Hi List,
[x-post from FSUG-Bangalore ML]
Here is another story from a student of BMS college in Bangalore who recently had a similar event conducted by A.Fadia.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ howdy guys,
thank you for starting this topic.As you know the same seminar was held at BMS college on tuesday this week! thanks for breaking the silence since a lot of guys here know that im from bms and unfortunately a lot do also know that he was in bmsce.
this was just his publicity stunt. since he's running out of book material!(ie: since he cant find anymore stuff to strip off!) he decided to pull a certification program and this is sort of a campaign for it.
anyways let me get to some juice... a week back my hod told me that he was coming and i exclaimed back that he was a big joke!...a lamer...and that the first book was nothing but a rip off from GTMHH! but since we did'nt invite him and he invited himself with a fancy letter we had to have him down.
whatever said...i was not keen on his arrival. on the day of the seminar, tuesday, i am asked to start with the introduction speech for the seminar...damn!..i was seriously hoping to escape but being prez of the cse dept thats not right is, it?
so we are sitting in the room back stage and ankit arrives...he sat down switches on his laptop, and goes through his stuff. a reliance guy hands him the mobile internet kit and begins to try and connect online since he needs it for his seminar. im jus watching.
problem begins. ankit is unable to configure the net conn. he calls up someone again from reliance... let me talk about the conversation here. its one way but you here the man speaking which is essential enough for us!
"im unable to connect to the net"
"uh huh...ok... where is that...control panel?"
"wait a sec...let me reach there"
"ok now do i have to double click this?"
i had to excuse myself out... way too much to handle.... i needed a smoke and a laugh....
ultimately he was 30 min late... due to the complex, intricate problems with connecting to the world wide web and the crowd was getting frantic, and jittery
as one of you already pointed out- no code. none.
some of the essential demos you missed are!: * using proxy's! (better kick yourself now) * using anonymizer.com! * forge an email (everyone got busy taking down notes for the telnet cmd) * using netbus (wow!)
i have no problems with the guy. my issue with him is simple- if he tells me he is a business man i ll shake his hand. congratulate him in fact for realizing such an obvious market which no one struck before. but if he tells me he is a hacker then thats crossing some line.
cheerio guys
