Filling my Technological Void|Learning to Adapt to new Technology…… The Hard Way.

Well now with my exams just amonth away I guess its time to prepare a bit. For some odd reason I hate all the subjects this semester .  Anyway SMU has a weird way of grouping subjects together for its exams. The subjects I have for this Semester is shown below.

• Advanced Internet Programming - ASP
• Server-Side Programming
• Data Warehousing and Data Mining
• E-Business Fundamentals
• Secured E-Commerce Transaction
• Digital Imaging techniques - I
• Digital Imaging techniques - II
• IT Law and Practice
• WML WAP - Revised
• XML
• C# Programming
• Software Engineering
• Software Quality Assurance

Yes I also have no idea what they we’re thinking when they grouped all of them together. Anyway studying for all of this is going to be a pain in the rear. There’s like 16 books for all of them. Luckily since I’m not exactly a last minute person I have managed to go through quite a bit.

Other than that I’ve been thinking of trying out Arch Linux. Not that I don’t like Ubuntu. Its just that I would like to try something new. Maybe I’ll try it out on VirtualBox as it is exam time and the last thing I need is my PC not to be functioning right.

Yeah, its that dreaded time again. Our exam time tables have been posted and look, I have less than one month to prepare. Considering that I did do a good revision of the subjects I should be okay. But considering that this is SMU you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to pass anyway. Its about getting every single mark you can. I’ve uploaded the timetable here to my Blog just in case someone needs to access it. For some odd reason I can’t download it off the University website and I had to have one of our professors get it for me from the Learning Center Login.

Time Table for July 2008 Exams

Well with a New year it seems I’m definitely not being as up to date as I wish to be on my blog. To my defense may I first state that I seemed to have caught this nasty cold on New year’s eve. Haven’t resorted to taking any medicine yet but I might if it doesnt go away by tomorrow.

Furthermore I have exams at the end of this month. Not to mention that the subjects I have would put a cappuccino to sleep. Maybe it has to do with the content within the Sikkim Manipal University study guides. Anyway the subjects I have for this semester are.

• Communication Technology
  • Digital Telecom
  • Broadband Communication
• Software Engineering
  • Software Engineering
  • Advanced Software Engineering
• Software Project Management & Quality Assurance
  • Software Project Management
  • Software Quality Assurance
  • Advanced Software Quality Assurance
• Oracle 9i & Distributed Database
• Client-Server Architecture & Networks

Hopefully I’ll be able finish revising all before the exam gets close. As for more stuff on Linux and Ubuntu I’ve been working on a small theming guide which I should have up soon.
