Truth, Computing and Fail

A detailed post about the problematic mindset plaguing our society in general. Now don’t go about calling it a rant, you dunce.

Some recent developments in my college that is gonna reinforce the points outlined in that post:

1. We are being literally threatened to stop carrying mobiles (and for that matter, any kind of gadgets) otherwise some badass ‘Discipline Enforcement Team’ is gonna conduct ‘raids’ and snatch those from us. No logic, no explanation needed. Shoot shoot, bang bang modern day cowboy. I don’t yet understand what is it with that ‘raid’ terminology. Are we some kinda terrorists or anti-socials?

2. I saw a TGMC poster on the department notice board. Till now there hasn’t been no announcement of it, leave alone which faculty member to contact to register for the event. Looks like the authorities are busier trying to enforce ‘discipline’. I also wonder if they tried telling the IBM people that those in charge of the labs and the so called R&D centre(which now is just another magnificent building converted into a bunch of labs) are too eager to head home after 5 pm and that the college thinks students don’t need internet access from midnight to 5 AM. Oh, did I forget to mention that you won’t get a single fuckin day of attendance even if you managed to get to work on some project under that initiative? If someone with a Microsoft internship and another one with a fractured kneecap didn’t manage to get that, what chance do you stand?

All of these just point to a single fact. They abso-fucking-lutely have nothing better to do.

The only positive development: we are being taught syscalls and my friends are taking interest in writing standardized codes and reading the man pages . Only if they made us write the text editor in the Systems Programming lab with ncurses for designing the interface and C instead of just that wretched Turbo C. Yeah, gotoxy() is for losers. Getty?

As for me, I am all tangled up with signals. Classes have been keeping me busy and tired but I hope to get my head around that in a couple of days from now.
