Posted on April 6, 2012 by technofreak

Yesterday, I was editing code for a php application I made earlier  and boom. A BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) Error. After booting my computer, I discovered that the file I was editing (in Dreamweaver, on Windows 7) no longer had the code in it. Some glitch in dreamweaver converted each character of my code to null character and destroyed it. No file recovery utility could help me because of this overwrite. And here is what I did then.

Hook System with PHP

Posted on March 27, 2012 by technofreak

I was recently coding a web-application base in PHP and it occurred to me that including a hooking system won’t be a bad idea. I like the way hooks are used in wordpress for almost every task. Implementing a hook system makes the application more flexible and modular, all with a small bit of code. Continue reading “Hook System with PHP” »

Posted on March 26, 2012 by technofreak

Did you recently upgrade to a new gear and bought a new handset? I’m sure you’re having the old stone-age (as you might call it now ;) ) mobile lying around. Then rather than letting it destroy itself or throwing it off the window, why not act smart, help the environment and sell it away, all in a hassle-free process?

Posted on February 25, 2012 by technofreak

Recently, the search engine Bing has integrated the account information of Facebook users into it’s search to create a search experience that is quite unique on the Internet today. While Bing has lagged behind the big boy Google since its launch, the link with social media boss could certainly help it rank the way it wants. True pioneers in the concept of social research, Bing shows the Facebook ”likes”  on the users’ own social circle as the web search results. Although there is much debate as to whether this approach really makes a search engine stronger and more reliable, the real reason is a matter of preference and philosophy.
