end sems... if this word arouses in your mind images of frenzied mugging, trips to library, books, discussions... you are not in iit kharagpur. only one word in that description makes any sense applied to us. frenzy. after wasting time all sem, we react to exams by wasting time with a renewed frenzy. post counts on mutter take a spike as spammers have a field day. someone i know started watching

Long time, no blog. I was making a wiki. For editing it uses the excellent HTMLArea javascript... this is my USP. i'm currently modifying it to make the link box add wiki links.... then i gotta make some kind of user area thing, add some php to weed out scripts and close unclosed tags. uses php-mysql. will post a version somewhere when its closer to finished. I'll be staying back in kgp for

illu this year will be on 12th nov. work had started 3 days ago... to was from 8:30 to 12:00 today. three and a half hours. my group of people made the highest number of loops in that much time. hopefully the work of making loops will be over soon and we'll get some free time after that. illu is really close to midsems this year. close enough that even i'm concerned. if none of that makes sense

Click only if you're inside iit kgp: My Server ok i've started a webserver too. it shows a small tutorial on how to configure your computer to use my dns server. there's also a form to request domain names. i hope this takes off. i'm too busy right now to make a new template for this blog. i'm almost too busy to write it, as u can see from the dates of the last few blogs. the kshitij

Here are extracts from a discussion on mutter (nukem's forum) me: i've started a DNS server on my comp ... vani: yeah i'll pitch in for sure ... nitzee: someone did it finally i m glad !! xeltz: all our passwds will be routed thru ur dns then ... right ? vani: no be ... its just a name server ... nitzee: ur passwords route thru the http-proxy and all that stuff !! not the dns ... me: hey thanks

installed windows server 2003. mixed bag. but first: midsems ended well for me. :-) server 2003 is really fast. maybe it's because it's a clean install and doesn't have any startup programs or anything, but it is seriously fast. on the downside it's seriously not recommended for desktop use. you have to enable services before u can get going... like, windows audio is disabled by default. and

several more possible services that can be created for the kgp lan. today i discovered internet explorer's and mozilla's proxy autoconfiguration scripts. seems they're the same format and everything... really encouraging. i told u about the ip database thing, na. idea II is to make a dynamically generated autoconfiguration script. it will query the database for proxy servers, ping each one, and

nice, looks like i'm using this blog to document the online life in kgp. for the time being at least. but before that - i had a normal exam today, at least one in which the questions didn't seem to be in a foreign language. happy about that. coming back... i said something about vaninder's server last post but didn't provide a link... hope this will correct that. this guy is currently running

don't bother to click on that link unless you're connected from inside the kgp lan. then too remove/bypass the proxy to get it. it's rather strange but u need to be in a senior hostel to get really into the online social life, too. last year i had no idea about nukem's forum, or matterlogic's site, or the pushpak server, or even even vaninder's server altho the vanishing nerd is in my batch. but

okay i stayed up all night doing a few more things... installed a lot of other utilities... windows powertoys, a couple of download managers, the GMail notifier. oh, and my BlogThis! button isn't working... it's crashing ie. tried reinstalling the toolbar... anyway where was i? yea i was accounting for my night-out... then me and a couple of other guys watched a stupid hindi movie (downloaded

p2p filesharing is one of the most important applications in the insti-wide lan. until last sem we used shareaza... it was a pain to install, because the gateway firewall prevented it from connecting to permanent hubs on the internet... and there was no easy way to set one up within the institute. moreover it took a really long time to parse your shares and when it was doing that it really slowed

so many things to do... after mid sems. i've got to get a new template for this page. make my own... nothing wrong with this one, only... other people have it, too. :( I had a long look at the source for this template... it's got a nice new way for getting rounded corners - nested divs with a different css background-image for each. i normally use tables... if u visit the Kshitij website you'll

i don't write stories... but in the first month of second year, everyone has to write one. (Everyone also has to play dumb charades, draw a picture, play basketball.. u get the idea). These are organized within the hall for its new residents... so that the teams for interhalls can have the best talent. Anway... this is the story i wrote for that. Spent some time on it, hasty researching online,

Kshitij 2005 - The Annual techno-management fest of IIT Kharagpur. Check the credits... i'm in the web team. B-) i don't know what it is with our department... but a lot of aero people do good stuff that's unrelated to aerospace, tho our very own aeromodelling club is having a lot of trouble taking flight. here i wanna show off my non-aero hobby. and maybe move it up the google search results a

orkut's steadily getting better. faster n all. i've been telling everyone this but i don't think they understand... orkut is the thing that's gonna make gmail beat yahoo... they have to integrate orkut and gmail, and maybe blogger as well... have the same username/password to get all of these... and start a google messenger and they have a killer app... think about it... u make a new contact...
