chronicles of a weekend warrior.

"We’ll all feel better by Wednesday”, – 1949

I love coffee, I love tea,
I love the girls, but they’re mean to me.

I love Saturday, I love Sunday,
But how could anyone ever love Monday?

Let’s make a scientific analysis,
Let’s diagnose this Monday paralysis.

Well, you’ve suffered an overdose of sunburn;
You must blister and peel before you un-burn.

For junk your muscles could all be sold for,
From engaging in games you are now too old for.

You’re bloated from a diet of buns and hamburgers,
Chickenburgers, cheeseburgers, nutburgers, clamburgers.

Your hair may be brushed, but your mind’s untidy,
You’ve had about seven hours’ sleep since Friday,

No wonder you feel that lost sensation;
You’re sunk from a riot of relaxation.

What you do on week ends, you claim to adore it.
That’s why Labor Day is a red-letter news day –
Blue Monday doesn’t come until Tuesday.

Interesting stuff

what I have realized while renting a place is that ppl don't have enough time to checkout every location neither do we have enough info about every place ...
Recently, saw a few advert about Sulekha on TV, from where came across an interesting way to put your house on rent or get a house on rent http://www.propiq.com/. It would be interesting to see how such stuff helps in changing the dynamics of the real estate industry ...

from; the lady of lake

Soldier, rest thy warfare is o’er,
Dream of fighting fields no more;
Sleep the sleep that knows no breaking,
Morn of toil, nor night of waking
 
...
 
 
Huntsman, rest! thy chase is done,
Think not of the rising sun,
For at dawning to assail ye,
Here no bugles sound reveille.

To engineer is human!

So you are an engineer, and still want to sleep with a clear conscience. 
 
 
 
All you need is a really bad memory and a large peg of whiskey

bio-genesis(mildly gross --mildly funny)

how did god create life?
 
He took a fridge stored some milk in it and forgot to turn it on.
 
what were his first word after opening the fridge?
 quid fragro?...Fiat lux.
 
whats that smell...turn on the lights.

heard on HBO

Al Pacino's speech to the team in Any Given Sunday. "You find out life's this game of inches, so is football. Because in either game -- life or football -- the margin for error is so small. I mean, one half a step too late or too early and you don't quite make it. One half second too slow, too fast and you don't quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break of the game, every minute, every second. On this team, we fight for that inch. On this team, we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when add up all those inches, that's gonna make the fucking difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!"

There is another one at the end of Scent of Women ... does anyone have it?

Metacanning.

 it somewhere
 
A canner, exceedingly canny, one morning remarked to his granny,
A canner can can
Anything that he can;
But a canner can't can a can can he?

cheesy sci fi jokes.

you wont find these anywhere else

character 1 :SDE2 s/w dev engineer-2
character 2:HAL, Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic computer 20000. A
highly evolved AI. Basically, a computer that can talk :P.IT prefers to call himself (h)AL

THE MACHINE

sde2: hey AL! I see some strange h/w lying around. what are you making?

hal: Its a time machine...

sde2: oh! really! does it work ? can it send us in past?

hal: actually the set of sequence that would trigger the reversal of
entropy of the subsystem, will in turn trigger the set of events that would reverse the reversal of it. so you see...

(interrupting hal)

sde2:  ...<chuckles> so it doesnt work?

hal: its a prototype...


===========


THE TRAVEL

sde2: hey AL! computer ki duniya mein naya kya? <grins>

hal: hey nice to see you, I fixed the entropy equations!

sde2:hmm ... the what?

hal: now the time machine should work. we can now travel couple of minutes
back in time!

sde2: oh! nice...

hal: do you want to be the first one to try it with me ?

sde2: err ...now?...

voice in background: initiating time travel...

sde2: already ! :-s

voice in background: 1...2...3

sde2: hey AL! computer ki duniya mein naya kya? <grins>

hal: hey nice to see you, I fixed the entropy equations!

read it somewhere

"Pi goes on and on and on ...
And e is just as cursed.
I wonder: Which is larger
When their digits are reversed? "
