In other news…

Viju Jacob George tried to do a prank on me, but it backfired! He sent me a URL which looked like a psychology test. The test asked you to input the names of the girls you had a crush on. Some how I guessed that this was a prank. So I entered some vulgar comments about him in those text fields and to my own astonishment everything got mailed to his e-mail address! Later I met Viju…he tells me he will get his revenge some day (oops! thats scary…).

I think Barnabas rectified the problem with the peer evaluation system. They are filtering non-alpha-numeric characters from the password field. But they are not filtering the username field still now….this could pose a problem. But I dont have time to think about all that right now. Exams will start on Sep 5th. Lets play Kevin Mitnick later when I get some time.

Kevin Mitnick in the making…

I must be happiest person on this planet today. I hacked into the Peer Evaluation System at school using a simple SQL Injection technique. I demonstrated it to my subject leader Dr. Yin Choon Meng by logging in to his account. I did a Username: yincm and Password: ‘ OR ‘x’='x
Now that means the password condition will always be true and that means I can log in into anyone’s account.

The bad side of the story was that Mr. Barnabas Woon (SQL Teacher) was also present at the demonstration and he did’nt like it. Only later did Justin (senior buddy) tell me that Peer Evaluation System was designed by Barnabas and his students. No wonder he is angry with me.

Barnabas reminds me of Prof. Snape in Harry Potter….!

I think they will rectify it soon before it is too late.

Director’s List Awards 2004

I have been awarded Director’s List Award 2004 for being in the top 10% of my cohort. It’s no big deal because I was just a one eyed man in the land of the blind. The photos at the function will only be available after 3 weeks.

The photo on the right shows my other friends and me after the function. The guy in the white suit is Pradeesh Lal, he was awarded for being the topper in Mechatronics.

Yahoo! ….no I mean Cisco and Philips

Dr. Yin told me that I will be working with Cisco/Philips next semester for my Student Internship Programme. If I go with Cisco I will be working on the server side of a new type of Cisco IP Phone. Its so amazing…so many good things happening at once

I guess I am not consistent enough this days. I started this blog long back and I never made a post for a long time after that dream I had….or may be it is because of my time killing part-time job at the 7-Eleven.

Anyway I checked with my doctor about those dreams. She says I was prescribed with Propranolol HCl BP(See picture) for preventing the frequent migraine attacks I have.
She says these medicines, and Propranolol in particular, can cause sleep disturbances with the occurrence of vivid dreams or nightmares and insomnia.

This is what I found on the internet:
Propranolol is a beta-adrenergic receptor blocking agent which blocks the action of the sympathetic nervous system and thereby reduces the heart rate and lowers blood pressure. Beta-blocker drugs are used in the treatment of high blood pressure and some studies have shown that they are also effective in preventing migraine attacks.

Looks like this is a bad brain drug…
