Google whacking.

Google whacking is finding a two-word phrase that has only one result on Google. Furthermore, the result must also be defined by Google. Some google whacks:-

  • ambidextrous scallywags
  • illuminatus ombudsman
  • squirreling dervishes

Google whacking may seem easy, but it is not easy by any means. It is highly unlikely that someone can find a Google Whack even after weeks of effort.

Exun 2004

We are planning to organise Exun 2004 on the last weekend of October, 2004. HCL is sponsoring the same. Kindly give your final suggestions with respect to organisation of Exun 2004. We have to finalise Invitation and Registration Process with in this week only.

All exun members have to contribute to make it a great event – the Exun2004.

Modem 2004 – Logic Programming

Modem 2004, Modern School, Vasant Vihar – few people participated in this event ie only in progamming and gaming. Mainly because the exams were too near. The prgramming questions were simple and I expect all questions will be solved by the exun programmers. Infact two out of them must have been done by all exun programmers as we have asked these questions in various tests. People interested in knowing the questions may download it from here.

I would like to apologise for being so late in posting the questions, actually I didnot want to type out four pages. So today I scanned it from school- but unfortunately there were no floppies to transfer the scanned file to the HCL computer, and it also doesnot have any network connection. So I had to type out the entire quention paper. And so dont blame me if there are any errors as I am not in a good mood right now.

Meetings

Greetings All Exun Members

This is to inform all about a pan-Exun meeting which shall be held after the exams i.e. on 12th October, Tuesday

This meeting shall take up matters related to our Symposium plus any suggestions or questions which might be held in the minds of other Exun members

THIS is to inform all senior members i.e. members in Class 11 or 12 and all Junior Coords and there are only 3 of them

There shall be a meeting of these people on 11th October, Monday.

Thanking Everyone

–Gursartaj, Junior Coordinator

MSM Event – Clarifications

Most exun members will argue that this entry should have been a comment but I think that the Presidents thoughts should be displayed with some pomp and fanfare. Anyways,back to the main point, The Mount Saint Mary’s School Computers + Economics Event , as the name suggests has 2 genres of events- Economics and Computers. Exun has full control on the Computers Events which are

  • Programming
  • Flash
  • Web Designing
  • 3D Graphics

We have Partial control over the ‘Grey Areas’ which are

  • Quiz
  • Symposium

We have to consider the Eco Dept about quiz members. Symposium topic selection, speaker etc will be done by the Economics Department. We can most probably select someone for Visual Aids

The Rest of the events are out of reach from exun. If you want to take part in ‘Only Eco’ or ‘Grey Area’ Events, contact anyone of the following teachers

  • Ms. Renu Nayar
  • Ms. Amrita Dutta
  • Ms. Geeta Kumar

These three will be able to help you. One more thing, reiterating your interest in the comments section for taking part in any event will not boost your chances (Bribing Helps a lot though !! 😉 )

Spokesperson Auditions

The recent spate of Group Discussions, and Computer Symposiums, and what I have seen that come to these events has prompted me to hold an audition for further positions of Spokesperson, Exun.

There are now a lot of competitions where you are required to SPEAK about computers, and lets face it, it is communication technology after all, so you should be able to frikkin’ communicate about it.

Anyhow, requirements for the position are:

a)A working knowledge of the tech-world, and all recent happenings

b)A more than working knowledge of the tech-scene in India

c)Fluency in speech (this can be worked on though, believe me, I was a terrible speaker)

d)Lastly, and most importantly, confidence on stage. You aren’t anything without that, cos no one will listen.

Open auditions to all exun members will be held by yours truly sometime in the week after the exam, depending on how many people show interest.

With the permission of my Honourable Presidents, I would like to in fact make it an open audition to all interested, rather than a restricted exun member audition.

Das Ish All

Your friendly neighbourhood SpokesBlah!
