Its been quite some time & I’ve received quite a lot of eMails from people asking me when the v2.0 Final of iG:Syntax Hiliter will be released.
Firstly I’d like to express my gratitude to people who’ve taken few moments out of their busy schedule to try & implement my plugin & who are interested in it. Thanks guys, you are the best. ๐
Read MoreThis news story from PCWorld reports that a group of hackers has re-opened its source code shop online after it was forced to shut down in July, a few days after it surfaced. The shop, Source Code Club, was selling the source code of Enterasys Dragon IDS 6.1 for just $16,000 and the source code of file sharing software by Napster for $10,000. The Source Code Club said that it was selling corporate intelligence to its customers.
Read MoreI stumbled across this old news story at c|net news, which has me gasping for breath & making me jealous of South Koreans. How I got to this news story isn’t important, but this news story is. ๐
As per this news story at c|net news, on an average, the Internet Connection speed in South Korea is 8 megabits per second, in short, its 8Mbps. ๐ฏ :dizzy: Its 8 times more than what broadband users get in US, states the news story. ๐ Seems like the americans reading this or those aware of this fact might think that their connection which they thought was broadband, is just infact a narrow, a much narrow band. ๐
Read MoreI’ve been hearing a lot of people complaining about how much SPAM they are getting & WordPress being unable to stop them. Well I do sympathise for these people for being victimised by SPAMMERS but they are wrong in blaming WordPress. ๐ As far as I’ve seen, WordPress has one of the strongest SPAM prevention features out-of-box. ๐ These features are made more powerful by some excellent work by the contributors to WordPress by rolling out great plugins that go a long way in blocking SPAM. ๐
Read MoreThis week, Chris, the publisher of Webmasters Weekly made a goof-up. In this week’s issue, he refered to the project ResumeWiKi started by Ensight‘s Jeremy Wright but named him as Jeremy Right. Looks like he forgot to prefix the surname with a W. ๐
Well, its quite amusing, no? Jer has done quite a few things Right, so I think that Chris thought its time some-one gave him recognition for what he has done. ๐ Good thinking Chris, I agree with you. ๐
Read MoreHere’s a function in ASP from my code lib that I wrote quite a while ago to read the contents of a file into a variable when I was trying some custom tag parsing in a template engine of mine that I was making in ASP. ๐ก The details are quite boring so you better not know them, the project was one of my un-sung part-failures but I learned quite a lot by working on that pet project. ๐
Read MoreI’ve added 3 FAQs on RegEx at ezFAQs & I’ll try to add more later today as at this moment I’m feeling a bit sleepy.
What’s a Regular Expression or RegEx?
Where can the Regular Expressions be used?
Are there any free tools available to aid writing & testing of RegEx?
I’ve agreed to help out Dennis with the content of his website ezFAQs.
ezFAQs is about the FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) on Web Development. The deal is that I add FAQs or answer any pending FAQs. Google AdSense ads are shown on each FAQ & I can specify my AdSense publisher account number & channel so that AdSense ads displayed on FAQs by me will have my account number & I will get all of the revenue earned from the clicks on those ads. Also, I have a link pointing to my Blog on the FAQ page.
Read MoreSo finally I’ve started into Regular Expressions. ๐
After been consistently realising the need for getting all wet in RegEx but fearing the cold waters, I started on RegEx yesterday when I built a validation class in PHP for a project that I’m working on, heavily using RegEx. About 99% of validation is being done by way of RegEx & I know that many tasks can be done with RegEx quite efficiently, as someone told me sometime back that RegEx are resource hungry if not optimally used, I simply built this class using RegEx just to see that I too can do it. ๐
Now you can use MovableType as a Forum Software too, as per this release by Anil on Six-Apart Professional Network.(via WebLogToolsCollection) ๐ฏ
Firstly I’d say that the demo looks good, with Forum design taken from phpBB. ๐ ๐
Secondly, I’d like to register my surprise on the extent to which people are crazy. ๐ I’d like to question MT’s ability as a blogging software, leave alone its acceptance as a forum which may & will get a high amount of traffic.
