>solved the internet problem at home, got the modem fixed. Friends in ECE do come in handy..;)
>started helping Stainder with his problem of creating reports, one of the main tasks of the TCC automation problem.
>Satinder has worked most of the need, but was stuck in some part of the problem, worked with him, sorted out the problem for him. The main problem was whether he should use form or formset, to meet our needs. So we decided to go with the classic forms to get the solution of the problem, this solved the problem to some extent.
>finding a proper javascript that sandeep requires, searched and searched but dont know how to search for it, actually dont know what to type to get it.

30OCT2012-day134
>Very awkward day for me:(
>H.S. Rai sir asked me to do a job for him, but I had to pass the job to Sandeep and Harman, as I was the only senior member available that day to coordinate the placement drive by a company, since I had promised before to coordinate drive a day before.

>Came to know that PTU refered to the very big brand name CII(has industrial tie ups in india and abroad with over 10,000 big and small companies), that they take the help of GNDEC-TnP team to coordinate their Expo to be held for four days-1,2,3 and 4 NOV. I was personally asked by Mann Sir to take over this task.
>Back to my TCC script, it is working well with almost every laptop I know. Just giving one problem. The part of the script installs some softwares but on some systems the script stops or skips the part while waiting for "0% waiting for headers". Looking for the problem, searched the internet but didn't get much satisfactory answer.
>finally on some laptops the script starts the automation without any error, very close to achive a perfect working script( in terms of functionality)
>had to leave at 4 to meet the CII- Ludhiana Fair , main coordinator and manager.
1NOV2012-day136
>Finally talked to sir about the CII exhibition, but me myself was feeling very shy asking for halfday from sir, as its been a week since I worked seriously.
>The "0% waiting for header" problem now getting serious, script didnt work on another system just because of it.
>Inder did help me from this problem but I dont kknow how to implement this on the script user's system from outside or from the script.
>he stated that It was due to unablility to update packages, which was lead by partial packages installed to the system.
>the problem was solved by removing the partial packages.
>whew....!! it worked.

Happy Diwali, Happy Vishkarma Day and Happy Children's Day.
13 Nov2012- Diwali...
It's the day when Light(truth) wins over darkness(evil), It used to remind me of the famous OATH of Green Lanterns(fiction)
"In brightest day, in blackest night.....
No evil shall escape my sight......
Let those who worship evil's might.....
Beware my power, Green Lantern's light....!!!" just love it..
14Nov2012--Vishkarma Day and Children's Days
Vishwakarma, the divine engineer / architect, constructed Svarga (Heaven), Lanka, holy city of Dwarka, the Maya Sabha of the Pandavas; created many fabulous weapons for the gods. (via - H.S. Rai)
15NOV2012-day-145
>Working with the script again.
>Added new and improved automation folder to the TCC-script(sandeep's repository)
>made changes corresponding to the new folder, alot to change now.
>Finally software functioning properly with less error(almost 0 error).
>making changes constantly with the script.
>added a database checking module to check whether the database exist before, if it exists then the script asks for a new name as the last enterd database exists and cannot be overwritten for now
>getting the script run on different systems and checking the problems different systems are facing.
>getting new problems, solving them is kind of fun.:)
16NOV2012-day146
>Script Script all the way.
>Took help from Harman, tested the script, checked logs for errors(so far none error) happy:)
>Sir emailed on GD about the script, errors that he came accorss.(many errors)
>I tried to reply each one, with best of my knowledge.
>got appreciation on some parts but found flaws in some parts of the script.
>going to improvise the script.
>Microsoft test tomorrow, big day for me.:)
17NOV2012-day147
>Just reached home from a 3 hour bus ride after giving the First round
of Microsoft placement test. Sadly couldn't clear the round. :(
>About the test, there were 15 questions out of these 15, 4 were
difficult maths questions(miscellaneous) which I was able to solve and
rest were pure C programs with multiple answers, which I felt
difficult and I think I answered most of them wrong.
>There was no negative marking, so we were free to answer all.
>I think this is the 3-4 big MNC which I have encountered so far, that
demands C. So in our curriculum shouldn't C be added just as we have
C++, java, .Net ?
>Working on automatic generation of login name, did a lot of seach, ended up finding couple of solutions, none suited for my requirements.
>In the end, one solution did gave me what I wanted, but there was this problem that I run the script with sudo power and with sudo the user becomes ROOT not the login user, so there was a big issue to it.
>searching again for the solution.
18NOV2012-day148
Its Deepinder Singh Kular's B'day(one of my best friends)
Had a long enjoyable day with everybody, though I had to wake up at 5 to reach his place to wish him(our 3 yr old traditions, to wish a friend on his bday, same thing will happen to me on my bday:))
>The script was last stuck on the point where the sudo converts the login user to ROOT, when I reached home and checked GD, sir had posted a solution for my problem.
>I cheecked for the sulution, ran it, it worked but I wouldnt work for me as I needed not only to print the Loginuser, but to input it into a variable and then use it for what I needed.
>I looked on the internet before replying, and hence got something that worked for me.
>The script checks the loginuser automatically and then displays it to the user.:)
>added the concept that If Automation folder exists before in the Home directory, then the script renames the previous folder with the name "Automation_old" and then clones the new folder "Automation".
>So far working well, got different people to test it and look for loopholes.
>very tired going to sleep.
19NOV2012-day149
>Script working fine.
>Learnt many new things about scripting, feeling contented and satisfied.
>I had to add some new part to the script, I learnt the logic and moulded into script without any problem and in just one attempt. :D
>Worked the full day on removing the problem of superuser.
>now when a demo.sql is imported, a new superuser is created, when a new database is created, no matte what the user wants ha has to create a super user, thus the problem of creating super user, removed completely.
>Added the concept to check whether the table is empty or not, if empty perform a particular operation.
>Many problems sorted, with small changes just need to follow the coding standards.
>sir asked to work on creating our software a ppa, thus downloading and installing with just "sudo apt-get install Autotamtion". Wow.:)
>teaching mathematics1. :)
20NOV2012-day150
>script started giving some problems, got feedback from Harman.
>made a list of to do things in the script:
>> adding mysql connection check.
>> the existing Automation folder name gets renamed to Automation(date)(time)
>> the script begins with checking whether django is installed or not similarly with mysql, if not installed, it installs
>> running browser in sudo mode(works for me and harman but not for some systems)
>made a small script that checks whether mysql and django are installed or not, it. If not installed, it installs it to the system and if installed then it continues its work, havent added to the main automation script, but will add soon.
>had a nice conversation with Rai sir, about django and the script, he suggested me some improvements.
>again taught M1(exam tomorrow)
21NOV2012-day151
>M1 exam today, wished my friend, very best of luck.
>back on scripting, started searching for way to rename the folder with the date name, so as to remove trouble.
>earlier a check was put(single time check). If there was another folder with the name Automation present in the home directory while the script was running, the script would rename the folder Automation_old, this was a one time check, If the script was run again, it would give an error that Automation_old is already present in the Home directory.
>solving this problem I created a script, that checks for any folder with the name Automation, if there exists any folder with this name then The script changed the name of the existing folder with folder name - Automation (date)(time), which would always be different.
>but when I ran the script I had a folder with name Automation and the previous folder with name Automation(date)(time). This worked well till 2 tries, but with the third attempt the folder names got changed to Automation(date)(time) and Automation(date)(time)(date)(time).
>spent some time with the script, added my own logics to the existing script and now script works well, no repitition/redundancy in date and time.:)
22NOV2012-day152
>Script checking the Previously existing folder, working just fine.
>Sandeep just presented the new look for the Automation software, one word for it -Classy
>helpling sandeep fix problems with the new css, making changes to different files and adding changes to it.
>back to script, started working on the next thing to be added to the script-mysql check, searched and worked on scripts. But most of them failed to give what I wanted.
>Majority scripts were for sqlite and postgresql, I changed scripts, modifed them to work for mysql as well, but failed.
23NOV2012-day153
>No gain from the searched made last day, thinking of creating my own logic for it.
>finally putting the Automation software in testing phase, installing it on the TCC server, using python 2.6 instead of python 2.7. had to make small changes to make it work there.
>there was some problem with the script, because of the latest updation in the script, so manually changes were made.
>Software now running good on the server, giving just one little trouble, it's not showing the background image on the systems connected to the server.
>left for some personal work at 3.
26NOV2012-day154
>back from an enjoyable weekend.
>started the left over job, checking the mysql connection in shell script, not much help from the internet.
>so I decided to create my own logic, it took quite a lot of time but in the end, I created my own logic, I myself made a script that would ask for an username and password input, it would check it, if the input is correct, it proceeds with successful as the output and if failes , it gave "connection failed" as the output.
>Finally Satinder was able to complete his first properly working report, he's now working on creating a function to make multiple reports.
>still some problem with the background image, not showing up on the connected systems.
27NOV2012-day155
>back on working with the TCC server, trying to fix some issues with it. After some long hardwork finally able to add image to the backgrounds. Working on all systems.:-)

>off to Gurudwara, it's gurupurab tomorrow.:)
28NOV2012-day156
>took a day off, went to gurudwara, Happy Gurupurab to all.:-)
>started working on scripting, trying to learn new things.
>started with creating a webpage(html) using a shell script, so actually created a html page entirely from the shell script.(loved doing that)
>Added text boxes, radio buttons, submit buttons, leraning how to connect two html pages using shell scripting.
>trying to input html input into shell script and then run the shell script.
>searching for the solution, but fail. Looking for rishabh's work on slang translator.
29NOV2012-day157
>today I presented my script to the presented GD members, showed them, explained them the working of each and every command, showed them the errors I made and future scope of the script
>everybody liked the script, got good reviews and new ideas to improve it and make it foolproof
>removed a very big but silly mistake that I pushed to my repository, I was testing a part of script with constant values than the variables and it worked for me, without thinking much I pushed it to my account, while I was showing my script to everybody I saw it and edited it immediately.:p
>making further changes.:-)
30NOV2012-day158
>Feeling like an expert script writer, helped a few newbies(love calling them newbies) on a facebook scripting group.
>Learning and improving concepts, learning never ends, just keeps on going on.
>Discussed few points with Harman, about the Client or the user, how dumb should he be considered, the discussion went on and on. So in the end it was thought to ask Rai sir about it.
>Removed useless parts from the script and added few new things and better comments for the better understanding.
>working on the last improvision(running script anywhere not only Home), installing in any directory.

>solved the internet problem at home, got the modem fixed. Friends in ECE do come in handy..;)
>started helping Stainder with his problem of creating reports, one of the main tasks of the TCC automation problem.
>Satinder has worked most of the need, but was stuck in some part of the problem, worked with him, sorted out the problem for him. The main problem was whether he should use form or formset, to meet our needs. So we decided to go with the classic forms to get the solution of the problem, this solved the problem to some extent.
>finding a proper javascript that sandeep requires, searched and searched but dont know how to search for it, actually dont know what to type to get it.

30OCT2012-day134
>Very awkward day for me:(
>H.S. Rai sir asked me to do a job for him, but I had to pass the job to Sandeep and Harman, as I was the only senior member available that day to coordinate the placement drive by a company, since I had promised before to coordinate drive a day before.

>Came to know that PTU refered to the very big brand name CII(has industrial tie ups in india and abroad with over 10,000 big and small companies), that they take the help of GNDEC-TnP team to coordinate their Expo to be held for four days-1,2,3 and 4 NOV. I was personally asked by Mann Sir to take over this task.
>Back to my TCC script, it is working well with almost every laptop I know. Just giving one problem. The part of the script installs some softwares but on some systems the script stops or skips the part while waiting for "0% waiting for headers". Looking for the problem, searched the internet but didn't get much satisfactory answer.
>finally on some laptops the script starts the automation without any error, very close to achive a perfect working script( in terms of functionality)
>had to leave at 4 to meet the CII- Ludhiana Fair , main coordinator and manager.
1NOV2012-day136
>Finally talked to sir about the CII exhibition, but me myself was feeling very shy asking for halfday from sir, as its been a week since I worked seriously.
>The "0% waiting for header" problem now getting serious, script didnt work on another system just because of it.
>Inder did help me from this problem but I dont kknow how to implement this on the script user's system from outside or from the script.
>he stated that It was due to unablility to update packages, which was lead by partial packages installed to the system.
>the problem was solved by removing the partial packages.
>whew....!! it worked.

Happy Diwali, Happy Vishkarma Day and Happy Children's Day.
13 Nov2012- Diwali...
It's the day when Light(truth) wins over darkness(evil), It used to remind me of the famous OATH of Green Lanterns(fiction)
"In brightest day, in blackest night.....
No evil shall escape my sight......
Let those who worship evil's might.....
Beware my power, Green Lantern's light....!!!" just love it..
14Nov2012--Vishkarma Day and Children's Days
Vishwakarma, the divine engineer / architect, constructed Svarga (Heaven), Lanka, holy city of Dwarka, the Maya Sabha of the Pandavas; created many fabulous weapons for the gods. (via - H.S. Rai)
15NOV2012-day-145
>Working with the script again.
>Added new and improved automation folder to the TCC-script(sandeep's repository)
>made changes corresponding to the new folder, alot to change now.
>Finally software functioning properly with less error(almost 0 error).
>making changes constantly with the script.
>added a database checking module to check whether the database exist before, if it exists then the script asks for a new name as the last enterd database exists and cannot be overwritten for now
>getting the script run on different systems and checking the problems different systems are facing.
>getting new problems, solving them is kind of fun.:)
16NOV2012-day146
>Script Script all the way.
>Took help from Harman, tested the script, checked logs for errors(so far none error) happy:)
>Sir emailed on GD about the script, errors that he came accorss.(many errors)
>I tried to reply each one, with best of my knowledge.
>got appreciation on some parts but found flaws in some parts of the script.
>going to improvise the script.
>Microsoft test tomorrow, big day for me.:)
17NOV2012-day147
>Just reached home from a 3 hour bus ride after giving the First round
of Microsoft placement test. Sadly couldn't clear the round. :(
>About the test, there were 15 questions out of these 15, 4 were
difficult maths questions(miscellaneous) which I was able to solve and
rest were pure C programs with multiple answers, which I felt
difficult and I think I answered most of them wrong.
>There was no negative marking, so we were free to answer all.
>I think this is the 3-4 big MNC which I have encountered so far, that
demands C. So in our curriculum shouldn't C be added just as we have
C++, java, .Net ?
>Working on automatic generation of login name, did a lot of seach, ended up finding couple of solutions, none suited for my requirements.
>In the end, one solution did gave me what I wanted, but there was this problem that I run the script with sudo power and with sudo the user becomes ROOT not the login user, so there was a big issue to it.
>searching again for the solution.
18NOV2012-day148
Its Deepinder Singh Kular's B'day(one of my best friends)
Had a long enjoyable day with everybody, though I had to wake up at 5 to reach his place to wish him(our 3 yr old traditions, to wish a friend on his bday, same thing will happen to me on my bday:))
>The script was last stuck on the point where the sudo converts the login user to ROOT, when I reached home and checked GD, sir had posted a solution for my problem.
>I cheecked for the sulution, ran it, it worked but I wouldnt work for me as I needed not only to print the Loginuser, but to input it into a variable and then use it for what I needed.
>I looked on the internet before replying, and hence got something that worked for me.
>The script checks the loginuser automatically and then displays it to the user.:)
>added the concept that If Automation folder exists before in the Home directory, then the script renames the previous folder with the name "Automation_old" and then clones the new folder "Automation".
>So far working well, got different people to test it and look for loopholes.
>very tired going to sleep.
19NOV2012-day149
>Script working fine.
>Learnt many new things about scripting, feeling contented and satisfied.
>I had to add some new part to the script, I learnt the logic and moulded into script without any problem and in just one attempt. :D
>Worked the full day on removing the problem of superuser.
>now when a demo.sql is imported, a new superuser is created, when a new database is created, no matte what the user wants ha has to create a super user, thus the problem of creating super user, removed completely.
>Added the concept to check whether the table is empty or not, if empty perform a particular operation.
>Many problems sorted, with small changes just need to follow the coding standards.
>sir asked to work on creating our software a ppa, thus downloading and installing with just "sudo apt-get install Autotamtion". Wow.:)
>teaching mathematics1. :)
20NOV2012-day150
>script started giving some problems, got feedback from Harman.
>made a list of to do things in the script:
>> adding mysql connection check.
>> the existing Automation folder name gets renamed to Automation(date)(time)
>> the script begins with checking whether django is installed or not similarly with mysql, if not installed, it installs
>> running browser in sudo mode(works for me and harman but not for some systems)
>made a small script that checks whether mysql and django are installed or not, it. If not installed, it installs it to the system and if installed then it continues its work, havent added to the main automation script, but will add soon.
>had a nice conversation with Rai sir, about django and the script, he suggested me some improvements.
>again taught M1(exam tomorrow)
21NOV2012-day151
>M1 exam today, wished my friend, very best of luck.
>back on scripting, started searching for way to rename the folder with the date name, so as to remove trouble.
>earlier a check was put(single time check). If there was another folder with the name Automation present in the home directory while the script was running, the script would rename the folder Automation_old, this was a one time check, If the script was run again, it would give an error that Automation_old is already present in the Home directory.
>solving this problem I created a script, that checks for any folder with the name Automation, if there exists any folder with this name then The script changed the name of the existing folder with folder name - Automation (date)(time), which would always be different.
>but when I ran the script I had a folder with name Automation and the previous folder with name Automation(date)(time). This worked well till 2 tries, but with the third attempt the folder names got changed to Automation(date)(time) and Automation(date)(time)(date)(time).
>spent some time with the script, added my own logics to the existing script and now script works well, no repitition/redundancy in date and time.:)
22NOV2012-day152
>Script checking the Previously existing folder, working just fine.
>Sandeep just presented the new look for the Automation software, one word for it -Classy
>helpling sandeep fix problems with the new css, making changes to different files and adding changes to it.
>back to script, started working on the next thing to be added to the script-mysql check, searched and worked on scripts. But most of them failed to give what I wanted.
>Majority scripts were for sqlite and postgresql, I changed scripts, modifed them to work for mysql as well, but failed.
23NOV2012-day153
>No gain from the searched made last day, thinking of creating my own logic for it.
>finally putting the Automation software in testing phase, installing it on the TCC server, using python 2.6 instead of python 2.7. had to make small changes to make it work there.
>there was some problem with the script, because of the latest updation in the script, so manually changes were made.
>Software now running good on the server, giving just one little trouble, it's not showing the background image on the systems connected to the server.
>left for some personal work at 3.
26NOV2012-day154
>back from an enjoyable weekend.
>started the left over job, checking the mysql connection in shell script, not much help from the internet.
>so I decided to create my own logic, it took quite a lot of time but in the end, I created my own logic, I myself made a script that would ask for an username and password input, it would check it, if the input is correct, it proceeds with successful as the output and if failes , it gave "connection failed" as the output.
>Finally Satinder was able to complete his first properly working report, he's now working on creating a function to make multiple reports.
>still some problem with the background image, not showing up on the connected systems.
27NOV2012-day155
>back on working with the TCC server, trying to fix some issues with it. After some long hardwork finally able to add image to the backgrounds. Working on all systems.:-)
>updated the script, working on fixing the errors.
>working with sandeep fix some problems of the tcc software
>off to Gurudwara, it's gurupurab tomorrow.:)
28NOV2012-day156
>took a day off, went to gurudwara, Happy Gurupurab to all.:-)
>started working on scripting, trying to learn new things.

>today I presented my script to the presented GD members, showed them, explained them the working of each and every command, showed them the errors I made and future scope of the script
>everybody liked the script, got good reviews and new ideas to improve it and make it foolproof
>removed a very big but silly mistake that I pushed to my repository, I was testing a part of script with constant values than the variables and it worked for me, without thinking much I pushed it to my account, while I was showing my script to everybody I saw it and edited it immediately.:p
>making further changes.:-)

>Feeling like an expert script writer, helped a few newbies(love calling them newbies) on a facebook scripting group.
>Learning and improving concepts, learning never ends, just keeps on going on.
>Discussed few points with Harman, about the Client or the user, how dumb should he be considered, the discussion went on and on. So in the end it was thought to ask Rai sir about it.
>Removed useless parts from the script and added few new things and better comments for the better understanding.
>working on the last improvision(running script anywhere not only Home), installing in any directory.

>Reached at 10 am, in the chilling morning, loved it.:D
>Very less attendence, only 5 of us present today and had a wonderful time today interacting with sir, talking and discussing.
>We discussed Harman's new task at GCI about creating an L at an elevation and an angle with some transparency, all of us actively participated in it, loved it
>Had a discussion on the teachings and how we analyse them, I read some things back in time and never thought of analysing them,:O
>script has along way to go, mad improvements, and hoping to add more by this week.

>Got new idea to solve the problem of installing/running the script anywhere in the system instead of Home folder only.
>I was able to save the value of enviornment variable in a variable(did it long back) but was trying to use that variable in sed command, failed failed and failed, but I think I did it, I used $PWD in sed command, sounds like it is possible.
>Installed the Automation software in Documents with manual changes, I hope with some changes I can do it.
>I installed Automation software in Music directory :-) and it is running, and the problem of sudo is soon to be removed, just one step behind, once this destination problem is solved next problem is running it as a normal user and not as a sudo user, working on it
>Works on my system, eagerly waiting to upload the changes to sandeep's account in github. :D
