Test series

You might be wondering why there is a gap for new posts since the last two days.I just wanted to write this before , but time didn't permit me.I was busy with my test series 2 which was completed yesterday.I took up two subjects in this semester as my electives.One is Spread Spectrum Techniques and other is Knowledge Management.Ahh!!! Spread Spectrum course is a bit tougher this time.Course is WCDMA ,Multi user detection and two research papers with theme of performance evaluation of CDMA system.Lot of stuff for mugging which I tried to manage hardly.Anyways the paper went on fine.Moreover I made 2-3 diagrams of systems in the paper apart from regular theory.I hope Sharma ji give me good marks this time :) .
After that I had KM.I pray these Professional department (PD) teachers to treat us like engineers not MBA's.JIIT noida PD department provides you with such a high range numerical problems that are tougher even than mathematics and physics problems.I remember my days when I struggled in the Managerial Economics and Financial management in my 3rd sem,when the numerical s used to be damn big and tougher.The same happened with KM also this time.When I saw the paper,there are just 4 questions in which 2 of them are high weighted numerical problems whose solutions can't be determined.Still I have to pass the one hour time making something and something with common sense rather than bookish knowledge which I was doing in the PD papers since the last 4 years,hehe. Huhh!!! Anyways the test series went on good and We celebrated the ending with a A1 batch photo session and a party yesterday night.

Yahoo messenger hack for getting tabs in IM window

I already told you about the new Yahoo messenger for Windows Vista, which is getting worked up right from the ground level.It is going to come with themes that match with the Windows Vista and many other features like getting integrated with windows live messenger....It will also have one feature which makes it unique from the traditional yahoo messenger i.e tabbed IM windows as shown in the figure.In the present version, one more IM window opens for every conversation you do.But in the next version all the conversations will be done as tabs in a single window just like as it happens in Gaim , instead of messing up your taskbar with different windows.This tab feature is also present in Yahoo messenger 8.You can just use this feature by downloading the following registry hacks.First one is to on the feature and the second one is to turn it off.

Yahoo messenger 8 IM window tab on hack
Yahoo messenger 8 IM window tab off hack

After downloading the files,run the tabbed_im_on.reg file.It will ask something like this "Are you sure you want to add the information to the registry??" click on yes and it will say information added to registry.For turning the hack off,run the second file and do the same above procedure.

The problems with the tabbed feature is that it won't show any notification if there are new messages in the newly opened tabs.it wont show in which tab the new message has arrived.It even won't update the title of the IM window when you navigate through different tabs.wackyb has got a hack which corrects the problems.
