Nov 20, 2008 Fun, Technology
I was looking at the IBM campaign called “Stop talking and Start doing” found it really interesting, planning to put that i practice, lets see if i can avoid talking more and start “coding”.
It talks about how enterprises can overcome problems with innovation implementation overcoming issues with existing processes.

Configure HTML Files to be parsed as PHP file in Apache
Nov 13, 2008 Technology
This has been one of the most frequently asked questions that php developers ask me, about how to configure Apache to serve files with .html extenstion as php files and let php to parse those files before they are sent to the client.
Solution
The solution is very simple, all you have to do is to add a “AddType” directive either in your .htaccess or httpd.conf of your Apache
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
Save and restart your apache(if you did the changes in httpd.conf ) and your are done !
Now you will eb able to parse .html files as php files.

Tortoise SVN in Linux? Ubuntu alternatives here..
Nov 12, 2008 Technology
I have spent almost 2 months now trying to find a good alternative for Tortoise SVN in my ubuntu, i have been using Tortoise SVN for a while now, i got very used to the interface now, now i am not able to code without it. I have got so obsessed with it, and well svn cli is good, but its not there near Tortoise SVN.
This morning i can across this blog about how to implement scripts in nautilus that allows users to replicate TortoiseSVN like functionality in ubuntu.
KDESVN connected to nautilus script
KDESVN is a Visual SVN Client tool that can be installed in Ubuntu. Try this command to install it
>> sudo apt-get install subversion kdesvn kompare
After Installation, you will have to configure the rightclick menu scripts here
>> ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts
create a file called “kdesvn.sh” with the following contents
>> #!/bin/sh
>> kdesvn $1
assign execute rights to that file
>> chmod +x kdesvn.sh
Now open the file browser, you will be able to see KDESVN in the scripts context menu. To activate the SVN client, select some folder in local repository, and try the menu. It will popup the KDESVN interface.

Solved the Rubik’s Cube
Aug 23, 2008 Fun, General, Technology
After a half’s days effort today, i have been successful in solving the Rubik’s puzzle. It is really not that hard to solve the puzzle, although it looks like it is. just that you will need to have a step b step approach and use some simple algorithms to have the output. you will also need loads and loads of patience to get it done.
Steps
Step #1 : getting the first row right.
I have no clue of what algorithm to use here. i did it on my own so it should be simple.
Finnish off one side right and place it in the bottom so the completed side faces the bottom. Now we will do completion towards up.
Step #2 : getting the second row right.
Two algorithms here, left one and the right one
Left one: Ui Li U L U F Ui Fi
Right one: U R Ui Ri Ui Fi U F
Step #3: Now you should have completed the bottom 2 layers
Creating a cross on top, either from a center piece, or from a L or from a line
===> F R U Ri Ui Fi
L should face towards North West
Step #4: Aligning the cross Elements to relevant center pieces
When you complete the cross which has ‘four center pieces’, at least two of them will be aligned to the center pieces of the the four sides, if the aligned pieces are adjacent to each other place one aligned side on your opposite and one on right and do this algorithm, if they are opposite to each other try this algorithm to get adjacent pieces and then repeat the step as detailed.
===> R U Ri U R U U Ri
Step #5: Aligning the aligning edge elements to their positions
===> U R Ui Li U Ri Ui L
up , away from you (r) , up inverted , away from you (l), up , towards you (r) , up inverted , towards you (l),
Step #6: Super rotation
===> Ri Di R D
Note: nothing will go wrong in step 6,don’t be afraid, if you repeat step 6 – 6 times, the cube will come back to its original position. also when you align one corner piece on the topside, rotate the topside anticlockwise to get a new corner to be aligned, don’t rotate the whole cube when you align one corner price in step 6
After a few attempts you are done. See the completed version of my cube here.

the Zilla ! vs Business User
Jul 20, 2008 Fun, General, Technology
“The Zilla” has become my new nickname in office (with all credits to Collen for this amazing initiative) after I have started with bugzilla project to manage development activity at Chennai office. And the same guy says that I talk in C++ when he talks to me in English. I was wondering what makes me/us different from others, I think i have spend more time learning business process engineering, on-demand businesses, web design and marketing then with learning PHP or AJAX. So I thought of comparing the software that we use everyday to see if I can find any key differences in the way we work
An assumed list of tools that a business guy will use
Technologies/Concepts that they work with everyday
|
List of tools that I use everyday
Technologies/Concepts that I work with everyday
|
From the above comparision (length of the list)we infer that they are obviously doing lesser work then developers (he.. he.. i know i m gonna get kicked when collen sees this). They have fancy names for thier software, the only well known name in the list of my tools is firefox. But I never managed to understand what EFQM means???
