The winner was:

    Aman Sharma of VII-C

The Class VII performance in UT was abysmal compared to Class VI’s (who would have easily beaten their senior counterparts).

Next event will be for Class IX on Monday.

Don’t panic!

It’s just something I cooked up. Not the final logo or anything. Everyone who can, please try and make logo(s) for Exun 2004.

No, we didn’t win anything because for winning, there’s this important clause that one must participate in the event, and we missed out on that little clause.

When we reached St. Xavier’s School after a 90-minute drive (and a lot of direction-asking on part of Mr. Goswami), we were told by their teachers that we cannot participate as we did not send our registration by Fax. We knew of this, and hence, two days earlier Hema Jain Ma’am had called up their Head of Operations and informed him of the situation. He had told her that on-the-spot registrations were allowed and that we need not send the form now. However, their teachers there did not care to listen. I called up Hema Ma’am and explained to her what was going on around here; since all their teachers had scurried inside, we got their President to talk to her on the phone.

This person was extremely rude to her on the phone and denied that their members gave any such information to her (outright lying), telling her that she must have misunderstood and that it’s not really his problem.

There was no longer any reason to stay there and talk to these people. I have never seen a school so insolently and disrespectfully treat a guest school, not to mention their teacher. They certainly haven’t heard the “Mehman Bhagwan� saying. I would like to request our Principal to ban their school from participating in not only all Exun events this year, but also all DPS events in general (and if Mukesh Sir permits, I’ll write her a letter myself).

I would also like to make a final note that at least three people, namely Sanchit Bhatia, Arjun Agarwala and Shrinjan Khosla had sat and prepared hard for this competition and it was very painful to disappoint them in such a way.

As was requested, I have prepared a schedulefor 2004, though the date is still uncertain. the Word document is up for download and may be found here, under the entry “proposed schedule”. I would have put it up here, but I don’t have access to exunclan’s ftp password and tripod does not allow remote loading.

Is your pocket money not able to keep up with your expenditure? Now here’s an idea to utilize your brains for a ‘good cause’.

During the summer vacations I got to know about a site acting as an interface between programmers and buyers from around the world. Buyers (reffered to as webmasters on the site) post their projects on this site and programmers (like me) get paid for what we like to do best.

On my first project, I got $90 for a couple of days work. The amount (though quite a sum for me) was very small according to the webmaster I worked with!

The payment method was also very convenient. The site (namely Scriptlance) charged $2 for sending the cheque to my home and $5 as a commission. The commision was not a problem as the webmaster paid it for me!

My project was related to Flash Animation. But there are various other categories of projects that are present such as WebSite Designing, Flash Animation, PHP, Data Entry, Search Engine Optimisation, Content Writing etc. Webmasters post their projects on the site and lots of programmers bid on the project. Then the webmaster chooses the programer he thinks is the best and pays him to do the job.

Winning of the bid is a very important and not so easy task and having your own site is a great advantage (as I found to my expense).

Now to get more details and to start earning straight away all you have to do is to sign up (free)with Scriptlance by following the link given below : 

www.scriptlance.com

The biggest reason for getting quite a good sum for small projects is that most webmasters are of US origin and they count there money in dollars. Even if we get a cool Rs 5000, they see it as just $100!

I don’t know how many of you know about freelancing, but I hope that those who don’t, don’t think that I am joking.

Hoping freelancing won’t reduce the involvement of Exun members with the club,

Today, the first day of Domain Square Gaming has concluded, and I’m proud to announce that the

players were fantastic. Eventhough the response from Class 6 was abysmal, those ten kids who came

played much better than expected.

Let’s cut to the chase. The results are (in order of winning):

1. Suvansh Vedi
   
2. Bhavani Shankar Bhandari
   
3. Anirban Sarkar
   

The aim was to get 50 frags first.

Class VII is next on Friday,

Big PS:

I just forgot to mention the names of the organisers in the entry, and as you can guess, without them this event would have been nothing at all. Quite a handful of people turned up to help. Here are the names of the Domain Square members who organised the event:

• Manas Gautam (IX)
  
• Srajan Mani Rastogi (IX)
  
• Rasagy Sharma (X)
  
• Souvik Das Gupta (XII)
  

Special thanks go to Siddharth Sinha (XII-I) who helped immensely during the event, just as much, or more than some of the Domain Square members.

This is in reply to Sir’s recent request pertaining to the use of alternate names on exunlog. First off, I have no intention of keeping my name secret, but it must be realised that my blogger account has my name listed as “Azgez” and not Nisheeth and I do not wish to change that. I will therefore, in my attempt to to comply to the request, sign off as Nisheeth everytime I post anything. Blogger will however, still say that the post was ” posted by Azgez”.

Sincerely,

Nisheeth.

The dates have been decided, the rules have been finalised and Registration has begun.

See you at D[2],
