Perl vs Python : Some of the Geekiest and Weirdest stuff I came across :P

I was just going through the net trying to find out which scripting language would be a better option for me when I came across this. Thought you guys might want to read it.
P.S. For the dudes who dont like technobabble on my blog, email me or comment and I'll make a new one for this kind of stuff.

EXTERIOR: DAGOBAH -- DAY

With Yoda strapped to his back, Luke climbs up one of the
many thick vines that grow in the swamp until he reaches the
Dagobah statistics lab. Panting heavily, he continues his
exercises -- grepping, installing new packages, logging in as
root, and writing replacements for two-year-old shell scripts
in Python.

YODA: Code! Yes. A programmer's strength flows from code maintainability.
But beware of Perl. Terse syntax... more than one way to do it...
default variables. The dark side of code maintainability are they.
Easily they flow, quick to join you when code you write. If once
you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny,
consume you it will.

LUKE: Is Perl better than Python?

YODA: No... no... no. Quicker, easier, more seductive.

LUKE: But how will I know why Python is better than Perl?

YODA: You will know. When your code you try to read six months from
now.

CG LAB

CG lab this week was really fun. I have really started to like openGL and stuff. So I took some printscreens and am putting them here. I know these arent killer graphics but Enjoy!!!!.

Balakot

I'm getting prep'ed up with a lot of other gikians(those that didnt run home) to leave for Balakot shortly. The earthquake scene here in GIK was really irritating with 2 days of running in and out of the hostels a more detailed description can be found at Basims blog, but now we need to go to balakot for releif efforts. Check out this link [ORKUT LINK] for information how you too can help the victims at Balakot. Balakot is a severly hit area where no formal rescue operations have been started so far making it all the more essential for us to help. The nature of the work we plan to be doing is basically logistic support. Plus in GIKI 1 lac was collected and it is being dispersed in the form of food and medicine to the victims. So right now there is going to be a fund collection session after which we'll be leaving. I'll come back and post about the experience later.

Until then, peace out folks and pray for the victims.

Un Productive Fridays

Fridays have always really been a waste as far as my time is concerned, but this Friday I managed to get some work done. After missing my first 2 classes( all the classes today), I heard that my lab had been cancelled, so I wasted time till around 4 pm and then I decided to head off to the library with Hashim ( my new study partner. I just dumped sqeky cos he's too lazy). Over there although I was too drowsy to study anything myself, I managed to teach some GIKI school kid math and that wasnt such a waste when you come to think of it. I returned to my hostel at around 8:50 pm. Just in time for dinner. After that Faisal Kamran came to me with a concept on paper( an drawing actually for the logo of the GIKI Basketball Association ). Well we went to my room and converted it to graphic art and here's how it looked.



And after adding some extra stuff[the dunking guy] we get :-
