Today, I completed the configuration of sms section of Bizzard.info. It is my first completed using PHP and MySQL database. The database structure is very simple and each category of short messages uses individual tables. So, further categories can be created easily by just adding a new table and a few changes in the PHP files. Its currently under testing and contains only few sms’s.

The sms section can be reached at http://www.bizzard.info/sms/

The profusehost server where most part of my sites are hosted was down for more than two days due to some maintainance works. It was the longest down time, I ever had with profusehost and its ok now. As per the administrator of Profuse Community, the downtime lasted only for a small time, and the downtime that we had was due to the DNS errors. As per the WebCEO monitoring of my site, the estimated downtime was 56h 5min 28sec. But still, I recommend profusehost for free hosting.

I came across this site http://www.shutdownday.org/ and was interested by the idea of shutting down the computer for 24 hours continuously. Though its has not much impact on common people, it has great impact on professionals. Just think what all a computer professional can do, with his computer shut down for 24 hours…! And also, how much energy can be saved…! So, I am gonna promote it. Placed a small ad in my site and changed my status message in IM’s.

If you are interested in the idea, check out the site and participate in the survey…

Today, there was a felicitation event for the last year Calicut university rank holders from MESCE. There was a total of around 30 ranks announced by the university and the college bagged 15. The event took place in the college auditorium, in which air conditioning works are being carried out. Few of the rank holders were present in the event, but the interesting thing was that there were ranks for almost every branches, but not for computer science. 🙁

The ray of hope was that more than 60 students from both 3rd and 4th year got placement in ‘INFOSYS’ through the campus recruitment which took place yesterday. Hope I could also reach a shore before the college life is over.

The strike continued today too. But, there were rumors that some from girl’s hostel attended the exams and they just wrote their name and roll no in the answer paper. Anyway, the majority didn’t attend the exam and are hoping for a retest. A few of us(more than 10) went for the film, “Annan Thambi”, of Mammooty, which was released yesterday. At Popular Paradise, Valanchery, we had to wait for about 2 hours for the film to start. The film was interesting and Mammooty is in double role.

The IPL Twenty20(T20) also starts today. The days coming are that of T20 cricket. Details of IPL T20 can be found at http://www.iplt20.com/.
