How I'd been these past few days

It's been some time since i posted my journals here. Basically, I've been busy with a lot of stuffs. Shristi 2009, the annual techno-management fest of NERIST is about to start from 6th to end on the 8th of April 2009.

As the site developer and administrator of the official Shristi site, www.shristi.org, I'd been pretty busy keeping it up with the requirements. The Shristi Open Rubik's Cube event which is going to be held at an international level is one such awaited event; and the workshops given on Robotics by the the Professional Mumbai based Robotics firm, Technophilia and the workshop on Ethical Hacking and information Security under Kyrion, a Delhi based hacking club were magnificient. I gained much knowledge from the workshops delivered by Kyrion and today, there is going to be a small competition on live hacking and am hoping for a good outcome.

Moreover, the annual Magazine of NERIST, the Altius 2009 (Vol VIII) has just been done with the graphics and design part has already printed and about to be released on the start of the Shristi 2009. It took me around 3 days to complete the whole graphics, designs and layouts for the magazine.

Apart from that, shortly from now, I'll developing a complete site for the BioInformatics center newly opened under the Department of Forestry, NERIST.

Welcome to pTAMz.

Current work I'm taking up is developing KanglaPark.com.

Kanglapark.com is the Manipuri social networking site. An approach to connect the people of Manipur. With the emergence and the unpopularity of sites like manipurfriendfinder.com, there still are works to be done. I hope KanglaPark will get some attention though.

KanglaPark.com is powered by Joomla with Joomunity. Joomunity component is just released as

Beta 2 and there still are some really unwanted bugs and I'm working on correcting the php codes and some errors. As soon as the bugs are free, I'll be releasing KanglaPark.com as the beta version. Let's see how far KanglaPark can go.

KanglaPark: Get Social Icon

The most recent work I've done is developing a website for our college at www.nerist.ac.in. Since I'm not much an expert in the new CSS plateform, the site has some 'looks' problem on Firefox and Chrome; although everything is perfect with IE 5 and above. The site has been launched under Phase 1 as still there are a lot of changes to be made. You'll fing many links still under construction as they are in the process of development. The main server, who originally was hosted my ernet at New Delhi, India was shifted to NERIST E.T. Cell and so, updation can be done in a flash. With usual college stuffs and exams approaching, the next phase is likely to fall next year.

Before this, I've developed the NERIST training ang Placement Website at www.tnpnerist.com. Searching for cheap domain registrar and hosting service was a challenge. However, I made it at the end and I enjoyed developing the site. Currently, around 140 users registered to the site and it is functioning properly.

Here are a few stuffs I've prepared myself: logos, posters and general stuffs I've created over time. I'm sharing those which i've rendered at Coreldraw, Photoshop, Illustrator, and simple MS Paint!!.

Students' Union of NERIST dot org

As the Information and Publicity Secy for the Students' Union of NERIST (SUN), I was assigned to launch a website for the union.

I tried registering the website at the yahoo small business section, the main reason being "cheap". Later, since I don't have a credit card and the payment was made through my paypal account, the order was cancelled and I'd to look for some other options. I tried for domainsarefree.com and they accept payments through credit cards only, and so i'd to opt out that option again. Finally, as usual, where all my other domains are registered, I went for Namecheap and use the october coupon code "INDIANSUMMER" and get a discount of 88 cents. Well before that i tried Godaddy.com but they ask for some $14+ and I obviously had to go for other cheaper ones.

SUN is now online as studentsunionofnerist.org. The website will be officially launched in a few days as I'm working on it right now.

For my Shillong trip, i'll post a few pics in my next post. Lots of stuffs to do.. aint it??

Web Administration

I've been working on developing every bit of the NERIST  Training and placement website . Being an official website, I'm not allowed to do what I use to do with my own sites. I've developed and launched a dozen other websites but they were done on my own interest and I'd run a few other blogs running sponsored posts but this time, web administration has make a turn for me because of the responsibility i've put into.

If you are a web administrator, you prob'ly know how it's like to maintain such an active website under your own moderation. The site is strictly moderated just to ensure that only NERIST students are registered and moderating every students is a tough task coz you hardly know all the 1200 students on campus.

I have used the ever popular Joomla CMS there and I just installed the Fireboard forum. I've had enough experiences running this component and some others while i was on my own XAMPP server at the early developing phase and I kinda like Fireboard. Let's see how the users respond to this new forum. The reason why I'm saying is that, hardly people know the use of forums. Everybody is busy with social networking sites or youtube and thats one reason why i put a poll at the homepage "Does tnpnerist needs a forum?"

O my..it's creative!!

I was browsing through the usual stuffs at our college LAN network comprising of a few hundreds of personal computers. I saw these shopping bags and i think they are really cool!!

Congrates to the original creator.
