Do it bit by bit, byte by byte.... terabyte by terabyte

For, a change, my vivas are pretty smooth sailing this time, unlike the first sem. (For all of you who have read "My last manufacturing Practical" and are smiling away and are sporting cheesy grins, stop it, else your screen will break otherwise!). Well maybe im speaking too soon, since these are just those assessment vivas and the BIGDADDY vivas are yet to come. The past week and the current one are literally squeezing me of my energy.

Last week i had my electrical viva, and i had been furiously completing my practical records before that. The morning saw me inside my teacher's cabin.. which looked more like an air conditioned automation cum electrical workshop where probably cyborgs are born everyday. 5-6 Robotic arms stared menacingly at me as i waited for my turn, their claws pointed toward me, ready to grab me by the neck. I was asked five odd questions out of which i answered three, but i know i could have done better than that. Still im happy that i did not do anything scandalous like i did in.. you know what.

This week the itinerary looks somewhat like this:

Monday: Physics of materials, viva+record

Tuesday: Programming, viva+hard copy of all programs and outputs

Wednesday: nothing really, but there is an Applied Mechanics project on the applications of the Theory of Simple Bending to be submitted, and my group mates, to whom im very grateful to have handled the major part.

Thursday: Oh what a cursed day! A Programming Test plus Electrical Test

Friday: Electrical assignment plus Applied Mechanics Viva and all the printed projects
(well, i got to make a whole project like thing for each visit to the AM/MS lab).

Should I cry? well no i guess i cant cry in printed text. Any way, so far Physics viva was smooth sailing and the programming thing rocked, yeah I probably taught our teacher a thing or two about programming logic and algos haha!. But no , no haha, there is a grave situation ahead of me, the semester is coming to an end, I must survive the wrath of the examiners.

On a lighter note, i have got my dear iPod back!!!. All credit goes to my homie, Sanchit- hacker, programmer, boxer, connoisseur of music, web designer, gamer, and now an Ipod Mechanic!!. He set my iPod right, removed two viruses from it (lovebug and iWorm) and reinstalled the iPod OS. It is really good to have it back. I have to stay up till late, and it used to get very lonely without my iPod. Of course, I had my PSP, but the poor PSP was missing the pod too. And now we three are reunited and good times are back again!.

Before signing off and mumbling " What a waste of time" plz do visit NSIT MOTORSPORTS: MINI BAJA website, as it is nearly renovated now. (see right panel for the link). Trust me it is better than my blog ;-)

Here is a video, feauturing Shashank sir explaining briefly our chassis.
