New Semester : Old Whining
The title says it all. The new semester, the same monster, has appeared again. And like all others, I hate the school to start. Classes, assignments, exams – the same old story of a student life. Add the extra TA load, sprinkle some careless advisor, lousy research spice to that and you got the standard graduate student life. Summer was good and not just because of the weather. Well, that just reminds me that I had a lot of fun this summer; went to several places, visited old friends and made new ones. As a side effect … I am broke; I mean I am badly broke. The bank account balance has almost dropped to null. I pay this semester’s tuition differential and the process is complete. Oh! No! I forgot about the credit card balance.

The Tech Blog
As some of you might have noticed already, I created a new blog names 'Techie Titbits'. It is about technical titbits that I encounter over my journey through internet mostly and some others otherwise. It is not really about new breakthroughs or about never-seen-before information. It is several interesting and useful stuff put together.
Often these are issues that I had faced myself. I googled the problems, checked relevant forums or consulted offline resources to solve them. And then I thought, why not put them in one place so that others might be saved the pain of doing the same research. Also, I figured out that there were a few problems that I encountered more than one time. Specially related to coding. Say, how do you connect to a MySQL server using php? I once did some php coding and had figured it out. Recently, I was writing a new php code and I realized that my memory had failed me. So this blog is also like a archive for technical issues-solutions for me. Hope you enjoy it too.
Let me know if you have any suggestions. Anything related to the content, design or whatever. If you are having some technical issue recently, tell me about it too. I might help you solve it. Or if you already have the solution, I can post it here with due acknowledgment.
