I should tell you that you shouldn't spend time reinventing the wheel just to prove that you got some skills. Wordpress is an awesome software that I use for Blogging. Not only it is self efficient but extensions like themes and plugins make it really strong platform for yourself. I wrote only 2 plugins up until now just because the requirements were very unique. So now you know what software to pick Next for me was to choose hosting. A cheap and reliable hosting. I am using knownhost (aff link) now but I started with Hostgator Point was that I never wanted to invest too much upfront that it would become liability. So cheap and best was my option. So now your hosting is all set. You should be looking to customize your Wordpress the way you want to run it. You should be looking to create a good navigation menu. Sitemap, Privacy policy (A must), About us page. You have to be sure what … [Read more...]
Hiding time from other contacts in Skype
Hi Guys, A friend of mine asked me this question, so I thought I should write about it. I asked him why he don't want to show his timezone to others, He just replied with 2 reason He don't want some anonymous one to know that he is working off late. He said he already changed his location to something else. (hmm.. fishy stuff :)) Second reason he gave me was that of sheer privacy. Oh well! I couldn't understand what he meant there Anyways here is how you hide you time that appears besides you photo when you chat with someone. Advertisement Click on your Name from Top left corner of Skype window and then click on Profile tab on the right as shown below You can also Goto Skype menu > Profile >Edit your profile to bring up the same window on the right Ok now Scroll down where it says Time As shown below Now click on Where it says Contacts only and set it to "Private - Visible only to you" as shown below Ta! Da! You're done! No one can see you computer time now. You can also bluff someone by changing the timezone by clicking My Computers's and then selecting a different timezone to your current one. That will send different time to your contacts :) This is when you want to hide yourself from you wife when you said you are going to Adelaide for a meeting but you went to Perth :) but of course you ticket will say it all when she demands it. I hope this tip helps. Don't forget to +1 if it did. Cheers, … [Read more...]
ExtJS 4 Tabs in Window Example
Hi Guys, I am going to show you a really basic example of Ext JS 4 Window that contains tabs. I had no clue how to do it so Sencha's documentation comes in handy. Now I am an intermediate level user of ExtJS and of course the code I am going to show you can be improved (perhaps) ExtJS 4 is a great Javascript Framework. The more you use it, more you fall in love with it. Ok so enough chit chat. The final result of the code I am gonna show looks like this So as you see we have a link called Open Window and When you click on it you will get a window with tabs. Ok so here is the code to produce above. Don't forget to change paths to Ext Library because the ones that I used are relevant paths on my server. You will have proper control over each Tab. What I mean to say is that you can make one tab fetch data off server using Ajax, other closable, other disabled etc. etc. For those granular options its better you read this http://docs.sencha.com/ext-js/4-1/#!/api/Ext.tab.Tab I hope I provided you with the starting point. Its really that simple. If you have any question please let me know. I'll try to help or someone else will if they know the answer. Cheers, … [Read more...]

Google Drive vs Dropbox vs Box vs SkyDrive
So so the competition is growing in terms of Cloud storage and that is really good for the consumers looking for awesome deals. In this post I highlight some key comparable features for Google Drive, Dropbox, Box and SkyDrive Ok so at time of writing here are some comparison by me Service Free storage Web Droid Win Phone Black berry iOS Linux Mac Windows Cost for 25GB Cost for 50GB Google Drive 5GB Yes Yes X X Yes X Yes Yes $2.49 $4.99 (100GB) Dropbox 2GB Upto 18 Gb Free with referrals Yes Yes X Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Only comes 50G+ $9.99 Box 5GB Yes Yes X Yes Yes X Yes Yes $9.99 $19.99 Microsoft SkyDrive 7GB Yes X Yes X Yes X Yes Yes $0.83 (27GB) $2.08 (52GB) Advertisement Now For me Dropbox is a clear leader. Why? One of the main reason behind me saying that it supports nearly everything except Windows Phone. I am sure guys are working hard on this. Google and Skydrive on the other hand has just started and have long way to go. With big brand name and trust behind them, I guess they will soon catchup with Dropbox. I am not considering to tell you about Apple iCound because it is so tightly integrated with iOS and is not true Drive solution. Box amongst all is really expensive. But I guess its not for guys like myself may be IBM perhaps could be using them. Dropbox is an excellent service and to start with they give you 2GB free but thats not it. Stay with them and refer your friends and they will give upto 18GB for FREE depending how many referrals (500MB/referral) you can give them. Google Drive has reserved Ad display rights in Drive. Google says it reserve rights to display ads with their Drive solution. Fair enough. Nothing is for FREE after all. Best thing though is that you can increase your storage to 16TB. Wow! that's huge. At the moment Google drive is more of an extension to its Google … [Read more...]
Skype Where are IMs stored
Hi Guys, So this was a question that was asked by my friend to me. I won't bore you with writing long post but lets stick to the point. Depending you your operation system the path below will change Advertisement On Windows 7 which I am using they are stored in C:\Users\[Current Windows Login Name]\AppData\Roaming\Skype\[Your Skype Name]\ Under the above directory you will find a file called main.db. That's were they are store. Now this files is sort of encrypted, there are few applications that can read this file for you. I've listed a few at the end of my post. On Windows Vista and Windows XP the file path will be C:\Documents and Settings\[Current Windows Login Name]\Application Data\Skype\[Your Skype Name]\ Ok so another question that I may be able to answer is that Like Yahoo, Skype won't store messages on their servers. The only thing that they store is your Contact List. That data is really important to them as its important to you. I hope this helps. Don't forget to +1 this post if this answer your question. Few softwares to decode your skype chat are listed below Google "skypr or even better kudos chat search for skype Cheers, … [Read more...]

No Follow vs Do Follow Links
Hi Guys, I am using WordPress and in WordPress all external bound links are by default "No Follow" mainly in the comments section. No Follow means that if Google or any other search engine comes to crawl your site then it should crawl your site only rather than follow the outgoing link. In other words we are telling Search Engines that Please do not follow the links. Why do you need No Follow? As far as my understanding goes it lowers your our website Authority. In other words we are telling Search Engine that if you are hungry then please go next door as I don't have enough food for you. Another know fact is that having No Follow does not really hurt as much but it bring less interest from user to post comments etc. on you site. Mainly No follow is for bots only. Now the big question: how to make a link No Follow and Do Follow? Ok so lets see You normal link look like this By default it is Do Follow link To tell the search engine bots or so called spiders to NOT crawl a link or in other word NOT to follow a link, you need to add the following attribute to the HTML hyperlink code above: rel="nofollow" A link example will be The above link will not be followed by search engines any more Now I am not into business of link building because I only find some time to write my articles and I work full time too so no time to go search Blog to put my junk up there :) But a Tip from me: When you are trying to host a link on another site, watch out if they use No Follow with their external link. From my understanding if its No Follow then weight of that link is relatively reduced but its just a link and humans will click it if they like it. This post is really useful to read http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2005/01/preventing-comment-spam.html I hope that this article will help you understand the login behind No Follow and Do Follow links Cheers, … [Read more...]
