:-: Mixed Bag :-:

So I have been posting cartoons from gapingvoid (this post too), images of nVIDIA 8800 GTX, a few youtube videos etc, hence I thought I will write something. So lately its been a busy life although not so busy not to blog (its never too busy to blog) but still.

So after I finished “The Rule of Four” I found one of many books I was looking for for a long time now, “Kane & Abel” is supposed to be a really good book and luckily I got my hands on it unlike LOTR-1 which is always missing from library and I end up looking at part 2 and 3. So no doubt the book will be awesome its a masterpiece from Jeffrey Archer although my style of reading (couple of pages before I go to bed or half the book on a holiday) is really making it tough for me to remember the story.

So for last 6 days I have been banging my head into that tineee tinyyy OpenGL Specification Documentation and trying to do some miracles with “Shader Model 4.0 / nVIDIA 8800 GTX / OpenGL 2.1 / GLSL 1.2 / X-( ” Although it was not that hard to get the first Geometry Shader Example getting to work but now its getting harder, the Layered Rendering and Transform Feedback Stuff !! :O. I always thought that people who can code when only provided with raw documentation of EXTs and ARBs are real Geeks and with SM 4.0 I had to turn into one. Its really painful to extract information out of those confusing EXT specifications ( knowing its all there ) I mean ultimately all the examples and all the great looking demos don’t carry anything new but the features and functions mentioned in those specification docs. Anyways so coming to what I am doing lately, its really cool to born in the era of Computer Graphics aka GPU aka SM 4.0.
For Geeks :: Let there be more Triangles. For Others :: It rocks !!

I found this today in my feeds from gapingvoid its nice

Today is Sud’s Bday and yesterday it was Balllu’s. Many many happy returns to both of them. Spam is doing real good job of keeping us all(UG2k2) in touch.

A bunch of Status Msgs I used over time.

Its all in the head, even the stupidity !!

Never make a decision too strong, You will have to change it eventually !!

The world is round, had it not been that way, I would have lived on the Edge !!

~~ nVIDIA 8800 GTX ~~

I enjoy working in a field which is as dynamic as the topics in spam mails of UG2k2 !!

A couple of days back we got a 8800GTX in CVIT and the rest is unspoken due to varied reasons.

Its Super Awesome !!

Here is a card a generation younger to 8800, nVIDIA 7950 and look at the size :O

but since you mite not know how big 7950 itself  is/was (@IV et. al. ) check this out

Have fun,

oops we will have more fun !!

adios
skp

Best Stop Motion Animation !!

… its awesome !!

but me and shiben are going to top it some day.

skp

OutBurst !!

Once again after being off the track from my schedule, I want to be back, I want to write everything about every single day. I have been off my schedule so many times that sometimes I feel I have never had any !!

Anyway so at Large ::

I finished reading The Rule of Four ::

Nice/Ok Book 3.5/5, Hypnerotomachia is the book which changes the life of four friends. I have a lot of idea now, how Princeton campus is/was. I get bored in the parts of book (other books also) when they try to convey how heroic fight or how dangerous circumstances build up like a fire or so on … You can’t do it, u book, stick to drama that’s what is conveyed the best, Hence the next book I am picking is the one I was looking for a long time Kane and Abel. Archer’s Stuff !!

I got a mysterious Knee Injury ::

Yeah It happened again. What ? Getting an injury right before a match I really wanted to play. So basically I go up in AIR and when I come back down which lasted not more than Nanoseconds I end up having this Knee crap. So what I learn is To Air is not human. I really dont know whats the state and the doctor was at a next level of mystery, he thinks this is an old injury just coming to life with this incident and hence that was his explaination for NO PAIN. I will tell you what I feel, Fcuk IIIT basketball Court, just in case you missed my feelings attached with that phrase here you go, FCUK IIIT BASKETBALL COURT. Huh, so what am I gonna do now, I will start going for Jogs in the evening, and start playing after a couple of months, nothing before that. I am trying to find some alternatives to Basketball, Why ?

1. I dont like staying at the place I have been sitting whole day, from 5-8 in evening, unless it is urgent enough.
2. I want to find some new “stuff/hobbies” before life becomes all, Job et. al. Not because of the old myth “Job Sucks” but because then I can do this stuff from 5-8 in the evenings . One thing for sure, for next couple of months I am gonna blog a lot , yeah try to believe me, I know its hard but try harder. So it will be a lot of activities sitting down or in SlowMotion.

Placements are here ::

During the time my batch had placements I was not at all serious as in that I will face it when it comes or rather as it comes. This year I have this wierd feeling that I can’t visualize myself, PLACED. I dont know but I can visualize anything from hitting a buzzer beater in a basketball game ( which I can’t because of, yeah u are rite, FUCKIN IIIT BASKETBALL COURT ) to skateboarding and stuff, but this placement thing looks like I can never go past this … neways so the thing is, I know this was the last November when I was not doing anything or rather not doing nething important. By Next December I need a job so may be I will have to work on that part next year ( yeah this goes into new year resolutions but one that will be considered seriously ).

adios
