Information overload !!!
[info]pavithran
I can't bear it any more . I knew that survival is only by focussing but how could I focus when I am interested in everything ?


Right from web,web2,webscience,blogs,wikis,rdf,ontologies,network,peertopeer... everything is $LIFE for me :D

Anyways I can't and should be like that . I need to focus cause I need to survive!!

Touched a server
[info]pavithran
Yeah my blog is getting geeky .. so  " so called geek/nerd haters " shoo  :P

I was caled by the ECS helpdesk person to help him fit the server in the rack :)

We have to lift it and put it in the appropriate slot .
And We lifted the rather heavy server .. and tried putting it but on my side we kept it right but on his side we couldnt :(

He tried adjusting the slots via screw driver. 

Then we lifted it and I pulled the slot forward .. yeah pulled the slot :D and fixed on both sides while the poor guy had to bear the whole server weight :(

And we fixed it .. and the pleasure in finding that the move is required because a CSLIB VM is coming on :D

Now my blog is going to be more geeky so humans shoo ! 

CSLIB is a small society of geeks in ECS. We are going to have a virtual machine to try out distro we like ;)

soton's my city
[info]pavithran
Maybe yesterday I felt that .. I dunno but after 9 months in the city of southampton I felt how I was at ease with the city .. and I never felt the same in the south capital chennai .

The day started with me going to ASDA via my famous walk route .. and bought my grocies in a very fast fashion and took a bus and reached home . As I drank my milk and sat .. I got a mail saying that I have to collect a book at zepler reception  .

I went to Zepler reception took my copy of book and waited near the unilink interchange of the university . As I started reading the book while I waited for bus I saw 2 Indians near the interchange as usual they didn't even give a 2nd glance at me :(

As I was on the 1st floor I noticed a desi girl entering the bus .. I was waiting for the bus and hoped that she would come upstairs.. luckily she came .. and OMG it's none other than manasa the one and only one telugu girl in the university . She was panting as she had to run to catch U1C .

We talked a lot about stuff.  I got down at city centre where she went to catch the other free bus while I again crossed the road to  other side so that I could take my bus home ( LOL ..  find reasons )

As I waited for the bus at city centre reading my book .. the bus U2 came while U1 was supposed to come . I asked the U2 driver .. Time of departure. ( U2 has the notorious quality of waiting long times at city centre )
He told U1 will depart first . Then he asked if I belong to the university .. oh yeah I do .. he suggested me to use my feet LOL

I took back the U1 bus for home !

Wow I never explored the north east portion of common . Just amazingly wild ..

I was afraid at one point .. was expecting some animal to turn up but damn not an animal in sight . If it's india and same woods I would have seen 5-6 different types of  animals .


Today I walked beside thegreat building of Mountbatten .. man awesome the infrastructure could be seen from the glass windows .. Damn how could a electronic/ electrical student in this world miss to join ECS !! 

Amazing people & infrastructure .. made me proud and gave a reason to smile :)

ECS open days 4

Maybe a change is what all like so it's not chris who is giving the tour. It's Eric Cooke the senior tutor at School of Electronics and Computer science.

As a tutor his intro really sounded weird as he was mentioning more of course,academics and exams rather than the awesome geekiness which surrounds zepler .. bleh .. I would have hated it if I was in the listening place. I smiled at eric cooke and entered zepler.

Yes my geek watch has found a geek asking both the ECS help desk people questions on come fastes ** ( didnt hear clearly what ** is )

BTW chris left as he has got a meeting to attend . He told me that other student is just too awesome .. maybe since it's chris we could rank his geekiness to 98 or more . Chris wanted that guy to be selected in ECS ( poor guy has less grades ) As I say good thing accept him .. marks are not a primary way to judge a person .

If the web project manager is convinced of a potential student geekiness .. then he is more than qualified to enter ECS .

ECS open days 3

The third batch has long left but one enthusiastic student and a lady have left behind and are asking nice questions to chris and ECS help desk staff ( seriously I dunno his name .. the other one was toby ... hmm ) 

The questions are not dumb , well asked hence can confirm that he is geeky :D ( remember my previous post where I had a doubt on geekiness .. LOL )
