My Variable looks

Recently tried picasa 3.5 and itz image search feature . Before i move on , a brief about image search .Picasa searches for all images on ur computer and if it finds any "faces" in the pic , it groups the "similar" faces and and put them in "unnamed"album .You can then name the person in the pic .and from thereon all the images having that person will automatically be put in the persons album . Well i must say google does its work quite well .Obviously no algorithm can be flawless , but the way it performed really took me by surprise. its amazing . for more detail got ot :- http://picasa-readme.blogspot.com/ http://googlephotos.blogspot.com/ Now my own experience of picasa 3.5.Picasa scanned and brought so many people's images,new faces , i never thought i had those pics .I have about 80 people's album , and about 1600 pics in unnamed album!!!(i never thought i had so many different pics of people) . SO next came the turn of seeing my pics found by

PerFect Engineer

Studying at the last moment for midsems this time ,thanx to the placement season , reminded me of an interesting incident told by my friend. There was a presentaion in his college by some successful(!!!) Software Engineer(forgot his name ),an Ex-IITian . He started his speech asking about the definition of an engineer,and how should we be as a prospective engineer in college. Breaking the silence of the PPT hall, A student stood up(very Kapil like) . According to him being a student,we should be obedient , attend all the classes. Study all the subjects with due sincerity before hand and bla..bla..bla.. .Well every thing u can associate with a student like Kapil.After he was done , Engineer said "These are exactly waht u should never do :-P".Every one broke to laughter. Studying at the last moment , handling the pressure of doing assignments(usually just before exams :P) , multitasking actually transforms us into students to engineers . Engineering colleges,apart from studies

Cars and Cars Every Where

Just came back from college , after first midsem .Its not that,my preparation for tomorrows exam are complete.In fact i have to start studying the DCS .So this post gonna be short and be prepared for miskates ;) .After Exam Taking my scooty out of parking i noticed the parking was jam packed with cars, even overcapacity .There were hardly some bikes in parking . 2-3 yrs back (wen i was in 1-2nd yr) this was not the case .Cars were not that in plenty. Even it was kinda cool to own a car . This reminds me of a dialogue from a movie .I state it in present context."If every other person comes to college in car , that means 50% of students are cool . If all are cool , that means actually no one is cool". If the situation keep on continuing like this ,i.e. students taking cars to college or getting cars as their first gift for college, May be it would be hard to find parking space in college.Then may be ,10 yr old scootys like mine will be a cool thing to own :D .lol .
