It's funny

Today I wish to share some of the funny output/bug I’ve ever seen/heard about some academic projects done by my seniors in my polytechnic. Anyway I’m not going to mention their name.

California Callin’

We shall call him Don. Don’s proposal for academic project was to implement a custom protocol in C. The proposal goes as follows “By Implementing this protocol one would be able to communicate with another computer through Internet. For e.g. It will be able to communicate from a machine in Sree Rama polytechnic to a machine at California using this protocol through Internet.
Don started implementing this. Finally his 4-member team realized that it’s not easy to implement such a protocol within the time available for them.
So they updated the proposal again as “By Implementing this protocol one computer would be able to communicate with another computer through Local Area Network polytechnic.
Anyway the project ended up somehow and his batch mates saying (for fun) that Don updated the proposal again with Serial port as communication medium and he could not implement that too so finally data transfer happened with the help of floppy disks.
So the project started from California came down to floppy disk and flopped as well.

Patient Killer (a.k.a. Hospital Management System)

Don’s another classmate did a project named Hospital Management System. The system functions well but they didn’t get time to implement a feature. It was to automate the room reservation”
The operation of this HMS as follows
1. Registers Patient.
2. To allot a room for patient, we should enter the room number manually.
3. Complete the registration.

So I can explain the operation again in a broad manner  (Just kidding)
Normally attender will be assigned for this manual checking of the room s available and will report back to receptionist. If the patient’s condition is serious and if the hospital is bug enough (say 7 stored) the patient’s story may end upon there. And if an attender does the job for a week, he may also enter to ICU.

Contrastive offers of Hotel Management Systems.

Another guy did a project called Hotel Management System. It also had functioned in all aspect and they have added up one more feature called “Offers” in the system. They caught some funny bugs on preparing for demo(testing).
One problem was, if a person comes to rent a room, he need to order all the dishes going to have from the restaurant for the period of his stay. If he stays there for one week, he need to order every dishes for breakfast, lunch, dinner etc…. anyway they kept bug as open.

Another problem was, if we use the offer and if the offer is “Fried Rice”. If the person orders one bottle of Mineral water too, he will get the fried rice. Finally they have removed the “Offer” feature from the system.

P.S: I’ve exaggerated some stories for fun anyway I’ve introduced this before blogging this.
