Blogging after a short gap. Well, these days things are going really fine. Looking out for upcoming projects. Submitted my paper for the paper presentation at arasu engineering college, Kumbakonam. Expecting a good result. Gave my speech in the inaugural of GLOSS, the open source community at SASTRA. The crowd was around 40, being very low. I am amazed to see such a poor response from first years. Dont know what the hell they do in their hostel, because when we where in our first year, whatever club is inaugurated, we would atleast go to the inaugural session of it. But this time the set is not that enthusiastic. But may be as time flies, they should come. Then every weekend, a midsemester exam. A bit tight packed schedule. And one more thing is, today we have the inaugural of SCANIT, our student association and I am being appointed as the Executive Member. Hope will have a nice time in the inaugural. will blog those proceedings soon, when I get a proper wifi in my hostel...

Just tried out my skill on a review...
Hi Everybody,
I am presenting a review on my laptop,Dell Vostro 1310. I would say that this thing is too good in a much compact size and lesser weight. To say exactly, this is cheaper than Dell Studio, but costlier than Dell Inspiron. Its exclusively ment for business use. Inspiron comes with different colours because of its plastic body. But VOSTRO comes in a metallic black colour only since its body is made of metal alloy. So its known for its durability and light weight.
Regarding the performance, its needless to explain, because its a product of dell.
Some of its exclusive advantages:
*Light weight and compactness
*Dell's free fall technology, which safegaurds the hard disk,even when the lappy falls from a height of 1metre.
*Dell's cool slice technology, which reduces the huge amount of heat from ur lappy
(I am sure that its better than compaq and HP in this case,because my room mates have them and we have compared them to a greater extent)
*Service assistance from Dell
*360 degree display
*The smoothest and highly responding touchpad I have ever seen
*Value for money
Some disadvantages:
*As every product has, VOSTRO 1310 has its own disadvantage. U know, ur ears must be sharper than the sharpest,if you are using it without any headphones or speakers. I bet that the FM radio from my nokia 1650 would sound better when compared to ma lappy. So inspite of its light weight, you have to keep on carrying a head phone with you. I find this as the only disadvantage with this product.
Generalia:
In general this is really good. I have a Dell Vostro 1310, which comes with 13.3 inch viewing size,2GB RAM, and a 250 GB hard disk. I had ordered it in august 2008 and the cost with tax was Rs40,040. I couldnt get any free goodies because I was provided with this in my college with loan support from CUB. It has an intel media accelerator card. I dont usually play games, but I have NFS MW running smoothly with this accelerator card. But i am not an expertise in these things and all, perhaps this would be the only latest game I know till date.
A bit of advice:
I rather hate advising, but still i thought that this would be useful to you. See,if you have decided to purchase a lappy, then just sit and think for a moment. Contact the people who are already owning that product, so that u get the plus and minus of that product. Also dont opt for higher configurations, without knowing your needs. I know a friend who has an Apple Imac for 1,30,000 using it now only as a DVD player. Such things are not necessary. You need a laptop for some 3 years or so. Because whatever configuration you purchase now,its value will get halved in not less than 6 months. So keep the story in mind and also make it a point to consult with people like me, because we have all sorts of laptops in our hostels, right from elcot to Apple MAC.
Concludingly:
Hope I have bored you too much. Regarding my Dell Vostro, i would rate it 4.5 on 5 point scale... Thanks for reading people.

The WIFI hunt
Hi Everybody,
Blogging after a short break. The Wifi system at SASTRA, faced a few difficulties in the recent days and so couldnt even check my mail frequently. But today with a grit, kept my alarm at 4 and woke up and now sitting before the internet. I am actually working on a paper presentation to be conducted at Arasu Engineering College, Kumbakonam. The paper is on the topic "wifi". Actually the concept of the conference to be held there is on wireless networking. So hoped that this topic would also match my interests and will also be very informative. And also, getting so busy these days, so feeling a bit tired. But the spirit of my determination has never gone done.

The JOOMLA Magic
Hi Everybody,
As a part of improving myself technically, I attended the GLOSS(The Opensourcing Club at SASTRA) session on JOOMLA yesterday. Our camus ambassador Dwarakanath handled the session. He did it in his own special way of teaching things. The crowd was decent such a way that the seminar hall was full. Was just amazed to see how JOOMLA and DRUPER had made the work of a web designer very very easy. Right from the creation of database to designing pages, everything is done by the software. Thanks to open sourcing, for we could just get everything of these free of cost under the GPL license. I was too happy that I had gained a lot from the session. And right from today morning I had read my text book on Microprocessor and Microcontrollers. Currently my staff is teaching the architecture of 8086. Not that interesting, but definitely better than the Engineering Drawing paper in the last semester. Nowadays I have started loving things I do and I am determined that I should do domething really "BIG"
