Here’s the first Yahoo! Pipe I came up with. It’s mostly a mashup of all the feeds, Blogs, Twitter, LinkedIn, Flickr, Goodreads, and any other site that came to mind… And it’s pretty big. I could probably write up a decent tutorial, but instead, I guess I’ll just help out if anyone asks (now we all know, that’s not gonna happen!)

Yahoo Pipes

You guys can see it in more detail at my Yahoo! Pipes library

It wouldn’t be hard to guess the thing I miss the most about MNNIT. Yeah, that’s right! It’s the Internet Connection. Here’s a preview of what I did with it when I got the 2TB External—it went on for about two months, and then I ran out of space…

Those were the times! 10-12MBps (note: Its B, not b, so its about 100Mbps; cosumer broadband does not exceed 4Mbps,) and unlimited!

PS: There was one thing I missed even more! But I think I’d rather keep that to myself…
PPS: The internet we had was what I believe to be an Internet Leased Line. 100Mbps costs ₹2.5 Cr

Understand this guys. This college may have a lot of things. (It doesn’t.) But what it surely does not have is a sane internet connection. I mean seriously, it’s insane. But that would mean it is capable of thinking. It is. You know that crucial moment in your life where 5 minutes could mean a journey home that vacation? Well, in any case, if you’re at MNNIT and those crucial minutes are those just before getting your ticket booked, God be with you. No. I should say may the devil be with you (as he seems to be eager to please to get you to his side. God’s more of a sit-and-wait-to-see-how-he-reacts type.) Bottom line is, you will not get that ticket.

Now I’ll get to why I call it insane. It can sense the intensity of your need. It knows which is the most crucial point in your activity. And it strikes when the time comes. We were supposed to complete a project today (and we did.) Guess what happened. Net stopped working. 4 days in a row. I’ve been trying to upload a pic for almost an hour now, but no, why would it upload. That’s why I’m writing this post in the first place!

And hey! Net started working properly. The pics up 😀
