Please read carefully its very very very interesting. If you hindu, After reading this, you will say &quot;I AM PROUD TO BE HINDU&quot; </p><br /> <p>Four years ago, I was flying from JFK NY Airport to SFO to attend a meeting at Monterey , CA An American girl was sitting on the right side, near window seat. It indeed was a long journey - it would take nearly seven hours.</p><p>I was surprised to see the young girl reading a Bible unusual of young Americans. After some time she smiled and we had few acquaintances talk. I told her that I am from India </p><p><br />Then suddenly the girl asked: 'What's your faith?' 'What?' I didn't understand the question.</p><p><br />'I mean, what's your religion? Are you a Christian? Or a Muslim?'</p><p><br />'No!' I replied, 'I am neither Christian nor Muslim'.</p><p><br />Apparently she appeared shocked to listen to that. 'Then who are you?' 'I am a Hindu', I said.</p><p><br />She looked at me as if she was seeing a caged animal. She could not understand what I was talking about.</p><p><br />A common man in Europe or US knows about Christianity and Islam, as they are the leading religions of the world today. But a Hindu, what?</p><p><br />I explained to her - I am born to a Hindu father and Hindu mother. Therefore, I am a Hindu by birth.</p><p><br />'Who is your prophet?' she asked.</p><p><br />'We don't have a prophet,' I replied.</p><p><br />'What's your Holy Book?'</p><p><br />'We don't have a single Holy Book, but we have hundreds and thousands of philosophical and sacred scriptures,' I replied.</p><p><br />'Oh, come on at least tell me who is your God?'</p><p><br />'What do you mean by that?'</p><p><br />'Like we have Jesus and Muslims have Allah - don't you have a God?'</p><p><br />I thought for a moment. Muslims and Christians believe one God (Male God) who created the world and takes an interest in the humans who inhabit it. Her mind is conditioned with that kind of belief.</p><p><br />According to her (or anybody who doesn't know about Hinduism), a religion needs to have one Prophet, one Holy book and one God. The mind is so conditioned and rigidly narrowed down to such a notion that anything else is not acceptable. I understood her perception and concept about faith. You can't compare Hinduism with any of the present leading religions where you have to believe in one concept of god.</p><p><br />I tried to explain to her: 'You can believe in one god and he can be a Hindu. You may believe in multiple deities and still you can be a Hindu. What's more - you may not believe in god at all, still you can be a Hindu. An atheist can also be a Hindu.'</p><p><br />This sounded very crazy to her. She couldn't imagine a religion so unorganized, still surviving for thousands of years, even after onslaught from foreign forces.</p><p><br />'I don't understand but it seems very interesting. Are you religious?'<br />What can I tell to this American girl?</p><p><br />I said: 'I do not go to temple regularly. I do not make any regular rituals. I have learned some of the rituals in my younger days. I still enjoy doing it sometimes.'<br />&nbsp;<br />'Enjoy? Are you not afraid of God?'</p><p><br />'God is a friend. No- I am not afraid of God. Nobody has made any compulsions on me to perform these rituals regularly.'</p><p><br />She thought for a while and then asked: 'Have you ever thought of converting to any other religion?'</p><p><br />'Why should I? Even if I challenge some of the rituals and faith in Hinduism, nobody can convert me from Hinduism. Because, <strong>being a Hindu allows me to think independently and objectively, without conditioning. I remain as a Hindu never by force, but choice.' I told her that Hinduism is not a religion, but a set of beliefs and practices. It is not a religion like Christianity or Islam because it is not founded by any one person or does not have an organized controlling body like the Church or the Order, I added. There is no institution or authority.</strong></p><p><br />'So, you don't believe in God?' she wanted everything in black and white.</p><p><br />'I didn't say that. I do not discard the divine reality. Our scripture, or Sruthis or Smrithis - Vedas and Upanishads or the Gita - say God might be there or he might not be there. But we pray to that supreme abstract authority (Para Brahma) that is the creator of this universe.'</p><p><br />'Why can't you believe in one personal God?'</p><p><br />'We have a concept - abstract - not a personal god. The concept or notion of a personal God, hiding behind the clouds of secrecy, telling us irrational stories through few men whom he sends as messengers, demanding us to worship him or punish us, does not make sense. I don't think that God is as silly as an autocratic emperor who wants others to respect him or fear him.' I told her that such notions are just fancies of less educated human imagination and fallacies, adding that generally ethnic religious practitioners in Hinduism believe in personal gods. The entry level Hinduism has over-whelming superstitions too. The philosophical side of Hinduism negates all superstitions.<br />&nbsp;<br />'Good that you agree God might exist. You told that you pray. What is your prayer then?'</p><p><br />'Loka Samastha Sukino Bhavantu. Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti,'</p><p><br />'Funny,' she laughed, 'What does it mean?'</p><p><br />'May all the beings in all the worlds be happy. Om Peace, Peace, Peace.'</p><p><br />'Hmm ..very interesting. I want to learn more about this religion. It is so democratic, broad-minded and free' she exclaimed.</p><p><br />'The fact is Hinduism is a religion of the individual, for the individual and by the individual with its roots in the Vedas and the Bhagavad-Gita. It is all about an individual approaching a personal God in an individual way according to his temperament and inner evolution - it is as simple as that.'</p><p><br />'How does anybody convert to Hinduism?'</p><p><br />'Nobody can convert you to Hinduism, because it is not a religion, but a set of beliefs and practices. Everything is acceptable in Hinduism because there is no single authority or organization either to accept it or to reject it or to oppose it on behalf of Hinduism.'</p><p><br />I told her - if you look for meaning in life, don't look for it in religions; don't go from one cult to another or from one guru to the next.</p><p><br />For a real seeker, I told her, the Bible itself gives guidelines when it says ' Kingdom of God is within you.' I reminded her of Christ's teaching about the love that we have for each other. That is where you can find the meaning of life.</p><p>Loving each and every creation of the God is absolute and real. 'Isavasyam idam sarvam'&hellip; Isam (the God) is present (inhabits) here everywhere - nothing exists separate from the God, because God is present everywhere. Respect every living being and non-living things as God. That's what Hinduism teaches you.</p><p><br />Hinduism is referred to as Sanathana Dharma, the eternal faith. It is based on the practice of Dharma, the code of life. The most important aspect of Hinduism is being truthful to oneself. Hinduism has no monopoly on ideas.- It is open to all. Hindus believe in one God (not a personal one) expressed in different forms. For them, God is timeless and formless entity.</p><p><br />Ancestors of today's Hindus believe in eternal truths and cosmic laws and these truths are opened to anyone who seeks them. But there is a section of Hindus who are either superstitious or turned fanatic to make this an organized religion like others. The British coin the word 'Hindu' and considered it as a religion.</p><p><br />I said: 'Religions have become an MLM (multi-level- marketing) industry that has been trying to expand the market share by conversion. The biggest business in today's world is Spirituality. Hinduism is no exception'</p><p><br /><strong>I am a Hindu primarily because it professes Non-violence-'Ahimsa Paramo Dharma' - Non violence is the highest duty. I am a Hindu because it doesn't conditions my mind with any faith system.</strong></p><p><br />Send it to all those, who you think will find it interesting!</p><p>Note : I am not hating or abuse any religions, every religions are good at their side, but by making this post I just want to drow attention of the people who just don't know what is hinduism.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/775241673407191455-6742559535961294080?l=vijay-padhariya.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Vijay Padhariyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08427940598983405735noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775241673407191455.post-22264510675126269092008-12-31T22:57:00.001+05:302008-12-31T23:05:53.494+05:30Hello friends and my precious readers, after so many times, i didn't post anything, yes thats ture, but i didn't found anything bcoz I dont found it :) any ways, here i have some beautiful tips which should be implemened on upcoming new year :)<br />Lets implement it...... Many of us want to be more creative. If you&rsquo;re a blogger, you are searching for a killer idea for your next post. If you work in marketing or advertising, you&rsquo;ll be trying to come up with that brilliant concept that will bring in a swarm of customers. If you have a creative hobby, like painting or writing, you want the next piece to be a masterpiece. <br />Sometimes, we might feel as though we&rsquo;re &ldquo;just not very creative&rdquo;. Other people seem to have better ideas and bigger projects. The truth is that there are plenty of ways to help yourself become more creative.<br /><ol><li><strong>Read Widely and Deeply</strong><br />Whatever field you&rsquo;re in, reading can only help. Go to the library and check out some good books &ndash; and don&rsquo;t make all of them ones in your area of expertise. Why not get a novel you&rsquo;d never normally read, or a book about a topic you have no knowledge on? This can jump-start your brain into working more creatively as you try to assimilate the new information based on what you already know from your own field.<br /></li><br /><li><strong>Try New Activities</strong><br />Another way to get your brain in gear is to try something totally new. Whether it&rsquo;s salsa dancing, pottery or a medieval reenactment, taking up a new hobby can help shake things up and encourage you to think laterally. For example, you might be inspired to write an article using your new interest as a metaphor for something in your main field of work.<br /></li><br /><li><strong>Talk To Strangers</strong><br />Children are warned about &ldquo;stranger danger&rdquo;, but as adults, we shouldn&rsquo;t be too afraid of talking to new people. We naturally associate with people who are like ourselves &ndash; the same income bracket, the same dress sense, the same career or industry &ndash; and this can stifle our creativity by making us feel that &ldquo;everyone&rsquo;s just the same&rdquo;. Branch out. Chat to someone you don&rsquo;t know in the cafeteria. Say &ldquo;hi&rdquo; to the person next to you in line at the coffee shop.<br /></li><br /><li><strong>Reject Your First Ten Ideas</strong><br />One great way to generate ideas, if you&rsquo;re stuck for inspiration, is to sit down with a blank piece of paper (or a blank document on your computer) and list at least twenty ideas. Reject the first ten: they&rsquo;ll almost always be too &ldquo;normal&rdquo; and bland. You have to get through these easy ideas in order to be really creative. If you&rsquo;re writing a short story for a competition on &ldquo;murder&rdquo; for instance, the first ten ideas you have will be the ones that judges see time and time again.<br /></li><br /><li><strong>Experiment: Don&rsquo;t Be Afraid to Fail</strong><br />We&rsquo;re often wary of trying new ways of working or new activities because we&rsquo;re afraid we&rsquo;ll fail. But there&rsquo;s no shame in failure &ndash; after all, as a baby, you failed countless times at walking, talking and potty training&hellip; but you&rsquo;re an expert in all of those areas now! The path to success often requires trying out a lot of ways which don&rsquo;t work.<br /><blockquote>&ldquo;If I find 10,000 ways something won't work, I haven't failed. I am not<br />discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward.&rdquo; &ndash;Thomas Edison<br /></blockquote></li><li><strong>Make Connections: Link Two Projects</strong><br />Do you have a stack of half-finished sketches or half-written short stories languishing in a drawer? One very effective way to reignite your enthusiasm is to combine two different projects. Take a character from one of your short stories and insert him into the plot of a different one. Mix that fantasy dreamscape sketch with the steampunk idea. Take an idea from that zany game you were designing and put it with the brainteaser series that you had planned.<br /></li><br /><li><strong>Take An Unusual Perspective</strong><br />If you&rsquo;re working on a long-term creative piece, like a blog or a novel, it&rsquo;s easy to get stale. Try adopting an unusual perspective. You might write a scene in your novel from the point of view of an inanimate object, or through the eyes of a character whose state of mind has been altered by alcohol or drugs. You could try writing a post on your blog from someone else&rsquo;s perspective.<br /><blockquote>&ldquo;You see my Dad reads more than he writes. I think he does this because his writing gets better after reading what others say and because it means he&rsquo;s<br />learning more about his topics.&rdquo;<br /></blockquote></li><li><strong>Do Your Chores</strong><br />This might sound like odd advice &ndash; after all, chores aren&rsquo;t exactly creative. But physical activities like vacuuming, washing the dishes or scrubbing the floors leave your mind free to wander &ndash; and it&rsquo;s surprising how many ideas can occur to you when you&rsquo;re not sitting staring at your desk.<br /></li><br /><li><strong>Use A Different Medium</strong><br />If you&rsquo;re a writer, try drawing for a change. It doesn&rsquo;t matter if you can&rsquo;t draw &ndash; use stick figures &ndash; but this can help jolt you out of your comfort zone, allowing you to approach a problem in a new way. If you&rsquo;re a painter, try making up a tune and words for a song. If you&rsquo;re a graphic designer, use modeling clay or create a collage. Don&rsquo;t limit your creativity to just one medium.<br /></li><br /><li><strong>Daydream: Keep Asking &ldquo;What If&hellip;?&rdquo;</strong><br />The final, and most important tip for enhancing your creativity, is to daydream. Stare into space. Let your thoughts drift. Think about your project when you&rsquo;re going to sleep at night &ndash; unusual thoughts often crop up in that half-awake, half-asleep state. Don&rsquo;t try to force or rush creativity; give yourself time to let your ideas simmer away in the back of your mind.</li></ol>Courtesy of <A href='http://www.dumblittleman.com/2008/11/10-great-ways-to-jumpstart-your.html'>Dumb little man</A><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/775241673407191455-2226451067512626909?l=vijay-padhariya.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Vijay Padhariyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08427940598983405735noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775241673407191455.post-72930853047050472272008-10-22T23:23:00.000+05:302008-10-22T23:50:29.712+05:30<table style="text-align:justify" border="1" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr align="center"><th>Character</th><th>Meaning</th></tr><tr><td>\</td><td>Either of the following:<ul><li>For characters that are usually treated literally, indicates that the next character is special and not to be interpreted literally. For example, /b/ matches the character 'b'. By placing a backslash in front of b, that is by using /\b/, the character becomes special to mean match a word boundary.</li><li>For characters that are usually treated specially, indicates that the next character is not special and should be interpreted literally. For example, * is a special character that means 0 or more occurrences of the preceding item should be matched; for example, /a*/ means match 0 or more a's. To match * literally, precede it with a backslash; for example, /a\*/ matches 'a*'.</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td>^</td><td>Matches beginning of input. If the multiline flag is set to true, also matches immediately after a line break character. For example, /^A/ does not match the 'A' in "an A", but does match the first 'A' in "An A".</td></tr><tr><td>$</td><td>Matches end of input. If the multiline flag is set to true, also matches immediately before a line break character. For example, /t$/ does not match the 't' in "eater", but does match it in "eat".</td></tr><tr><td>*</td><td>Matches the preceding character 0 or more times. For example, /bo*/ matches 'boooo' in "A ghost booooed" and 'b' in "A bird warbled", but nothing in "A goat grunted".</td></tr><tr><td>+</td><td>Matches the preceding character 1 or more times. Equivalent to {1,}. For example, /a+/ matches the 'a' in "candy" and all the a's in "caaaaaaandy".</td></tr><tr><td>?</td><td>Matches the preceding character 0 or 1 time.<p>For example, /e?le?/ matches the 'el' in "angel" and the 'le' in "angle."</p><p>If used immediately after any of the quantifiers *, +,&nbsp;?, or {}, makes the quantifier non-greedy (matching the minimum number of times), as opposed to the default, which is greedy (matching the maximum number of times). For example, using /\d+/ non-global match "123abc" return "123", if using /\d+?/, only "1" will be matched.</p>Also used in lookahead assertions, described under x(?=y) and x(?!y) in this table.</td></tr><tr><td>.</td><td>(The decimal point) matches any single character except the newline character. For example, /.n/ matches 'an' and 'on' in "nay, an apple is on the tree", but not 'nay'.</td></tr><tr><td>(x)</td><td>Matches 'x' and remembers the match. These are called capturing parentheses. For example, /(foo)/ matches and remembers 'foo' in "foo bar." The matched substring can be recalled from the resulting array's elements [1], ..., [n].</td></tr><tr><td>(?:x)</td><td>Matches 'x' but does not remember the match. These are called non-capturing parentheses. The matched substring can not be recalled from the resulting array's elements [1], ..., [n].</td></tr><tr><td>x(?=y)</td><td>Matches 'x' only if 'x' is followed by 'y'. For example, /Jack(?=Sprat)/ matches 'Jack' only if it is followed by 'Sprat'. /Jack(?=Sprat|Frost)/ matches 'Jack' only if it is followed by 'Sprat' or 'Frost'. However, neither 'Sprat' nor 'Frost' is part of the match results.</td></tr><tr><td>x(?!y)</td><td>Matches 'x' only if 'x' is not followed by 'y'. For example, /\d+(?!\.)/ matches a number only if it is not followed by a decimal point. The regular expression /\d+(?!\.)/.exec("3.141") matches '141' but not '3.141'.</td></tr><tr><td>x|y</td><td>Matches either 'x' or 'y'. For example, /green|red/ matches 'green' in "green apple" and 'red' in "red apple."</td></tr><tr><td>{n}</td><td>Where n is a positive integer. Matches exactly n occurrences of the preceding character. For example, /a{2}/ doesn't match the 'a' in "candy," but it matches all of the a's in "caandy," and the first two a's in "caaandy."</td></tr><tr><td>{n,}</td><td>Where n is a positive integer. Matches at least n occurrences of the preceding character. For example, /a{2,}/ doesn't match the 'a' in "candy", but matches all of the a's in "caandy" and in "caaaaaaandy."</td></tr><tr><td>{n,m}</td><td>Where n and m are positive integers. Matches at least n and at most m occurrences of the preceding character. For example, /a{1,3}/ matches nothing in "cndy", the 'a' in "candy," the first two a's in "caandy," and the first three a's in "caaaaaaandy" Notice that when matching "caaaaaaandy", the match is "aaa", even though the original string had more a's in it.</td></tr><tr><td>[xyz]</td><td>A character set. Matches any one of the enclosed characters. You can specify a range of characters by using a hyphen. For example, [abcd] is the same as [a-d]. They match the 'b' in "brisket" and the 'c' in "city".</td></tr><tr><td>[^xyz]</td><td>A negated or complemented character set. That is, it matches anything that is not enclosed in the brackets. You can specify a range of characters by using a hyphen. For example, [^abc] is the same as [^a-c]. They initially match 'r' in "brisket" and 'h' in "chop."</td></tr><tr><td>[\b]</td><td>Matches a backspace. (Not to be confused with \b.)</td></tr><tr><td>\b</td><td>Matches a word boundary, such as a space or a newline character. (Not to be confused with [\b].) For example, /\bn\w/ matches the 'no' in "noonday";/\wy\b/ matches the 'ly' in "possibly yesterday."</td></tr><tr><td>\B</td><td>Matches a non-word boundary. For example, /\w\Bn/ matches 'on' in "noonday", and /y\B\w/ matches 'ye' in "possibly yesterday."</td></tr><tr><td>\cX</td><td>Where X is a control character. Matches a control character in a string. For example, /\cM/ matches control-M in a string.</td></tr><tr><td>\d</td><td>Matches a digit character. Equivalent to [0-9]. For example, /\d/ or /[0-9]/ matches '2' in "B2 is the suite number."</td></tr><tr><td>\D</td><td>Matches any non-digit character. Equivalent to [^0-9]. For example, /\D/ or /[^0-9]/ matches 'B' in "B2 is the suite number."</td></tr><tr><td>\f</td><td>Matches a form-feed.</td></tr><tr><td>\n</td><td>Matches a linefeed.</td></tr><tr><td>\r</td><td>Matches a carriage return.</td></tr><tr><td>\s</td><td>Matches a single white space character, including space, tab, form feed, line feed. Equivalent to<p>[ \f\n\r\t\v\u00A0\u2028\u2029].</p>For example, /\s\w*/ matches '&nbsp;bar' in "foo bar."</td></tr><tr><td>\S</td><td>Matches a single character other than white space. Equivalent to<p>[^ \f\n\r\t\v\u00A0\u2028\u2029].</p>For example, /\S\w*/ matches 'foo' in "foo bar."</td></tr><tr><td>\t</td><td>Matches a tab.</td></tr><tr><td>\v</td><td>Matches a vertical tab.</td></tr><tr><td>\w</td><td>Matches any alphanumeric character including the underscore. Equivalent to [A-Za-z0-9_]. For example, /\w/ matches 'a' in "apple," '5' in "$5.28," and '3' in "3D."</td></tr><tr><td>\W</td><td>Matches any non-word character. Equivalent to [^A-Za-z0-9_]. For example, /\W/ or /[^A-Za-z0-9_]/ matches '%' in "50%."</td></tr><tr><td>\n</td><td>Where n is a positive integer. A back reference to the last substring matching the n parenthetical in the regular expression (counting left parentheses). For example, /apple(,)\sorange\1/ matches 'apple, orange,' in "apple, orange, cherry, peach."</td></tr><tr><td>\0</td><td>Matches a NUL character. Do not follow this with another digit.</td></tr><tr><td>\xhh</td><td>Matches the character with the code hh (two hexadecimal digits)</td></tr><tr><td>\uhhhh</td><td>Matches the character with the code hhhh (four hexadecimal digits).</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/775241673407191455-7293085304705047227?l=vijay-padhariya.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Vijay Padhariyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08427940598983405735noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775241673407191455.post-78756971522042589942008-09-10T19:03:00.004+05:302009-01-28T22:14:06.584+05:30<div style="text-align: justify;"><p>Hello Precious Readers, </p><p>I know that i havn't post any thing sience 25th of June</p><p>and also know that you are awaiting for some post here :)</p><p>BTW i have one php function for Paging, its very easy and very dynamic</p><p><pre style="color:#990000">&lt;?php<br># Pass the simple select query and the maximum results you want<br># $qryString = &quot;select * from &lt;table-name&gt;&quot;;<br># $maxRes = 10;<br>function paging($qryString, $maxRes){<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$TOTAL = ceil((mysql_num_rows(mysql_query($qryString)))/$maxRes);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$paging = &quot;&quot;;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$args = explode(&quot;&amp;&quot;,($_SERVER['argv'][0]));<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$fireArgv = &quot;?&quot;;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;foreach($args as $key =&gt; $val){<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if(!stristr($val,&quot;page=&quot;)){<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$fireArgv .= $val;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if($_GET['page'] &gt; 5){<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$start = ($_GET['page'] - 5);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if($start &gt; ($TOTAL - $maxRes)){<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$start = (($TOTAL - $maxRes) + 1);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;else{$start = 1;}<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$cnt=0;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;for($i=$start; $i &lt;= $TOTAL &amp;&amp; $cnt &lt;= $maxRes; $i++){<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$cnt++;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if($cnt &gt; $maxRes) break;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if($_GET['page'] == $i || (empty($_GET['page']) &amp;&amp; $i == 1)){<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$paging .= $i.&quot; &quot;;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;else{<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$paging .= &quot;&lt;a href='&quot;.$fireArgv.&quot;&amp;page=&quot;.$i.&quot;'&gt;&quot;.$i.&quot;&lt;/a&gt;&quot;.&quot; &quot;;/**/<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;return $paging;<br>}<br>?&gt;</pre></p><p>You just have to pass simple mySql query like &quot;select * from my table&quot; as a first argument.</p><p>and as a second argument, just pass total number you want to display as paging eg &quot;10&quot;</p><p>so the function would be paging(&quot;select * from myTable&quot;, 10);</p><p><strong>Make sure that you provide only select query only, not with where, limit, order by, etc etc clause.....</strong></p><p>it will work like google paging :), to see its result, start implementing it friends.........</p><p>And yes, please don't forget to give comments :)</p></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/775241673407191455-7875697152204258994?l=vijay-padhariya.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Vijay Padhariyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08427940598983405735noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775241673407191455.post-20498952249080470542008-06-25T11:33:00.002+05:302008-06-25T11:34:55.075+05:30<div style="text-align:justify"><p><strong>Have you already pressed Shift+Space on your keyboard?

Trygve maintains a page that <a target="_blank" href="http://heim.ifi.uio.no/%7Etrygver/themes/mvc/mvc-index.html">explains the history of MVC</a>in his own words. He arrives at these definitions in a paper he published on December 10th, 1979:</p><ol><li><strong>Models</strong><p>Models represent knowledge. A model could be a single object (rather uninteresting), or it could be some structure of objects.</p><p>There should be a one-to-one correspondence between the model and its parts on the one hand, and the represented world as perceived by the owner of the model on the other hand.</p></li><li><strong>Views</strong><p>A view is a (visual) representation of its model. It would ordinarily highlight certain attributes of the model and suppress others. It is thus acting as a <em>presentation filter</em>.</p><p>A view is attached to its model (or model part) and gets the data necessary for the presentation from the model by asking questions. It may also update the model by sending appropriate messages. All these questions and messages have to be in the terminology of the model, the view will therefore have to know the semantics of the attributes of the model it represents.</p></li><li><strong>Controllers</strong><p>A controller is the link between a user and the system. It provides the user with input by arranging for relevant views to present themselves in appropriate places on the screen. It provides means for user output by presenting the user with menus or other means of giving commands and data. The controller receives such user output, translates it into the appropriate messages and pass these messages on to one or more of the views.</p></li></ol><p>It may seem like we're <a target="_blank" href="http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000165.html">deep in Architecture Astronaut territory</a>now, but bear with me. The MVC concepts are a little abstract, it's true, but it's an incredibly common pattern. It is literally all around you. In fact, let me bring it back down to Earth this way: you're looking at MVC <em>right now</em>.</p><p><strong>Model</strong>= HTML</p><p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000474.html"><img alt="MVC: HTML = Model" src="http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/images/mvc-html.png" border="0" height="276" width="226"></a></p><p><strong>View</strong>= CSS</p><p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000474.html"><img alt="MVC: CSS = View" src="http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/images/mvc-css.png" border="0" height="276" width="226"></a></p><p><strong>Controller</strong>= Browser</p><p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000474.html"><img alt="MVC: Browser = Controller" src="http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/images/mvc-browser.png" border="0" height="276" width="226"></a></p><p>This ubiquitous trifecta represents MVC almost perfectly.</p><ol><li>Model<p>The HTML is the "skeleton" of bedrock content. Text that communicates information to the reader.</p></li><li>View<p>The CSS adds visual style to the content. It is the "skin" that we use to flesh out our skeleton and give it a particular look. We can swap in different skins via CSS without altering the original content in any way. They are relatively, but not completely, independent.</p></li><li>Controller<p>The browser is responsible for combining and rendering the CSS and HTML into a set of final, manipulatible pixels on the screen. It gathers input from the user and marshals it to any JavaScript code necessary for the page to function. But here, too, we have flexibility: we can plug in a different brower and get comparable results. Some browsers might render it faster, or with more fidelity, or with more bells and whistles.</p></li></ol><p>So if you believe the web has been at all successful -- most signs I've seen point to <em>yes</em>-- then you also have to acknowledge <strong>the incredible power of Model-View-Controller.</strong></p><p>It's no coincidence that many of the most popular web programming frameworks also <a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model-view-controller#Implementations_of_MVC_as_web-based_frameworks">encapsulate MVC principles</a>: Django, Ruby on Rails, CakePHP, Struts, and so forth. It's also officially creeping into ASP.NET under the fledgling <a target="_blank" href="http://www.asp.net/mvc/">ASP.NET MVC project</a>.</p><p>Just take a gander at the project layout in a <strong>sample ASP.NET MVC project</strong>:</p><p><img alt="ASP.NET MVC project organization" src="http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/images/mvc-aspnet.png" border="0" height="433" width="226"></p><p>It's <em>almost</em>self-explanatory, if you've ever built an application of any kind:</p><ol><li>Model<p>The classes which are used to store and manipulate state, typically in a database of some kind.</p></li><li>View<p>The user interface bits (in this case, HTML) necessary to render the model to the user.</p></li><li>Controller<p>The brains of the application. The controller decides what the user's input was, how the model needs to change as a result of that input, and which resulting view should be used.</p></li></ol><p>It's beautiful in its simplicity, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.artima.com/lejava/articles/stringtemplate.html">as Terence Parr notes</a>:</p><blockquote>For the "MVC" of a web app, I make a direct analogy with the Smalltalk notion of MVC. The model is any of the logic or the database or any of the data itself. The view is simply how you lay the data out, how it is displayed. If you want a subset of some data, for example, my opinion is that is a responsibility of the model. The model knows how to make a subset. You should not be asking your graphics designer to filter a list according to age or some other criteria.<p>The controller in a web app is a bit more complicated, because it has two parts. The first part is the web server (such as a servlet container) that maps incoming HTTP URL requests to a particular handler for that request. The second part is those handlers themselves, which are in fact often called "controllers." So the C in a web app MVC includes both the web server "overlord" that routes requests to handlers and the logic of those handlers themselves, which pull the data from the database and push it into the template. This controller also receives HTTP POST requests and processes these, sometimes updating the database.</p><p>I look at a website as nothing but a graph with edges with POSTs and GETs that routes pages.</p></blockquote><p>Here's one quick way to test if your application has properly segregated itself between the Model, View, and Controller roles: <strong>is your app skinnable?</strong></p><blockquote>My experience is that designers don't understand loops or any kind of state. They do understand templates with holes in them. Everybody understands mail merge. And if you say, "Apply the bold template to this hole," they kind of get that, too. So separating model and view addresses this very important practical problem of how to have designers work with coders.<p>The other problem is there is no way to do multiple site skins properly if you don't have proper separation of concerns. If you are doing code generation or sites with different skins on them, there is no way to properly make a new skin by simply copying and pasting the old skin and changing it. If you have the view and the logic together, when you make a copy of the view you copy the logic as well. That breaks one of our primary rules as developers: have only one place to change anything.</p></blockquote><p><strong>Skinnability cuts to the very heart of the MVC pattern.</strong>If your app <em>isn't</em>"skinnable", that means you've probably gotten your model's chocolate in your view's peanut butter, quite by accident. You should refactor your code so that only the controller is responsible for poking the model data through the relatively static templates represented by the view.</p><p>The power and simplicity of properly implemented MVC is undeniable. But the first step to harnessing MVC is to understand <em>why</em>it works, both on the web, and also within your own applications.</p></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/775241673407191455-1494634908372160444?l=vijay-padhariya.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Vijay Padhariyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08427940598983405735noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775241673407191455.post-47378328109366988352008-05-31T11:21:00.001+05:302008-05-31T11:30:17.162+05:30<div style="text-align:justify"><p>There are many available tools to help make web development projects quicker and more productive.

Some might remember my one project, <a target="_blank" href="http://ejohn.org/blog/bringing-the-browser-to-the-server/">env.js</a>, which ported the native browser JavaScript features to the server-side (powered by <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/">Rhino</a>). One thing that was lacking from that project was an HTML parser (it parsed strict XML only).</p><p>I've been toying with the ability to port env.js to other platforms (Spidermonkey derivatives and the ECMAScript 4 Reference Implementation) and if I were to do so I would need an HTML parser. Because of this fact it became easiest to just write an HTML parser in pure JavaScript.</p><p>I did some digging to see what people had previously built, but the landscape was pretty bleak. The only one that I could find was one made by <a target="_blank" href="http://erik.eae.net/">Erik Arvidsson</a> - a simple <a target="_blank" href="http://erik.eae.net/simplehtmlparser/simplehtmlparser.js">SAX-style HTML parser</a>. Considering that this contained only the most basic parsing - and none of the actual, complicated, HTML logic there was still a lot of work left to be done.</p><p>(I also contemplated porting the <a target="_blank" href="http://code.google.com/p/html5lib/">HTML 5 parser</a>, wholesale, but that seemed like a herculean effort.)</p><p>However, the result is one that I'm quite pleased with. It won't match the compliance of html5lib, nor the speed of a pure XML parser, but it's able to get the job done with little fuss - while still being highly portable.</p><p><strong>htmlparser.js:</strong></p><ul><li><a target="_blank" href="http://ejohn.org/files/htmlparser.js">View htmlparser.js</a></li><li><a target="_blank" href="http://ejohn.org/apps/htmlparser/">Demo</a></li></ul><p><strong>4 Libraries in One!</strong></p><p>There were four pieces of functionality that I wanted to implement with this library:</p><p><strong>A <a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_API_for_XML">SAX-style</a> API</strong></p><p>Handles tag, text, and comments with callbacks. For example, let's say you wanted to implement a simple HTML to XML serialization scheme - you could do so using the following:</p><div style="width:570px; overflow:auto; background:#f0f0f0"><div id="js-1"><div>var results = "";<p>HTMLParser("&lt;p id=test&gt;hello &lt;i&gt;world", {<br>&nbsp; start: function( tag, attrs, unary ) {<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; results += "&lt;" + tag;</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; for ( var i = 0; i &lt; attrs.length; i++ )<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; results += " " + attrs[i].name + '="' + attrs[i].escaped + '"';</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; results += (unary ?

They are a list of links + icons that detail the contents of the directory. You can go wild with a custom handler to format directory listing requests however you want. But for most cases they work just fine out of the box. They are kind of tedious to browse through though: <em>scroll, scroll, click</em>, or - worse - <em>tab, tab, tab (tab, tab,) enter</em>. A little Dojo magic might go a long way here. </p><p>This tutorial shows you how to upgrade those plain vanilla pages to make getting around a little faster and along the way introduce you to some of the most useful bits of Dojo, and practical techniques for working with them. We&rsquo;ll touch on: dojo.query, dojo.data, the dojo parser and dijit (specifically the FilteringSelect widget.) </p><p><span id="more-291"> </span></p><p>Our final goal looks like this: <a target="_blank" href="http://sitepen.com/labs/code/dirindex/data/"><strong>Index of labs/code/dirindex/data</strong></a></p><p>We&rsquo;re adding a keyboard-aware suggest-box control to directory index page. The keyboard interaction is hugely improved: <em>tab, u, enter</em> takes you straight to the &ldquo;United States of America&rdquo; page. </p><h2>Getting Started</h2><p>If you want to follow along, you&rsquo;ll need access to an Apache web server that allows you to configure indexes - via the main configuration file or a .htaccess file in the directory of your choice. We&rsquo;re going to create a new header file (see the <a target="_blank" href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_autoindex.html#headername">HeaderName</a> directive) - which is a file that will get included at the top of the generated html that represents each directory listing. </p><h2>Step 1: Get Configured</h2><p>Here&rsquo;s the incantations you&rsquo;ll need in your .htaccess file:</p><div> <div><div><pre style="background:#f0f0f0; width:570px; overflow:auto">Options +Indexes IndexIgnore _header.html HeaderName /_header.html</pre></div></div><div>Using a root-relative path for the header file means you wont have to duplicate the same file down into every subdirectory. The IndexIgnore directive allows us to exclude the header file from the listing. You could also just use a dot-prefixed filename (but then your OS will likely hide it too.)</div></div><p>Create your _header.html file, and to make sure we&rsquo;re on track, start with something simple like:</p><div><div><div><pre style="background:#f0f0f0; width:570px; overflow:auto">&lt;div id="indexHeader"&gt;<br /> Here's my custom directory index header <br />&lt;/div&gt;<br /></pre></div></div></div><div widgetid="dirindex_ScreenshotBox_0" id="dirindex_ScreenshotBox_0"> <img src="http://www.sitepen.com/labs/code/dirindex/step1_custom_header.png" width="560px"><br></div><p>You should see something like the directory structure in this screenshot.<br><br></p><h2>Step 2: Adding Dojo</h2><p>Now the fun begins. We&rsquo;ll need some JavaScript and CSS to add style to our suggest box. You can host your own build of Dojo, but for simplicity, we&rsquo;ll use one from AOL&rsquo;s <abbr title="Content Delivery Network">CDN</abbr>.</p><div><div><div><pre style="background:#f0f0f0; width:570px; overflow:auto">&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://o.aolcdn.com/dojo/1.1.0/dojo/dojo.xd.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; <br />&lt;div id="indexHeader"&gt;Here's my custom directory index header.&lt;/div&gt;<br /></pre></div></div></div><div widgetid="dirindex_ScreenshotBox_1" id="dirindex_ScreenshotBox_1"> <img src="http://www.sitepen.com/labs/code/dirindex/step2_withdojo.png" width="560px"><br></div><p>In Firebug, we can now see there&rsquo;s a &ldquo;dojo&rdquo; object ready and waiting:<br><br></p><p>The suggest box we want to use comes from Dijit, Dojo&rsquo;s widget system, and is called the dijit.form.FilteringSelect widget. It&rsquo;s designed with a clean separation of the presentation and behavior layer from the actual data it is tasked with displaying. First, let&rsquo;s get it on the page, before we worry about how we&rsquo;re going to feed data to it. </p><div><div><div><pre style="background:#f0f0f0; width:570px; overflow:auto">&lt;link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="http://o.aolcdn.com/dojo/1.1.0/dijit/themes/tundra/tundra.css"/&gt; <br />&lt;style type="text/css" media="all"&gt;<br />#indexHeader {<br /> position: fixed;<br /> top: 0; right: 0;<br /> border: 1px solid #666;<br /> background-color: #f9f9f9;<br /> padding: 6px 1em 4px 1em;<br /> font-family: Tahoma MS, Chicago, arial, sans-serif;<br />}<br />.dj_ie #indexHeader {<br /> /* ie7 can do position:fixed, but only in <br /> standards mode, which we dont control here */<br /> position:absolute;<br />}<br />.dj_gecko #indexHeader {<br /> -moz-border-radius: 4px;<br /> margin-top: -4px; margin-right: -4px;<br />}<br />/* dijit moves the id to the inner input, and provides<br />the container element with an prefixed id */<br />#widget_fileSuggestBox { width: 14em; } <br />&lt;/style&gt; <br />&lt;style type="text/css" media="print"&gt;<br />#indexHeader{display:none;}<br />&lt;/style&gt;<br /></pre></div></div></div><p>We style the indexHeader, and arrange for the suggest-box to sit in the top-right corner of the page. The .dj_ie and .dj_gecko classes are a little Dijit magic - it adds a class to the &lt;html&gt; element which identifies the browser and makes this kind of CSS branching really easy and hack-free.</p><div><div><div><pre style="background:#f0f0f0; width:570px; overflow:auto">&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://o.aolcdn.com/dojo/1.1.0/dojo/dojo.xd.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;<br />&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://o.aolcdn.com/dojo/1.1.0/dijit/dijit.xd.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;<br />&lt;script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"&gt;<br /> dojo.require("dijit.form.FilteringSelect");<br /> dojo.require("dojo.parser");<br />&lt;/script&gt;<br />&lt;div id="indexHeader"&gt;<br /> &lt;label for="fileSuggestBox"&gt;Shortcut: &lt;/label&gt;<br /> &lt;div dojoType="dijit.form.FilteringSelect" store="linksStore" id="fileSuggestBox" searchAttr="id" labelAttr="label" invalidMessage="No matching file in this directory" &gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br />&lt;/div&gt;<br /></pre></div></div><br /></div><p>We&rsquo;ve added a script tag to pull in the dijit.xd.js file. That&rsquo;s a &ldquo;layer&rdquo; in Dojo build terminology, and it rolls up a lot of the common dependencies for working with widgets into one optimized file. We add the requires to pull in the specific widget we want to use, and ensure the parser module is loaded. We add some CSS and markup, and add the dojoType to the element that&rsquo;s destined to become our FilteringSelect widget. </p><br /><p>To configure the widget, we need to define some attributes:</p><dl><dt>store=&rdquo;linksStore&rdquo;</dt><dd>where to get its data. Should be a reference to a data store that supports at minimum the Read api</dd><dt>id=&rdquo;fileSuggestBox&rdquo;</dt><dd>so we can easily get a reference to it later</dd><dt>searchAttr=&rdquo;id&rdquo; </dt><dd>what data item attribute should we be matching against when we search with each keypress</dd><dt>labelAttr=&rdquo;label&rdquo;</dt><dd>what data item attribute should we use as the displayed option label in the dropdown</dd><dt>invalidMessage=&rdquo;No such file in this directory&rdquo;</dt><dd>message to display when no matches are found</dd></dl><p><br></p><div widgetid="dirindex_ScreenshotBox_2" id="dirindex_ScreenshotBox_2"> <img src="http://www.sitepen.com/labs/code/dirindex/step3_withmarkup.png" width="560px"><br></div><p>After doing all that, now we have a container but no combo box. Eh?<br><br></p><h2>Step 3: Tame the parser</h2><p>The Dojo parser allows us to add directives right into the markup where they make most sense. The dojoType attribute is there for the parser to find, but we haven&rsquo;t told it to run yet. In Dojo 1.* auto-parsing of the document for dojoType&rsquo;d elements is <em>off</em> by default. That&rsquo;s good. Blindly crawling the entire DOM of a potentially large page isn&rsquo;t something you want to do unless you need to for performance reasns. If you want to have it run automatically when the page loads, you can set djConfig.parseOnLoad to true, either with a djConfig attribute in the dojo.js script tag itself, or by defining a djConfig variable <em>before</em> the dojo script tag, and setting it there. </p><p>As it happens, we know where any widgets will be - in our indexHeader div. So, we kick off the parser, and pass it the container element we&rsquo;re working with:</p><div><div><div><pre style="background:#f0f0f0; width:570px; overflow:auto">&lt;script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"&gt;<br />dojo.require("dijit.form.FilteringSelect");<br />dojo.require("dojo.parser");<br />dojo.addOnLoad(function(){<br /> // there's no need to parse the whole page for widgets <br /> dojo.parser.parse( dojo.byId("indexHeader"));<br /> }); <br />&lt;/script&gt;</pre></div></div></div><p>Did that? Right now you&rsquo;re looking at an error that says linksStore is not defined. It is time to feed the widget.</p><h2>Step 4: Wire it up</h2><p>Let&rsquo;s create that missing linksStore:</p><div><div><div><pre style="background:#f0f0f0; width:570px; overflow:auto">&lt;div style="display:none" jsId="linksStore" dojoType="dojo.data.ItemFileWriteStore"&gt;<br /> &lt;script type="dojo/method" event="preamble" args="params"&gt;<br /> params.data = { identifier: "id", items: []}<br /> &lt;/script&gt;<br />&lt;/div&gt;</pre></div></div></div><p>The dojo.data.ItemFile*Store classes are fairly general purpose data store implementations that accept json data as input. We require dojo.data.ItemFileWriteStore - we&rsquo;re going to be dynamically adding items to this store, and this store implements the <a target="_blank" href="http://dojotoolkit.org/book/dojo-book-0-9/part-3-programmatic-dijit-and-dojo/what-dojo-data/dojo-data-design-and-apis/write">Write API</a> which gives us an easy way to do that.</p><p>We add a hidden div to have the parser trigger creation of the store (We could have done this with a statement in the script too - but this puts everything in one place).<br>The jsId attribute allows us to provide an identifier for the store object - it should match the store attribute on the FilteringSelect instance. </p><p>Now that we&rsquo;ve got a store (albeit empty) our FilteringSelect widget works. While we&rsquo;re here we&rsquo;ll define what we want to happen when the value changes (i.e. the user types a value and hits enter, or selects an item from the dropdown.) </p><div><div><div><pre style="background:#f0f0f0; width:570px; overflow:auto">&lt;div dojoType="dijit.form.FilteringSelect" store="linksStore" id="fileSuggestBox" searchAttr="id" labelAttr="label" invalidMessage="No matching file in this directory" &gt;<br /> &lt;script type="dojo/method" event="onChange" args="itemId"&gt;<br /> linksStore.fetchItemByIdentity({<br /> identity: itemId, onItem: function(item){<br /> window.location.href = linksStore.getValue(item, "url");<br /> },<br /> onError: function(){<br /> console.warn("no store item for: " + itemId);<br /> }<br /> });<br /> &lt;/script&gt;<br />&lt;/div&gt;</pre></div></div></div><p>We use the dojo/method script block to override the onChange method of the widget. It is directly equivalent to the following code block:</p><div><div><div><pre style="background:#f0f0f0; width:570px; overflow:auto">new dijit.form.FilteringSelect({onChange: function() { .. } }, node);</pre></div></div><div>The onChange method will be passed the new value.</div></div><p>Using the &ldquo;args&rdquo; attribute we assign the arguments[0] of this function to a &ldquo;itemId&rdquo; variable, that will be scoped to the function. We look up the item in the store, and redirect to the url the item provides. </p><h2>Step5: Populating the Store</h2><p>Ok. To finish this up, all we need now is data, and that means populating the store with items that have the same attributes as the links in our directory listing. You can imagine a lot of ways to do this. You could write a new index handler say in PHP that could return the listing in a json format to populate the dropdown list. Ugh, that&rsquo;s a lot of work. Or you could write that data inline into an array in a script block in the header file. </p><p>But it is work that&rsquo;s already been done by the built-in mod_autoindex module in Apache. The data we need is in the page, and it is there in a readily queryable format (DOM) with a little help from Dojo. </p><div><div><div><pre style="background:#f0f0f0; width:570px; overflow:auto">dojo.require("dijit.form.FilteringSelect");<br />dojo.require("dojo.data.ItemFileWriteStore");<br />dojo.require("dojo.parser");<br />dojo.addOnLoad(function(){<br /> var count=0;<br /> // to pick up the theme on the combobox drop-down<br /> // we need this class on the body <br /> dojo.addClass(dojo.body(), "tundra");<br /> // there's no need to parse the whole page for widgets<br /> dojo.parser.parse(dojo.byId("indexHeader"));<br /> // the query selected all "a" elements whose href<br /> // property doesn't begin with '?'. This filters out<br /> // the column sorting links that the<br /> // mod_autoindex's FancyIndexing option creates<br /> var query = 'a[href]';<br /> dojo.query(query).forEach(function(elm){<br /> var url = elm.href;<br /> var linkLabel = elm.text || elm.innerText;<br /> // use the index as the item id in the store<br /> var itemId = count++;<br /> // create the data object to create an item from<br /> var itemData = {<br /> label: itemId + ": " + linkLabel, url: url,<br /> // the link text is a filename, so it is<br /> // guaranteed to be unique.<br /> // we use it for the id, which is also<br /> // the field used to search on when<br /> // typing in the select box<br /> id: linkLabel<br /> };<br /> linksStore.newItem(itemData);<br /> }) <br />});</pre></div></div></div><p>To get that we use dojo.query, to find all &lt;a&gt; elements that have an href attribute - that&rsquo;s the query variable - a standard CSS3 selector. Then, using the forEach method of the dojo.NodeList that query returns, we iterate over the results.</p><p>Each node (&lt;a&gt; element) in the NodeList will be passed into the anonymous function we supply to forEach. We build up a data object with the properties we want to be able to retrieve later, and an (arbitrary) id, and call the Write API-standard newItem on our store to add the data, and make it available to the widget.</p><h2>Step 6: Add Polish</h2><p>There&rsquo;s a couple of finishing touches needed:</p><div><div><div><pre style="background:#f0f0f0; width:570px; overflow:auto">#indexHeader{<br /> visibility: hidden;<br />}</pre></div></div></div><p>We can avoid any distracting flicker as it loads and populates, by setting visibility initially to hidden, and only show when we&rsquo;re ready</p><div><div><div><pre style="background:#f0f0f0; width:570px; overflow:auto">dojo.addOnLoad(function(){<br /> var uniqueLinks ={};<br /> // to avoid any flicker, our header is initially display block, but hidden<br /> dojo.style(dojo.byId("indexHeader"), "visibility", "visible");<br /> // the query selected all "a" elements whose href property doesnt begin with '?'.<br /> // this filters out the column sorting links that the mod_autoindex's<br /> // FancyIndexing option creates<br /> var query = 'a:not(a[href^="?"])';<br /> dojo.query(query).forEach(function(elm){<br /> var url = elm.href;<br /> // dont list the same link twice<br /> if(uniqueLinks[url]){return;}<br /> else{uniqueLinks[url] = elm;}<br /> })<br />});</pre></div></div></div><p>Depending on how you&rsquo;ve got your directory listings configured, the icons might also be linked, so you&rsquo;d end up with duplicate entries for each member of the directory. So we use an object as a lookup to only add each item once (we could have also queried the store itself.) </p><p>Also, we can refine that query a bit more. We can exclude the column headers that allow sorting of the directory listing with a not clause in the CSS3 selector that is our query, as those links are distinguished by having a querystring (&rdquo;?&ldquo;) in the href attribute. </p><h2>Summary</h2><p>So <a target="_blank" href="http://sitepen.com/labs/code/dirindex/data/"><strong>there you have it</strong></a>.

It&rsquo;s also feature-rich, very well-designed, and - sorry - still in private beta.</p><p>Wix joins a multitude of browser-based website creators such as <a target="_blank" href="http://www.weebly.com/" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/www.weebly.com');">Weebly</a>, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.synthasite.com/" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/www.synthasite.com');">Synthasite</a>, and <a target="_blank" href="http://pages.google.com/" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/pages.google.com');">Google Pages</a>. But it reminds me the most of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.sproutbuilder.com/" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/www.sproutbuilder.com');">Sprout</a>, a widget-creation tool that can also be used to make websites, since both provide fluid Flash interfaces that appeal to your inner designer.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.techcrunch.com/wp-content/wix_shot1.png"><img src="http://www.techcrunch.com/wp-content/wix_thumb1.png" style="float:right" /></a></p><p>Both of these companies are blurring the line between content that&rsquo;s meant to stand alone as distinct websites, and content that&rsquo;s meant for syndication over blogs, social networks, and other destinations. It&rsquo;s because of this obfuscation that they&rsquo;ve opted to use the unspecific, yet self-referential, names &ldquo;sprout&rdquo; and &ldquo;wix&rdquo; when referring to their creations.</p><p>Whereas Sprout is mainly marketed as a tool for spreading media content, Wix most certainly appeals to a younger population that&rsquo;s obsessed with expressing themselves online (call them MySpacers, if you will). Wix does have a collection of tasteful business themes, but the vast majority of its templates are for fun and fall into categories like &ldquo;street art&rdquo;, &ldquo;emo&rdquo;, &ldquo;playground&rdquo;, and &ldquo;sexy&rdquo;.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.techcrunch.com/wp-content/wix_shot2.png"><img src="http://www.techcrunch.com/wp-content/wix_thumb22.png" style="float:right"/></a></p><p>Once you pick a theme for your new website (or widget, just depending on your dimensions), you are taken to a popup Wix Editor that provides you with an overwhelming number of ways to spice up your creation. You can add shapes, clipart, photos, videos, songs and animations; you can tweak colors and set visual effects for user behavior; and you can add text paragraphs and headlines. Photos can be uploaded manually or pulled in from either Flickr or a royalty-free stock collection; videos can be embedded from YouTube; and there&rsquo;s also a collection of free song clips that can be used in a range of skinnable music players.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.techcrunch.com/wp-content/wix_shot3.png"><img src="http://www.techcrunch.com/wp-content/wix_thumb3.png" style="float:right" /></a></p><p>Each wix supports multiple pages with links between them. When you want to edit a particular object on a page, you click on it and options for rotating, resizing, and positioning are revealed. A Mac OS-looking doc at the bottom of the screen also provides icons for setting effects, behaviors, animations, and more. You really need to play around with Wix to fully appreciate how much flair and how many customization options it affords.</p><p>As you work on your wix, you can hit a preview button to see what it will look like. And once you&rsquo;re done with it, you can publish it either as a website hosted on the wix.com domain or as a widget to be embedded or sent to friends via email.</p><p>One of the major complaints many have about Flash is that it doesn&rsquo;t allow for indexing by search engines. Wix gets around this by producing content that&rsquo;s a hybrid of HTML and Flash, despite the fact that it&rsquo;s editor is entirely Flash-based. This will be a huge benefit to anyone who uses Wix to set up a serious website, but it probably won&rsquo;t make any difference to widget creators.</p><p><strong>Update:</strong> Wix is giving out a couple hundred private beta invites to readers who email <a target="_blank" href="mailto:info@wix.com">info@wix.com</a> with requests.</p></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/775241673407191455-5883102541114040537?l=vijay-padhariya.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Vijay Padhariyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08427940598983405735noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775241673407191455.post-55441886518668310092008-04-28T17:05:00.000+05:302008-04-28T17:08:24.165+05:30<div style="text-align:justify"><p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.crunchbase.com/company/firewall-script" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/www.crunchbase.com');"><img src="http://www.techcrunch.com/wp-content/firewallscript.png" /></a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.firewallscript.com" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/www.firewallscript.com');">FirewallScript</a> has just launched a software-based security service that can be used on any server that supports PHP5, and even provides support for shared hosts. </p><p>The firewall is very similar in function to the popular open source firewall <a target="_blank" href="http://www.modsecurity.org" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/www.modsecurity.org');">ModSecurity</a>, but according to co-founder Ron Myers, there are some important differences. For one, a ModSecurity installation is server-wide, meaning that nobody on a shared hosting plan is able to install or modify its settings. This inevitably leads to problems, because ModSecurity tends to take a generalized approach to protection which may conflict with valid applications run by users who are unable to disable it.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.techcrunch.com/wp-content/fwsbig.png"><img src="http://www.techcrunch.com/wp-content/fwssmall.png" /></a></p><p>In contrast, FirewallScript can be installed by any user on a server, even under a shared hosting plan. All users can install or modify their security settings at will, and FirewallScript offers &lsquo;Rule Packs&rsquo; which are pre-configured for certain web apps like WordPress and vBulletin. This allows users to tailor their security to cover things that applications like ModSecuity may have mishandled. Installation is also a breeze, requiring only a simple install script and a minimal amount of technical knowlege.</p><p>I think that FirewallScript could have a place in the market, given that the vast majority of small-time sites are hosted on cheap shared hosting plans. But I question how many people will be unsatisfied with the security their plans already provide, or how many will care about security to begin with. For those that are interested, enter the code &lsquo;techcrunch&rsquo; for 50% off the normal price of $85.</p></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/775241673407191455-5544188651866831009?l=vijay-padhariya.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Vijay Padhariyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08427940598983405735noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775241673407191455.post-70638144936641681922008-04-28T11:40:00.000+05:302008-04-28T11:43:22.168+05:30<div style="text-align:justify"><p> This might seem an utopia: a project aiming to present <strong>Count Dracula's life</strong>, the medieval Transylvania of XV-th century, what is true and what is only imagination about <strong>Vlad the Impaler</strong> and the middle-ages, when he lived. <br />The idea came closely to my mind while searching some real information about Vlad III the Impaler. It's not about scarcity of the information that surprised me, but the difficulty to find only the truth, not the mythology around, as well as details about the places, the people of that age, etc. <br />My ideas might change in time, but what I have in mind right now is grouping the information in few big groups: </p><p> 1. <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://dracula-transylvania.blogspot.com/2007/02/real-life-of-vlad-impaler-dracula.html">Vlad III Dracula</a></strong>.

My idea is we cannot really understand all details if we don't try to contextualize the facts. How was people's life, how were the medieval towns what did they looked like, what about the medieval church ? What about education ?

No one knows for certain how far, or in what direction, the Internet will evolve. But no one should underestimate its importance. <img src="http://www.blogiseverything.com/files/pics/internet_map_small.jpg" align="right" height="450" hspace="20" vspace="20" width="450" /></p><p>Over the past century and a half, important technological developments have created a global environment that is drawing the people of the world closer and closer together. During the industrial revolution, we learned to put motors to work to magnify human and animal muscle power. In the new Information Age, we are learning to magnify brainpower by putting the power of computation wherever we need it, and to provide information services on a global basis. Computer resources are infinitely flexible tools; networked together, they allow us to generate, exchange, share and manipulate information in an uncountable number of ways. The Internet, as an integrating force, has melded the technology of communications and computing to provide instant connectivity and global information services to all its users at very low cost. </p><p>Ten years ago, most of the world knew little or nothing about the Internet. It was the private enclave of computer scientists and researchers who used it to interact with colleagues in their respective disciplines. Today, the Internet&rsquo;s magnitude is thousands of times what it was only a decade ago. It is estimated that about 60 million host computers on the Internet today serve about 200 million users in over 200 countries and territories. Today&rsquo;s telephone system is still much larger: about 3 billion people around the world now talk on almost 950 million telephone lines (about 250 million of which are actually radio-based cell phones). But by the end of the year 2000, the authors estimate there will be at least 300 million Internet users. Also, the total numbers of host computers and users have been growing at about 33% every six months since 1988 &ndash; or roughly 80% per year. The telephone service, in comparison, grows an average of about 5-10% per year. That means if the Internet keeps growing steadily the way it has been growing over the past few years, it will be nearly as big as today&rsquo;s telephone system by about 2006. </p><p>The underpinnings of the Internet are formed by the global interconnection of hundreds of thousands of otherwise independent computers, communications entities and information systems. What makes this interconnection possible is the use of a set of communication standards, procedures and formats in common among the networks and the various devices and computational facilities connected to them. The procedures by which computers communicate with each other are called &ldquo;protocols.&rdquo; While this infrastructure is steadily evolving to include new capabilities, the protocols initially used by the Internet are called the &ldquo;TCP/IP&rdquo; protocols, named after the two protocols that formed the principal basis for Internet operation. </p><p>On top of this infrastructure is an emerging set of architectural concepts and data structures for heterogeneous information systems that renders the Internet a truly global information system. In essence, the Internet is an architecture, although many people confuse it with its implementation. When the Internet is looked at as an architecture, it manifests two different abstractions. One abstraction deals with communications connectivity, packet delivery and a variety of end-end communication services. The other abstraction deals with the Internet as an information system, independent of its underlying communications infrastructure, which allows creation, storage and access to a wide range of information resources, including digital objects and related services at various levels of abstraction. </p><p>Interconnecting computers is an inherently digital problem. Computers process and exchange digital information, meaning that they use a discrete mathematical &ldquo;binary&rdquo; or &ldquo;two-valued&rdquo; language of 1s and 0s. For communication purposes, such information is mapped into continuous electrical or optical waveforms. The use of digital signaling allows accurate regeneration and reliable recovery of the underlying bits. We use the terms &ldquo;computer,&rdquo; &ldquo;computer resources&rdquo; and &ldquo;computation&rdquo; to mean not only traditional computers, but also devices that can be controlled digitally over a network, information resources such as mobile programs and other computational capabilities. </p><p>The telephone network started out with operators who manually connected telephones to each other through &ldquo;patch panels&rdquo; that accepted patch cords from each telephone line and electrically connected them to one another through the panel, which operated, in effect, like a switch. The result was called circuit switching, since at its conclusion, an electrical circuit was made between the calling telephone and the called telephone. Conventional circuit switching, which was developed to handle telephone calls, is inappropriate for connecting computers because it makes limited use of the telecommunication facilities and takes too long to set up connections. Although reliable enough for voice communication, the circuit-switched voice network had difficulty delivering digital information without errors. </p><p>For digital communications, packet switching is a better choice, because it is far better suited to the typically &ldquo;burst&rdquo; communication style of computers. Computers that communicate typically send out brief but intense bursts of data, then remain silent for a while before sending out the next burst. These bursts are communicated as packets, which are very much like electronic postcards. The postcards, in reality packets, are relayed from computer to computer until they reach their destination. The special computers that perform this forwarding function are called variously &ldquo;packet switches&rdquo; or &ldquo;routers&rdquo; and form the equivalent of many bucket brigades spanning continents and oceans, moving buckets of electronic postcards from one computer to another.&nbsp; Together these routers and the communication links between them form the underpinnings of the Internet. </p><p>Without packet switching, the Internet would not exist as we now know it. Going back to the postcard analogy, postcards can get lost. They can be delivered out of order, and they can be delayed by varying amounts. The same is true of Internet packets, which, on the Internet, can even be duplicated. The Internet Protocol is the postcard layer of the Internet. The next higher layer of protocol, TCP, takes care of re-sending the &ldquo;postcards&rdquo; to recover packets that might have been lost, and putting packets back in order if they have become disordered in transit. </p><p>Of course, packet switching is about a billion times faster than the postal service or a bucket brigade would be. It also has to operate over many different communications systems, or substrata. The authors designed the basic architecture to be so simple and undemanding that it could work with most communication services. Many organizations, including commercial ones, carried out research using the TCP/IP protocols in the 1970s. Email was steadily used over the nascent Internet during that time and to the present. It was not until 1994 that the general public began to be aware of the Internet by way of the World Wide Web application, particularly after Netscape Communications was formed and released its browser and associated server software. </p><p>Thus, the evolution of the Internet was based on two technologies and a research dream. The technologies were packet switching and computer technology, which, in turn, drew upon the underlying technologies of digital communications and semiconductors. The research dream was to share information and computational resources. But that is simply the technical side of the story. Equally important in many ways were the other dimensions that enabled the Internet to come into existence and flourish. This aspect of the story starts with cooperation and far-sightedness in the U.S. Government, which is often derided for lack of foresight but is a real hero in this story. </p><p>It leads on to the enthusiasm of private sector interests to build upon the government funded developments to expand the Internet and make it available to the general public. Perhaps most important, it is fueled by the development of the personal computer industry and significant changes in the telecommunications industry in the 1980s, not the least of which was the decision to open the long distance market to competition. The role of workstations, the Unix operating system and local area networking (especially the Ethernet) are themes contributing to the spread of Internet technology in the 1980s into the research and academic community from which the Internet industry eventually emerged. </p><p>Many individuals have been involved in the development and evolution of the Internet covering a span of almost four decades if one goes back to the early writings on the subject of computer networking by Kleinrock, Licklider, Baran, Roberts, and&nbsp; Davies.&nbsp; The ARPANET, described below, was the first wide-area computer network. The NSFNET, which followed more than a decade later under the leadership of Erich Bloch, Gordon Bell, Bill Wulf and Steve Wolff, brought computer networking into the mainstream of the research and education communities. It is not our intent here to attempt to attribute credit to all those whose contributions were central to this story, although we mention a few of the key players.</p><p>The authors created an architecture for interconnecting independent networks that could then be federated into a seamless whole without changing any of the underlying networks. This was the genesis of the Internet as we know it today.</p><p>In order to work properly, the architecture required a global addressing mechanism (or Internet address) to enable computers on any network to reference and communicate with computers on any other network in the federation. Internet addresses fill essentially the same role as telephone numbers do in telephone networks. The design of the Internet assumed first that the individual networks could not be changed to accommodate new architectural requirements; but this was largely a pragmatic assumption to facilitate progress. The networks also had varying degrees of reliability and speed. Host computers would have to be able to put disordered packets back into the correct order and discard duplicate packets that had been generated along the way. This was a major change from the virtual circuit-like service provided by ARPANET and by then contemporary commercial data networking services such as Tymnet and Telenet. In these networks, the underlying network took responsibility for keeping all information in order and for re-sending any data that might have been lost. The Internet design made the computers responsible for tending to these network problems. </p><p>A key architectural construct was the introduction of gateways (now called routers) between the networks to handle the disparities such as different data rates, packet sizes, error conditions, and interface specifications. The gateways would also check the destination Internet addresses of each packet to determine the gateway to which it should be forwarded. These functions would be combined with certain end-end functions to produce the reliable communication from source to destination. A draft paper by the authors describing this approach was given at a meeting of the International Network Working Group in 1973 in Sussex, England and the final paper was subsequently published by the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers, the leading professional society for the electrical engineering profession, in its Transactions on Communications in May, 1974. The paper described the TCP/IP protocol. </p><p>DARPA contracted with Cerf&rsquo;s group at Stanford to carry out the initial detailed design of the TCP software and, shortly thereafter, with BBN and University College London to build independent implementations of the TCP protocol (as it was then called &ndash; it was later split into TCP and IP) for different machines. BBN also had a contract to build a prototype version of the gateway. These three sites collaborated in the development and testing of the initial protocols on different machines. Cerf, then a professor at Stanford, provided the day-to-day leadership in the initial TCP software design and testing. BBN deployed the gateways between the ARPANET and the PRNET and also with SATNET. During this period, under Kahn&rsquo;s overall leadership at DARPA, the initial feasibility of the Internet Architecture was demonstrated. </p><p>The TCP/IP protocol suite was developed and refined over a period of four more years and, in 1980, it was adopted as a standard by the U.S. Department of Defense. On January 1, 1983 the ARPANET converted to TCP/IP as its standard host protocol.&nbsp; Gateways (or routers) were used to pass packets to and from host computers on &ldquo;local area networks.&rdquo; Refinement and extension of these protocols and many others associated with them continues to this day by way of the Internet Engineering Task Force. </p></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/775241673407191455-379856019593355138?l=vijay-padhariya.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Vijay Padhariyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08427940598983405735noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775241673407191455.post-53398236954884467772008-04-25T14:31:00.000+05:302008-04-25T14:32:40.783+05:30<div style="text-align:justify"><h3>1) Oh S***!

Their actions provide stark contrast and add depth to the hero&rsquo;s character. This enemy usually takes the form of a human persona or a situation.</p><p>You cringe and fear for the heroine when the enemy hurts her. When she overcomes the enemy, you feel happy or relieved that order is restored. Hollywood movies usually end at this point: closure is secured by the elimination of the villain.</p><p>Films, businesses and websites are similar in the sense that they each have their own enemies. The weight-loss blog&rsquo;s No.1 enemy is fat. The productivity guru&rsquo;s enemy is clutter or poor time-management. The web designer&rsquo;s enemy is ugly and non-user friendly site architecture.</p><p><strong>Enemies sculpt your product or service focus</strong>. They help to define your goals. Remind your readers or buyers of the common enemy you face. Just as the movie-goer empathizes with the hero and admires her passion in the face of adversity, you want to connect with your audience in the same way. </p><p>Enemies provide fuel for collective action. They legitimate and make you relevant.<br></p><h3>Emphasize Your Enemies and Refine Your Mission Statement</h3><p>Political websites are good examples of sites which define their purpose via oppositional factors. Let&rsquo;s take the example of <a target="_blank" href="http://thinkprogress.org/">Think Progress</a>, a liberal political blog. It is a site that has unambiguously outlined its enemies: </p><p><img border="0" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3201/2378706296_6a1b4a646a_o.jpg" alt="Think Progress Screenshot" height="540" width="542"></p><p>When you subscribe to or read Think Progress, you get a liberal perspective on world issues and U.S politics. Bloggers on that site emphasize specific sound-bites from news reports and use them to frame their arguments against an opposing enemy, be it corruption or a extreme right-winger. </p><p>Conservative websites do exactly the same thing. They protest or fight against what they deem to be the wrong policy or way to interpret a specific event. When you read a conservative political blog, you acquire a different perspective. </p><p>All websites and businesses are defined by what they believe in and what they oppose. I&rsquo;ve mentioned that <a target="_blank" href="http://www.doshdosh.com/what-you-dont-publish-defines-your-site/">what you don&rsquo;t publish, defines your blog</a>. I&rsquo;ve also suggested that <a target="_blank" href="http://www.doshdosh.com/ideals-and-promises/">ideals/promises are important</a> to attract and maintain an audience. </p><p>Now what you need to do is to emphasis your enemies. <strong>What are you fighting against and why? </strong> Make sure your audience knows what is your business&rsquo;s purpose. </p><p>This is not about mud-slinging or insults. This is not about creating a straw-man. This is all about refining your mission statement and accentuating your perspective. </p><p>When people know what you&rsquo;re fighting against, they know where you stand. And that matters when you want to gain both empathy and their patronage.</p></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/775241673407191455-7903803086238920827?l=vijay-padhariya.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Vijay Padhariyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08427940598983405735noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775241673407191455.post-80509865308874639172008-04-18T12:15:00.001+05:302008-04-18T12:21:47.375+05:30<div style="text-align:justify"><p><img border="0" src="http://makeuseof.com/images/ubuntu-logo.jpg" alt="Ubuntu Logo" align="left"> I have now made a switch - I am a full time Ubuntu user and I love every minute of it. Ubuntu is one of the best Linux releases in my opinion, although I&rsquo;ve only tried 3-4 other Linux distros. I know that hardcore Linux people may argue, but Ubuntu is the only OS that enabled my sound card and my wireless internet connection without as much as a sweat.</p><p>I am all for configuring OS options, digging into the roots and so on, but I want to do this to make it look good, go faster or do some extra stuff, not to make it actually work. I now do not use any illegal software whatsoever and I&rsquo;m not really missing any of them. What Windows software is there to miss that I used a lot? </p><p><strong>Office</strong></p><p>I used MS Office although with the dawn of AJAX and fancy new technology I use <a target="_blank" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/6-free-office-suites-that-are-not-microsoft/">online word processing</a> more. <a target="_blank" href="http://openoffice.org" target="_blank">Open Office</a> is also a great alternative although Excel is very hard to beat.</p><p>I also used Microsoft&rsquo;s OneNote and as note organizers go, I have never found a really suitable alternative. With Linux I found it after about 5 minutes of searching. <a target="_blank" href="http://basket.kde.org/" title="Note organizer" target="_blank">Basket Notes</a> is a very capable replacement with possibly less features but the basic idea is the same.</p><p>There was also a time I used Evernote, although I didn&rsquo;t like it very much. If you want to take notes on Ubuntu I don&rsquo;t think <a target="_blank" href="http://www.gnome.org/projects/tomboy/" title="take notes in linux" target="_blank">Tomboy</a> is beatable. I don&rsquo;t think actually any Windows application beats it either, it&rsquo;s just phenomenal. The interlinking wiki style goodness and simplicity is just awesome. Mackenzie <a target="_blank" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/getting-stuff-done-on-linux-part-2/">mentioned it</a> earlier as well.</p><div align="center"><img border="0" src="http://makeuseof.com/images/tomboy-note-taking-linux.png" alt="null"></div><p><strong>Graphics</strong></p><p>Photoshop was an application I used quite a lot to edit some pics for my own blog, but <a target="_blank" href="http://www.gimp.org/" title="gimp" target="_blank">GIMP</a> has replaced it totally. I always had something against GIMP, but maybe I used an older version because it is easy to use and can do everything I require of it. The navigation differs a bit from Photoshop which took some time to get used to, but the learning curve isn&rsquo;t steep at all.</p><p><strong>Desktop</strong></p><p>I always liked having multiple desktops and I used various ways on Vista to get what I need. I created separate user accounts for different tasks, tried software <a target="_blank" href="http://virtuawin.sourceforge.net/">VirtualWin</a>, but since Windows isn&rsquo;t really built for a multiple desktop environment all of these methods had problems. Enter <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ubuntu.com/">Ubuntu 7.10</a> with all these features virtually built in. With <a target="_blank" href="http://compiz.org/" target="_blank">Compiz</a> already installed, all you need is a couple of downloads and you will be off to 3D goodness, with rotating cubes, wobbly windows and all the bells and whistles you need.</p><p><strong>Email</strong></p><p>Outlook is an industry standard software solution to email and task management and is actually very good at it. It is one of the best apps for Windows and I thought finding a replacement wouldn&rsquo;t be easy. Well, there are numerous ways to replace your trusty Outlook. One of the best and most complete solutions is <a target="_blank" href="http://www.gnome.org/projects/evolution/" title="email solution" target="_blank">Evolution</a>, which is really an Outlook clone with a lot of the same functionality.</p><p>I actually switched to a fully online based email management system but I wanted to keep a separate contact manager. <a target="_blank" href="http://rubrica.berlios.de/" title="contact manager" target="_blank">Rubrica Address Book</a> was my application of choice. It&rsquo;s just a simple, but effective task manager with a unique tab-based approach to task management. Another application I used in Windows was Gmail Notifier, which is officially not available for Linux, but clever people have written an application which does exactly the same. Take a look at the Linux based <a target="_blank" href="http://gmail-notify.sourceforge.net/" title="gmail notifier" target="_blank">Gmail Notifier</a>.</p></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/775241673407191455-8050986530887463917?l=vijay-padhariya.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Vijay Padhariyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08427940598983405735noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775241673407191455.post-29050657970197126292008-04-18T11:47:00.001+05:302008-04-18T11:50:43.918+05:30<p style="text-align:justify"> There&rsquo;re a lot of entrepreneurs out there who have a great <strong>entrepreneurial spirit </strong>and some pretty <strong>rockin&rsquo; ideas</strong>, but who don&rsquo;t really understand what they need to do to get the funds to make their dreams reality. Obviously, havin&rsquo; kicked it for a couple years in VC, I&rsquo;ve got an inside scoop as to what investors, as well as lenders, are lookin&rsquo; for amidst the flood of business plans that come through the door every day. You ready?!<span id="more-3026"> </span></p><p style="text-align:justify">Let&rsquo;s go for a ride:<br> <strong>1. Is your business idea solid? </strong><br>This seems obvious, right? You&rsquo;d be surprised how many not-so-solid ideas walk through the door. To be solid, you need to have at least one of five things: (1) something new, (2) something better, (3) a new or underserved market (as I&rsquo;ll get into next), (4) a new way of or channel for gettin&rsquo; somethin&rsquo; to customers, or (5) more integration. If you don&rsquo;t have at least one of these, you better just start over.</p><p style="text-align:justify"><strong>2. Does a sufficient market exist for your product? </strong><br>Whether the market for your product is new or underserved, isn&rsquo;t a make or break. But whether the market for your product is sufficient definitely is. I don&rsquo;t care how great your idea is, if the market doesn&rsquo;t exist to support it, you&rsquo;ve got no chance. Every stage of the development of your product needs to be based on givin&rsquo; your customers value so as to create a sufficient market. For more on the importance of givin&rsquo; your customers value, check out: <a href="http://jakepitt.com/blog/the-essence-of-business-value/" target="_blank">http://jakepitt.com/blog/the-essence-of-business-value</a></p><p style="text-align:justify"><strong>3. Are your financial projections worthwhile yet realistic?</strong><br>A very key component of a business plan is your financials. Plain and simple, if you&rsquo;re not gonna make enough, you&rsquo;re not gonna get funded. On the flipside, one of the biggest mistakes you can make is to just make numbers and then grow &lsquo;em at a great rate over a few years in order to make your idea look good. Uh uh. Bad idea. The first question you&rsquo;re gonna get asked is how you came up with your numbers. Do research. Find comparable companies. Analyze your market. You need to have SOME basis for your numbers. From there, I say go with the highest numbers that you can defend.</p><p style="text-align:justify"><strong>4. Is your business idea in line with the investor or lender&rsquo;s patterns?</strong><br>This is where a little homework can save ya some wasted time. If you&rsquo;ve got a great idea for a new dog collar, but you&rsquo;re approachin&rsquo; a VC firm that specializes in medical technology, it doesn&rsquo;t matter how happy it&rsquo;ll make Rover, you&rsquo;re not gettin&rsquo; your cash. Similarly, if banks only lend to borrowers that fall within certain categories and you&rsquo;re not in one, you&rsquo;re not in the money either. Just do you&rsquo;re homework.</p><p style="text-align:justify"><strong>5. Are the key members of management experienced and capable?</strong><br>I&rsquo;m a firm believer that it&rsquo;s the actual people runnin&rsquo; the show that make it or break it. As I often remind my readers, I invest in people, not projects. No matter how great the idea, if you don&rsquo;t have experienced and capable managers outlined in your plan, an investor or lender isn&rsquo;t gonna touch it without at least demandin&rsquo; that its own managers be put in place. If you don&rsquo;t wanna be put in that situation, bring some experienced and capable managers on board on your own, even if just as Advisory Board members.</p><p style="text-align:justify"><strong>6. Does the plan clearly describe how the investor or lender will get paid? </strong><br>Newsflash, Walter Cronkite, investors and lenders aren&rsquo;t fundin&rsquo; your great idea because they think you&rsquo;re a nice guy or chick or because they are feelin&rsquo; generous. They&rsquo;re doin&rsquo; it because they think they can gain by doin&rsquo; it. To help &lsquo;em realize this, make your investor&rsquo;s exit strategy or your repayment to the lender very clear. THIS is what they really wanna know. THIS is how they make their money and why they&rsquo;re in the game.</p><p style="text-align:justify">When you&rsquo;re puttin&rsquo; together that rockin&rsquo; business plan, keep these questions in mind. If you can&rsquo;t answer &ldquo;Yes&rdquo; to &lsquo;em, investors and lenders aren&rsquo;t gonna answer &ldquo;Yes&rdquo; to you either.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/775241673407191455-2905065797019712629?l=vijay-padhariya.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Vijay Padhariyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08427940598983405735noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775241673407191455.post-42439973328391292462008-04-18T11:45:00.000+05:302008-04-18T11:47:06.367+05:30<p style="text-align:justify">If you are worried that some programs on your PC are secretly making connections to websites in the background, here's a quick tip that uses a simple <a target="_blank" title="Most Useful DOS Commands" href="http://labnol.blogspot.com/2006/04/useful-windows-xp-dos-commands-tricks.html">DOS command</a> to detect and prevent such suspicious activity:</p><p style="text-align:justify">1. Type cmd in your Windows Run box.</p><p style="text-align:justify">2. Type "netstat -b 5 &gt; activity.txt" and press enter. After say 2 minutes, press Ctrl+C.</p><p style="text-align:justify">3.

It will also show which process connected to which website in this time. And not just the web browsers (like iexplore.exe or opera.exe), the log will also show your IM clients, download managers, email programs or any software that requires a net connection.</p><p style="text-align:justify">Scroll though the activity.txt file and look for any process names or website addresses that you are not aware of. If you track one , go to the task manager (or Process Explorer) to find the location of the executable on your computer and eliminate it.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/775241673407191455-4243997332839129246?l=vijay-padhariya.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Vijay Padhariyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08427940598983405735noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775241673407191455.post-45149677225675931862008-04-18T11:41:00.001+05:302008-04-18T11:42:58.958+05:30<p style="text-align:justify"><img src="http://www.labnol.org/wp/images/2008/04/install-software.png" alt="install-software" align="right" border="0" height="174" width="225">When you install or upgrade software on your computer, the installer program works hard in the background writing new files to the system, creating new registry entries and in some cases, it will even download new files from the Internet during the installation process.</p><p style="text-align:justify">Now that seems to be a fairly complex and we often don&rsquo;t care more about this &ldquo;behind the scenes&rdquo; activity. We <a title="Read TheEend User License Agreements" href="http://labnol.blogspot.com/2006/03/installing-software-let-eulalyzer-read.html">accept the EULA</a> and wait for the installation to get over without really thinking about stuff that has changed on the computer in the last few minutes.</p><p style="text-align:justify"><span id="more-2841"> </span></p><p style="text-align:justify">That&rsquo;s OK in 99% of the cases but how do you troubleshoot when the software installation fails and the error message is not clear enough for you to debug the problem. Or consider the case when you are installing a software utility that comes from not a very credible source.</p><p style="text-align:justify">Here are some essential tools - completely free - that you spy the installation routine so you exactly pinpoint problems or know about suspicious changes made by the installer:</p><p style="text-align:justify"><strong><img src="http://www.labnol.org/wp/images/2008/04/compare-registry.png" alt="compare-registry" align="right" border="0" height="99" width="307"> 1. </strong><a target="_blank" href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/regshot"><strong>Regshot</strong></a> - Before you begin the installation process, take a snapshot the registry with this tool. Once the software installation is complete, take another snapshot of the registry.</p><p style="text-align:justify">This ~91k tool will then generate an HTML report of all the changes made to your registry pre- and post-installation. Will be handy if program B stops to function after your install program A. Maybe A deleted or changed registry entries that were required by program B.</p><p style="text-align:justify"><strong>2. </strong><a target="_blank" href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx"><strong>ProcMon</strong></a>(ealier File Monitor) - When you install new software, the installer program will always access various files and folders on your computer. Sometimes the installation can fail if some of these file(s) are missing from the computer.</p><p style="text-align:justify"><img src="http://www.labnol.org/wp/images/2008/04/file-install-activity.png" alt="file-install-activity" border="0" height="296" width="460"></p><p style="text-align:justify">This FileMon utility from Microsoft offers you a real-time view of every file that the installer is trying to read / access on your computer. You will therefore know about the files that were required but do not exist on your system.</p><p style="text-align:justify">Related: <a target="_blank" href="http://labnol.blogspot.com/2007/03/replace-windows-addremove-programs-with.html">A Better Uninstaller Program for Windows </a></p><p style="text-align:justify"><strong>3. </strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Mouser/urlsnooper/"><strong>URL Snooper</strong></a>- Most software titles can &ldquo;Check for New updates&rdquo; and if there are any, they will automatically download the necessary files from the website and install them on your computer.</p><p style="text-align:justify">Fine but how do you know about websites that the software is trying to connect or what kind of files are being downloaded onto your computer.</p><p style="text-align:justify"><img src="http://www.labnol.org/wp/images/2008/04/internet-activity.png" alt="internet-activity" border="0" height="167" width="460"></p><p style="t
