Andromeda

When i came to NITC i was excited to see the LINUX operated systems here in all the labs than later on we were given Andromeda logins. yes, Andromeda MCA's student-faculty server where all of us MCA's have our own space to work on. and then i met two fundoos in our super-senior batch Shivendra and Abhishek. I was in love with linux and i have spent a huge amount of time struggling with my linux so many re-installation and many times data loss. i learned so many things reading tutorials from internet and in case i got struck anywhere than the fundoo's consult. later we got chance to set up LAN in our hostel unfortunately i missed the chance to get administration but ultimately it came to me as the appointed student was from non-computer side and he used to consult us in case of problems and finally some days after he handed over the server room key to me, and i got chance to do some research sort of things, after two or three days i installed linux on the machine being fed up with the virus attacks, and later on with help of another fundoo we did NAT ing on the system and everyone in hostel was enjoying internet thereafter. from that time i was into linux, and same time i got Jayant interested to do similar things and then we together did so many experiments sometimes success and sometime failure i don't remember what it was exactly but day before discrete exam i had solved a great problem, i was into linux googling for the things and when i got the things corrected it was 5am at about and after some time i have top appear for my final exams. it was my foolishness or addiction i can't describe it but i lost my discrete exam in first semester.

learned so many things under guidance of those two fundoos than we organized Nakshatra (All INDIA MCA MEET) for the first time, that was a start we got from our super senior batch. being part of Technical team with Shivendra, some more things got cleared, whenever i went to him with some doubt he has cleared it in minutes as if he has worked a lot on that problem., and then time came when they left the college after finishing MCA now andro administration came in hands of Sunil and Bineet. i didn't had much interaction with Bineet but i have seen great dedication in Sunil and after those two fundoos he was the next person to get things, again in the even the 4th semester we presented second version of Nakshatra and whole event was learning process, this time we worked more than previous.

another interesting thing i would like to point out, during first semester Andro Admins were having long hairs styles , at that time we both myself and Jayant have also kept long hairs, continuing Shivendra and Abhishek, Sunil Saini also kept long hairs for a long time. later jayant has cut his hairs but i am still having the hairs i starting growing at that time, and i don't have any future plans to cut my hairs , i am having longest hairs in the campus. of course among boys , but there are girls having short hairs than me ...

now at the middle of this 4th sem finally all the wait is over and i have root password of ANDROMEDA, yeah myself and Jayant has been chosen as the admins for this coming year

and this is the first work i have done on Andromeda is cleaning of the machine, it was too much dirty, prashant appointed DELL engineerer in the campus helped for that and now publishing this post from Andro machine ..


will be back with another post very soon ............
