A Joke in today’s HT City
In computer heaven:
Management is from Intel.
Design and construction from apple(G5 rocks)
Marketing by Microsoft.
Gateway provides support.
Dell determines pricing.
In computer hell:
Management from apple.
Microsoft does design and construction.
IBM handles marketing
Support is from Packard-Bell.
Intel sets the price.
Anyways, the joke relies more on the person’s sense of humour and wishing all lenient teachers a Happy Teacher’s Day.

First of all happy teachers day to all teachers. This is for those who didinot attend the senior assembly today. It was real fun. Of course i am going to talk about the best part only… The interview of teachers of computer department- Mr Mukesh Kumar, Ms Hema Jain and Mr Mohitendra Dey. I must say that the questions were really well framed.
The reply: That is a very tough question to answer….[really long pause]…that is really a difficult question. ……..[pause]Please ask me some other question [quietly]. [Mrs. Chona prompts from back stage!!] Maybe male teachers do not join this proffession because women
are the better half.
The reply:I think… when students pass out of school [she is probably relieved], and they come back when they’re well-settled and invite us for their marriages, i guess that’s when I really feel good about being a teacher.
The reply:The only serials i watch on TV…mostly what I watch on TV is cartoon network. You probably won’t believe it but that is how it is. A character on TV I relate with…. that would be… my favourite character is mickey mouse. [crowd laughs!!] Yes! Mickey Mouse and Tintin, maybe.
One more question whose answer was related to a computer teacher was asked to Mrs. Meenu Kanwar: If you were to compete for a beauty pageant, say Miss Chandigarh, which teacher in this school do you think will be your toughest competition?
The reply: Actually, I have been Miss Chandigarh earlier, [crowd cheers a lot!] and now if I have to compete my biggest competitor would be….[???GUESS WHO?? Obviously a computer teacher]
Note: The replies of the questions have been recalled from memory and thus maynot be 100% accurate.
Does anybody know of good web hosts (free or paid but a free host is preferref) providing PHP support. I also need support for CGI and MySql. Monthly bandwidth is also an important consideration for me. Please tell me about any good hosts.
Note: I don’t want a freeservers.com type of subdomain. I own a domain and I want my website to be hosted.
Today my team(me,Ishaan, Aritra) as well as 2 other teams from our school went for a Quiz at Carmel Convent named QUIZOTTICA. By sheer luck we lost out in the semis as all sitter questions were going to our neighbours. Bhavya’s team came 2nd, and first, you can guess! MIS.
Some questions were nice computer related questions. Here they go:-
Which animated cartoon was made entirely on Flash?(sitter)
Which word in latin means ‘First Glue’? (we got the second part of the word right which was ‘col’. We said Fevicol. The answer- Protocol)
Just another question:-
Which instrument’s name literally means ‘made of clay’?(everyone knew this)Mridangam
Anyway it was a pretty good quiz, could have been better, if we won something.

As Dhruv had metioned, it was a very unexpected win as only 7 of us had participated in 4 events. He’s also told you the results so i’m not going all over them again. The programming event surprisingly had a 10 minute prelimnary round where we had to answer 14-15 logic based questions and 15 schools were selected. The main event was for ane and a half hours and had 4 questions which you can download by clicking here. The event was not organised in a proper way as the judges didn’t even have sample outputs and would sit and check each output maually or run their program on another PC and check. If any of the junior programmers of Exun want to, they can mail their solutions (C++) to pr@gunnayak.com. Infact, i would like all the class XI Exun Programmers to solve the paper.
Great Event (I’m saying this because we won and not because it was actually a great event!). We won 3 out of the 4 computer related events and bagged the overall First Position for GenX (The computer wing of the event). Prateek and Swati came first in programming, Gursartaj and Abhisheyk came second in the Quiz, and Gursataj and Dhruv (c’est moi) came second in the web designing competion.
A quite unexpected win as the TapsFest is a very large event and our school didn’t take part in most contests, and also because we didn’t know there was a separate computer trophy.
This is also our first overall victory for this academic section.
Hope we making winning a habit!
Congratulations!!! Winners deserve 3 cheers … Great !!! Keep it up for coming events (Mukesh)
