About Sys-Admins here in IIIT-Hyd…..
Name Of the Variant: triplitaceous-hyderabadux sysadminux sux
Arch Nemesis(in desc order): Dc++ and its variants, Rapidshare , failing routers, spam ……
Usual characteristics:-
1).openly plotting how to block rapidshare,megaupload.
2). silently mourning why dc++ was introduced in college.(rumors has it that some fainted at its mentioning)
3). extraordinary inquisitiveness in current work when student comes to server room to report a problem…
4). sending mail with unprecedented enthu to all when network is abt to go down for an hour(again rumors has it they fight for this opportunity…)
5). searching for notepad in linux(i am serious abt this….)
Rumors have it that they are usually spotted in a 5 mm cm radius around the server room and have mysterious expressions on their faces while they are outside…also the server room itself is the meeting place of a secret society and this is the reason why NO ADMITTANCE board is there.
So what do you do when you find one : hmm i leave that decision to yourself whether u throw your books and run, or act fainted or just get used to them…..
enough with the SysAdmin(Actually iam feeling nervous that my mail account will be blocked )….
today i was reading Times Of India and found some interesting headlines…
1 )Norway has a princess who claims that she can talk to angels(bah..now even princess are doing it……). lets say the Princess comes to IIIT hoping for a customer who pays her to talk with angels……
Princess: (*Holding a banner outside IIIT with her agent*) talk with your favorite angel,talk with your favorite angel for $500. it is dead cheap….
Me: Why would i want to talk with one….
Princess: now you are being too pushy, ok since you are in college and a potential customer i will explain the different options…
Me: errr(*contemplating to run away*)OK….but be quick, i have a class…
Princess: for $499.99 you can get to talk with 5 angels of your choice and as an extra i can let you talk with one demon and will tell you abt your future and you can win a year long edition of inter-galactic weekly talk-with-your-favorite-Extraterrestrial featuring spirits,aliens and deranged humans…
Me: (*k…let me join in the game*)so what if i want to have a tele-conference with them….
Princess: That will be no problem but it will cost you an extra $100 and you bring your own laptop…..
Me
*k….now answer this wacko.. *) what if i want to have a round table conference with god and satan…..
Princess: thinks for a lot of time,calling her agent, orders him “Tell Mom and Dad to come!!!”
By this time i am already running the hell out of that place……
2)A formula to find best place to live in the World(what is the world coming to…):The formula is
OS * (SR + N-1) + (SV + MV) + (3*F ) + (4*(E-CL+1))+ (2*T) ……
OS :- Opposite Sex…
SR+N :- Shops, Restaurants, NightClubs….
SV+MV : sports Venues + Music Venues….
F :- Family…..
E :- Earning Potential….
CL:- Cost Of Living….
T:- Transport….
This was awesome, though i personally did not try it out…..
