Found Something!

Found Something!

"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `foff` WHERE `age` < 30"; works!

Can you REDUCE the usage of 7 words down to 4 (conjugated phrases are counted as a single word, like COUNT(*) is a single word I've taken here)?
 
I just found it to be working: 
" SELECT COUNT(`age` < 30) FROM `foff`";

Now, what happened to me. I couldn't study for my Computer Science examination a couple of days ago, and wrote the above line of SQL command completely out of imagination, but more of  "sort of" experience I had managed to gather while building Nekster.  My teacher disregarded the command the moment he saw it as such inventions are rarely rampant in CBSE guidelines. I'm amazed it came out to be completely WORKING!

Judgement Day!

Hmm..

Here comes the "Judgement Day" for our "theVEDitor"!
    Oh!, I forgot to mention, "VEDitor" has been appended with a "the"!

So, tomorrow's the Judgement Day for our "theVEDitor" as Principal Sir has called for it, after a long chat with him about the intricacies of our "thing"!

Hoping it to be Successful, Tomorrow!

Good Night,

Abhishek & Dhaval, theVEDitor!

VEDitor almost complete....

Unable to post in between, am jumping staight to the results...

"VEDitor" is almost complete, that means, we're almost up with our Web Application.

The Homepage has been made, the further pages have been made, "functionality" is almost added, and we've stepped onto aggregation of all the constituents...

But, the main thing is ahead, will it be "implemented", or would it be a "waste of time"? Will Principal Sir approve of it, and let the Students of our School use the Application? I'm really apprehended about the day we're going to take it to Sir, and that's to be very soon...

Friends, please do wish for the approval of the Project, and let yourself use this Great Deal!

Gotta go, a lot out of the Finalizing Stage is scheduled...

Thanks for being along....
Abhishek

Finally, Examinations over...

Finally, the Exams are over... But, still no rest... FIITJEE has announced Phase Tests just after the holidays end...

But, Let's see what I end up doing(actually) through the entire holiday...

And, let's see, what happens to VEDitor...

Oh! This PHE!

I'm back at home after writing a book!

Had my PHE (Physical and Health Education) examination today. Giving this examination feels like studying "Arts" even after taking "Science"!
Have Chemistry next... Let's see what happens!
