Shifting My Blog Soon…

…not to some other place, but switching over to WordPress from sucky Blogger. I’m sick of Blogger’s restrictive environment, and failure to handle stuff like trackbacks, comments, different media files – and all the whole, being a food service. Just WAITING for the day when my Math Board exam gets over. The blog therefore, might be down temporarily in a few days.

Want one of the reasons why? Here’s an excellent post at Google Operating System on why exactly Blogger’s comment system sucks. Sums it all up, baby.

Tata Crucible 2008 Campus Edition : Delhi Regionals

So then, bang in the middle of my Board exams, 2nd March to be exact, I went to watch the Delhi regionals of the Tata Crucible 2008 Campus Edition. It was Jimi who convinced me to go actually, but I must say I’m pretty lucky to have parents who allowed me to go. It was held at Army Public School, Dhaula Kuan, and the quizmaster was Pickbrain, whose quizzes I have (and won) earlier.

Anyway, the quiz was pretty good, and Harkirat and ‘SMS’ from IMT Ghaziabad won. It was pretty heartening to know that a team from IIT Roorkee had gone all the way to the Chandigarh regionals, got stuck in a traffic jam so missed it there, came to the Delhi regionals JUST FOR THE QUIZ, and qualified for the finals again. THAT, is what I say love for quizzing.

You can get the questions too, some of which have been put up on the NSIT Quiz Club blog. Bigger credit goes to Jimi though, for noting down, and meticulously compiling and recreating all the questions.
