New to Vista

i’ve been planning from over two monthes to install Vista on my Laptop which is

-1.8 GH 1MB L2 cache Celeron processor

-1.5 GB Ram

-120 GB HD

-Intel Graphics Media Accelerator up to 224 MB (i dont know why this particular number :) )

i took all this time planning because i hate to install windows when my current one is working fine :)

and now even my windows was still working fine but i wanted to get used to it before the faculty year starts.

any way..

it have been about 10 hours since i installed it

it seems nice.

working smoothly till now

ACM

i think every Computer Science student who didnt join his ACM student chapter had lost sooo much

when u c ACMers in a contest u might think that they are playing or what they are doing is easy

OR

u  might think that they are geniuses and they are doing the next impossible and every one of them is the next Einstein

Code Complete 2

you should really have a look on that book

i think it is the best book i’ve ever read till now talking about the SDLC ( Software Development Life Cycle ) but mainly in the construction phase of the SDLC

it shows how to write an ideal program in the non ideal world :P

it explains what to do .. and why would u do so in the design and the coding phases

i really liked it sooo much
