Broad Band in Linux
(Page in screenshot:Home page of distrowatch.com)Enjoying broad band in Suse Linux
Hi guys,
Its 11:00 pm now, and the day was just superb. So many cool things happened. First of all, configuring Suse for broadband was just so cool. I just switched on my modem, and Suse immediately recognized and configured everything, Automatically!! And I just enjoyed broad band speeds in Suse. I also tried out download using KGet
Also, Today I went to Nithin's house. There I helped him a bit in installing Suse 10.2 and Vector Linux .
A 'wireless' dream ?
We have now connected the modem to usb, but the cable guys told us that, it is not safe to do so, since power surges from the cable line may damage the entire system(My PC), and hence it is better to connect the modem to the network card. But buying another network card(current network card is connected to my home network) did not seem like a viable option for me.
My dream is to set up a wireless network, and connect this modem to the wirless hub and through a dongle connect to the wireless hub? Cool huh ? Next few day, I would like to learn more about wireless connectivity and setting up a wireless network in my place. If you guys do get some material, do mail me, or post it as comment to this post.
bye guys

Boradband connection is here
(That's the speed I am talking about )Hi guys,
I am really thrilled to announce that I finally got my broadband connection from Asianet and its just superb. Its a "always on" net connection with NO download limit. Its the first time, I am experiencing broadband connectivity at my home. And its just awesome.
I have got a lot of plans which I would like to share with you. Right now, I am little busy checking out this cool new surfing ride ;)
Bye guys

Happiest day of my life
(The cup of jOy)This day would be added to my small list of 'most happiest days of my life' - becuase of two things
1. I'm selected
Its been a dream for me for the past 2 and half years to be part of a really cool open source project. It all started when I saw an invitation for an open source project in my dear own lug-indore group in Google. I quickly replied to the author stating my interest and also my resume.
Today I waited till 10:00 PM to check my inbox(I can access net from 10PM only) and was overwhelmed to see the reply>> "I WAS SELECTED"
Project details, including the team members and the design will be mailed to me later. And this moment was really a dream come true, considering it was an invitation for projects for the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation-Sarai CSDS programme for short-term FLOSS fellowships
All in all, it was a memorable day.
Suddenly a sense of responsibility came over me and I am planning to take my Java, Linux and Python learning more seriously. Especially get more into swing and awt(java)
2. BroadBand dream comes true
After a long wait of more than 5 long months we decided to give up on our wait for BSNL broadband connection. Although its a really cool connection, all in all, chances I wont be getting in any time soon. So we contacted Asianet and applied for a broad band connection - 24 hours, 128 kbps, and best of all -> no download limit(BSNL connection has this restriction)
Chances are I will get the connection by Monday or Tuesday.
Due to slow connection and also the night factor(net acess only from 10 pm to 6 AM) I have been missing my Kung-Fu classes a lot lately. So having this connection, could save a lot of time and I dont have to miss my dear Kung-Fu classes any more.
So two birds for one stone - I get a cool broadband connection, I get to attend kung-fu classes everyday without sacrificing on the net.
Other news
When I called my brother he informed me that, he would be joining karate classes from tomorrow onwards, and best part is that- he gets to join from where he stopped, namely brown belt. He had been missing the classes especially after coming to Pune and could not find any place for karate classes.
Ok bye guys

Towards a rich BroadBand Experience
(Pretty fast, huh ?)Today guys from BSNL(It's a national phone company) came and installed a cool phone at my home. The first step towards a cool reliable and blazing fast(comparitively) net connection. Next we need to apply for the broadband connection, stating the current phone no: as the base.
As you must be probably aware, I am surfing with a dial-up connection. So some "fast" days ahead I suppose.
Nandu, today told me that, he plans to look more into EJB(Enterprise Java Beans)After working with JSP for the NIIT project, I too have started to feel the rush for some JavaBean programming. Hopefully, I will have some good news to share with you, in the coming days, I suppose.
Bye
