MobiVision, Techtatva 08, LUG Manipal and lots more….
Oct 20th
I am posting to my blog after a long long time and a lot has happened, first Lets start with MobiVision.
People in MobiVision Workshop
MobiVision (Brain child of Subhendra Bhaiya) was a workshop conducted by people from LUG Manipal ( well not officially but everyone involved in it was from LUG Manipal ) as the name suggests it was on developing Application for mobile Plateform, basicly targeting Python for Series 60 and Android, We were expecting turnout of around 100 people and more the double turnout took us by surprise, it saw a partisipation of over 200 which comprised of guys/gals from First to Fourth year which was really amazing we even had people doing PG showing Interest, we had some trouble managing them in 2 rooms which were alloted to us but in the end every thing turned out pretty well. We had 2 Teams ready one for Python S60 and one for Android, Both teams did a great job and made Mobivision the most sucessfull Workshop in Techtatva 08.

Next was Techtatva 08 which is the annual Technical Fest of Manipal Institue of Technology, Manipal, Here again LUG Manipal was in full control ( and again not officially!!! ) we were to conduct events for the Computer / IT Catagory called ” PARAM ” and we planned to change the previously conducted events so as to make them fit in the 4 basic catagories of people –
1) ” MobiVision ” for Inovators here teams where to come up with a inovative Idea for Mobile Application and a prototype
2) ” Jour ” for Developers here teams were to make any one of the three Projects and give a Presentation and Demonstration of their product
3) ” CodeBytes ” for Programers the usual problem solving event with not so usual questions
4) ” Puzzle Mania ” for Every Day internet users comprising of all sorts of Puzzels
all the events saw good participation from all years and were prased for not having a single glitch.

I also made a Deligate and Event Registration system for managing and registering all the people coming for Techtatva 08 and also a CBT ( Computer Based Test ) system for priliminary rounds of some events, it was all basicly made in PHP and used MySQL as primary Database and was hosted on a Fedora 9 ( for those of you who dont know what it is — Its a GNU/Linux Distribution and also my Primary OS ) based server running Apache in Student Councels room because we/I were/was denined permition to host it on the main Manipal University server, they said “You are a Threat for our Network!!!” ??? which left me wonder what kind of stuff they do there and what did i do to them??? ( reason for which i got to know later ) anyways we managed to get a lab computer for using as a server, it had a AMD Athlon x3800 CPU, 80 GB HDD and 1GB RAM, which was all i needed for my work, the PC was formatted and fresh Fedora 9 was installed on it, after this all updates were applied which didn’t took much time as the connection there is not at all like I-ON and is at least 10 times faster ( well it was MAHE LAN and I-ON is WiFi but still!!! ) some changes in http.conf and iptables and it was ready. The System ran without a glitouch except when someone made the LAN cable for the server loose which made all on Registration Desks shouting but luckly everything was back online in 2-3 mins. The CBT’s also ran very good and results were decleared as soon as the alloted time was over and there were no objections.
CBT - updates, running on a lab PC for real time updates

Automatic Login and pop-up block on I-ON
Apr 9th
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………..
