DC - Direct Connect.. used worldwide to share data.. especially colleges where all the hostels are divided into separate networks.. so when LAN came to our college in January 2007 hunt for hub software CD software etc started... my frnd applegrew was as usual the first one to crack the problem... he got the software and i hosted it... till my LAN went down for 1 semester main hub was some1 else but the next semester maximum users were the on my hub called "BIT Connect" ...
During July - December this hub made me from one of the most non existing entity to a person who was known all over campus (for whatever reason)... I was a guy who never me girls but as i was good with computers and as usual girls dont know anything about them i started meeting them.... During the time of Diwali I had a schedule like 4 different days I met 4 different girls... the last one i met a Diwali but i was so tiered that she said "You are very Shy in person" well back to the obsession.... Our happy days of enjoying came to an abrupt end when a guy from the college morphed pics of a couple of girls and shared them on DC in the preparation leave of December exams.. there was a complaint and the LAN was closed as there was no way to back trace who started it all...
In January my frnd applegrew and hex started working on a problem of installing a radius and dhcp server so that people could not change there ip addresses as they pleased which was possible at that time...
During the time of Holi our college LAN was hit by a virus which was ARP flooding the network, it was g/u.asdfgfg.com or something a chinese site adding a java script in the page to access this site. well as hex and applegrew both had gone to their homes for the holidays the task of reporting in the problem came down on me... I went and had a talk with the net admin of our college... while talking i got an idea that the problem our college had was with data being shared at the hubs not with people changing their IPs so a simpler plan was to monitor the contents on the hubs rather than having installing a dhcp and radius server which was more tedious... (anyway the final solution is this) I gave this idea to my frnd applegrew he searched and as usual he cracked he found a software called "JDCBOT" and made a Sherriffbot on its frame work (http://jdcbot.sourceforge.net/sub-projects.html#SheriffBot ) well it all tested out was a big success the college allowed the LAN to resume but only one Hub called " DC Hub " in the institute but I thank our college for leaving full control of the Hub in the hands of us students ...
Applegrew has became so much into DC and JDCbot that he has changed the framework of jdcbot to a much better version and we together are planning to create a alll new DC client name "DC#" (DC sharp) which is newer version of DC giving it a new life and much better user control. ( This all i can disclose till we are done with it)
And as for me DC has everything its a complete package.... i came to know girls of my college and had major crushes on them... and now to try my programming skills at it.. Scoring not so good marks DC has also added weight to my resume...
DC has really changed my life and ways more than one...
