The poster contains imported images background, cis logo, the gnu head and the svg of background hand writing. The size is to big and referred to all directions, I don’t know how to upload the source. For the logo of FSUG, I modified the GNU head sticker available on the sticker book (the background was red) and rotated to anti clock wise.

Yesterday, just before entering the campus, I had a pact with Tamilnadu Roadways by having a small accident. It was also from amachu who coordinated all the thing here, from my tickets to food. At night me and he had to watch the film “dham dhoom“, which is really horrible and the lack of a Jeeva, who died in an accident while the shooting is specifically seen over the film – infact what he directed and what others did can be simple understood over watching the film. Any way having a film from Chennai, the city of film was an experience in many way

Back to the font designing – the team here has done something over by now which includes making up of a mailing list, a group in lauchpad (all those ubuntu guys are always with that stupid thing!) and planning to register at savannah. Well, All the Best and Thanks for all!

Note : This is for the first time I am writing a blog over projector!!

I cannot be there, as I have certain other functions here and due to financial crisis. So here is a small work from my side. A button (in fact a poster!) for the promotion of this event which will look like the image below.

The talk was schedule for 11PM and started at bit moment before noon. The slides where same as old just with some of my font screen shot. A new slide was introduced – ” I am a film addict – if you have some good films, give me right NOW!” just for the fun of it. The session was a long, in fact the longest that I had done on font designing, about 100+ minutes. The number of students where less compared to old talks and was quite when compared to total participants for the mukt. Some guys came in the last odd minutes and told that the lunch was ready, making the session to have a sudden death. That was really an experience! Any way it happened!

Half hour with complete strangers. I was completely lost. The sky was ready to shower a rain, and breeze where working as catalyst for the rain. I walked to the left side a bit – and I saw some faces that I could recognize – Rajnikanth and Nayanthara! Actually, seeing the poster of film was a great relief for me. It was a talkies named Prasanth, where Kathanayakudu the remake of Kadaparayumbol was released. By the time Jayamama reached there and picked me to his house.

The rain welcomed me to his home. It was my first trip to there. In fact none from our home had went there. The home was lovely and had a great food, thoughts and jokes. The was great. The wonderful food made me to sleep as i reached the bed and the sleep continued for upto 12 hours. Just reached the mukt.in for the day2. I need to make some modification in slide! Wait for more.

Note : I had got camera from Roshiba, but till this moment it was not working – as I put the battery in inverted

This time for the fifth semester, we labs are two – hardware and programming paradigms. Hardware contains simple MASM works and some interfacing and PP had C++, Java and LISP. It was PP on Monday and MASM on Tuesday.

It was on Sunday evening I started to work along with Java, and after a couple of hours hardwork to make do the basic programs (helloworld, factorial, inheritance, quicksort) I came to understand a fact, its not my cup of tea. One among us Java or myself is stupid. I was conviced on that theory and came to conclude by making myself stupid. For the first time I saluted three persons Praveen the Javaman, Rakesh my neighbour who works with Sun and my own sister who tells Java as something cool, funny and great. They are genius!

Being a computer specialist in others veiw, I had some calls by night asking doubts over clisp. As to answer the question installed clisp . The first program I took was quicksort and I tried to play with it for an hour and more, keeping both my speakers and mouth shut. It was awesome and result was negative. On 11PM I again started with lisp, I was able to get the concept after moving through the notes provided by pramode sir. Within 10 minutes I was able to see the output of helloworld, quicksort,gcd and lcm. It was great. I become so mad over the thing – keeping myself engaged over the lisp for next 3 hours!

I wake up at early morning by 9.30AM and had exam at 11. The question was to find least common ancestor using JAVA. Making an algorithm that does not work is a simple task for me. I did it and acquired the externals signature for further proceedings. Within 10 minutes, I was able to make my hello world work. Its the fastest ever time I took to write and run helloworld.java and as the time moved, I was able to make a workable algorithm, with could do the work it is supposed to. I got the output and for the first time I started to feel that java is good for me.

The evening I spent completely with java and lisp. I started loving lisp than any other things in the world. The hardware lab is something always bad for me. It runs on windows, creepy MASM and I always bunk the lab. As I am not having windows over the lappy I was not able to do a trial and what I could was understanding the code. The lab started at 11AM and by the time I did some things over lisp and java and some in fontforge. The MASM question was luckily simple, to find factorial and I did in the same way what I had learned. The commands where not by heart to me, but the procedure was more or less by heart. With in a quarter hour I obtained the output, and showed to external. A small error was found and he requested me to correct that – to make 0 factorial 1. Its simple I started with a smile in face and an algorithm in mind.

It was not simple as I expected and within a minute I confirmed my failure. I can’t do the thing. The experiments the computing and the energy what I got from the free software community made me to work again, to think again. I was not ready to repeat the lab – I need to work over the windows machine again. After some simple thoughts and applying the concepts exactly what I had in my mind, I was able to obtain the output, making an excitement. My romance with the programming is now at its height, what I had never so far.

It’s not syntax that rules the computing, its merely the logic and algorithm!
