Phew!!!

Exams khattam! They were pretty decent, considering the extreme last minute studying that I indulged in this time.

The first thing I did after the last exam was go to Kapil's house and check email - 60 new. Not bad. My Primary Hard Disk's crashed, taking along with it my MP3 collection, all the apps I installed, and all my email and address book. So much for second hand stuff.

I'm contemplating now whether to go for a new HDD, or a new computer, lets say a 2GigHz, 512Mb? Hmm.

I've been drowning my guilt of not studying in the frustration of developing extensions for PHP. I'm beyond the "Hello World" stage, but I have a very, very, long way to go to do anything substantial.

In other news, Kapil just informed me that we recieved, processed and delivered 2 orders for AdSystem in the last 48 hours. yay!

We were short of time. The audience comprised the 8 member teaching staff of the Computer Science Dept. and students who were waiting for the prize distribution that was scheduled after the event. And there were exactly six teams that registered for the event who automatically qualified for the finals.

Even after all this, I would say the quiz was a success, if not a great one. I've done quizzes before, but this is the first time that I spoke properly, and didn't make any of those factual errors that lead to fights between the quizmaster and the participants after the quiz. The PHP script I wrote for the quiz(using DBX) worked without a hitch (yay!) and Kapil and Shantanu were perfect at the scores and computer. It was the first time I conducted a speed round in a quiz and I was surprised I didn't stutter or stammer!

Nidhi's India Today article on weblogging is now on the stands. Haven't seen it yet. Will do that tomorrow. She says:

I think i shld have added the blogsnob gang -- Arnab, Kapil and Jayesh. Sorry guys. :(

No problem Nidhi... Kapil, JayANT and I can wait. :P
