Automatic Login and pop-up block on I-ON

Posted on April 9th, 2008

Are you sick of the same I-ON login page that asks you to enable pop-ups every time you open your browser and try to access the Internet, are you sick of entering your username and password again and again. I think i have a very very simple solution for all your problems. Just copy the below code and save it as any name say ankur.html and just make it homepage of your browser and dont forget to replace “your username” and “your password” to the actual one you are using, now whenever you open your browser TaDa you are all set to go and one more thing if you dont want the pop-up you can just disable them no need to enable them
Copy from here

<script type="text/javascript">
function login()
{
document.loginframe.submit();
}
</script>
<body onload="login()" >
<form name="loginframe" method="post" action="http://192.168.150.2:8080/clntAuth/clntAuth_main.jsp">
<input type="submit" value="Sign In" >
<input type="hidden" name="loginID" value="your username">
<input type="hidden" name="loginpassword" value="your password">
<input type="hidden" name="flag" value="0">
<input type="hidden" name="popcheck" value="0">
</form>
</body>

Till here

This is a very simple method you can understand it just by reading the above code, i knew this method from a long time but have posted it now because of a recent event anyway dont forget to replace “your username” and “your password” to the actual one you are using
Happy Surfing!!!!!

PS - I will really be happy to hear if it helps you or not………..

Google announces AppEngine

Posted on April 8th, 2008

GoogleCode at their second CampFireOne announced App Engine a developer tool that enables anyone to run their web applications on Google’s infrastructure , which will be a closed beta with with only 10000 developers having access on first come first serve basis. its similar to AWS (Amazon Web Services) but takes every thing further. Google App Engine applications are implemented using the Python programming language. The runtime environment includes the full Python language and most of the Python standard library. App Engine also includes a scalable datastore, Django templating system and an open-source Python logging system. Its also provides authentication, analytics and access to Google service APIs. There is also a SDK available for local development. It also has the ability to move apps to the web in just a single command.
Google will also provide 500 MBs of storage and enough bandwidth and processing power to serve 5 Million pages per month along with a free subdomain on appspot.com or you can also use google apps to server the app on your domain

If you’d like to try it out, sign up for access to the preview release (well 10,000 limit has been reached sry hard luck) but you can download the SDK and try building the apps locally till you get an invite. You can also check out their blog http://googleappengine.blogspot.com/ for more updates and info
