linux has tux pixar has luxo GNU has a gnome exun should have something too!!! i mean, i think its a cool idea to have a little exun mascot , doesnt has to be something real .. could be anything, uhmm.. nice! i stumbled upon the idea while collecting some fonts from urlLink www.1001fonts.com the font is called creatures , though it has been discussed earlier in my batch with the very obvious conclusion that exun mascot HAS to be a panda...*ahem* anyways coming back to the font, it has a collection of cartoon-type-little-critters for every alphabet...kinda cute..maybe we could have one of em ... otherwise there's always the mystical legendary drooling panda ;-)

Ah! The final battle. Competition was fierce and we even got our first female participant for Unreal Tournament. Where there is a battle, there is a victor and this victor scored exactly 100 frags in 20 minutes (with only 18 deaths): Arnab Deb (XII-I) This is me, signing off from Domain Square... forever. --Karan

The competition took place on 2nd August 2004 and 27 people took part. The winner, with any ado, was: urlLink Varun Vasudevan (X-B) Since Gursartaj has already detailed on the topic, I shall say not much. There were two Preliminary Rounds and one Final Round. A few Class X Exun Members also took part, but they weren't much good at gaming, to be honest. Hence the need for these competitions. --Karan

We participated in only three events out of a total of five as we neither had a participant for Group Discussion nor a software to submit for software Display. The events which we did participate in were Gaming, Web Designing and Senior Programming. Souvik could not make through the qualifiers of the Gaming event due to keyboard problems. The game was Unreal Tournament and the frag limit was just 10. Vansh and Rasagya were declared third in the Web Designing event. Swati and myself won the Senior Programming. We did not think we could have won the programming event as the last (fourth) question we had to do was to make an analog clock with the hour, minute and seconds hand. The clock had to work i.e. show the time. Neither of us (me and Swati) had any idea about graphics in C++, but with the C++ help file we were able to make a pretty nice clock which worked! As we were the only ones who had got all the questions right, we won. I don't think there was a trophy for the overall winning school.

The Sleeping President has Specially woken up to give you this news... Get Up you Morons!!!! iPod Mini Has Been Launched in India. Price : Rs 21000 approx. The 4th generation iPods cost about 23k and 27k respectively. The site is not updated so dont bother going there. So who is going to buy one and lend it to me ? Project Billboard is still alive but due to some really ineffecient senior programmers(seems they are following my example) , the project is stalled... All those who have any knowledge of ASP.. Contact me . You might just be a part of one of the most successful ventures of Exun after Exun (The Event) and DomainSquare Zzzzzzzzz....

Hello Fellow exunites. this is an unofficial post on Domain Square-2nd aug I do not know who the winner was. I dont even know who cleared the first round. But i have found out that we have a new computer teacher, Mr. Ankit Wadhwa. well i shall tell u how. well u see that we had the domain square competition for class 10 today and who wouldn't like to fire a few rounds? so we had this extremely irritating guy, who is also in my class, wanting to play games. He asks Ankit, the one who hath the 6600, if he can play or not and Ankit allows. We received certain complaints that somebody is playing without registering, looking into the matter we found out that it was that same person. On being interrogated he replies that he has asked the teacher. WHICH TEACHER???????? answer: Mr. Ankit Wadhwa, who was happily chatting on his phone a few minutes later. I hope Karan posts an official entry on Domain Square thank you

Did you know that Intel EEs(Extreme Edition) are based on the Galatin core , that is,they are Xeons in the disguise of P4s. Also,they have 2mb l3 cache,512kb l2 cache , so that accounts to 2.5mb cache(we all know that intel cpus don't have much l1 cache,so that is neglible). Amd officially announced that the prices of the amd athlon xp will be raised from 10-30% depending upon the model and the prices of the amd 64 to go down by the same , globally.

OK, rescheduling again, this time because of dear old urlLink TechEdge . So, we have two tentative dates now, which are Thursday the 5th and Friday the 6th (same time : 1.30pm) . I would like comments from the people who want to attend so that we can decide on the most favourable date. A recap for those who haven't read about urlLink Sessions@Exun or more specifically urlLink PHP . The idea of Sessions@Exun was conceived so that interested people may learn a specific skill in computers from people who have already learnt that skill and are experienced in it. This helps because reading big, fat books is tedious and sometimes if the book is technical, then confusing as well. Teachers are always better than books anyway. More specifically PHP ( P HP: H ypertext P reprocessor) is an HTML-embedded scripting language, which means that it is used for serving dynamic content on web pages, just like ASP. The only difference (usage-wise) between ASP and PHP is that ASP is a Microsoft product and needs a Windows Server to run on while PHP is Open Source and can run on any OS. And since Linux is being more widely deployed these days, it makes more sense to learn PHP if you're doing Server-Side Scripting. I am told that PHP is tougher than ASP, but since I have no knowledge of PHP (I'm counting on this Session myself), I can't say anything about that. About Mukul : Many people have asked me who Mukul is, so let me introduce him. Mukul is an Exun alumnus, currently studying at Iowa State University (US). He is here in Delhi for his summer break and has found time to give us an introduction to PHP, which he says is his mother tongue. Please comment away people. We want to know who's coming and what day is more favourable - Thursday or Friday. --Karan PS: Any student of DPS RK Puram can attend, not just Exun members.

My first post, on 9/11 of all days. My previous record for keeping any sort of record of my life lasted a few weeks at most, the latter half of entries rambling on about 'not having done anything'. I now see the error of my ways, as by simply including things like 'Had 2 dumps today' or 'saw Sabrina the Teenage Witch, became aroused', I could easily fill up a blog. Also, I have hit upon the idea of blogging out things that didn't happen, since it's not like all this is of significance anywhere. Right, best go do something :) I wanna dress as a pirate, a camp one at that.

Whilst looking adoringly at my blog, I couldn't help but notice that those lovely chaps at google were advertising 'pest control' on the ad above my blog. Clearly they wish to destroy all wasps and thus my livelihood. And they said I was mad when I suggested Google was run by a sinister gang of bee loving scientists...

Work is boring. Finding it hard to motivate myself to write a literature review on Polistes wasps. It'd probably only take me a few days to expand on my previous review, but I still would rather look at pseudo-pornographic pictures of meat on the net than actually do it. My wasps are still alive (well, one nest of them anyway) and the parasites still kick ass. But not much I can do with them other than feed and water them. Suppose I could release them into the air conditioning vents, bwahahaha. Gonna hit the showers early today, read up on St. Petersburg so I'm prepared for when I go next week :) Geoff Capes.

Having read some other blogs, I feel safe in the knowledge that no matter how boring I make this, I'll still be in good company. I've already seen what basically, after 1 month of reasonable blogging, amounts to a 'breakfast blog' i.e. 'Today I had *2* slices of toast and some honey, it was nice'. Clearly in the top trumps world of blogging, a log of arousal beats breakfast hands down. I have been tempted to use the 'p.s. I am w**king as I write this' signature in tribute of the wonderful TMWRNJ, but i don't think anyone would get it.

...but now is the time for a quick blog... George Best gets a new liver and *still* binges on booze. What a twat! He might claim that alcoholism is a disease, but the stupid motherfucker should be getting treatment for it then, and not poisoning a liver which could have been used to give someone else a few more years. In my opinion he's an arsehole and no matter how well he once played football he'll remain one until he finally acts responsibly. It just pisses me off so much that he could do something so pathetic.

A lot of people have shown disgust at Johnny taking part in something so commercial, some accuse him of 'selling out' the punk ideal. I don't agree. The punk questions what is being sold to it, tries to see the true intent behind the news fed to it. It is cynical, often overly so. But at its heart there is an overwhelming love of humanity, and an acceptance of its flaws. It is the exploitation of these flaws that punk rages against so much. One of the first things that the media zoomed in on with punk was this rage, as it was both exciting (and hence drew in the viewers) and dangerous. What it rarely did was show the human side of punk, something which I think John Lydon is doing now. He is on a primetime show and is acting the most sensibly and entertainingly of all the 'celebs'. People who have previously written him off as some mindless violent thug who just shouts instead of singing etc. will now have to challenge this view. If they can identify with him then perhaps they might re-evaluate punk as well. This can't be a bad thing. Song of the day:- Human Punk by Miss Black America

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3936463.stm Pesticide levels 'high in fruit'. In accordance with EU directives, previously labelled 'Fruit, high in pesticides' have been renamed to indicate their main ingredient. Of course, I'm probably being a proto-pedant and misreading it. IT probably means that there's so much synthetic chemical matter being sprayed onto fruit nowadays that one can obtain a 'high' from it should one wish to go out licking the Marks and Waitescoburys fruit section.

http://www.nme.com/news/109251.htm The BPI continue their crusade against 'music piracy' with this further piece of evidence that online file swapping is robbing the artists, raping their wives and children and then burning down their villages. Oh no! Music sales have only increased by 2.1% in the past year! Oh no, they're at the highest they've been for ages! But wait a minute....this is for *album* sales... And bugger me if online sales of music mean that people are more likely to buy certain tracks and not albums, thus skewing the data accordingly as people buy *more* music but *less* albums. The BPI are acting hysterically over something which probably promotes music much more effectively than advertising ever did. Hype is generated by filesharers about albums that are genuinely good, and this no doubt leads many sharers to buy the albums, and also influence their friends into doing so. The only reason for the BPI to be worried is if it were linked to advertisers, promoters and other people who don't figure in the artistic process of making music, but do like a nice fat slice of the cash generated by it. Bugger me if that's exactly what they are. I predict the next claim will be on the lines of 'CD piracy causes global warming' or 'Pope killed by counterfeit Steps cd'

Saw the 'Spree' last night, was mightily impressed with their new multicoloured robe setup. The songs from the new album were nicely done, carrying over themes from the last one to great effect. I think the new songs are more solid and structured, relying less on repetition yet still giving the impression that the Scientologists have somehow subverted pop in an effort to indoctrinate the young and impressionable. After seeing them, I got thinking. Just how many of the new bands coming out have resorted to having 30 odd members? Has it always been this way? Was there a 'Take That' Crew that spawned the well known and revered boy band? I did a search on google, but after removal of the usual 'the, is , of' etc. it came up with a search for 'Music Bands Large Members' and a whole deluge of Motley Crue websites, as well as sites devoted to the 'Big Band' movement. It's so intriguing that I'm going to track down one of those music enyclopedias and find out who is/was the band with the largest number of active members live on stage (thus ruling out any Live Aid collaboration). Finally, a use for the blog!

I was hoping this would still be up. Check out Dr Miriam Stoppard's advice to a girl worried about the size of her boy's appendage...I think she forgot to add, 'but you might not be as shallow' as a coda... SHOCKED AT SHORT MEASURE Dear Miriam, I'D been with my boyfriend for four months and never felt his erection when we kissed and cuddled. The other day we went further. We didn't have sex but pleasured each other, and I was shocked his penis was only about four inches long when erect. It seemed so small it made me feel ill. I really love my boyfriend but don't think he'll be able to satisfy me. Do you think it's best to leave? Miriam replies, YOUR story reminds me of one of Samantha's Sex And The City lovers. It was a cruel, sad and very funny episode. Samantha and her boyfriend, handsome as Apollo, are getting really hot with each other until Samantha breathlessly pleads for him to put it in, and back comes his answer 'it is in'. Samantha's face is a picture of disappointment, pain, confusion, desperation and, when she recounts her story to her three friends, she asks the same question as you. 'How can I stay with a man whose penis I can't feel?' And, if it helps to remind you, Samantha - after a few more attempts at satisfaction - leaves.

Crazy Lisa the Dutch girl had one too many tinctures and said/did the following (very loudly/noticeably): 1) [Bartender hands her glass of white wine - bear in mind her usual tipple is whisky and beer] 'Look at meeeeeee! I'm TARTYYYYYYYYY!!' 2) 'I'm going to be absolutely FUCKED!' 3) 'I love 'Allo 'Allo with that funny English slag!!' 4) [Does a Madonna dance in the middle of the pub] 'Who AM I?? Who am I?!'

We just received this in our EMI mailboxes: Marylebone Crime Information on line I have had a report from a colleague informing me that some residents in Montagu Square,W1 have had 'advertising flyers' posted through their letter box advising them that the front door to their premises is not secure and should be replaced. This company appears to be engaged in what at best I would descibe is a very poor tactic in an attempt to sell their product. Please be aware of anyone calling upon you trying to sell front doors or other forms of home security. Before you spend any money on a product you may not need or that may not meet the required security standards please call me for FREE & IMPARTIAL ADVICE. Also be reminded that any home security products currently in use or newly installed need to meet the requirements of your home insurance policy.

I think I've brought this up before, in entirely the same context, but I had to get it off my chest. I converse with members of the opposite sex with ease (perhaps more easily than I converse with girls), I drink beer, I listen to a wide variety of music, I like football, I could go on but my point is *I'm not very interested in Sci-Fi*. There - said it. I'm not saying I wasn't a fan of (the original) Planet Of The Apes or Star Wars and I can see the interest in the various plots/dystopian-utopian futures, but I just felt I had to confess and lay my abject ignorance bare, as the office has been buzzing on a science fiction tip of late...Does this make me boring?

I'm having a psychotic episode. I nearly got up and left five minutes ago due to (a) the extreme monotony and pointlessness of the tasks I'm carrying out and (b) the fact that the lights won't go out so my corneas are being blasted by 100 watt mentalism.

Why has [you know who - am scared of getting done for libel by the angry journalist herself] judiciously ignored both the murder by Israel of Hamas Leader Abdel Aziz al-Rantissi and today's release of former nuclear technician-turned-whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu? Because she's the worst type of filthy, narrow-minded Zionist journalist scum, that's why.

I'm going nuts. The idiot recruitment consultant just phoned me to tell me I had an interview for the part time PA job, but that the company wanted me to sign a 6-month contract. I told him that I wasn't entirely sure about the part-time aspect of the job and he said, 'okay then, we'll withdraw your application. byyye!'. Am I dealing with the most unhelpful man in central London? The other 'concern' the company had, apparently, was that I had a strong 'editing' background instead of a PA background. For the love of God, how hard can it be?!?

We watched the Marathon from the (previously featured on tele) bridge over Salter Road yesterday (about 10 miles in). It's a bit of a SE London showcase, but we get a raw deal the rest of the time (let's face it, apart from Greenwich, there's not much to do where I live). We shouted words of encouragement at, amongst others, the oldest competitor (who waved in return) and myriad silly-costumed people (although we didn't see the running cake).

Martin just mentioned that The Dandy Warhols were his 78th favourite band. This probably means that he's indifferent to them, but likes one or two of their tunes. I've tried to think of contemporary bands whose entire oeuvre means absolutely nothing to me, and whose singles I'd never consider buying, and came up with this list: 1. Yeah Yeah Yeahs 2. The Thrills/The Stills/The Kills It's quite a short list. Maybe over time it'll expand.

1. What do you do for a living? I'm currently cleaning the Dandy Warhols for EMI. 2. What do you like most about your job? The fact that I'll own the entire Blondie back catalogue by the time I've finished here. 3. What do you like least about your job? The daily grind. The boss. The analists. 4. When you have a bad day at work it's usually because _____... The Man has pretended to be all matey and then come down on us like a ton of bricks a la David Brent. 5. What other career(s) are you interested in? Being a Blue Peter presenter. Running the world.

Some days I dream of owning a sparkling $4.99-a-month Blogs blog or Typepad blog (a la maniere de urlLink Anna ) replete with blue-and-yellow decor (or perhaps claret-and-blue) and a list of 'Currently Listening To's down the right hand column. Two problems: 1. This is the fourth time I've had to move/delete blogs and probably not the last. I don't want to move/delete a blog I've put time and effort into. (Can I just reiterate - don't give this address out to *anyone*, even if their intentions seem pure). 2. I don't own a credit card and, seeing as Chris deals with the bills at home, have zero chance of getting one.

I watched the Take That documentary (from Sunday) last night and found myself remembering lyrics from obscure album tracks. I was disappointed by the overall lack of revelations/absence of three members of the band in interviews (There were too many fat old ladies claiming to have shagged them, too) but was pleased to find out what I'd always suspected - that the acoustic guitar-wielding dancer Jason Orange didn't sing on any of the records. It also transpired that only Robbie Williams sang on Could It Be Magic.

I just added this definition to Urban Dictionary. I don't really know why I wasted my time, but I've got time to waste... stereophonics Piss-weak, ex-indie rock outfit not fit to tousle Rod Stewart's mullet. Clinically-ugly drummer Stuart Cable left in 2003, only to be dumped by his semi-famous girlfriend months later. Favoured by people who know next to nothing about music c.f. Dido. Caveat: first album was semi-acceptable in alternative circles. Laura says, 'Listen to x instead' [Where x = Rainbow, Queen, The Faces, Stone Roses, Led Zeppelin, in fact any Stereophonics influence apart from the Stereophonics).

The Gary Glitter t-shirt has got me thinking. Stuart's DJing partner, Steve, played Rock N Roll Part I (or whichever the instrumental version is) a couple of Thursdays ago. It's an excellent record. Of course everyone sat down. Equally, at one of our work outings, we all got up and danced to I Want You Back for what we thought would be one last time, as we were convinced that, if convicted, Michael Jackson would go the way of Gary Glitter...

My new trainers arrived at work this morning (light blue Adidas Grand Prix). I bought them because my white-and-black Adidas Superstars have holes in them (yes, of course I'm still wearing them). I've also got a pair of powder-blue suede Adidas Rekords, which I've ruined by jumping in puddles. Are my red Pumas and black Converse worth a mention? Maybe...the reason I'm telling you this is because I don't own one pair of heels. Time for a sartorial rethink?

I'm really angry. I was meant to be cleaning Iggy Pop (as a kinda reward for logging loads of boring product last Friday) and a colleague (who shall remain nameless) has just picked up the Iggy Pop pile of CDs and started on them. This is all because I've been waiting to be told to do Iggy Pop. I'm now cleaning a band called 3rd Force (no, I haven't heard of them, either). 3rd Force quote Mother Theresa in their liner notes. Great.

1: Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, find line 4. Write down what it says: '...the US Government saw the social critique advanced by the counterculture as a direct threat to national security.' (Revolution In The Head, Ian Macdonald). 2: Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What do you touch first? A final label copy of Westside Connection's seminal (!) Terrorist Threats album [Explicit]. 3: What is the last thing you watched on TV? Abba - SOS on Magic! 4: WITHOUT LOOKING, guess what the time is: Five Past Two pm 5: Now look at the clock; what is the actual time? Ten Past Two PM 6: With the exception of the computer, what can you hear? Mad Liza is playing something on her CD player. If I had my headphones on, it would be Pop 3 - Larmes Automatiques. 7: When did you last step outside? What were you doing? We went to Persy Pov's near Regent Street, off Hanover Square (for lunch). 8: Before you came to this website, what did you look at? Al's blog, I think. I really wanted to know why someone burped 'penis' in his office. 9: What are you wearing? Pigtails, baggy jeans, a lilac v-neck and red puma trainers. 10: Did you dream last night? No, but I snored. The last time I remember dreaming, it was quite tawdry... 11: When did you last laugh? Stuart kicked me up the arse at lunchtime. Of course I laughed. 12: What is on the walls of the room you are in? The walls are lined with CD boxes (they hold 25 CDs, I think). 13: Seen anything weird lately? A very warty woman on the tube. It was odd. And disconcerting. 14: What do you think of this quiz? Well, I couldn't think of anything else to write today... 15: What is the last film you saw? 28 Days Later on DVD 16: If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy first? A new (bigger) chest. 17: Tell me something about you that I don't know. I have six piercings, only one of which is in use. 18: If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics, what would you do? I'd bomb the Daily Mail depot near my house. 19: Do you like to dance? Yeah, especially The Hustle. 20: George Bush: is he a power-crazy nutcase or some one who is finally doing something that has needed to be done for years? No-one seriously thinks he's useful, do they? Did you just ask me that question?? 21: Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her? Aretha or Dusty 22: Imagine your first child is a boy, what do you call him? Archduke Franz Ferdinand 23: Would you ever consider living abroad? Would I? I'm there already. In a parallel universe, I do bar work in France.

Would you like to see some of the answers I've been given by the record company? Thought so, I'll preface them with my queries: Me : Have you any further information in relation to this release? ...the artwork suggests that the compilation is digitally remastered but the tracks on the compilation suggest otherwise; no artist information exists in the liner notes therefore the only current contributors are the featured artist and his producer. Betsy (from the US of A): this album was not remastered. this was a mistake made on the package by our production/art departmentt (...) i don't 1930. where do you see 1930? later that same day.... i see it in lcs. i've entered the correct (p) in both rms and lcs. you should be good to go. besy No, Betsy, I don't 1930, either...

I've got the flava (a bitter one, like lemon or vinaigre) I've just had a flicky-fringe, wingy-eyeliner stand off in the toilet with the attractive (rather 'big') blonde in our office. I get the 'cute' vote, obviously, but she gets the 'dashing, if you were a man you'd be d'Artagnan' option. She's v. stand-offish as it happens, but I managed to unnerve her by being better at eyeliner than she is (and she's had a good few years practice, believe me).

Ben's Cookies Even very close friends won't have observed this side to my behaviour very often but I'm prone to doing this as a matter of course nowadays. I bought a Ben's Cookie this lunchtime, ate round the edges and then threw the rest away (roughly half of the cookie). I often do this with e.g. packets of crisps, as I've worked out that I could never, ever bring myself to reach into the bin and retrieve said foodstuff. Half the Ben's Cookie, half the calories. Hated this morning's story about the obese (and dead) three year old - talk about parental fuck-ups...the poor kid was probably on solids by three months ('That'll be a liquidised Big Mac, please').
