The laptop is back - with a replaced hard disk and a new battery. The Compaq support people have given me a Hitachi disk instead of a Seagate one, and apparently they have upgraded the BIOS as well. I’m trying to get software suspend and suspend to RAM working in the new setup. The system is going into suspend nicely - but it is refusing to come back - I think the ehci_hcd module is the culprit.

This week was the last one in college as a freshman, and here’s a few pictures of some “typical” moments in college (the picture quality isn’t great - taken with my roommate’s Nokia 6600 mobile, but I think you’ll get the idea).



Some of my batchmates (all from the Computer Science and Engineering Department). This was taken on day when the temperature outside was 40 degrees celcius, so pardon the absence of shirts in some cases.



Our room (that blue thing is my bed)



A typical late night session with the room mate’s laptop (well, ok - the T-shirt was especially for the “photo-shoot”)



After a late night session on C

There are more pictures (group photos, pictures of my batch mates, etc) - I’ll be uploading them after the end-semester exams are over. Of course, after that, I’ll have to put up a “PG-13-PARENTAL GUIDANCE SUGGESTED: Some material may not be suitable for children” notice in this website - but I think I can live with that ;).
