Doom 3 Demo downloaded, 5th Term Started

Friday · 24 Sep 04 · 10:27 AM IST | Posted by Karthik | Category: General

Before I talk about the Doom 3 Demo, I will first say that I successfully wrote all three of Varun's CDs.  As I'd mentioned in the previous post, I transferred all the (698 MB) data onto a computer where sharing folders was enabled, then transferred it from there again onto another computer with a CD Writer, and then wrote the disc.  So now all that's left is for me to make copies of these CDs and send them to Varun.

Yesterday we had the last session of T-Group Sensitivity Training starting at 1:30 PM.  But since I had to work on a Strategic HRM assignment, I got here (the Systems Lab) at around 11 AM itself, and started working on that.

That was not the only thing I started though.  I also started downloading the Doom 3 Demo from FileRush (doesn't require registration or anything).  I let the thing go on, attended the Sensitivity Training sessions (which got over in the evening), worked on the assignment, and left.

This morning at around 6:30 AM I checked the download folder from the hostel and was extremely pleased to see a 461 MB file called d3demo.exe in there!

So now what?  This morning at 9 AM we had an address by the Director to begin the 5th Term at TAPMI.  Then, some black coffee later, I am again in the Systems Lab, going to start another, bigger, download!  This is a 587 MB Gamespy Video of Half-Life 2, which is going to take another 4 minutes to start (I don't have a subscription to FilePlanet, so I have to wait in line for using the public servers).

I have two classes today, one at 11:50 AM and then one at 5:20 PM.  In the mean time I will be working on that assignment while the Half-Life 2 Video is downloading.
