18 till I die

Sure Feels good to be Alive.

 

Actually its DP time at Kgp and I am loving it. No Class… No monotonous lectures… no useless departments visits… no wasting time at Nescafe waiting for the next boring lecture to start….

 

Its just your life… live it the way you want to… there’s no one to tell you what to do… you can do whatever you want to do… no deadlines to match to…. no eating mess hugga… not much people around(Yes I love it when less people are around.. you nedd to listen to less shit…)

 

I sleep at 1 everyday… get up at 9… have a nice brakfast… milk and eggs… the a decent enough lunch… go for 2.2 + in the evening(Today I went for baddy…), come back have a decent dinner…

and in between the meals I work on my MTP… which is an interesting problem….

 

It feels like I am alive these days… just doing whats right… what seems good to me… I want this to continue this way… I don’t want to attend those useless classes… do those worthless term projects… I wanna be free… I want to fly… I want to Live…

 

Schols Ave :)

Ok its nothing much. Its just that I got an article published in Scholars’ Avenue. It is an introductory article about what is Web 2.0.

You can grab the E-Copy of the Newspaper from here and go straight to page 6. They have changed the article from its original form.

Cheers!

Udit said, “Let there be RSS”

and RSS feeds were available.

Okies it has so happened that TnP work in KGP is being done through a new TnP Website. All the notices are being posted on the website itself and one doesn’t need to go to TnP to check all the notices. Cool na. But what was uncool about the website that the notices section didn’t have RSS feed. Now how in the world can you make such a website in which the notices section doesn’t provide RSS feeds.

Since the Website has been made by a group of students, I told them to put feeds, but it seems they were busy in fixing other high priority bugs. So I decided, “Bahut ho gaya, Main bar bar site pe nahin ja sakta hoon notices check karne ke liye…. ab iske feeds create karne padenge…“.

Then a few lines of Perl code, some useful regular expressions, knowledge of how to write a Feed XML file and the presence of Arpit’s external domain made it possible. Now you can subscribe to the RSS feeds of TnP notices.

The feed is available at http://www.tnp.intinno.com/tp.xml. I don’t guarantee a 100% correct feed, but whenever you find a bug, please let me know. Also since TnP site is visible from outside Kgp, I don’t think making Feeds public violates any rules. Also right now the feed content only contains the link to the notice, as I didn’t have the tempo to parse the whole notice.

Ok if you are not sure what exactly is an RSS feed, you can read here or here.

And to subscribe to this RSS feed you will need an aggregator. This can be Google Reader, your google homepage, or you could add this feed on your Orkut page by clicking on “add stuff” link on your homepage, or you could Bloglines. Since I don’t want the dependency of Web to read my feeds I use an desktop aggregator called Liferea(thats LInux FEed REAder).

 Note – Does anybody know how to track the number subscribers of this feed???
