q.o.t.d (or rather q.o.t.c)
There is not a passion so strongly rooted in the human heart as envy.

The Biggest Irony
Now, one would guess that since I have ‘all graduated and all’ (in Taps’ language), I should be lazing around, all free waiting for my next hawaiian vacation flight.
It turns out, things are not so realistic. I am timesharing between -my RA work with Tuck, -doing a freelance job, -studying for these stupid interviews (may god curse those people who brought this H-1B restrictions ;)) and ofcourse writing stupid programs that never see the light of day.
That explains a post after so loong. Sorry for that (12.46.199.130).us and 12-216-92-130.client.mchsi.com/.us.
..and guess what I am doing this LONGGGG weekend. Setting up a server for my lab.
System.out.println(”GRAD At Last”);
…and for those who care.
you can refer to me as,
Ashay Suresh Manjure, Masters of Science, Computer Science
… phew!!
Lethal Rig
So I was kinda frustrated with my laptop and I haven’t bought any system for about 2.5 years now. That didn’t suit for a “geek” (the term is often used by others, … me? .. well i don’t care) like me.
So to rediscover my gaming skills, I thought, why not make my credit card companies happy.
So here it goes.
- AMD 3200+ 64bit HyperTransport Technology
- ECS 755-A2 Motherboard (would have gone for ASUS K8N4-E DELUXE ATX , but fry’s had this awesome $189.99 combo deal)
- Western Digital 120GB SATA HDD
- Acer 19” Flat Panel LCD (500:1 contrast, 250cd/m2 brightness)
- Sapphire Radeon 9800Pro 128MB Video Card (I was looking at NVidia 6600GT for a long time now … it wasn’t getting cheaper, and guess what, as my luck goes (all the time, must I say), a deal was posted on bensbargains minutes after I bought the 9800 Pro) aaarrgh.
- Corsair 1GB PC3200 400Mhz FSB RAMs
- RaidMAX 420W ATX 12v Case
- DVD RW+/- 16x NEC
- Logitech LX 300 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse
WhatDaYA say? isn’t that a nice graduation gift :).
Freedoms Back again!
Referring to this (Dec 14) entry again, I have come across a similar situation right now.
With Spring 2005 just about to get over in a day for me, with it comes the end of (what in least expressed words would be termed as exciting and interesting) my Masters in Computer Science at USC.
Hell Yeah!! guys … I am graduating on May 13, 2005.
I’ll make sure to have some posts dedicated to my cool experiences in USC.
