Friday The Rabbi Slept Late..

Hey all. So, another hectic week of tests but its been pretty okay..not too much sweat :-) So, preparations for Engineering Week are underway...magazine launch, customized tee-shirts and Auditions for the exhibition projects. And I hear I'm to be a judge! But only if I behave.. Like before, categories include software, embedded systems, game design and pretty much anything that sounds remotely techy. I'm actually looking forward to this. I'm pretty sure we're going to see some really wild projects. Will you keep you posted as events unfold. Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for comments regarding the Intro to AVRs series. Just drop a line (and leave your email address) in the comments and I'll email it to you. And as promised, here's what we need to begin speech recognition in C#.NET 4.0 (should work from dotNet Framework 3.5 I think): A computer running Visual C# Express 2010 or Visual Studio 2010 A working microphone (the integrated mic array on most ...

The Morning After..

Hi all. Excuse the long delay between posts. Its been a rather hectic week here at the DEE (tests all over the place :-x). Its still a busy set of weeks, but I missed my computer so much we're having a fun afternoon together ;-) If I recall correctly, I said something about talking about Microcontrollers and things related to them. Starting out roughly three years ago was a very sucky experience-at first. There never seemed to be one guide to understanding everything you needed to know. Hence three years later, I began to pen a small piece on AVRs, hoping to ease the process for anyone interested. There are two of them, but I'm going to upload only one. It needs lots of work but with your help and comments I'm sure we can get it off the ground. If you like it enough, I'll post the other and hopefully subsequent pieces. Although due to limitations on Blogspot, you'll need to drop a line in the comments so I can get it across to you. I'll see if I can get hosti...

My Very First Blog Post

Hey all. This is my first Blogger post ever so don't mind me if its a bit unexciting. I'm currently a 300L student of the DEE-ABU (if you know what that means, great :-D ) with numerous interests..microcontrollers primarily, then everything else..programming, electronics, computers, anime, the works. I'm a die-hard Naruto fan and I like a bit of One Piece too :-) That also means I dabble alot in a thousand and one things sometimes simultaneously, basically moving from one thing to the next so please try not to mind me..but I'll try to keep it light and interesting. I don't have much of a skillset due to my dabbling nature, but my fortes (if I have any) would be C#.NET and AVR Microcontrollers. Because I'm such a C# buff, I'm also interested in the .NET Micro Framework as well ( Wikipedia: .NET Micro Framework ) and subsequently own a FEZ Panda II board which I seldom toy with (although with this blog, I intend to use it more and more ;-) ) Also know a thin...
