The script is not a biggie. It just sends sends the predefined text to the predefined number in an infinte While loop which sleeps for the defined seconds before the next iteration.

How to execute ? If you don’t have the Python installed in your Series 60 phone, get it here. Just copy the above snippet create a new ‘I_am_so_kewl.py‘ file in your pc, paste and save the above snippet. Then transfer the file to the Python directory in the mem card/phone memory. Open Python shell in the phone (usually in the ‘Applications’ folder), Options->Run Script-> Browser for ‘I_am_so_kewl.py’, execute it and watch the magic happen. Make sure that once you run the sript you don’t exit the python shell, you can just click the menu button and python will silently run with the evil script in the background. If you’re just curious to check how many messages have been sent, just open the python shell again and you’d have the latest counter read printed (add 1 to it; I was too lazy to increment it in the script).

Special thanks goes to my first victim for being the guinea pig and the inspiration behind this. Some might look at the code, the other way and might put this into work for evil purpose; I don’t endorse that.

Following are some ‘action-shots’ of the n82 GPS.

Yes, I’m a GPS freak. Viva la GPS!

Seriously, what is that ? Apparently he wanted to ‘prove’ that since a person can sue anyone, he should try suing god and become ‘joe the plumber‘ (I mean the media attention). The court, in turn threw out the case stating “that because the defendant has no address, legal papers cannot be served.”

We could surely expect, some other smart-ass to sue his (I’ve to be sexist here; I don’t want to be called a perv) own genitals with charges of ‘excessive irritation, poor performance & distraction‘ one day. Who knows the court might throw this one out too; stating that ‘the defendant has no proper address‘

Rest, aren’t worth mentioning, though I’ve decided to keep both my old and new pc. About Websites, I sold cropr.in (rebranded to a new site now) for a mid $xxx value at sitepoint. It was an AJAX cropper + resizer. Then, sold sprif.com an AJAX site again for $500 at sitepoint.

Now it’s the time to shoot and burn some stuff, game I mean

On a positive note, I didn’t really have any problem with running this script on IE (I usually have to break my head over this matter). To prelude its features, I guess it does everything you’d normally except a contact form to do. It sanitizes all the variables, checks for the Email structure and disabled the submit button once the email is sent to prevent mass emails. I would like to thank SecondVersion and Psyrens for the PHP backend & ajax captcha respectively. As usual I’m lazy to provide a detailed documentation about it and would *make sure* that I write one in the future. But the whole script isn’t obfuscated at all, you’d just have to edit some constants and woo! it’s done.

I’m currently working on integrating this script as a wordpress plugin. Please let me know any bugs/commments/feedback by commenting below or contacting me. Show-off your own modified version of this script here

I don’t have anything against most of the social networking sites out there (probably because I don’t visit many) but orkut is something which just rages me to the core. I find it ridiculous that it’s a big “phenomenon” in India (I would infact rate Chris Crocker’s videos more than this crap).

PS : Parental advisory , entry is a bit profane.

I really don’t understand the purpose of the “orkut scrapbook” (or perhaps, spambook), is it that the website fails to convey what the scrapbook really is or is it that those idiots who use it fail to understand that its not something which can be used chat with other users. Almost every orkut user thinks its the elite instant message protocol which can be used to send messages like “hi der???!!!!!”. My question to all these losers : What the fuck is wrong in using any of the IM services available, instead of spamming a user’s scrapbook with retarded junk ?

Another interesting, part in orkut is the “Testimonials”. Orkut users, especially Indians fail to understand that it’s not a place to spam others with graphical chain-messages. The best part, the users even accept testimonials submitted for them with these messages containing junk. Yeah, and a typical testimonial would start like “So let’s see….hmmm…..insert name here“, is it just me or is it that it’s the gayest way of starting how you feel about a person ?

It’s also very common to see that users have special names in their profiles using ASCII codes and fonts. Now my question to these high faggots is how in the world do they expect people visiting their profile to know who they are ? Randomly searching, I got this name “NOT#!NG $PEC!@L F0R ME EXCEPT……………”, Now seriously tell me what does this fruit expect from the people who visit his profile ? Being a non-orkut user, for me at least its quite difficult to understand who the person really is (or I don’t even know what that emo line means). I would try reading the testimonial at last to see who the person really is and you know its filled with chain-message junk.

<sarcasm>When it comes to security and ease of interface, orkut beats any website</sarcasm>. Orkut users randomly run these javascripts to send mass scrapbook entries to all the users (oh by the way, that’s more of spam). What these nincompoops aren’t aware of is, it takes a second for someone to add a XSS method to the scripts which would make the user vulnerable to hacking attemps. Orkut doesn’t care about this, they think putting a security tip at the homepage of every user would make them stop using these “mass-spam” scripts. Unlike Facebook, orkut doesn’t have an API. These javascripts can even change the user’s profile fields (no wonder, so many viruses are posting more spam in the spambooks).

To conclude, I would prefer facebook over orkut anytime. It’s more secure, neat interface and not gay like orkut (you can’t even use a fake name). Those orkut users who whine about abuse of their accounts (normally after getting hacked), probably deserve it because I would call it the “heights of insanity” to upload your picture at a site like orkut.

I’m done with the “anti-orkut post” . I’ve some scripts being coded and would release them soon. Yeah and welcome to Abishek @ blogosphere.

I cannot update the blog, been busy in real life.

Will try updating in the mean time.

PS: Check the movie ratings page, hell yeah I can watch movies but cannot update my blog! :p

Apart from compTIA, I got certified in AJAX and Computer Skills (bah) way back in the first week on may and I was way too lazy to update this. I will post the screenshots of the hard copy certificate pretty soon (yes soon).

I’ve some exciting websites coming up soon and I’ll update here asap they get up. Be sure to check the updated about-me page for some “shiny badges” (I’m still waiting for some more badges).
