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 😛
Took a resolution that will never take up any more work in pragyan 🙁 .
i saw this post only now. udaan was put up on time, i think. Only junkyard wars was delayed due to our, er, my mistakes. TQ was because of that dasher. :p
Anyway it’s all over and we’re back to happier times. 🙂
