Linux fanboy and McDonald's
Tuesday, July 05, 2005
Hello world..im starting to hate tht phrase right now..every god damned assembly program dealing with characters has tht as its test string..but anyway..today is a wierd day..coming out of a long weekend the body is still numb and doesnt really respond to the commands of getting up and going to class..but i had to anyway and its a good thing too..i really cant miss any class during the summer session..the bloody mircoprocessor (362) prof has jets planted in his behind..cant afford to miss tht class otherwise im a total goner in tht course...i got my grade for the first midterm in tht course and as expected im riding the "average" wave..just making the average :P...
for some reason my 362 prof hates microsoft with all his heart...a total geek at heart if i may add..but hes really fun to listen to in class..and no wonder he has a linux fetish going (all normal [non-geek] ppl pls do not put strain on ur brains to make sense of tht) ...today he's teaching us how to make a word processor in assembly and he calls it "Word 0.1" for fun and then hints tht it does more than wht microsoft can put up...he had the class in a fit (yea we're a bunch of geeks)..actually all the program did was take some characters and print to the interfaced printer..thts all..its kinda cool learning these kinda things..its only at times like these tht i enjoy being an engineering student, otherwise its a drag and a real bore..
family left for dubai today..altho i was in a diff place altogether and not with them for atleast a month now, it still feels like it is now tht they have left..maybe coz the fact tht they were still in US and in contact all the time...anyway i will miss them and the absolute blast of a month i had during Sadaf's (my cousin) wedding...
I ordered a peach of a camera today...as an early gift from my parents for my bday..it will arrive in a week or so..ive always wanted to do some amateur photography and finally i can get some hands on experience...cant wait..thinking of making a timeline of my learning process on this blog..lets see..
well..i think im done for now....wait..not before the compulsory joke ;)

this was one of the things tht i got in an email which was listing some things that Billy Connolly (a comedian) hated abt ppl..i liked this one the most:
McDonalds staff who pretend they don't understand you if you don't
insert the 'Mc ' before the item you are ordering.....It has to be a
McChicken Burger, just a Chicken Burger gets blank looks. Well I'll have
a McStraw and jam it in your McEyes you fucking piece of McShit

oh yea...if u find typos up there..keep em...my gift to u..

Kick ass cam man! You don't happen to want to come back to AUS do you? My room is more open than ever now! (heheee)
BTW, what are you gonna be getting next from your wish list?
i am thinking maybe I'll go for the Merc..hehe..seem to have enough loose change after my camera purchase :P
Very funny blog. I happen to be a Linux user myself, although I don't consider myself a computer buff. I use Ubuntu, so I suppose that makes me a novice, but it's very nice. Your description of your zippy professor hits home for me!
thnx..i dont use linux myself but i did happen to use Ubuntu for a while..the live version..may give it a go again once summer school is over..
Hoot of a joke!
Hope you're doing ok with all those funny + torturous classes.
