The Story of Civilization , an amazingly interesting and well written history book

Blog
Posted on Saturday 27 February 2010

I've been thinking about reading this book for several month and finallymade up my mind and decided to give it a try. But why? in my opinion for having a better understand of human bings, and also having a better vision for predicting the future and making the right decision in critical events, it's important to have a good understanding of ourselfves. And it's only possible through history. Some may say that history is all lies. That's true becaus history is usually written by the winners! but there is something which makes this lies specially the ancient ones obsoulue.

Upgrading Drupal 5 to Drupal 6, Part 1

Blog

Posted on Friday 19 February 2010

I think it's a perfect time and perhaps the last change to start planning for safely upgrading our good old Drupal 5 websites to Drupal 6 (If any remained), Drupal 5 will be deprecated as soon  Drupal 7 final comes out. Some module maintainers already removed Drupal 5 releases from their projects which is a trouble for website running Drupal 5.

It might sound strange at first but i must say that it's very useful specially if you have shell scripts as part of your application. Usually For making this scripts as automated as possible there should be a way to reuse the application's configurations (ips, passwords , etc) and not having to update a separate configuration file whenever anything changes in the application. It's not limited only to this and can be used to pass any kind of variables.

Once after i finished talking to a colleage of mine over the phone while my wife was sitting besides me, she told that i didn't understand a word you said, what were you talking about (considering the fact that i useually describe to her what i do and she's a little bit familiar with what i do)?!

And i realized that sometimes more than half of the words i use when i'm talking technical are expressions and abastracted , multipli meaning words like bash, SEO, terminal, BT, PHP, RTBC, etc.

I think i can all it a different language!!

Mail Logger, Drupal's most have module for all websites

Blog
Drupal
Posted on Sunday 17 January 2010

Unfortunately there is no way to know that the email has been correctly delivered right after sending it. Therefore when someone send a message using Drupal's Contact form or any other modules, he may receive a "Successful message" but the site owner may never receive that message due to the wrong email address , network failure , mail server problem or blocking by spam protector.
This might cause some misunderstanding , loosing a great job opportunity or etc.
