I had a viva today on DBMS (Data Base Management Systems) . Months ago, we were given an assignment on " Semester Examination System ", which was to create a database incorporating structures for all information regarding students, teachers, examinations, routines, results etc. and to show and manipulate the data through a graphical user interface. Every group was given one such assignment. We were free to choose any programming language for the projects. Few weeks ago we found that work had not progressed at all. As of then, only the E-R diagram was submitted and some tables of our database had been created. Most of the groups were doing their projects in Java and MySQL, which we learned in the previous semester. As I am trying to learn PHP for sometime now, I decided to make the GUI with PHP. I found it is easy to use PHP with mysql, as there are lot of functions in PHP to manipulate mysql database. Finally, we managed to get something ready to show in the viva. Though our ...

Comet 17P/Holmes exploded on 23-24 October and its brightness increased several times. Its magnitude changed from 17 to 2.5 in just few hours. Now it is a naked eye object. It's size has become even larger than that of the sun. It can be seen in the constellation Perseus near the star Mirfak. Just look at the north eastern sky after the evening. It is not very hard to find Perseus and Mirfak is the brightest star in the constellation. Just beside it you will find a hazy thing which is the comet. (It is easier to see if you don't look at it directly but a little sideways). On November 19, the comet will appear to 'swallow' Mirfak as it glides in front of Mirfak. With my 2.5 inch telescope it looks like a fuzzy ball. No tail is visible as the tail is directly behind it. Comet's tail is always directed opposite to the sun. And as Holmes rises in the east when sun sets in the west we can see only its head. Visit http://spaceweather.com for latest news. And Wikipedia is...

Here is a method I read in an online forum to create a folder with a blank name and make it invisible by changing the icon. First create a new folder. Right click on the folder and click rename. Erase the name of the folder so that there is nothing there. Now hold down the ALT key and press 0160 on the number pad (make sure Num Lock is on), release ALT. Now you should have a folder with nothing but a blank name. To make it invisible you have to change the icon to a blank one. Right click on the folder and click properties. On the customize tab you will find the change icon button. Press the button and select an icon that has no image. Hit OK and your folder will be invisible. But the folder is still there and you can select it and open it.
