Blog - Foolog
Apart from valiantly trying to make something off my life,
There 're new things too.
- Arbitrary Social network on Drupal running the usaul crappy profile pages, et al... and running 600 queries for the front page.. Nice eh.
- New all encompassing portal for a random group of institutions.
- Measles. The usaul Oscommerce work
- My own PMS.. with cvs problems as usaul..duhh . and with an ass load of bugs too. Boring
- The animal care ngo still remains
- This guy still dint get his data entry done.
Like PHP ran out'f memory
Flickr logs me in on 'p6' no more.. The white screen of death before it authenticates.
Why me ?
Astrophobia?
http://www.bas.org.in/Home/blog-entry/hemanthariyani/2007/20/08/astrology-does-affect-ones-lifeI am a believer in mystic sciencies / arts (which I believe astrology is)..But That is positively hilarious :)) It can be very frustrating..especially when it starts intruding into your life and establishes control over all your actions.
Very Interesting.
http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/2007/08/16/how-much-overhead-is-caused-by-on-disk-temporary-tables/I think I got this sent on some random devel list as well.
AOP
Pretty interesting concept actually, Will rather tickle not just your ribs but your thoughts as well..
I think I can almost relate innately to this :-)

$_GET['WTF??']
http://worsethanfailure.com/Comments/Multithreaded-PHP-.aspxAnd yeah, I think that'll only create a new process and not a new thread. But a pretty novel idea nonetheless..Not really worth being WTFed about at all. What are worth a WTF afterall are actually some of the comments there. BTW, One of those regarding command line PHP is hilarious :))
Where's life heading to?
24 Months and more of trauma and there's been only this single consolation all through..Life now forks out. The 4L headache is done or so it seems..God be praised..But all it invokes is a "ayyoo..sumne anyaya".
Coming to her..She's been the only lease of life, Apart from the computer thats kept me alive all this long..But not really ideal is she...I've other soulmates I can xmlrpc to too...Life evens out..after all.
Screw Fatwas and the retards who issue them.
It's time somebody did that..especially in the wake of some hyper fanatic cleric of the Tipu Sultan Shahi mosque, Kolkata issuing a death fatwa against Taslima Nasreen.
The edicts have become all too normal these days..I remember one against Sania Mirza ! I fancy imagining Sania playing in an opaque Burkha! Fatwas get issues for each and every goddamnn thing.
I fail to see how people who issue these things get away with it..Not only is this a perspicacious defiance of the laws of the country, bigotry towards the land..but also a criminal offence.. I cant imagine a Hindu Priest for instance, issue a death edict against an arbitrary person and getting away with it... Why should a mullah get away with it ? Such double standards..
I'd really want that cleric caught and Jailed a couple of years..That should teach some others to shut the fuck up.
Kannada Typepad
Aye.. Great Stuff this. Wanted to write about a while back ...but that bit of sector in my brain got evaporated all by itself.
http://www.mykannada.net/KannadaTypePad.htmI saw the admin of this site (?.. Not sure though) Posting a comment here..Perpetrating this rather delayed recall. Some great JavaScript work there.. I would've loved to have done something like this... and I did try something similar at one time, But rather unsuccessfully so. In any case, this is super-cool. I wish they could port this as the default editor to whatever Sampada.net uses.. TinyMCE or FCKEditor I expect, Too lazy to confirm now. The last I saw, Sampada.net needed that Convertor to render input to Kannada Unicode. I wonder if Sampada is still running Drupal 4.6..Nothing has changed so far as I know.. Great work by Mr HPN nonetheless, and especially with the Kannada Wikipedia too.
Taxonomy based block visibility snippet
//Displays block on all nodes off specific taxonomy term or it's child terms. Mighty useful in lots of cases.
<?php
$root_term = taxonomy_get_term(54);
$tree = taxonomy_get_tree($root_term->vid, $root_term->tid);
$terms = array_map('_taxonomy_get_tid_from_term', $tree);
$terms[] = $root_term->tid;
// $terms now contains all descendant terms.
//print_r( $terms );
if ((arg(0) == 'node') && is_numeric(arg(1)))
{
$node = node_load(arg(1));
if (array_intersect(array_keys($node->taxonomy), $terms))
return TRUE;
}
if ( (arg(0) == 'taxonomy') && (arg(1) == 'term') && in_array(arg(2), $terms) )
{
return TRUE;
}
return FALSE;
?>
ಪರಿಚಯ
ಸ್ವ್ನಾನ್ವೇಷನೆಯ ಪಯಣ ಸಾಕಷ್ಟು ದೂರ ಸಾಗಬೇಕಿದೆ. ಸ್ವಪ್ರಶಂಸಾಪೂರಿತ ಪರಿಚಯ ಓದಲು ಕುತೂಹಲವಿದ್ದಲ್ಲಿ ಪರಿಚಯ ಪುಟ ನೋಡಿ.
