My (sour) project experience...

It had started during the last exam of our seventh sem. Two guys came to the college giving the maverick info system visiting card telling that they could be approached for the project. I think from that time on, sani(saturn) began to dance bharatnatyyam at the top(uchi-in tamil). We were really complacent from december till february about the project. Only during the late feb we have begun to got some doubts. Those guys didnt understand what we wanted for project. They said they will do something, which, at that point of time, we thought was good because we dunno the concept. We really didnt belive them so we began to make a separate code. If you ud have read the previous blogs u would know abt this. Even at that point of time, we were depending on their project and our code was just a module. But at match, things began to look bleak. They said it would be hard and all that sort of things. Exactly at that time, pratheeba, vasanth and other told their experience with their consultant too. Coincidence!
Around late march, something around 20th, we have began to get the picture. We were going to the project consultant every other day about the project. Guys, the pinnacle was readned on march 24th, when they said they we wont be able to show the demo in the college! Can u belive that...no demo. We were pissed to hell. The very next day, without no hope we went to college. We went and talked with pushpalatha maam. She guided us to Mr. Vijayabaskaran. We went and talked with him. He understood what we want and he showed some demo in the lab. It was then we began to get some hope. Still we had no idea about linux. The very day i installed linux and studied a crash course! Only after learning the shell script, me and kannan got some hope. Then kannan separately began to code and we began to code. I never knew kanna had this much talent. Beautiful algorithm guys, i will post that once the code gets over. Then days passed by and four days before the project guys said that they werent able to do our project. Now, we know, we had no back up. We brought surendran's computer to my home and began to work simultaneously day and night. We progressed but we ran to a wall. That didnt sort out till 12 am today morning. Now, according to kannan we have some 30% of the code left to do, which i belive can be done coz the difficult part have been almost finished. I sincerely thank ramkumar for his help and many guys whom u udnt know who have been backing us since we ventured out of the consultant. Thank you balaji and vikram...if you would ever read thsi blog, think that i am deeply indebted to you...so guys i have to sign off...work to do. And hey, i have posted my slam blog below. Do check that out too...i ud definitely appreciate comments. Take care. And guys one more thing, not many ud have got this, but we have got almost full refund of our project from the mavericks.
