Evanescent Thoughts

Diwali Celebrations

Posted in Ha Ha Ha, computers, mokkai by Sathya Narayanan on October 27, 2008

I got this idea this morning after speaking to my cousin who lives in US.It so happens tht, we in india burst lots of crackers ,create a hell lot of explosive sound and u knw call ourselves a peace loving nation . My uncle called me up from singapore and told me too tht  they get only those small sparkel sticks , even with a large tamil population over there.. Ok so here is my writeup on how diff ppl would plan to celebrate diwali with their idea of bursting crackers :P

A Physicist : Create a sub-atomic collision and make a chain fission reaction to go BBOOOOOOMMM !!!( may be the LHC guys were planning to do this .. I heard there were a lot of indian scientist involved in tht prooject)

A Chemist : Create a vaccum chamber and do pyrolysis on a organic fuel and collect the combustible hydrogen over water and through a pin hole ignition create a effect of Lakshmi Vedi ….

Mathematician : This one is difficult .. He theoretically creates a fallacy bomb and proves tht it did create an explosion .

Pakistani : No comments.. i dont think i have to explain this :P .. May be u wil find all the details in newspaper tomoro..

NASA guy : Send an unmanned mission to the removed planet pluto and put a Oosi Vedi over there and send a rover in the next rocket to light it up after 9 years( i heard it takes 9 yrs to reach pluto from here..:P )

George Bush : No he doesnt burst crackers .. he accuses others of (mostly u knw some afghan or pakistani guy )

Tom the Cat : Light the big bomb with a match box..throw the match box and keep the bomb back safely in his pocket. :)

Algorithmist : Take a super exponential algorithm and run it on a 8085 Processor .. I pity the processor .. its obviously gonna get overburnt

ECE Guy : Probably team up with the algorthmist and make the 8085 processor interface with an 8279 for typing out the hex code of the algo ..

Yeah so i am wrapping it up with the

Comp Sci Guy : write a shell script to ssh to all comps in the network and do a bomb fork :P ( in windows u can do it just by pressing Win+E for a couple of seconds .. imported bomb for special occasions :P )

Any one who wants to try out my new fork bomb mail me.. Cost : Just 5 characters :P

Weird Things

Posted in Ha Ha Ha, general by Sathya Narayanan on October 22, 2008

Off late lots of wierd things have cropped up in my mind and i am going public about it :P … So tht was a statuatory warning for ppl who think i am perfectly stable (So back off it u wanna carry on tht thought in ur mind :P )

I have found lots of things which contradict themselves.Like the truth of the statement implies tht the statment is wrong.. So it eventually becomes both true and false.. ( yeah i think of only predicate logic and not propositional logic)and i spend most of the time thinking on whether i am right or wrong.One more thing tht i found interesting in the application of Heisenberg’s Uncertainity Principle to the process of thinking on wht u r currently thinking.. When u think on wht u think , the thought changes wht u are currently thinking and hence i came to the conslusion tht u can never determine wht u r currently thinkin.. (thoughts are electrons around our head… who said butterflies were :P ) .So we dunno wht we are currently thinking on…so whts the point in thinking.. ( tht was a bad joke :P ). Anyways the point is Cycle tests can push one to the end of wierdness :P . If u think thts it.. there are more things to come.. bt i seriously consider the sanity of the reader and wish to stop my blabberings.. :P

PS : one more wierd decision i took was to switch from fedora to ubuntu once iterpid ibex comes out( i seriously dunno why i made this decision :) )

Kodai Trip :)

Posted in College life, general by Sathya Narayanan on October 5, 2008

I had a great week end, with the Comp Sci third yrs going to Kodaikanal for the class trip. It was great fun . Two days i kept all my other things out of my mind(shaastra OPC) and was just lost in somewhere.I still wanna go back there and shout in silence. We were all so thrilled and got into lots of games. Especially the mafia and ping pong.And seriously i like ping pong very much though ppl say its too silly.. Thanks to himshika i was saved being the donkey whn i was really close to becoming one. And the other way around girls liked the mafia so much they really got into playing it in the roof of the bus on the last day of our trip.Ok so the few imp things tht happend during the two days..

1.Shriram coining the word salaivani for kalaivani :P

2.Siva & Dhadi losing around thousand bucks to deva playing poker.

3. Venki missing the gun shots

4.Me  magically in most of the pics taken during the trip :)

5. The trekking to the unknown place which finally ended up being more threatening than the actual suicide point tht toshi got shivers..

6.Salaivani saving kartik during the cycle ride around the lake :P

7.Archit, me and kartik spent the two days without any sweater .

8.The sad disappointment at the guna caves (supposed to be entrance)

9. Playin mafia with evrybody in almost all the possible  .

10.The ping pong tragedy whn i chose to utter the name “ak” whn ever i was supposed to say “ping”

Yeah i can keep on listing the happenings..memorable ones…and u knw, u realise tht moments always pass whn u think of such things.
