DigitalEyez Experience

Old memories brought back when I visited FAST NU Karachi Campus today. The memories were incidently of FAST NU's Lahore Campus, which is built (almost) exactly like the one in Karachi. It was DigitalEyez - the event people of creative flare were looking forward to. I went in quite late, and I saw a welcoming group of people over there. I was with my friend Sarfaraz and we were treated like special guests which was surprising. BTW this 'special' is not the one you may end up thinking about. Faisal Abidi, who was the participant and guest relations executive showed us around. I'm almsot certain he took us as if we are from press or CIA, or he was damn too generous in helping us have a nice experience. Anyways, the good thing was, we were happy! We settled into the auditorium for the short movies, and some of them were really well made, and different. I liked how the audience enjoyed.

Since we were late, we only discovered the web design competition lab with judges trying to figure out what design to choose as the winner.

Afterwards Sarfoo had to have his camera looked after by the Sony service centre people, so we left just before the prize distribution ceremony over there.

I feel bad that I was not able to participate in the web design competition, but anyways, it must be better, that is why God disabled me from taking part in the competition.

I noticed that Procom is coming, so I'll have to try and find time to sharpen my algorithm skills, just in case I decide to dive into Procom. Strangely enough, this time its Procom.net instead of Procom, and that .net is for what? I don't know. That's not a domain name or anything, its just a name. I know Microsoft has .net but looking at what Procom offers, I am still confused what that additional ".net" is doing in there now.

Anyways, cheerz!

Emotions vs Logic!

I had a loooong chat with Munir, a travelling geek from some (almost) boys only university :P

We "discussed" about the situations when we have the option to select either of the two: emotions or logic. Look at the way I enclosed the word 'dicussed' in quotation marks; that means it was an interesting discussion ;P

I was in for logic and Munir was in favour of emotions. We kept putting up examples in favour of our beloved items and we ended up without agreeing to each other.

In between we discussed about why we should not work at Axact and how to go about toont toont tooooooont! :P when we're upset.

It was a nice gup shup, he gave me a nice couple of things to help me unfold the thing called life. We talked about Apple Mecca and how some people interpret the same things differently.

I am still in favour of not favouring the emotions :) but the rest of you might have different ideas!
