Miscellaneous

1. Access your CMI account remotely

   This is an article about accessing your CMI account sitting at your home. This allows you to do a few things like opening CMI local links and creating your own homepage - and any other task for which you want local access to a physical computer at CMI.

2. Distributing grade details in the online semester

   This is an article for graders to share information with their students, keeping all the information available to them. I wrote this article in hope that graders learn and use new techniques, in order to adapt to the online semester. Technology should not be interfere with one's right to information. Hope that this article gives some momentum.

3. Distributing grade details in the online semester from your university mail (secure)

   This article does the same job as the previous article. The only difference is that the email id, from which mails are sent, is the user's university account. This makes use of the mail command in Unix. This much more secure, because one will be using the institute's local machine to send all mails.
