Congrats 2 our lecturer!

About Me, Academics, Blogging, Fun, General February 22nd, 2007

today in our “Distributed Systems” lecture, we did something which i think made everyone pleased and satisfied for those who were in lecture ( physically at least :P )

we offered a gift ( glass-trophy) to our lecturer, mrs Dr Sh.Baichoo for 2 main reasons

  • she got her doctorate
  • for her patience toward us since the nearly last 3 yrs as lecturer and also as course coordinator

The ceremony was held at 1430 after the lecture in the engineering tower, room 4.2 - The famous one, with all its fans working at full speed now!
sorry for the sound quality and the small video pause on me (found at the end :D )

Or Watch it here

Fadil (’classe capitaine’) was kind enough to hand over the gift to Dr Sh.Baichoo and he assured greatly as the “maitre de ceremonie” wiz his small speech !

……….

I take advantage of this post to present you something i was suppose to post since last wednesday…
sorry for the lateness…
I proudly present to you the “Lava Lamp” offered as a gift :D

I guess it was in my destiny, its final now.

She got her place confirmed in a chinese uni for medicine and
She will be leaving mauritius in some months.

Everyday is a special day when i say it to you,
i just wish that everyday comes daily
for me to be able to say

“I love you”

Am so lucky to have you by my side!

Choosing an original, unique valentine gift was not an easy task but i finally landed in a nice shop and i discovered the magic of a lava lamp.
Dont worry, u are not the only one!
I too, didnt know wat it was called before….
below is one model of a lava lamp…

I will post the picture of the actual gift as soon as my sweetheart mails it to me…

University Of Mauritius On Econo Mode

Academics, Articles, Fun, General, News February 10th, 2007

A lot has been said in less than one week regarding the financial state of the University Of Mauritius (Express)

Initial Amount missing was 49 millions rupees but after negociation with Authorities, 18 millions have been arranged and most important of all, 11,8 millions of rupees are estimated to be saved if the running costs of the university is reduced. Seems that another 2.5 millions will be saved through arrangements made over the extra duty hours, allocations etc…
According to the article, only 14.2 millions will still be missing
(lol, pu ene fois, mo poor maths p dire mwa ki calcul la pas bon!)

Also, that, if so much can be saved, then surely, much more resources are being used carelessly !

Beaucoup d’actions seront réduites au minimum pour les cinq derniers

Now, if u dont want to read the following, u may close this window/tab since the remaining part consists of simply some “stupid things” directly from my mind

My happy hours start here!

(only my close friends know what kind of things happen during the happy hours)

So, how can we reduce running costs of the university of mauritius?

Inspired by the most popular Stupid Political Group
GLOBE - Aneerood.Gajadar

  • Switch Off the Elevators (lifts) - Everyone use stairs!
  • Switch Off those hundreds of lights that are uselessly kept On in the engineering tower!
  • Switch Off those few working fans and Air-conditioners, Everyone must bring their own “L’evantaille rs10!”
  • Use those rs2000 paid to the CSE Department Labs to get something done!
  • Instead of screensavers, cut down electricity consumption by switching off the monitor after amount of inactivity
  • Make adequate use of resources (UoM Vehicles)
  • Dont trim the grass, put cattle. etc to eat them!
  • Provide “Dal Pourri” to visitors or during official functions instead of those costly “pattisseries”
  • Use Students’ Projects to recycle waste materials n for re-use on campus!
  • Make Use of Renewable Energy, again students’ final year projects
  • Lecturers wont like this : Instead of Projectors, use the whiteboard or even blackboard and chalk - “la craie” and students wont like it too, coz they will have to copy in the notebooks :P
  • Save Money on Photocopy & Official paper works, send mails and provide all lectures on softcopy
  • Make Parking Payant for students…
    This will make them use the facility provided by the government and at same time, money can be collected by those students!

Do you have more ideas to save our uni?

Where is singingfish.com?

Articles, Blogging, General, Web February 9th, 2007

Its neither a fish which likes to sing nor a site dedicated to show u how to make a fish sing!

It was my favorite music search engine, especially to get direct downloads to any songs u need, ya any!
just type it n the search engine gives u the direct link to download the song or even videos etc…

According to wikipedia:
Singingfish was an audio/video Search Engine that powers audio video search. Singingfish employs its own web crawler, Asterias designed specifically to ferret out audio and video links across the web.

but some minutes before, when i tried to access the www.singingfish.com,well, it was automatically redirected to AOL Video

In fact, AOL aquired SingingFish and integrated the service in its aol search.
Again according to wikipedia, since 7 Feb 2007, all hits to singingfish on the internet are being redirected to AOL Video…

Just 2 days back!!!

that’s wat happens when everyone tries to download illegal music….

hmm, who has the link for a better and valid Free Mp3 download site ???

My laptop’s screen gonna “rendre l’ame!”

About Me, Blogging, General, Technology February 6th, 2007

grrr!!!!

yesterday a green thin line appeared just in the middle of my screen …
a few seconds later, it became blue n then yellow.
am still lucky, there is only one, but 2 yrs back, there was nearly 10 of them, of every color, a vertical set of lines on the screen!
a chance that it was still under warranty n i sent it back to singapore n it came back after nearly 2 months!!!!

Poor me!
without my companion for 2 months!

But this time, if it gonna get worst then have to find another solution!

Perhaps buy a new computer screen n connect it together n then tear out the laptop screen :P
lol, what would i call it then?
A Personal “Laptop-Computer” System?

anyway, wish that the following members of the line family take a very long time to make their appearance here!

the only advantage of this line:

U dont need any ruler or grids when u have to do some graphic design or animation!
Its already Built-In !!!

Quelle temps de chien !

its been raining cats n dogs since early this morning, here in north…

but each time, something confuses me;
What is the probability that the weather prediction becomes true?
Below is a screenshot of what was predicted for this sunday’s morning

Source : MBC

Thats y, its been ages since i have stopped watching the Meteo.
In addition to this unreliable thing, we now have the opportunity(?) to watch

  • Meteo Des Plages &
  • Meteo Agricole

Anyway, one thing for sure is that this weather is so cool, pleasing & romantic :)
and fortunately we dont need anyone to predict our feelings!

Feeling hmmm, simply “no words to describe!”
