My initial attempts at creating websites…

Hmm…. I never thought I will find it again… While going through some of old CDs, I found earlier sites created during my four year degree course in Computer Engg at PICT.

  1. 1999-2000 – This was the first attempt while I was in my Third year..was quite obsessed with DHTML… :)
  2. 2000-2001 – This was in the Final year…Flash had taken over by then……

There is still final version of site still trying to find…. something for this weekend…

Online SBI and Usability

I had recently applied for Online SBI, and surprisingly I was handed the pre-printed internet banking user id and password instantly.

Quite happy, I tried to login after few days on http://www.onlinesbi.com, guess what…. it didn’t allowed me login showing “Invalid username or password.”

There is a link on login page “Trouble Logging In” which is nothing but a form mailer. The reason for this blog post is this “Trouble Logging In”

It asks for all the details in 6-7 fields like account number,email etc… after submitting the request, it threw me below error…

Where is all the data that I have entered….????

SBI-Error

I do not understand, when will the people like those at Online SBI understand the user experience…

The plus of this system is that it has a Aux-in so I can use it with my laptop or TV… perfect.
