Busy days

Its been quite a long time since I blogged (and also made good progress with umbrello after soc). The main reason is university. I have been on very tight schedule since college started. 
We have operating system, system software, Formal Language & Automata Theory, Computer Networks-1, DBMS and Software Engineering courses this semester. Whew.. Though all of them are interesting, we require lot of effort to actually understand them in depth.

Of late, I and two of my friends are working on an interesting research project related to music and image processing.
 And guess what - we are using Qt for almost everything required! I am really happy with introducing open source development tools (qt, g++, gdb, svn..)  to my team mates as those tools are rarely known to anyone in college.
 I have done various small projects like snake game, youtube cache downloader, simple image viewer using Qt in very little span of time to assist their understandings and fine tune my skills.

Recently my patch for Akregator- click on tray icon bug was accepted and I am happy on this small accomplishment :)

What bothers me these days is, I am simply not able to do any umbrello work - which is bad. I really need to work on my schedule, skip unimportant tasks and use the time wisely on umbrello. I plan to merge my soc-branch into trunk soon for KDE 4.2.  This needs descent amount of work and so, I will certainly make good use of Diwali holidays :)

I wonder how days become busy all of a sudden! Ofcourse I ensure that I do allocate time for enjoyment :)
Hopefully my next blog will be about the succesful merge.

Update: Forgot to mention an important news. My article about my soc-umbrello accomplishment was published in the recent  commit digest. I am thankful to Danny for making this happen :)
