Programming is fun, many will agree with this.. Here is a programming language which makes it more fun with its syntax.. Its called the LOLCODE . I personally found it really cool. The way they have defined the tokens is simply awesome. Some of the tokens are

Begin = HAI
End = KTHXBYE (ok thanks bye :P )
Print = VISIBLE
True = YARLY
False = NOWAI
Error = O NOES

Today ( yesterday) was a great day in my life. I got placed in National Instruments. One of the companies I had in my mind for quite sometime.. I'm very happy about it. :-)

The recruitment process of NI was simply the best. I had heard this from many of my seniors, I just saw that myself today. The process had a written round (subjective, basically code snippets), followed by 2 rounds of technical interview.

I wanted to share a couple of things regarding placements and how it is from a placement coordinators' point of view. This is my first post about placements so before anything else, one quick round of introduction of placement coordinators who have made the hectic work, a little enjoyable!

FreeRice! I liked the concept of this site very much.. Lakshman was the one who introduced me to this. Its basically a vocabulary game, A word is given and we have to select the definition from a list of specified options. There are different levels, the level gets tough as we progress. The concept I was talking about is this "For each correct answer we give, the sponsors of FreeRice website (the ads we see on the bottom of the site) donate 20 grains of Rice to the UN Food program".

One of the main advantages of using FOSS(Free and Open Source Softwares) is that we get the source code along with the program.. All this time i was just using them, but never tried to get the source code and see the code that was making the program work.. Few weeks back i decided to do so. I asked madhu about how to get the source code and build it.. He told me that GNOME would be the best package to start with.. He gave me some links where i could get all the information about building GNOME..

It was that time of the year when the final year students start expecting a farewell from their juniors. I'm glad we didn't disappoint them :P.. We had to postpone it twice! Many of us had given up hopes of having one actually, but it happened on may 18th :)

Hello everyone.. I was using the site www.krishbharadwaj.com from quite sometime. It was template driven and i couldn't do much with it.. Just to edit the contents, I had to login to a website which was very slow and opened only in IE.. I was facing a lot of problems. Then i discovered the content management system Drupal..( www.drupal.org ) Its very easy to use and provides a wide set of modules for adding more and more features.. I'll try to write regularly on this blog. Keep watching this space :)
