The night before another farewell

Well this is I-T as usual reporting live but this time from home on the eve of a very important special event, the night before the day when KB, the eldest of the bhatti brothers is leaving for sweden but on a literary epic quest one that will take him to the depths of Gotenberg. Just to be exact, Chalmers University. At the moment everyone is tired after scurrying about from here to there, running errands and stuff. Relatives have been visiting since the last three hours and now it is 12:30 AM. Last days are well ... umm... different if not anything else. The day started off with us getting gadgets and tech accessories. In fact the fact that we were out getting tech stuff today was because of yesterday when we weighed KB's PC. It weighed a whole 5 KG. That was too much for him to take and too much to handle, so he set a budget a budget under 50 K Rupees. Once that had been done, I contacted yet again the person who does not exist that I .... well used to work for, but still do in  a virtual way. He suggested ibuy a pretty cool site that is the authorized dealer of quite a few makes. There was this Decent dell machine availible just under 50 K, well I doubt that you would've guessed it but its a Dell Inspiron 1300 and they had it stocked. And that was when we got one booked. Only to go forth and get it. THen came along the addons e.g. clipon webcam, IDE 2 USB converter. I bought myself a 512 MB MP3 Player and USB Mass Storage Device while running around Hafeez center. I've been using it since the last well, 8 hours and it has served me well. And it continues to do so. At the moment I'm listening to Red Hot Chilli Peppers, The Zephyr song. Anyways buying this made me do one thing that I have wanted to do since quite a bit of time and that is organizing my music collection according to my desired mood. My current desired mood is relaxed. Other desired moods include alert, cool, 80's, oldie(thank god its not gay anymore). This is the kind of stuff you'd expect from a geek computer nerd. CS kind of does that to youk, but then again there are positive sides to the story as well.

Ahhhh now where was I, so many relatives visiting means that I wont be able to depart for GIK today, which is bad in a good way because I wont be able to get started on the Compilers Manuals that I intended to, however I will be able to go and see KB off at the Airport. Oh goodie, Desert Rose is on :) Another step closer to my current mood goal of relaxed and once I reach to that state, my next mood goal is anticipated to Dark and my friend Rappie knows what that means, yep Rappie if you're reading this you guessed it NIGHTCRAWLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay dudes this is I-T going *kapoof*. See you guys next time same blog time, same blog channel.

Oh man blog composing on this laptop is so soooooooooooo goood. I want to run away with it. This night I'll play Golem, KB will be Frodo and well we all know what the laptop will be. Its going to be a long night Sigh!!!!!!

Back to GIKI

Well I went to gik today afte a lon itme and I saw Hatim blogging an d I decded to give it a try on my wy back from teh daweoo termail even though they have sucky ekbord with key s really heard to press ti wa sitll a good way to kill time. After going yesterday to bytesenes. the 2nd last time I go there as an empoyee, i deided to work at the university(GIKI) as a TA. I went fo rthe interiew early in the moring after a journey that lased toe whole enight. I reahed IGKI and it looked diffrent. Met a lot of old freinds. Had a lot of fun. The TAhship intreveriew was great. I wodnder if you gcan read this. I acan but mayee it is i n my head that mwhy .

I got 2 labs. I have to share the burden of 1/3 of the 300 CS101 students and pierre is getting them hooked on linux from the start. This should be interesting. Apart from that they gavee me the compilers and langauge lab too. Hve to decide its course content from scratch with Usmnan the instructor from scratch because it is being foffer d for he first time. This should be fun. Masroor said he would help me with algos for code Jam. I hoep tht the busy s`heduel allows me to tke time out for everythig.

I wen t bcak with Hatim. He generously gave me a ride till pindi daewoo even thought he himself got off at Hasan Abdal. Great Guy. He's the reason I got into microsfot ni the first place. Inshallah Nice things will happen to nice poeple.
