Today after a long time I woke up at 7 and attended all 4 hours, thanks to Tojin’s advice to go to bed yesterday when I was thinking of coming to cc. Power system we had discussions about over voltage and lightning. She asked us to refer lightning. Then Economics was like always but today I sat in the first bench with Shankar. I guess I’ll be sitting there for some time, surely not for iDrives or iSysstems.
In NSS meeting we discussed about Tsunami relief and our possible involvement. Also we might have to postpone Garland to some other date because on 30th we have Campart, an intra year competition for cultuarl events by college union.
I’m trying to get Dilpu’s NVIDIA card working. Shyam also couldn’t get it done before with 2.6 kernel because debian dvd from pcquest does not comes with 2.6.8 source. So he now went with 2.4 kernel and he told us to try downloading 2.6 kernel.
Now Tojin is also started supporting Linux openly. It is a very good morale booster and it may help some others also to come up. We had heated argument as every day about Microsoft and Linux.
Tomorrow we are going for our job treat. Last time our class gave the biggest treat with ppl from all branches coming up.
Today I burned two cds of GNU win Nov 30 edition, which has windows versions of free softwares. It is intended as starting point to GNU/Linux migration.
Tojin and Dilpu had heated arguments as always. This time over Dilpu’s comment about Evolution in ANN class and the discussion there after. Dilpu wanted to discuss about Evolution and he told Tojin is not supporting evolution. [Tojin has been reading about evolution for a long time and he wanted me to download answersingenesis.org] Tojin didn’t say anything about it in the class (later he reasoned that he feared he might lose his sessionals had he objected Padma Kumari madam’s views). Barath had a stong view against evolution. He argued that ‘My father is not a monkey, nor my fathers’s father nor his and so on. There should be some point at which both co exist and still there are monkeys’. It seemed a strong argument. Later Shreeni pointed out that he believes in a hybrid theory where both can be included. I don’t believe that humans evolved from monkeys but I do agree that humans are subject to changes over a long time. But humans are evolved from humans only.
That’d be for today.
