I was participating in this coding competition at Empower.IT. My day turned out to be quite eventful after the contest, and by the end of the day, I had won a Transcend T.sonic 610 MP3 player! I don’t think I can write about all of that right now, but I will write about this day sometime.

And I know an mp3 player is that big and that I missed a real opportunity to get a laptop, but its a start. A very late start. Maybe I’ll participate in Yahoo code events after college, but I sure will do somewhere. Its fun getting things for free!

And, the mp3 player works great. The rock equalizer preset is good in particular. The first song I copied to the player was Lisa Stansfield’s Treat me like a woman. Its heaven to listen to it!

I’m used to Google Search. For a change, I tried Live Search and Yahoo Search, and the results I got were simply pathetic! I wanted to find a circuit diagram to interface custom hardware to the USB port of my computer.

Google gave me loads of relevent stuff and I managed to find what I needed, but look at the results Live Search and Yahoo Search! They’re totally useless! I wonder why they’re still around.

• Here are the Google Results: 11400 results (with a lot of relevent results ofcourse)

• The Live Results: 0 results (Has only the usual good for nothing Eye-Candy stuff)

• The Yahoo Results: 1 results (Thank God they managed to find one result! Live Search would have been number 2 otherwise. :D)
