Imperial Staying Power !

Sai K. B.

... People that work in precision like metric. People that don't see know reason to switch. The scientific community grabbed metric because it solved a problem that they had. There was no compelling reason for people to switch, which is why it took government coercion to switch people in Europe. In the US, our government hasn't historically had the power to do something similar (coerce grocery stores to change, schools, etc.) so America hasn't switched. ...

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honour to meet you and you may call me V. � V's introduction to Evey

For fans of Dexter

Sai K. B.

Read the comments section in above link. Here is the exact text: =============================== Dexter goes up to his sister laughing, and says "A physics professor and his assistant are working on liberating negatively charged hydroxyl ions, when all of a sudden, the assistant says, "Wait, Professor! What if the salicylic acids do not accept the hydroxyl ions?" And the professor responds, "That's no hydroxyl ion! That's my wife!"" - from Dexter's Laboratory I've always wanted to understand this joke, from many years ago. @___@;;; I was reminded of this joke today when we talked about hydroxyls in biology and chemistry. :XD: To liberate is to set free. The point of this joke is that it's saying that a negatively charged hydroxyl ion is equivalent to a professor's wife. Hydroxyls, which contain at least one hydroxide (-OH), are alcohols. Does the joke mean the wife is drunk? I then researched salicyclic acids and I found out that salicyclic acid is a plant hormone used as a medicine for acne. More importantly, it is a carboxylic acid. We learned in biology today that an ester linkage is formed between a carboxyl and a hydroxyl, and in this case, salicylic acid and hydroxyl ions create aspirin, the pain reliever. Now isn't that cool? :D Lastly, the hydroxyl ion is NEGATIVELY charged, so the wife has had an excess of alcohol. Basically, therefore, the professor was only trying to give some aspirin to his wife, who has a hangover. ROTFLMAO.

Website redesign

Sai K. B.

This is an announcement to the members of alumni IITG ----------------------------------------------------- Hello guys, Currently I am working on redesigning website UI and structure, so as to make it skinnable. The idea is to separate style from structure and put _all_ styles in pure CSS. I am not very good at CSS, yet, so I am making the changes as I am learning it. There could be some wrinkles here and there which will be ironed out, I need some more time for that. Until then please bear with me, I am just a volunteer. If you can help me in fixing the bugs, that would be great. Feel free to post bugs, bug-fixes, request for features, etc in the forum. Once it is done, you guys can design additional skins, which if you submit to me, I will add it to the official collection. Wishes Sai Update: Checkout this menu: Contents >> Settings >> Skin

Procrastination !

Sai K. B.

Article: The most impressive people I know are all terrible procrastinators. So could it be that procrastination isn't always bad? Most people who write about procrastination write about how to cure it. But this is, strictly speaking, impossible. There are an infinite number of things you could be doing. No matter what you work on, you're not working on everything else. So the question is not how to avoid procrastination, but how to procrastinate well. (visit the link for rest of the article)

Expereince of Working in a Start-up

Nimesh Bhandari

Hi All, This is Nimesh IITG Mech batch of 2001. I am right now in IIM Ahmedabad and would be passing out soon. Few days back we had a angel investor coming to our campus and we had a very wonderful conversation with him. I have always had an enterpreneurial ambition but always felt that it is better to have some experience before hand. To me consulting appeared to be the logical choice because of diverse set of experiences. The Angel investor was of the opinion that consulting companies are the wrong choice for getting that experience. He said startups is the way to go. Does it makes sense to take that amount of risk ? How is the experience like working in a startup ? Does anyone with a MBA background worked in startup ? How can i get to know about startup? any site ?? It would be great if I get to know your opinions on that!! Thanks, Nimesh

Sai K. B.

For people not satisfied with traditional units conversion tools. Useful for engineers, especially in USA, as they have to constantly juggle between english and metric systems ! It is more matlab like and can convert arbitrary expression into arbitrary expression. Expression can include addition, multiplocations, exponents and even user defined functions ! Try it !
