The project work that I was doing along with my friends officially got over today.  We made two large directories with all the files we had worked on (since December) at ROC - now they are going to give us all the stuff in them on CDs.  I will be uploading the final executable application and the insertable (?) device driver module on this site, and I'll have a page with a few screenshots of it soon.  I had a fantastic experience at ROC working on this project, but I'm also glad it's over because I can spend more time on The Other Stuff I Have Been Working On™.

Ganeshan told me about this new magazine called Linux For You, which is India's first magazine entirely dedicated to Linux.  Now this first issue is on sale for just Rs. 50 (US $5), and it comes with a CD which contains Knoppix - a Linux distribution (based on Debian Linux), which can be used DIRECTLY off the CD (no need to install)!  So I got the magazine today, and unfortunately when I tried to boot from the CD, it said "Failure".  Pity, because this CD has 2 GB worth of applications and packages (completely usable Linux with KDE, KOffice, GIMP, PHP, Apache, MySQL, the list goes on and on) all stuffed into it!  I really want to use Linux more, but I guess I will have to clear up some GBs of space on the hard disk for that, which is easier said than done.

Tomorrow and the day after, at our college, our IEEE Students Chapter is holding a technical event called Adastra 2003.  I will be going there early in the morning (I'll be at college by 8 AM or so), and I am really looking forward to attending the various contests, etc. in it.
