Back to school!


Its back to school for me. Fall 2008 semester classes started today. Feels odd attending class after a year!

The university is huge.. take my word, it is insanely huge! The campus is spread over an unimaginable area. ECE and CS departments are given step-motherly treatment by separating them from the main campus. Not that its bad or something but its away from the library which houses Xbox 360s and PS3s :D lol...

Few pics of my university:







Clockwise from top:

1) The ECE/CS building at Centennial Campus where my classes are conducted.

2) The famous tall Bell tower of NCSU.

3) That building is our library. Yes, you saw it right... its 7 floors tall!

@ T
Yep, it sure is a heaven. But when projects and assignments start its gonna be tuff. Par kasht karne se hi krishna milta hai :D hehe.. NCSU is a tech freak's dream come true.

@ Rajbir
You can apply too, in the field of Science or engineering or literature or any freaking course you want to. The program is very diverse here.

@ Cad
Lol.. for sure. Watch out for more pics. The firangs are mostly in the main campus (where library is situated). At EC/CS buildings in the Centennial Campus there are only Desis.. only desis! An American feels that he's in some other country in this campus :D lol..

@ Ashwin
Watch out for more pics.

And did I mention that everywhere (in the campus/at our home) we haf a minimum 10mbps wireless net connection?!?!! hehe... but sadly no time to fully utilize it! :(

My iNav Remix - iPhone and iPod Touch UI

Image
My iTouch looked drab. It was screaming for a new UI, a new fresh face and so I got to work! Once a UI developer always a UI developer (no matter what platform :D). I took iNav and modded it to my liking - integrating widgets, editing the main menu, revamping the dock among numerous other things. I present you the iNav ANi Remix! Haf a look at the pics floating around this post. Kudos to the base iNav :) This UI has been customized for iPod Touch, however by placing the Phone and Text/SMS icons this interface can be converted to an iPhone UI. For those of you who dunno how to install it, I'm gonna quote the procedure. I'm too lazy to type :P Btw, before you proceed make sure you haf a jailbroken iPhone/iTouch for this (obviously!). If you are comfortable with SSH'ing into your device and uploading files then don't bother reading this tutorial! :D [Guide] iPhone/iPod Touch with 2.2.1 Firmware (Tested, might work with older firmware) Categories V2.23 (Tested, Might Work ...

Mac4Lin ver.1.0 Release Candidate

Image
Mac4Lin is back! This is the version 1.0 Release Candidate. Some components are still under development. Currently the shell script is not able to set the GDM theme, cursor theme, sounds, emerald theme. They need to be manually set. Also components like Firefox3, Thunderbird theme, awn theme/plugins etc. are still under development. The Mozilla themes may not be stable. Hence use the non-core components of Mac4Lin at your own risk. Documentation is still in the pipeline. I decided to release the RC anyway so that patrons can start using it and update to the stable version when development is complete. Whats new: Mac4Lin v1.0 RC - 9th September, 2008 New! Automated Installer in the form of a shell script New GDM theme Supports the newest version of GNOME and Xfce New Mozilla themes specifically built for Mac4Lin Adium style AWN status icons for Pidgin Mac style scrollbars, menus Other tweaks in GTK theme Adium sounds for Pidgin New usplash Keeping up the tradition I'm including the ...
