Gallery update! I got some decent shots of our university at dusk. Check it out!!

This Greasemonkey script encrypts the contents of a text box on a web page using the rot13 cipher at the click of a button.
If there is a clean text box on a page, the e13 button pops up next to it. Click on it and the text inside the box will be rotated by 13.
well, here are some examples of the operation

Here is a related post which explains how to install Greasemonkey.

Firstly, I was trying some arbit queries on my site’s backend database and two very simple queries returned the quot;Most Popularquot; and quot;Least Popularquot; nodes of this page, which has been added.
Secondly, a new quot;artquot; section has been added.
Lastly, a new song is available for download. I have been getting mixed responses for this song. Some people told me it was outrageous while some agreed it was quot;not badquot;. Get it in the music section!

Node Gravity is an attempt to visualize website stats using principles of physics.

Each article on this page falls into a category like downloads, news, projects etc. nodeGravity uses the number of visits to that particular category and the number of nodes in that category to render and visualize web stats according to Planck’s black body radiation and Newton’s Law of Universal gravitation.

Here is an example

Simple interpretation of the stats are this

• Each category forms a star.
• The size(mass) of the star is based on the number of nodes in that category
• The color of the star tells us how quot;hotquot; the current category is with the visitors.
• Hotter a star, the color will be more towards the blue. It means, that this category is currently getting a lot hits.

The color is calculated using Plank’s black body radiation laws, which says that the hotter a star is, the lesser the wavelength of the emitted light will be.

Newton’s Law of universal gravitation comes in to associate energy to each node, based on its mass and number of visits.

jam mASHtra: Just a minute mastering ashtra ( Asthra in sanskrit means tool)

Last year, for Udbhav at MSRIT, I conducted a Kannada Jam competition. The day before the competition, I was worried that no one will turn up for the competition. I thought it would be a flop. But to my surprise, the event saw a full house audience. I was forced to finish the competition by the admin staff since I had exceeded my time slot, but the audience did not listen and forced me to conduct it for some more time!
It was a thrilling experience.
One of the reasons behind the success of the event was, jam mASHtra.

jam mASHtra: Is an automatic and easy to use jam timer. I coded this the day before the event just to save myself from keeping insane jam logs for each participant.

jam mASHtra is very intuitive to use and if you know how to conduct a JAM, things will simply flow.

In a lightning speed hack, I changed the interface to the gallery and it looks surprisingly good. A sneak preview is shown here

You can visit the galley section to check it out.
quot;The dayquot; is here! This update is a part of the celebrations.

Now you can find the prelims papers set for aavishkaar 2006 and int06h debugging and optimization contests in the downloads section.

More retro downloads coming up as a part of the run up to quot;the dayquot;.
So, keep watching!!

Updates! These are the last few in row for this semester. I have one or two more, after that there may be a long pause on the update front.
Change Log:

1. Clicking on the Random image link takes you to the gallery and displays the image clicked on. Earlier, this did not happen and people had to randomly look for the random image
2. Now you can view all the nodes on this page by clicking on the quot;Allquot; link in the more content tab.
3. Changed the shamelessly hacked random image code to work better. It works fine even from external embedded links and I got rid of PNGrandomimage.php which was an exclusively hacked version of randomimage.php for external links.
4. Last and not the least, the dude is enlightened

New images from my Chicago trip is up in the gallery. Click on the link to view them.

The best part of the trip was Lake Michigan and my first snow experience. It was indeed amazing to see snowflakes and their brilliant shapes. I have not added images from the lake, but I will add them soon.
