Club Day
ON 23rd December 2005 , a "Club Day" has cropped up in which the members of their respective clubs have to show what they have done from the starting of the year . The clubs can hold Exhibitions , competition on that day . I am not sure whether it is an inter-club competition but it sounds like as if it is one . So , we should start working for it from now on .
A small list of what we have done is right here -
-Symposium
-Sent students to other schools competitions
-Maintining schools website
Right now , I couldnt think of others .
And yes , one more thing . The day I receieved this information , I receieved a bomb too . Sanchit and Uma and Benjamin and other students of Board classes refused to work for this day . They said that they will be busy with their pre-boards . Is this thing holds valid for all of you . I am asking you Shashank , Ayush , Roshan , Ankur , Rahul in particular ?
Force Fest 2005
I am taking the liberty to post the results of the Force Fest 2005.
*Quiz:Needless to say our team came first in quiz.We were leading by a huge margin of 120:75.Hats off to Roshan.He was brilliant.I take no credit for myself...Even with the questions that I knew ,before I could gather my thoughts and open my mouth he would be ready with the answers.I did learn a lot though..That quiz was like an insight into the mind of a quizzer and how its supposed to work.Now I know what are the areas I need to build upoun.
*Crossword: Alas.. we couldn't make it to the finals.The scedule was totally screwed up with Programming and S/W display clashing with Quiz and Crossword.By the time Roshan dashed off the questions for quiz and did the programming,He and Ankur were left with 2o minutes to solve the crossword..:-(
*Digital Imaging:Didn't make it.None of the people willing to go to this event had the required level of expertise in Photoshop.
*WebD:Didn't make it.Appearently Shakti and Prashanth who went for this event got to the venue an hour late 'cause they didn't know the event had started
*Cartoon Making:Two 7thies Puneet and some other guy came third in cartoon making :-) This was pretty unexpected...new talent coming in.
*Flash:This event was for me a total fiasco.We had to make an animated intro of a F1 racing team(I have very little knowledge in this field.).Me and Prashant had a err.. clash of ideologies.I wanted a sleek greyscale look with minimalistic use of graphics while Prashanth wanted that bright yellow sky-Lime green grass-smiling faces look with comic sans font.When we finally settled for an idea it totally backfired (Realised that what I was trying to achieve would take a some amount of brainy scripting or a well planned strategy or some peace and quiet..which certainly could not be achieved in 25 minutes.)Then again started from scratch and believe me whatever productive work we did was in the last 15 minutes.Anyway..
*Cadet Quiz:Didn't make it to the finals.We really should work on getting the juniors prepared in the field of quizes,graphics and stuff.
*Gaming:We didn't make it to the finals.According to Shakti his computer crashed when he was leading and hence he fell back :-(
*Got a few ideas for our symposium after visiting this one.Can't write it here though :-)
DynamiX 2005 Respawned Dates
This is to inform those who do not already know that DynamiX 2005R is being held on the 15th & 16th of November, 2005 NOT 8th & 9th. This is because a team of our students are leaving for Hyderabad for a National-level programming competition and that is on exactly the same dates. Lets work for a great event!
PS: There is still a censor on discussion of event-details on public places such as this blog. Nothing except stupid stuff like dates & letters shall be here. Thank You.

Virus 2005
Nice event, but went a bit too far and read too much into the matrix.. something I don't really appreciate. But the coordination was pretty good, and overall level was okay.
3 out of 5 programming questions were pretty easy. One was an output finding thing, where they put up a complex thing like main() calls f4(), f4() calls some f1, f2, f3 repeatedly 6-7 times. And each, f1, f2 & f3 called functions f6, f11, f12, f13 which wrote to the screen with some letters. Then main() called f5, which again called f1,f2,f3 and each of them called those writing functions. That was to be done on paper, and we did parallel work, me working on that question.. making all the passes and drawing out the output, while Roshan started working on a program that required you to convert a number of a given base (b/w 2-16) to a specified base (b/w 2-16). We both got it nearly the same time, and therefore very soon, we were skipping ahead with a lead of 200+300. Then we got one more simple question out of the way, that required you to convert a string of characters into its binary equivalent & also the complement (replacing 0 with 1 & vice versa) of that. One question to find a perfect arrangement of 8 humans in an 8x8 grid so that no machine can kill them (there were some complex rules which I'm in no shape to explain.. nearly dropping off to sleep). Anyhow, it sort of didn't work out, and we opted for a viva, since at that point, we were tied with Frank Anthony for 1st at 650 points. That guy didn't agree with our logic for that, and we tried a last shot, and gave the viva (logic explanation) for a program that will print the calender for any specified year assuming 1st Jan, 0 AD = Sunday. We got 50 points for that, and hence we won.
We found out that Shakti Mehra of 9B won the prize for the best interjector in Debate. Good work! Quiz.. as usual we reached the finals, and after initially lagging behind MIS by about 5 points, we made a comeback and ended 1st with double the points of the second prize.. 110 to 55.
Rest of the events were nice. To sum it up, mine & Roshan's team participated in quiz & prog and won both, the other events I think except debate we didn't get any. DPS Noida had sent a mammoth team, and obviously won the overall.
Special mention: Roshan was adjudged as "The ONE", in short the best participant, which was true.. who led the competition perfectly. And he got a special air ticket from Air Sahara for a back & forth journey to any place in India. :-) Kewl!

Now, from classes 9, 10, & 11, I need people for:
Sym, where you have to talk on stuff, stuff like Social Relevance of IT, India - Outsourcing Hub of the world etc. Check out Rules to see the other topics.
Design_Matrix: A photoshop DG event.
Ad Enact: 4 ppl have to think up an ad in 40 mins or something and act.
Sloganomics: Think up a whacky slogan.
And one more programmer.
There's no sense in sending a half-team.. there'll be no chance of winning the overall that way. Especially since Sym has a lot of points... more than the others.
The Variations. See?

Yahoo AddressGuard
I discovered a powerful feature "AddressGuard" in Yahoo.
Although it does not directly protect our ID directly but it creates an alias and when you get the alias spammed , simply delete it .
I think pitiable creatures who are supposed to give their ID's on various websites and that too openly , must use this feature .
