So, I pulled all-nighter because I needed to understand 3 research papers and was supposed to compare them and then meet my BTech Project Guide. And to my surprise I couldn’t even complete a single paper. Of course, after all I am daring enough to work under Dr. Ganguly. Of course, I am still hoping that this ‘dare’ will give fruits 
. It’s interesting to work on something which you know you can not do. Isn’t it?

Dr. Dheeraj Sanghi, who is a professor at Computer Science and Engineering Department of IIT Kanpur, and who is currently SUGC in IIT Kanpur did a special observation and posted it on iitk.misc newsgroup. The observation is like this : (more…)
I started writing some quotes that I use sometimes as my status messages. my_status_messages . Then I got a hint that even using quotes can infringe copyright laws. Here are some links : (more…)

If you know me well, you know that I think psychiatrists are dumb. But anyways, I am doing this course in this semester named “ORGANIZATIONAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE PSYCHOLOGY”. In one class of this course, the professor told us that with anxiety performance increases. It reaches a peek and then with further increase in anxiety performance decreases. I think that makes sense to some extent. (if you attended his class, you will agree on this point.) Anyways. So, I told a friend of mine that when there is no exam I am 100% normal (otherwise I may not). And this is a part of her reply “100% normal? I don’t believe it for a second. What are exams like at your school?” So, this gave me the idea of locating IITians in that graph. According to me the graph pretty much looks like this :
I was tweaking some settings of my blog. And I faced a problem which was a bit horrible for a moment. Login as admin and then go to the “options” tab. There you will find 2 options, one is “WordPress address (URL)” and other is “Blog Address (URL)”. I couldn’t understand the purpose of 2 addresses. So, I started thinking weird things, as in what would WordPress URL mean. I thought it meant the actual WordPress URL (i.e. wordpress.org, it may change in future ). I didn’t think anything else as I didn’t find any point calling my blog as wordpress blog, yes it is wordpress powered, but I am not freak about wordpress. And anyways there was this another option called Blog Address. So, I changed the Wordpress address to www.wordpress.org. And what is this? It started redirecting everything to wordpress.org. Oh my gosh. What to do? I wasn’t able to login. There was no other way to revert back the settings. I first started searching some config file where these settings were stored. Couldn’t find anything. Then it struck me that all settings should be on database. So, being a database nerd, I tried understanding wordpress database. I didn’t want to screw anything, as now I have a lot of things on my blog and making it again will be horrible ( I have done it once). And cautiously, I changed one record in the table “wp_options”. The record had option_id “1″.
Its so cool to have all settings in a proper file or database.
