Mobile Partner Redialer

It seems like every mobile broadband (HSPA) connection in Sri Lanka has a very poor Quality of Service.
Initially I used a Dialog HSPA connection.
Due to their poor service recently I switched to Mobitel which was considered as a far better connection compared to Dialog.
But now things have gone wrong again. Mobitel has become a very unreliable connection. Mobitel users cannot say in idle.
It seems like they are disconnecting the idle users in order to accept new users.
If we want to get connected again, we have to keep pressing redial button for 10-15 times. This has become a pain.

I really hate this redialing thing. So I decided to write a small script to automate this.
I’m using a Huawei E220 HSPA modem with the Mobile Partner Software.

I share this small script with you hoping someone will find it useful.

This small program will run in background and keep redial for you (initially you have to press the connect button manually).

You can just wait and watch until it get connected.

This will consume some considerable amount of CPU (due to an endless loop), so make sure that you pause the script when you are not using it.

Virtual Floppy Drive

This is a simple tool which creates a virtual floppy drive in windows. You may ask what the use of a virtual floppy drive is while floppy drives are getting out of the business these days. Actually this may not be useful to everyone. But for me this is a great tool. People who are interested in dealing with bootable CDs/DVDs are facing a problem in editing floppy images since the absence of floppy drives in modern machines (specially in laptops). So this is the solution. This small application contains almost everything we needed. It supports many image types including img and ima. And it is a freeware.

Hope someone will find this useful :-)
