Capricious Saturday

Today turned out to be really capricious. I had planned to complete some part of GRE week 4 study plan but i am ending up not even touching parts of the plan. The reason to account for this wreck is that Hari had asked to catch up with me today @ Fun mall. So I went for the mall and part of the plan was to discuss the finance options to buy a iPad 4. We did that and discussed for some time.

But on the other side, i caught up with my mom and together we learned some GRE vocab words from Barrons wordlist. I spent some quality time in reviewring the words from the printed wordlist sent by my bro from London.

Actually, Kannan, a colleague of mine had planned for a movie ('Escape Plan' is releasing today) @ Fun mall but it didn't materialise as he had to focus on his commitment. This is one of the reasons for my title for this post.

In the evening, I reviewed some videos from vocab wednesdays and some lesson videos from Magoosh after a power nap for 1 hour or so. So thats it guys i spend a majority of my time on GRE in the weekends as i have to keep with my commitment of my job in the weekdays. I am also learning an e-course on Machine Learning from coursera, which I will talk about in the next post. Bye for now.

trying to do world class work

we are trying to attract international participants for kruzade 09..which is in its 2nd edition now..and has got only national level participants..when I decided to host the contest on SPOJ,i mailed to Luskasz Kuszner the site incharge of SPOJ,to obtain the contest setting priviledges.and i tried to set up a contest.In order to get international participants we need to set original problems.so we are searching original ideas.[;)]

sad again!

recently i attended the scholarship test conducted by TIME for GRE...i was listening to the guy talking there about the criteria for getting into univs in the US...he told that a GPA of 9.8 is required to get into MIT...i remembered the day during 1st sem...gowrisankar asks every1 to go in front of the class and tell what their aims were...i walked upfront and told them that i want to do an MS in CS from MIT...

but then coming back to reality..my cgpa is 8.95 and i havn't done much to get into any univs in the US...but somehow i hav a faint ray of hope that i'll make into some univ in the US...let's do soe karma... \m/

Dr.pujeri

i told my friends how Pujeri inspired me to be a good student.that was in 1st year.he has left college to become the principal of KGISL .in 1st year i was kind of a cool student.i didnt really care much for marks(cgpa of 8.7 in 1st sem...low for PSG standards).what he did was that he told in the class that i was the worst student he has seen in PSG tech.that really made me to work hard and inprove myself.

and now, since my academics has gone to the dogs again,anish says this:

anish: i think i hav to act like Pujeri..you are the worst guy i've seen in PSG tech...

me: if my girl friend says that i'll probably start working..if u say it i'll probably become more lazy...

anish: !!!!!

java project

we are doing "static face recognition" as a java project.we are using the paper "Eigenfaces for face recognition" by Turk & Pentland as the main source.we have tried to implement eigenface in java and it has come out successfuly.

Our project guide Mr.Ramesh says it is possible(not guaranteed) to publish a paper if we work for 1-2 years.im kinda underperforming in academics now-a-days so im worried im not at my best to work with my team-mates,who are doing good.

routine

usually i work in terms of what is called "Manager's schedule" that is, split work time into hours, ur work is divided into hours.whether u work for 40 min or 20 min out of the 1hr,consistency is must.
but when i write code, i follow "Maker's schedule" that is,the work time is divided into chunks of time..say this evening or this night like that..
