Madras University Computer Science Department

September 11th, 2008

Madras university computer science department is one of the most sophisticated departments in University of Madras, chepauk campus. It has very good infrastructure with latest computers and facilities for students to avail. The department has a separate library which could be used by students to lend books for their examinations or use other reference books. All the credit goes to the Head of the Department Mr.Thangavel Who is an M.Tech, PhD. We have the most wonderful and the very good seniors and Super seniors. The Department which provides M.C.A with 5 credits(While other Universities like Anna University provides M.C.A with only 4 credits),So i’m totally happy with what i’m doing right now. I have always developed hatred towards Anna University unknowingly(Thanks to Marc for that). The think we’ll get some of the broken chairs fixed sooner. Other than that everything in the university seems fine to me. The timetable for the first year students are properly planned and there is almost no fuzz about anything there. I like the way it is in The Madras university since there is no spoon feeding there, and i think that is the first sign where we realize that it is a University and not the colleges who care for pushing students to get the desired results.

The lost data

August 8th, 2008

I have been backing up so many things in my hard disk that i literally don’t know whats in it right now. It is all filled up with lots and lots of excel, word, etc., and other c programs, C++ programs, Java Programs, COBOL programs, and other text files i created temporarily. Its always been chaos, and it is really tough to find one single file when i really need it. Then came the day when i used the live search option from vista and a bit of renaming things helped me a lot. I know it would take at least 3 days to sort things in my disk. I’m planning to buy a 360 GB hard disk so that i could sort things and then i’d sell the previous hard disks. (Till then Marc, don’t even think of deleting things from my computer without my presence.)

The Tv - Combo box

August 1st, 2008

I bought a TV combo box for my 19′ LCD Wide. I kept it inside the cupboard for a long time since i had no cable connection that reached my room. Later, i managed to get some money and i made the electrician do the job while he came for another one. Then came the time to connect it finally. I took me two minutes to connect all the cables and things, then when i switched it on, i was shocked. All the menu was in Chinese(I was wondering why was a Zebronics product would prioritize Chinese as the preferred language?), with much difficulty i changed the language to English. I started to tune for channels. The tuning was going on and on, by then i had gone to Adyar and i was back. I was expecting some good results but i was wrong. I realized that it was an investment which was unnecessary. I think i have to be stuck with computers till i get a Dish connection.

What Is CESQ - madras univ results 2008 ?

July 12th, 2008

Madras University have published their results this July 2008 (this year).
Links : Results www.results.webdunia.com

My 6th SEM results included a new CODE: CESQ , I was wondering what would be this code for?
Then i asked a few guys of my Class, and then a few seniors who passed out. No one had idea about it. Later i called up my Department HOD, and then she clearly explained what it was.

“CESQ” = “Compulsory Extension Services Qualification”

CESQ is the credit awarded to us based on our activities in N.S.S , Sports , N.C.C etc.

The Maximum Mark is 3, while the 2 is supposed to be excellent since most people are awarded with this and finally 1, the minimum. And 0 will be considered “FAIL”.

Leave a comment if this website was the first to give u this information.

Bajaj Finance at its Worst, believe me.

July 9th, 2008

I was forced to quit riding the Good old scooter and buy a CT100. We opted for BAJAJ Finance thinking that they would be better since its their own Financing service, But we were totally wrong. This all started when the BAJAJ Finance had to shift from their previous location at Mount Road to a Crappy place nearby. They did not inform us anything., and when the ECS bounced {Since we didn’t operate a specific bank because my dad took a Voluntary Retirement} they simply would call us and collect the cash every month. I thought see thats a good service from BAJAJ, But it all was wrong when they charged me 2500 Rs. for the bouncing of 8 ECS clearances. But it was not my mistake while i asked the person wat was the procedure to change the bank details? and then the contact number in the reciept was all wrong.
Dad got pissed off and then he paid all the rest of the EMI as DD and then settled the damn EMI thing. BAJAJ Services SUCK big TIME dude. So don’t buy BAJAJ Products.

Dasavatharam Review

What happened to my Old PC ?

June 2nd, 2008

My Old PC AMD 2800+, the only one which i got selling off my Pentium 4 (1.7 Ghz) without my Parents knowledge long back, which is going to be used for only typing text and printing bills for my Computer Illiterate Dad who wants it since he got me a new one. I don’t mind giving it but it is still a better PC.
Its config:

17″ SAMSUNG CRT monitor
AMD 2800+ Processor
ASUS k8s-mx Motherboard
1 GB RAM DDR1
80 GB HDD (WESTERN DIGITAL)
SOUND BLASTER LIVE Audio Card.
LG -DVD RAM DRIVE

I feel pity for my old computer since it is still working fine. It would be literally switched off all the time except for a few hours per day. My Dad had challenged me that he would beat me in the computer knowledge and one day he would Master the subject. (Lets See). I don’t Under-estimate his skills because he holds 4 MASTER degree and he will finish another one if he submits his thesis. Now he wants to apply for Ph.d . No one can talk and convince my dad that he sets his foot on. He carefully thinks and analyzes the situation and then asks the people around and comes up with a scientific solution.

My New Computer

June 1st, 2008

I told my Dad that i needed an upgrade for my PC. I asked him 5000 Rs. for an entry level graphic card to play games, but it turned out that i had bought a new computer itself. The total budget crossed 30,000 Rs. All this happened in no time since i clearly listed all the things i needed before buying.

CONFIGURATION:
19″ LCD SAMSUNG SyncMaster 943nwx
Intel Core2Duo 2.4Ghz E4600
Intel DG31PR ORIG Motherboard
2 GB DDR2 {SINGLE STICK}
160 GB x 2 HDD{SATA HDD}
ASUS DVD-RAM DRIVE wtih Lightscribe Technology
ATI RADEON HD 3650
MICROSOFT Wireless Keyboard and Mouse
And i use my old speakers(It still ROCKS {Creative 2.1 2400 WATTS})

And By the way Marc funded me for the Graphic card, a special thanks to him. I wanted to buy an external HDD for Rs 2000. But i’ll do it once i get some money flowing after i give Marc his money back. I think it will take two months to do so. Mean while i find my internet to be slow, I have to call the customer care again to check with it.

Marc’s Fracture

May 1st, 2008

Ha ha ! Marc has fractured his toe while trying to copy my style of rash driving. It’s very surprising to know he can hurt himself.. You should see him drive his car. He almost killed an old woman who was just walking on the street. And now Marc will say it is a “technique fault” because that was car and this was a bike. He just refuses to accept i am a better driver. Anyone who tries to drive like me, i warn you.. without my supervision and training, it is very dangerous for you and any old ladies.

This is what will happen… beware !
