Very Special Day for me

Today(Dec 31st,2009) is a very special day for me. Last day as an RA for my Professor.
I like to work for my professor very much. But I also want to have an intern experience. After coming back I will be his RA again. I will work on my thesis most of the time than work for him. So, I think this is the real last day as an RA. I am fortunate to have such a good, smart and talented person as my advisor. Sometimes I feel I am lucky in some matters. Today I gave an overview of my work to my advisor and co-RA. My advisor commented 'I AM IMPRESSED BY YOUR WORK'. For me,that was one of the very happy moments. He wished me good luck for my internship and said that I will surely do well. He has more confidence on me than I do.

A+ in Machine Learning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today I got my grades,A- and A+, for "Wireless Networking" and "Machine Learning" respectively. The exciting part is I got an A+ IN MACHINE LEARNING. Even more interestingly I am the only person to get an A+ in a class of 20. This is a great news for me. Ofcourse I deserve it(I put a lot of time into that course). Good work Chandana. Good work.

My Favorite Quote

This is one of the quotes I strongly believe and follow:

IF YOU DON'T WANT ANYONE TO KNOW, DON'T DO IT.

Overcome 'OUT OF MEMORY' error in Matlab

Today I learnt to overcome 'Out of Memory' error in Matlab. Ofcourse it is understood that I browsed the net and found out. The solution is(this is for Windows Vista),

Go to
My Computer --> Advanced --> Settings(under Performance) --> Advanced Tab --> Change --> Under Custom size increase the size --> Click OK.

Then restart your computer.
DONE.
Your Matlab code will now work.

In short we are increasing paging file size.

The same happened again

This post is regarding my presentation today.
I am comfortable speaking before 10 people. More than 10 people in front of me - you are sure to hear a different tone from my side(That means I am tensed). Today I had to give a presentation in one of my courses(only required to speak for 5 min). I was talking, without looking at the audience(they were ~30), with an unusual voice. I was speaking in a very hurried manner trying to complete my part as fast as possible.
People can guess that I am terribly tensed. In my school days, I never participated in any competitions(which requires talking before people). I escaped situations where I had to talk. But some things are unavoidable(Like the one today). These situations remind that I am not a good social speaker.
