within two days .

Second demo went fine with no major issues . except for the compose message :( .

We know where the bugs are in the current record script . Luckily lavi did not notice them now i think .
I am sure soon he will file a bug against the recording :) .

Ok hope this is enough for now . Have to get ready for the bugs :P. Got to check it in ubuntu :)
Here taggy is asking me how record worked fine ??? . He is pretty sure that it will fail and he is surprised to see the record work fine :P

Type about:mozilla in your url bar.

Your will see this

And so at last the beast fell and the unbelievers rejoiced.But all was not lost, for from the ash rose a great bird. The bird gazed down upon the unbelievers and cast fire and thunder upon them. For the beast had been reborn with its strength renewed, and the followers of Mammon cowered in horror.

from The Book of Mozilla, 7:15

Dont know why but i liked this one.It symbolises many things in life and it all depends how you interpret it :).

Now dont think i am talking about the funda about the life blah blah blah …….
I was just mentioning about how firefox has conquered ( yes it has ) IE .
IE is one of the worst products from windows . As such windows sucks but IE is worse :).

Tomm have sem pracs so will see later . Bye Bye
