Simple AJAX Implementation using XMLHTTPRequest

Today, i did a small application that selects an image from the server as requested by the user and displays it on the screen. Has an ajax implementation though the same can be implemented in pure javascript. But this shows some of the limitless possibilities by using the xmlhttprequest API! Click on the below link to get a preview of it.

Planning to do my E-greetings website completely based on AJAX. But I have a lot more to learn!! My sincere Thanks to Prabhu Anna for his continuous support and encouragement!!

QuizTrac 2006

I did the presentation for them this time around too. And just like
last time, due to unforeseen circumstances, i ended up doing it the
whole of yesterday night. Slept for two hours around 5AM. All because
there was a complete power shutdown yesterday. I really cant
understand what type of maintenance work that these people do by
shutting down power supply for a whole day regularly!

Too crappy! Wasted a whole day! Some of my other friends in other
parts of the town with electrical power available were all occupied
with some other work or were not available. :-( So ended up working
the whole night!

It turned out ok and both the Secretary Mohan and the former
president, Kumar liked it. After it played, they even felicitated me
on the spot! :-) :-) Felt very happy!!

Now I have to complete some more websites and design some posters for
a'la Gateway 2006!! Filled up hours in the weeks to come!!

Funny Quote of the day!!
Robert Orben - "Never raise your hand to your children it leaves your
midsection unprotected."

How did a stork come to symbolize childbirth?

Find out here!! :-)

Viruses Spreading through Yahoo groups!

Now viruses are spreading through Yahoo Groups! The Virus mails itself
from a remote server identifying itself in a email address that is a
legitimate member of the group. So the message gets posted to the
group bypassing everything!

The virus promises funny pictures... When clicked, variants of the
MyWife virus gets loaded into the host system I think!

Virus Info - http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_101135.htm

It is bypassing groups "members only post" feature by appearing as if
it is the sender by changing the "From" address! Lets hope something
is done about it.. Like authorising the server using Yahoo Domain Keys
or something!

Gateway 2006 PSGCAS

At last, after much hurdles and stoppages.. We have obtained permission to go ahead with our department's Intercollegiate technical festival for this year! Have a lot of things in mind.. Hope all of these turn out well..

Have to design the wallpapers and other stuff to go with the marketing plan. All of this is to be done at a very fast pace. The function is supposed to take place on March 1st. We had initially planned to do so on the 8th of March, but the pricipal was kind enough to atleast grant us permission to conduct the festival on this day atleast as all department functions are supposed to be done with by the 15th of February. We consider ourselves extremely lucky!

Have to garner enough strength to go thru everything! Have to design a few sites of my own too! And also.. Quiz Trac came back calling asking me to do a flash presentation for them similar to last years.. All those nice words that they say about my design is really heart warming! Hope to do something better this time around!

Find no time to blog! But anyways! Will post a bit more regularly!

Love - Buy it cheap on Ebay!!!

Was trying out Google Suggest by typing in some characters and looking at the suggestions.. Somehow I typed L.. and so on and landed typing love.. On getting the results.. I saw a sponsored link that was a bit funny, see the screenshot for yourself!

I tried clicking on the link, it asked for login information! Duh! Thought I could purchase some for cheap! ;-)
