Apache htaccess : Redirect Old URLs to new URLs after Rewrite URLs have been applied

Thu, 03/19/2009 - 16:16 -- alif

.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).

jFile Chopper: A File Chopper Program using Java

Sat, 11/22/2008 - 13:48 -- alif

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.

So, its official !!!

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. I had a free-lance project which was due last Tuesday (yes, I have already missed the deadline).. and the deadline of a big project for my company is also due end of this week.

PHP Shipping Modules (Canada Post)

Fri, 09/26/2008 - 09:43 -- alif

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)

My First Day with Drupal

Mon, 08/18/2008 - 23:03 -- alif

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.
