Man this is just too bad!
I have not blogged in quite a while. I have been too lazy i guess. There have been many things to blog about, but still i did not. But just now i heard something that purged the lazy soul out of my body and here i am blogging again.
Our college hostels are undergoing renovation after a long time. It was supposed to happen last year, but due to some college politics(which also cost our registrar his job) , it was not done. This year it was started in the right earnest. Now i hear that there have been several “ghost” sightings in and around my hall, hall 5. Workers digging the ground found an urn full of bones. The washerman saw a lady wearing a white saaree in the night, and an old man never seen before turns up from no where and asks for an onion!! Really freaky stuff. Considering that i spent many days in isolation in hall 5 after vacations in hall 5, i wonder why they did not honour me with their presence. Because of all this, renovation in hall 5 has stopped i heard.
There is another theory, my theory. Many students, around 100, stayed back in the hostels for vocational training, projects etc. The college authorities were desperate to purge out the students because they were hindering the renovation work. I suspect that this whole ghost drama has been hotched up by the college authorities to finally get students to vacate hostels, and i am pretty sure it will work too.
All the best to our administrators-cum-actors!!
Dream come true (partially)
I have finally found the intersection of the 3 sets of interest i have, 1) open source 2) digital image processing/OCR 3) Indic scripts. Have been hacking Tesseract lately.
New Website coming soon
Shouvik Ray is working on the new LUG website. As soon as it is up, will blog about it. He is a JSP pro, and this time we shall use drupal. It will be great for sure; a professional website a proper LUG deserves.
NTP+LUG NITDGP
To add another feather to the Lug server cap, Shreyank has setup India’s second NTP server on the LUG server. The minimum valid score to be officially added to the Asisa pool is 5 and currently it is operating at 12.5 This feature was requested by Arindam Ghosh, and i had requested Shreyank to implement it. Lets see how this goes.
