Some more details...

Some more details about the last news post (and others):

  • I forgot to mention that I also loved the music in The Usual Suspects.  The superb music score is by John Ottman, who also edited the movie (on film, not electronically).  The movie's name itself is a reference to a line from Casablanca (something like "Round up the usual suspects!"), which I have not seen.  The first third of this movie was "re-interpreted" — or to put it more bluntly, ripped-off — in Kaante.  Of course in that film, these scenes didn't have the same context (and hence, impact) that they did in this one.
  • An important detail about the coffee shop that opened near our hostel is that it is only open till 11 PM!  The coffee place in Block 10 is open till 11:30 PM.
  • I introduced Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle to some more people today, and they really enjoyed it too.  I haven't watched it again yet, but I'm sure I will enjoy it even more than the first time.
  • Arun Ravindran updated his website/blog recently, and I posted a couple of comments on his posts.
  • Varun told me yesterday that he found a photo someone had taken of a classic-Doom Pinkydemon model on Bytephoto (a photo gallery/forum/competition site which Varun is also a member of).  He would have sent me a link to the photo, but it is in my Gmail account and I'm having trouble accessing that in the hostel.  I will check it out at college tomorrow.  Varun's Bytephoto gallery, by the way, is here (has some very nice photos).
  • Speaking of Varun, his Engineering course will only start in mid-September it seems.  So after learning some 3D Studio Max in the summer, he is now doing a course in C.
  • A few (three? four?) days back, I actually completed a front page design for the upcoming TAPMI Intranet Portal.  This is not operational yet but it would be set as the home page on all the computers on the TAPMI Network.  The design is pretty cool (I got some good comments from Arun on it — and in fact I'm posting this because he mentioned it on his blog, and I remembered that I hadn't mentioned it at all over here) in my opinion, and it is derived (rather, cannibalised from) from my design for the AKA website (refer this post).

Why am I still here in the computer room after 3 in the morning?  I better go to sleep, because myself, Guru and Raju are supposed to meet Prof. Ajoy Ivaturi about an ERP class (we are supposed to demonstrate Microsoft Navision to the other students in the next two classes) at 11 AM tomorrow.
