May 29, Birthday of Mr.Sowmy Narayan aka the IronMan :D
His appearance can often be very deceptive,
Yet this lanky man is clever, witty and amusive;
The word that best describes him is uncanny,
For very few can be this geeky and this funny.
It took eighteen years for our paths to cross,
Yet it turned out to be worth the wait;
Now on this special day, I have only one to say,
To one of my closest friends,a happy birthday!
Happy Birthday man!
Who Am I?
I have always wondered who am I.
I am Mario trying to save my Princess.
I am Wayne Rooney trying to shoot past the keeper in Be-A-Pro.
I am the manager of Valencia taking them to an undefeated season in FIFA.
I am Tony Hawks trying to do an ollie and get it into a manual.
I am Hitman trying to get rid of the targets assigned to me.
I am the Emperor of Russia trying to build a mighty army.
I am a programmer.
I am an engineer studying 5 straight hours from e-books.
In short,
I am someone who loves the virtual world.
Think about it. The virtual world almost - almost - gives you everything you want.
I get out of head aches by playing FIFA.
I learn history by playing Age Of Empires.
I learn not to make silly mistakes by playing Warrior Within.
I learnt to accept defeat when there was no other way.
And ya, it helps me get out this college life which sometimes can just get darn boring. The list can go on.
Do not mistake me. I like the real world too. But this just about nearly sums up everything I think.
Call me unrealistic. Call me simplistic. Call me whatever you want. But I believe given a few touches, the virtual world can almost - again only almost - replace my real world.
Give me a PS3, friends to join in FIFA and I can stay awake late nights (late nights as in 3am to 5am) having a lot of fun :)
Capital Problem
Well there I am in my Visual Programming lab doing my semester practicals. I write a simple program. One function call another function
myframe()
{
create(0,"hello");
}
And i get the error:
"create" variable not initialized.
I have no idea what this means. Basic programming skills tells you "create" is a function and not a variable here.
I spend an hour - a full 60 minutes - to find out what's wrong. Then I find the mistake.
Apparently in VC++, create() and CREATE() are the same. But Create() is not. An hour wasted because of a single letter. Darn.
