One day in clg… Thursday, Mar 29 2007

Bang, Bang – the bang on my door to which i now usually wake up too. It was MUD banging to wake me for my 9:30 class. My attendance was already running below 75% cup off in Communication so had made sure someone wakes me up. Thought here the peak winter has descended there was that uneasy chill, the one that makes u too lazy to take a bath but a little hot to wear a sweater to class. So ended up just washing my head and sprayed some deodrant – the normal routine for most of us boys. Had a fast breakfast and made a run for the class and reached there only after the teacher had arrived.

Now as far as Communication System class goes, the fact is this teacher’s monotonous somniferous lecture has been known to put the most chronic insomaniac among us to sleep. 5 min into the class the regular pattern was repeating- Vej already slumed into deep sleep, Cham and Abhi involed in their own number game, Ashi taking snaps(what he does with this I dont get), Arun trying best to get the attention of the fairer sex, me and other backbenchers busy reading the new college magazine tucked under the copy. The only time everyone comes to attention is when the teacher starts callling the rolls(I may not be speaking for the entire class, there are some gals who Sleep Books, Eat books, Live books) . There was only 2hrs class in all during the first half, retuned to hostel to mess and attended 2 more hours of class after that.

Afer the class went to the TPO, as usual he was equivocating continuously – this might come now, or then, should that come-damn it he does that too often. Sometimes I really wonder why I took the responsibility for T&P. Returned and took a nap(seems this is the only thing we guys do regularly) and watched movie till 1AM. Now busy preparing for the seminar I have to give tomorrow, its 2 in the night and am yet to take off with the seminar. And yet here I am tucked away in the singlet room in Mani Mahesh Boys Hostel rumbling along not bothered about the impending doom that might befall if i miss the seminar deadline again.

Some HACKS for every1 Saturday, Mar 24 2007

********************************

Dear Readers from pradeepc.wordpress.com ,

do eNJOY

****************************

 

 

 

Given are come of the hacks I have used to get into a PC.Most of these stuffs I have tried successfully at one point of time.

1) To get through the BIOS password, open the cabinet and remove the BIOS battery from the case(it is the big button battery near to the bios) and reinsert it after some five minutes. This is done to discharge the residual power in the BIOS. Restart and you will be through the BIOS directly now.(PS: NOTE DOWN THE SETTINGS OF THE BIOS B4 DOING THIS.)

2) To get through XP password: This cannot exactly be called a hack, its more of taking advantage of the user’s carelessness. Here switch on XP in the safe mode and type LOGIN as ‘administrator’ and press enter for password. Now you can enter XP Safe Mode, now if u want to create a new user account go to CREATE USER and make a new account. This works most of the time because the user usually forgets to puts an administrative password while installing XP.

3) There are a couple of commands in DOS for refreshing the BIOS password. These stuff stuff works only on windows earlier than XP where direct DOS boot was allowed. Sorry I don’t remember any of the commands now.

4) Using LINUX live CD’s: This is one of the most efficient techniques I have come across. Here get one of those LINUX direct to boot Operating System (LIVE OS) CD and boot the Windows drive directly from the CD. The disadvantage here is that u wont be able to manipulate or change files, just reading and copying is allowed. I have done this using KNOPPIX live CD only. You can download them free online of can order for your own free UBUNTU LIVE CD here. https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ (I havent tried this yet using ubuntu but it ought to work.)

5) Use Keycopy software to copy all the keys typed in the PC including passwords. Plenty of them are available online for free.

6) Snadboy- A miracle software that converts the password written in ‘*’ into normal characters. This is very useful even though this does not work in HTML pages. Download it from here http://www.snadboy.com/

These are the only stuff I remember now, if anyone want to add any stuff to these please do leave a comment.

DISCLAIMER : I am not an hacker, I am just a overeager careless laymen who frequently forget his PC’s password and had to use these methods to retrieve them. Please dont use this info with malicious intend.

Random Rumblings Thursday, Mar 8 2007

I was reasoning why some one would read the crap I have here. Firstly i am not popular nor do I have a blogging niche in my college or among my friends neither am I very good with words, why. Maybe the unsuspecting reader must have been lured here from one of the comments I left at their blog or maybe through the wordpress random list, and there are many souls- my stats show about 200 ppl in about 20 days. Well now that you are here and reading this please do leave a comment or add me to your blogroll, alas why should u suffer alone.

The mid sem holidays just got over last week and must say it was completely boring. Most of the students had left for the their home while the unfortunate ones like me whose home are far away have to suffer in solitude. I was frankly beginning to loose my mind, in fact a couple of days I went for 30 hrs continuously watching movie without any sleep nor food.Anyway now am glad classes have reopened. Occasional bunking is more fulfilling than long holidays.

The countdown going on in my class reads 56 days for degree to end and its begins to the forefront another dilemma- what to pursue after this. I have no more appetite for technical education nor do i want to live other peoples life by going abroad. Now the option has narrowed down to two – take the IT job u like in kerala or slog out in north in the better paying job in my core field, I have been weighing the pros and cons for long and am yet to come to a conclusion. Anyway before I bore u with any more or my egoistical rumblings I should get back to my movie. TATA
