BSNL Broadband disconnection problem solved

April 20th, 2010 by Sunil

Last couple of months I had trouble with my BSNL broadband connection. The problem happens after  upgrading my BSNL connection to multiplay. Multiplay connection offers you Internet Protocol television and video-on-demand to its broadband customers.  Ok, what ever it is, my broadband connection sucked. It restarts every few minutes and become stable after 15-20 minutes. Even it become stable it may reset again after some time, may be when you are downloading some files.

January 6th, 2010 by Sunil

Yesterday I visited Indian Science Congress exhibition at University of Kerala, Karyavattom. It is near to the technopark campus. This is the first time the Thiruvananthapuram hosts the Science congress and the second time in Kerala. It is quite interesting and it is a chance to general public to understand the science little more closely. The entry to the exhibition hall is free. (Even though it would be good to take your identity card along with you). A Kerala gramam has organised as the part of this. Here is some pictures which we took.

BSNL Broadband and new connection settings (Multi Play)

December 12th, 2009 by Sunil

Last couple of week I was busy with personal things and I could not open my home PC. Last Thursday I checked the home PC and realised that the Internet connection was not available. I checked the modem and Internet settings. It was perfect and I couldn’t able to find any problem.

I complained that day itself and didn’t get any response. Next day I rushed to BSNL office and asked the person who is in charge of the broadband. He said he has to check the modem. I gave the modem and he changed something. He said it will work. I asked what was the problem. He said the connection settings were updated and gave me a print out with new connection settings.

The popular online community Facebook is now available in some Indian languages. I never think that Facebook has that much popularity among the Malayalees. Most of the Malayalees using Orkut as their online community. Even it is supporting Malayalam scrap and all, but it not supporting Malayalam user interface. In this case Facebook got a step forward.

Kerala Cartoons… An open eye to Kerala

March 18th, 2009 by Sunil

I met Sajeeb long back when I was teaching some educational institutions. He always has a smile on his face. Later I understood that he is a good Cartoonist. He tried his talent not only on the paper but also in the computer. He is popularly known as Khan Pothencode.

He always has an urge to study new technology. On that time macromedia flash was a new technology. He wants to study that. I haven’t had a better idea of Flash. But I taught him the basics of Flash. 

Recently I met him online. He sent this link to me. Keralacatoons.blogspot.com. I think now he is a good flash animator. His creative are listed there. His cartoons are coming with a good sense of humour and provocation.

I wish him all the best.
