.htaccess (Hypertext Access) files is a configuration file on Apache web server. It allows users to do many powerful features just by writing few lines.
Since this is a topic which has been widely blogged, I decided to write a topic which is hard to find, and followed by links to other blogger's site (which explains htaccess extensively).
Graphing Calculator in Turbo C (MS DOS)
This is a Graphing Calculator I made many years ago (I think back in 2003). It was the first time I got introduced to programming in Turbo C.
Since I started using jQuery (~10 months ago), I have been mostly using jQuery's $.ajax function for form submission as it provides an easy way to post form values and retreive JSON format easily. But, when using Javascript, there's always the question of 'graceful degradation'.
Web security are an important and essential feature of any Web Application. Recently, I have been working on implementing Web Security and decided to write an article on how to secure web applications from the following attacks:
1. SQL Injection
2. Cross Site Scripting (XSS)
3. Cross Site Request Forgery (XSRF)
jFile Chopper: A File Chopper Program using Java
This is a program i created back in 2005, during my initial years on Java. Its a simple program that allows you to chop any files, into smaller segments. You can specify the number of segments you wish to chop into. For example, if you have a 50mb file, you can split it into 5 different files, with each being 10 mb in size. You can then again use the program to merge the files into a large files.

I was severly affected by a FLU Virus. I have been completely in bed for the last 4-5 days, with a constant fever of 103-104 F'... :(.. It was a very hard time for me.. But, finally I am back on my feet, but, I have a lot of responsibilities on my shoulder.

Over the last month I have been working on an e-commerce store for our company. One thing I did realize that most of the shipping modules out there are quite complex to use. So, I decided to create a simple Canada Post PHP Class.
Canada Post's specification requires parsing of XML files to retrieve values, hence I have used PHP-5's new features like DomDocument, DomXPath and stream functions which will only work with PHP-5 (you would need additional libraries to run it in PHP-4)
Over the past 6 months, I have been working with Joomla extensively. I have developed custom Joomla Templates from scratch, built several Joomla Modules. I have worked mainly with Joomla 1.x. But, lately, I have come to realize several things in Joomla that could be done in a better way and hence I decided to look for other CMS. Since April 2008, I have been the developer of Major League Gaming Canada - built in Joomla 1.0.
