This is one of my best photos or may be the one i like most. Taken with my phone camera(nokia 3230).I got a little impatient when waiting for my friends pre placement talk by IXIA . juz clicked this photo from the first floor window before the assembly hall.The construction work going on is for a fountain.

I AM IN MY HOUSE NOW !!!!

I am in my house now.All credits goes to my micro companions.The typhoid virus.a few guys from the second and third years got too friendly with these little creatures and as a result had to be hospitalised.

And as usual , the guys simply blew it out of proportion to an epidemic level. The added point was that since they were having their mid-sem exams a lot of guys will miss them and this might be a black mark on their marksheets.

But the main aim of these guys were to get holidays and go to their houses.So one fine night the guys gathered outside of their hostels and marched to the directors room.

The director was caught unaware by such a big crowd. And now they demanded the exams be postponed and that holidays be declared for a period of two weeks so as to enable the students to recover from their illness(the true reason being to go to their houses).

The director can logically not refuse.

The first reason :: what if the students got ugly. It was quite a possibility considering the previous instances of similar situations.

the second reason :: if he refuses and if the students take it to higher power , he will come into fire for the poor sanitary conditions in the college.

And that's how we got the holidays.

Now I am in my house happily typing away this post.

Thank you all. Viruses and my juniors alike.

No sound in quake . Linux

hmmn . I started quake.initialised properly.went to the menu.started a map and it loaded good.but iwas in for a big disapp when I heard no sound. All other apps were working fine.i mean playing sound.

right now I am searching for a solution. I will post it as soon as I find one.

bye.

finally got my 915g mother board based system running under linux.

finally got my 915g mother board based system running. it was a big relief for me a few days back when i got my system to run under linux. by running i mean everything is working properly.

previously i encountered so many probs.

first virtually no linux ditro had sound support for the HD audio . suse 9.x had only the beta drivers. which u can be assured will not work 90 % of the time.

second thing display. almost all distros defaulted to mesa. and when u use the drivers provided by intel it failed in one way or the other.

worse still some distros won't even recognize my sata hard disk.

debian 3.1 is really a pain in the ass . even their latest release wont see my sata hard disk.

leave alone display and audio.

FINALLY WHEN I WAS LOOSING ALL HOPE....

red hat enterprise linux 4 saved the day.

it detected my SATA disk first.
then my display as 915g.

so much so good.

installation was a breeze.
a reminder to all ::: intsall all development tools and the kernel source in particular.

even the installation progress indicator had a new look. not the classic red hat look.

when everything was over and when it came to the login screen, i was really delighted to see such a clean and sweet looking screen. rhel4 rocks! .
i logged in.
went to the intel site.
got the divers for audio.it was a self installing script. after the install i was disappointed when i heard no sound.

but not for long.it seems that after the install the mixer defaults to mute.
juz increase the volume. and voila.
it was really cool to hear sound from my system.

thats how i got "everything" to work on my systems....

so my suggestion. if u have 915g try red hat enterprise. it really makes a change.
need any help juz IM or mail me.

bye ..
