Four exams, two of which were “Science of Living Systems” and “Environmental Science” (Who thought we would have to study these in college! :/ ). And the other two were Dynamics and Transform Calculus.
Although, at the very beginning, I was pretty afraid of Dynamics, (Analysing moving parts always freaked me out!), I turned out to love Dynamics, surprisingly! Transform Calculus, has always been great!
But I guess, the emphasis should be on the fact that, these papers were within a span of 72 hours. And in quick succession. Morning Afternoon, + 24 hours and +36 hours. Which was just bad!
But somehow, it’s over, and we are up and running again.
Right about now, almost everyone started the countdown...

Often called, the best language to develop web applications, Rails, has pretty much been a stranger to me, much to my disbelief (at not being able to install a simple package on my machine, even after asking so many other people) and unhappiness (I really do wanted to get on board, with the language that was being used in SO many web applications, starting right from GitHub! [ Which is probably the best web application out there! ]).
But now I have it installed. Yay!
Once I installed Ruby, from source, (because apt-get didn’t work, and I didn’t wanna debug.) Fingers-crossed, I fired up the first command. rails new blog.
I had a lot of ideas...

And he knows what’s going on here. Having recently completed Season 1, and appalled at the fact that Carrie was fired from the CIA, because of something that was true, but just didn’t play out as she had put it, and having seen the second episode of the second season, I believe, that this is Carrie’s redemption.
The SD Card, containing the Video that Brody had recorded thinking that he is going to die due to the suicide bomb, is now with Saul. And although, I have never seen what’s...

And finally, Hyde is setup. Now, the scene looks like this. Jekyll, powering the blog, Hyde, powering everything that gets rendered, and controls how it renders, the posts themselves hosted on GitHub (of course!), and me, pushing the posts from my machine!
No Web Browsers, No Usernames, and/or Passwords! jekyll is great. I wish I had taken the time to set it up sooner.
The setup was not really the most painless one that I have ever done, but it was good. One of the major problems which I faced was simply that the post.url was not being calculated properly, because, the function itself returned the URL of the post, but prefixed it with a /,...

Moving from Wordpress to this interface was smooth, and life does become easier, when you don’t have to open your browser to post on your blog.
I am pretty sure that the journey to full setup is going to be rough. I just hope that I reach the full setup stage soon!
