Starting College…

After the end of holidays' gloom was over, I prepared to enter my third year of engineering education in my university. I'll tell you, it's not one of the pleasurable things you do in life but somehow the previous exam results are a pretty heavy reminder or more to say compeller, I started eschewing seniors for advice on books, materials and staff. After the first part was over I had a solid list of books to search for. I travelled a lot to my usual places and began to buy them second-hand (Buying those books first hand could cost more than the tuition fee for that semester) All the while having a good time with some novels to read. These happened to be the byproducts of books searching. After I'd gotten over them, I went for some quiet, peaceful time at home. Then the college started.

Without much fuss we settled down in our new classes losing some friends we had in last semester (which was a good thing and a bad thing, depending on the considered people). The class room was stuffy and hot as hell. The architect (should I even call him that!!), made two small openings for a classroom. These are such idiots who are fit to be deemed Jews in Nazi reign. Anyways the most forgivable guy in my story was him, so without further ado, let me tell you what I wanted to say"Life, here in my university totally, unconditionally, irrevocably disgusting and it sucks!!!"

They had changed two more of our critical rules this year regarding exams, Revaluation was not meant for the middle-class and the schedule of the mid-terms were split-up and distributed that we have to study throughout the year (God, I hate them !!) They had also filled our free hours with tutorial classes whom the rickety, rackety, old professors wanted to take. Again when I thought it wasn't my fault, someone reminded me. It was me who had chosen years ago, however I had never thought of that and all.

This I adios from me,

Alan.

Mundasupatti - a fun movie

I saw a movie the other day called Mundasupatti, I’m sure you’ve heard of it if you’re in Tamil Nadu. It was funny, they took a simple superstition which is around and made a fun movie out of it. It was a period film, exploring the 70’s of rural India. I was instantly reminded of swades, a great hindi film which again explores the development gap between cities and villages, it goes a bit further to compare development as seen by an Indian NASA engineer and his old house-hold nanny’s village.  While Swades was a serious film about self empowerment and braking society’s rules about casteism and encouraging education, Mundasupatti is just a funny movie about how stupid, people are.  The movie revolves around a village after which the film is named, the people in the village believe that taking a photograph causes people to get sick and die. The movie did a faithful representation of the rural India, with its proud people and crazy traditions which make no sense. People...

Apache Nutch-Solr Integration

Apache Nutch-Solr Integration   As of this writing, I am using Solr 4.8.0 and Nutch 1.8.0 binaries for the integration. Will catch up to later versions as and when my project requires.

For simplicity sake, Ill stick to Linux environment for both as Nutch does not operate in windows natively. Getting Solr to work 1. All you need to for Solr to work are the binaries. you can get them from their  official page  (version 4.8.0) 2. Extract the  solr-4.8.0.zip  in some location. for this tutorial, lets assume that its in  /home/test/Research/solr 4.8.0/ 3. Open terminal, navigate to  /home/test/Research/solr-4.8.0/example/  and execute the following command to start solr server java -jar start.jar  4...
