So we live in these times where technology is really advanced and all that hoopla…

But this guy, he was able to crack all that…
Did he use technology to counter that which already existed? yes, he did, if you call that technology that is,

he used a bicycle, coupled with two scoops of rage, he crossed one of the most heavily guarded borders in the world… from Pakistan to India. Hah…

Apart from this being outrageously hilarious, it also should give us perspective. These two people, are essentially the same people. Indians and Pakistanis, one and the same. Yet they’re willing to shed each other’s blood. A disgrace to mankind…

A friend from university, David He, has created a program that helps you manage and keep track of your grades.

So if you are looking for a program that keeps track of your marks and let’s you know how much you have to get in the next assignment to reach your goal, UTGRADE is for you.

Here’s the link :

reloaded…

I saw the movie on the opening day…

the first 30 minutes or so of the movie were horrible…

what came after was better…

the fight scenes were amazing, but at times prolonged…

I was somewhat disappointed right after the movie, confused if you will…

but now, 5 (give or take a few) days later I am starting to comprehend the reasons to why things were done they way they were done…

how can you top the first matrix movie? the answer is you simply can’t… but the matrix cannot be analyzed movie by movie… the true worth of the second movie will only be realized after viewing the third… and I bet we will see the first movie in a different light after the trilogy is complete…

my assesment therefore is that this was a good movie… and the trilogy will be one of the best hollywood has witnessed…

blogging tool…

I’ve created the backend database for it…

I have decided on the basic template tags…

I have an awful template design…

now I just need to code…

but I will be needing good templates in the future…

but that’s even if this program gets made and gets out there…

we’ll see…

mowing…

my first experience lawn mowing…

‘twas interesting to say the least…
it is tiring… but luckily my lawn mower has this accelerator so it propels itself forward…
but walking up and down the lawn over 50 times isn’t exactly an energizing experience…
but the weather was great… so I can’t complain…

on a more important note, I got my basketball net complete…
this will now make it difficult for me to do programming in the daytime when the weather is good…
how can I not go out and start shooting?
it’s only a few steps away… but I will have to get a new ball, this one is too old… more than 10 years old…

comments…

comments will be down for a few more days, my last exam is tommorow…

Those of you who are using commenting only, your accounts will not be affected. This is only for those who use the blogging and commenting.

🙂

EDIT —

comments are now functional, I found a little trick I had coded in for a situation like this. And I forgot to use that trick!
comments are working now…

yaay me…

blogging…

I know I don’t blog that often,
I haven’t been blogging about current events primarily because there are a million sources for current events.

I don’t blog about my personal life…
first of all I wouldn’t feel comfortable putting up my life on the internet (that’s just me). And second of all, I don’t think it would help anyone if I blogged about what I had for lunch.

I’m not one who walks around in real life thinking “oh I’m gonna blog about this”… not that there’s anything wrong with that.

however, I’ll try and put some of my anecdotes in the future…
