I believe it was the first time, such kind of event was happening in Jaipur. there was mad rush for the event & people even came from outside Jaipur as well. online registrations were above 300, which was many times than expected.

About the Event

The whole event was organized in just 10days by enthusiastic member of lug-Jaipur and supportive students of JECRC.  speakers were free software developers from various parts of India. the talks were ranging basic topics like “how to communicate on internet effectively” and to some advanced topics like Embedded systems. Besides the main talk there here hands-on sessions called hackfests.

Day 1

Reached the Venue at 6:00PM, had no problems finding the venue thanks to easy instructions posted on their website. Event was start by a singing Free Software Song and blowing balloons called “Winblows” . Boy! what were they thinking?

After this,  we were told to proceed to Labs for the talk by speakers.I had trouble finding correct lab since they are too many and without guidance it was hell lot of confusing. somehow I ended up in LAB-three. there the topic was “i-want-2-do-project-tell-me-wat-2-do-fedora” by speaker called  Shakthi Kannan. the lab was well equipped with projector,AC and most important all machines were running fedora! Sessions started with all of us introducing ourselves. the talk was quite long but not boring. after session was over, there were hackfest scheduled from 10pm to 2:00AM. unfortunately, i couldn’t stay for that long.

Day 1 was awesome, event was well organized and everything was preplanned. since i had such a good experience  – I decided to return for day 2.

Day 2

In Morning, I reached On time. to my surprise the event got delayed by 1hr. so i waited,waited and waited. finally we were called at about 10:40AM for talk by Lalith Suresh. If i remember correctly, he is not speaker’s panel, which was little. he told us about Open Source and its Ideology,how projects work, how can we contribute etc.the talk filled with helpful information and how can one contribute. a welcome surprise! I liked his style and Deadly PJs.The  two girlfriend theory  = high availability was pwnage!!

One thing I noticed and liked on day1 as well on day2 that the umber geek T-Shirts  guys were wearing. i liked one on which “127.0.01” was written. Simple and Geeky!

Next was Session by Shakthi Kannan titled – Badam Halwa of Embedded Systems.the presentation was interesting and well researched. i really appreciate all the effort he’s putting into it! Infact his talk was so good, that i decided to attend next talk  as well. during next talk, we had a announcement that some talk are rescheduled.

Sad news, one talk on Linux security which was looking to attend was dropped. due to changes, i had plenty of time to socialize. I even made a few friends there. After that we had a hand-on session on IRC and a talk on Distributed & fail-safe computing.

Conclusion

A event on Technology, that too on Free and Open Source is Dream Come true for me. Ask Why?

Because I always saw such kinds of event happening other bigger cities like mumbai,pune  and used to think when can we have something like this in jaipur. I want to thank all who made it possible and Jai pandya for letting me in

Hopefully, next year it would bigger and better. maybe a national level event – possible. who knows.

As a custom, here are some pics from the event:

Rest Assured I would return and resume posting. I also promise i would start updating this space more frequently. Meanwhile you can read some my Older Posts

I haven’t been updating this place as frequently as i used to do in earlier times. In my earlier posts, i have pointed out the reason as making a the correct balance. But actual reason is i spend most of my free time watching TV series. In other words, i am hooked to them.
I am not talking about Indian TV shows like the saas bahu crap or 43yr old man marring 16yr old girl , but TV shows telecasted in the US.In general, they have great storyline,fine performances from actors and mostly importantly they move as the plots change,actors gets replaced. Something which i miss on Indian television.
Just like every tree in garden doesn’t yield fruits, same way not all TV series telecasted are interesting to watch. i would start from ones which i like the most.

• Prison Break:

  Prison Break is an American Golden Globe Award nominated serial drama television series created by Paul Scheuring, which premiered on the Fox Broadcasting Company on August 29, 2005. The series revolves around two brothers; one who has been sentenced to death for a crime he did not commit, and the other, a genius, who devises an elaborate plan to help him escape prison.

  Smallville:

  • 

    The plot follows the adventures of a young Clark Kent‘s life in the fictional town of Smallville, Kansas, during the years before he becomes Superman. The first four seasons focused on Clark and his friends’ high school years. Since season five, the show has ventured into more adult settings, with some characters attending college and an increase in the introductions of other DC comic book superheroes and villains.

  How i Met your Mother

  • 

    How I Met Your Mother is an American situation comedy that premiered on CBS Broadcasting on September 19, 2005. The show was created by Craig Thomas and Carter Bays. As a framing device, the main character, Ted Mosby, in the year 2030 recounts to his son and daughter the events that led to his meeting their mother, which explains the title and allows for a narration in the past tense. How I Met Your Mother‘s other main characters are Marshall Eriksen, Robin Scherbatsky, Barney Stinson, and Lily Aldrin. Thomas and Bays drew from their friendship in creating the characters, with Ted based loosely on Bays, and Marshall and Lily based loosely on Thomas and his wife.

The above 4 shows are the my favorite ones, other than that i watch Dexter,24,Supernatural. but didn’t like them much.
the next question is How do i get this shows here in INDIA? Answer: via Peer-to-peer networks like TPB. as legally you can’t get them here.
Now, Go watch it as the risk of being addicted!!

As you might have noticed by diminishing flow of post in blog, I have been rarely active on Internet in previous months.due to this, this blog is being neglected. so what I have been doing?

I have been trying to set my life on correct track; setting a goal and being devoted to achieve that goal no matter how hard it is and whatever it takes. previously, I used to do so many things together, but i was never able to master them as my mind was diverted.

Now I always try to stay focused on the task in hand, rather worrying about what’s coming up next. this one thing has helped me lot. These days i spend my time doing constructive things, things which you after 5years, can look and say “I made this”. So from now on i would be avoiding IRC,IM and alike’s.

I want to convey all the readers of this blog, this blog has a special place in my heart and will stay active for longtime. sometimes new post may not come as early as you have expected it to, will flow of posts on this blog would go on…..I guess its all about Strike the Correct Balance between things you do, suddenly life becomes very simple.

Interesting, this blog is now going to be 6month old. So if you have any comments,feedback or complaints. Please leave them as commented below or contact me via e-mail at:

Next post coming up is about “New age Internet Banking service”.

Stay Tuned!

• Financial and Marketing Management
• Digital Electronics and Circuits
• Mathematical methods for Numerical Analysis and Optimization
• Database Management System
• Object Oriented Programming
• Networking Technologies And TCP/IP
• System Analysis and Design
• Internet and Intranet
• Electronic Communication and Data Communication
• Visual Basic, Visual C, and Visual Foxpro Programming (Laboratory)
• Web authoring Tools,Java and Perl Programming (Laboratory)
• Digital Electronics Lab (Laboratory)

I am little disappointed with Rajasthan University for not updating its course since we are still studying things Foxpro & Visual Basic but then again it would be useful as some core concepts learned here would apply in RDMS. I am happy to have TCP/IP stack as I always wanted to know about it but lacked motivation to do so. However studying Digital Electronics will challenge for me. it has lot of “stuff” which need in depth understanding of subjects taught in previous year but who likes Life without challenges.
Additional I am planning to stress more on Java Programming Language and little on Visual C as I feel java is more widely implemented and would be value addition in my resume.
Although it hard to perfect everything but lots of hard work with some luck would do the trick.

Wish me Luck

My College Exams have ended few days back. There is still time to before new session of college Begins. this means sittings at home whole day and doing nothing. some people call it rest and means of relaxation. for me its simply waste of time. so thought to pen down some ideas which one could do and enjoy his/her holidays. after all we rarely get such long holidays.so I want to utilize it to fullest extent.

• Catch with Friends: its been long since i met my friends. so i plan to visit their place. go on some outing with them. make sure you aren’t unwanted guests, its your holiday not theirs. so call them and ask before visiting.

• Watch Movies:Thats most of us do when we are free, i plan to do the same. if you are looking for some good movies to watch.check out Movie Recommendations @imdb.com
• Hit the Gym: In past few months due to continuous sittings while studying & daily midnight feasts, few extra layers of lipids have developed around my belly. now its time to shed it and get back in shape. if you don’t have access to Gym,then do some jogging & running in park. if going to park is also not possible. you may try Power Yoga.

  Its basically faster form of Yoga for youth.

• Give Time to yourself: In this crowded fast moving life, personnel space is at premium. this is the time where i can s pend time improving myself. Pursue my hobbies like reading magazines and novels. improve my dressing sense. catch up with latest fashion by shopping for trendy clothes & accesssories. get a funky look by new hair stlyle.you can do things which you always wanted to but were never able to do due to lack of time.
• Help your Parents:Be responsible, spend some quality time with your Parents. help your dad with Car wash or Mom with daily chores. let them know they have a obedient son/daughter. they would be so happy. then maybe if you are little cunning then ask for a new mobile!!
• Sports: It peaks performance and mental toughness. Although some people don’t like sports, but i am sure there must be at least one sport which you like playing. i like swimming.check the List, to find which sport you may like.
• Games on Console/PC laying computer Games is quite fun and addictive. i can spend whole night playing GTA IV.organise a LAN party with your friend and play counter strike. girls may not like this idea. Alternatively,Girls can callup friends and catch with latest gossip.
• Vacation:leave behind the fast city life and escape to a exotic holiday destination. if you are life me, who can’t go to holiday then visiting your Grandparents is the best thing to do. for me it refreshes my childhood memories.

• Enchance your skill set:not entirely fun, but you need to do something which enhances your professional value and this is the best time to do so.it may not be fun but certainly help to future. like i have decided to brush up my programming and learn basic math to improve my quantitative apptitude.you do something similar in your respective field. is you get too much stressed then to relieve stress watch some porno flick.no don’t do that. i am joking.
• Internet Surfing: waste your time watching Youtube videos,reading my blog or read site like Wikipedia and participate in online discussion forums.you can spend time doing some some work or just passing time.on Internet its all upto you, how you spend your time.if you are looking for some sites. then Google is your friend.

These were my ideas on how to pass my month long holidays. Please comment them and feel free to contribute your own ideas.
