OK guys, after a long time, I’m back. Today I’m gonna write about a php Error, which most of the beginners encounter due to carelessness. It looks like
Warning: mysql_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in C:\wamp\www\web\setup.php on line 72
When it comes to CCF, they have a very strong security system to prevent the download of movies, softwares and other data files using the college network. But, at last I’ve found a way to crack it all. Now you can download anything you like from the CCF.
Goto any suitable proxymizing site tat is available. I personally prefer http://unblockit.info. (Note: You can also use Facebook, Myspace or any other site using unblockit.info)
Enter you favourite torrent search website in the text box that appears on the webpage. Mine is http://thepiratebay.org. After this I search for whatever I like, say the movie Captain America. Then I choose my favorite torrent file, which could be randomly any one of the ones that appear in the search results. Now, I copy the torrent link. In this case, you copy the torrent link by right clicking on the inverted green triangle below the name of the movie. And then clicking on “Copy Link address”.
Goto http://unblockit.info again. This time, enter “http://torrific.com” in the text box and open the site.
Create an account at torrific through the sign up button on top right. After signing up, you’ll see another text box where you’ll have to enter the torrent file link that you copied from the pirate bay. A new page will appear showing the names of all the files contained in that torrent. Alongwith the names, there will be a button titled “Initiate Bittorrent Transmission” on the right sidebar of the screen. Click on it and wait.
The page will again reload and after sometime you’ll see the blue colored links on the page. Copy the ones that you want and paste them to mozzilla firefox’s address bar. Hooraah! You’re done. The downlaod will start shortly.
Many programs come with a habit of checking their newer versions everytime they run. The most ridiculous example of this is Google Talk. The program checks for update and if a newer version is available, it shows an annoying pop-up saying that, A new update is available for Google Talk, please update. Now the problem of users like me, is, this proves to be a major distraction. So, today we will see, how to disable such distractions. Most of the developers are decent enough to provide some option saying “Disable automatic update check” in the program settings menu. But Google insists on using the latest version only. But do we really want to upgrade from version 2.3.1.12 to version 2.3.1.14? I don’t think, I’d not like to do so.
Open the “Run” dialogue box by pressing “Windows key” + “R” . Type “regedit.exe” and hit enter. This will open the default Registry Editor of Windows.
On the left sidebar, you’ll see and option of “HKEY_CURRENT_USER”. Click on it. A list of folders will be dropped down. Click on “Software”. Then further, click on “Google” and then on “Google Talk” in the same sidebar. The first option in the list that will appear hereafter, would be “Update Check”.
Click on update check. Then come on the main window and double click on the last option “Update URL”. Copy the URL from the following dialogue box, and then download the file using any download manager.
Upload the file to any free hosting server. I prefer “www.largedocument.com”. Then copy the link provided to you. Replace the link in the registry with this new link.
Hey guys, its been a while since I last posted something on this tech blog. So here we go. Today I’ll explain in detail, how to run Google Talk and get it running on CCF, or any computing facility where everything else but firefox is blocked. So let’s begin.
Download the Google Talk Setup Installation file from http://dl.google.com/googletalk/googletalk-setup.exe . After downloading it, change its filename to firefox.exe
Install the setup properly. The installation is expected to go without a hitch.
Go to “My computer“<”C:“<”Documents and Settings“<”knsccf.CCFSVR0.001“<”Start Menu“<”Programs“<”Google Talk“
Inside this folder you will find the icon of Google Talk and below would be written “Google Talk”.
Right Click on it, Go to “Properties”.
Now go to “My Computer“<”C:“<”Documents and Settings“<”Application Data“<”Google“<”Google Talk“
Now, as we all know the proxy settings are harsh on our CCF computers. So some proxy configuration.
On the login dialogue box of Google talk, Click on the “Settings” on the top right corner of the Google Talk dialogue box which opens.
In the left sidebar of the Window which now opens, there is an option called “Connection”. Click on it.
Click on the radio button saying “Use the following proxy:” Click the checkbox, the proxy requires authentication. In the “Host” text box, enter “10.1.1.5″ and in the “Port” dialogue box, enter “8080″. Then enter you CCF ID and Passowrd in the boxes of “Username” and “Password” below the one in which you’ve just entered the proxy. That’s it, you’re done.
Now click

Google has recently launched Google+ for limited preview and people are really enjoying despite of its extremely limited set of features and basic functionality. I would be throwing light on a very elementary part of Google’s new service, the “+1 button”(refer Screenshot X). This button is an enhancement to the Google’s searching algorithm, with the tagline “Isn’t it easy to find something that your friend has already found”. Google will collect each and every “+1″ that you make while searching on Google and they will be displayed in a special tab on Google Plus (which can be found under the profile section, as shown in screenshot 1 below), for enhancing the search procedure for those who are searching for the very same thing. This service is completely user dependent, hence, because the more number of people keep on “+1″ing the correct links in your circles, the more accurate your search is gonna be. So better invite as many friends as possible to Google Plus and encourage them to “+1″ the useful link once they have found it.
Also, this is going to set a new benchmark for the sites even when they are not yet visited by your friends. Most of the major websites already have a Google “+1″s button which marks that how many users throughout the world have found the website usefull. As you can see in Screenshot 2.
As me and my friend Bharat Singh Bhandari were cruising along the embankments of Shakti Canal, here at Rishikesh, we found a boulder contructed on half of the road which blocked half the way, causing some inconvenience… As we closed in, we noticed some well known instruments floating on water. We saw something that looked quite similar to a generator, or a motor, a large floating desk, and chains that held the device on to the boulders. We were excited to see the setup , so we went across the canal and asked the officer on duty about the setup. He told us, that these were “Floating Turbines”.
And… yes, the aspirants of engineering are busy once again. And as expected the CCB(Central Counselling Board), India are back with their extremely poor website. The people out there are simply disgusting. They work for money, and if it were not about admission they would have made the website even poorer. Now, imagine yourself in an online shopping store, which refreshes its page everytime you add, delete, or change order, of your purchase queue. How annoying would that be? As annoying is the architecture of the CCB website.
