I always like Monday since it the first day of the week... a fresh morning and a fresh start! It was 14-02-2011 (I need not elaborate on this!) , the day when most of us students bunk and go out with our beloveds. But we, "text-simplify" mates decided to work on the project and show some real progress since not much had been done the previous week. We decided to meet at DSCE and sit together and work on the modules since there would be collective exchange of efforts and ideas which would not be possible in case we stayed at home!
Here we are at the DSCE library at sharp 9 o'clock trying to find a plug point for our laptops and trying to connect to the Wi-Fi.. Uh- huh! Nothing works our way. Finally we decide to login through the systems at digital library but the connectivity is so bad that we could not login to Gmail even. We keep running around, trying to figure out what to do and at 10 o'clock we decide to go back to our department and work in the labs. We enter the lab to find to find two systems unoccupied. What could have possibly gone wrong now? Take a wild guess! Yeah.. The internet does not work with Ubuntu.. Ugh! We tried to code the module with the help of the materials we already had, but it was not working.
Bhuvan said- "I am never going to come to college and work, you people do whatever you want!"
Ambika said- "ahan! Bhuvan.. Today you came to college just because internet was not working at your place. So keep quiet" ;)
Anusha said- "le...naave dodda halla thodi, adralli biddange aythu" :P
Ha ha ha ha! The situation was so funny. I was laughing in spite of zero progress. Thereafter we decided that we would work from home efficiently!
We worked for the rest of the day at home. (of course! I took a number of breaks in between). We wrote a piece of module on our own.
The present module we are aiming at will scan for the presence of a particular sentence in the corpus and hence return the frequency count of that sentence.
I am reading two papers presently. The simplified version of it will follow soon.
