Anunay’s Chat

I am introducing a new feature in my website called ‘Anunay’s Chat‘ where the visitors can chat with me whenever I am available online. This feature is a crude AJAX and JQuery based chat interface. It saves the chat logs as a (X)HTML file that can be deleted. It runs on PHP and does not require MySQL to function.

chat

The styling of the chat interface is done by CSS. The files needed for the system are very compact and it fits into about 7 KB. The source is attached at the bottom of the article. (I love Open Source.)

Using Permalinks in Wordpress (The coolest way!)

Today, I will show you how to use the ‘Permalinks’ feature in Wordpress. ‘Permalinks’ stand for Permanent Links to your posts. This feature can well be configured using the Permalinks Settings Option. It can be used to create a new URL structure, minimal or fancy looking or maybe a whacky word can be formed in the URL itself.

permalink

Permalinks are the permanent URLs to your individual weblog posts, as well as categories and other lists of weblog postings. A permalink is what another weblogger will use to link to your article (or section), or how you might send a link to your story in an e-mail message. The URL to each post should be permanent, and never change — hence permalink.

To configure the Permalinks goto the Permalink Box under the Settings tab. Go through. You will encounter a page displaying various permalink types including the default one for you to choose.

%year%
The year of the post, four digits, for example 2004
%monthnum%
Month of the year, for example 05
%day%
Day of the month, for example 28
%hour%
Hour of the day, for example 15
%minute%
Minute of the hour, for example 43
%second%
Second of the minute, for example 33
%postname%
A sanitized version of the title of the post.
%post_id%
The unique ID # of the post, for example 423
%category%
A sanitized version of the category name.
%tag%
A sanitized version of the tag name.
%author%
A sanitized version of the author name.

You can use the above mentioned snippets to create your own Permalinks. You may even try cool ones like,

  • /its%post_id%/ >> will give you something like >> http://domain.tld/its123/
  • /shownumber%post_id%/ >> will give you something like >> http://domain.tld/shownumber123/
  • /this/is/number/%post_id%/ >> will give you something like >> http://domain.tld/this/is/number/123

You can also create many cool and trendy custom Permalinks as you like.

Do Not Forget to post your cool and wacky Permalink as a comment. (Claim Bragging Rights!)

Ordinatrix 9.0 – The Biggest Shame to Digital Creavity

Ordinatrix 9.0 @ Tagore International School, Vasant Vihar was the biggest and the lamest creativity based computer symposium ever held.

Ordinatrix

Originally posted by Sopandev Tiwari @ his blog.

Ordinatrix Ordin@trix 2009 was a Disgrace. As u all may be knowing, it was a so called Creative IT Symposium held today, 22.7.09 at Tagore Intl School, Vasant Vihar.

Let me start with the inaugral ceremony,

A. They started off half-an-hour late :|

B. Their Intro Video was shit :|

C. They have this so-called speech gal, who is an over-excited despo. I mean, she starts dancing every now and then, and there’s no end to her over-excitement. Her speech was shit. BTW, shes been giving that speech for 2 years now.

Now, their events :

A. Animatrix :

Schools had turned up with animations made using pictures and characters obtained frm the web. Being frank, ours was the onli animation which was made from scratch. And the so called judges, said that they were focusing on originality. Oh really, then it is just impossible to understand how Delhi Public School, RK Puram turned up 1st, as their anim. was copied from here and there. Hey, No Offence to DPS RKP! I respect them for everything they do, but i just have a humble feeling that they did  not deserve 1st today.

B. Movieatrix :

Again, majority of the schools had videos copied from various sources, youtube etc etc, and we, in loving memory of our brother Akul Sareen, had paid a tribute to him in the form of a video for ordinatrix that was unmatchable. I m not saying it was the best, but it was surely one of the best. Damn, So much effort we had put into that video. May your soul R.I.P. Akul. These TIS VV People dont have any respect for a guy who’s expired.

C. Codeatrix, Turtleatrix, Palleteatrix :

I really cant say nything about these events, bcoz i havent watched these myself. Anyway, our skul had won the 3rd prize in each of the events. So i have nothing to say about these.

Now, Some things that i really fail to understand :

1. How do TIS VV and TIS EOK win a prize in each event every year? These TIS people dont even have the dignity for not taking the trophies and certificates for their positions. I mean, u can participate, but u cant take the trophies for urself. Thats just not good.

2.I think other schools start underperforing every year at Ordinatrix (read sarcasm). Probably it would not have been so if the TIS schools wont have taken all the trophies on their own.

3. What problem do these TIS people have if people are toking on their mobiles or for that matter, even toking to each other in the audi?

Every two minutes, a person came to us to tell us : “Please Keep Quiet”. I got so irritated.

I was indeed disappointed when to much of our sorrow, all the hard work did not pay off. I just think that the judges did not even have the foggiest notion of who Lionel Messi is or what on Earth FC Barcelona is.

And, how the hell can you give away prizes to the entries directly downloaded from Youtube et al when you boast of an entirely creative event with the judge yelling about ‘Origanality’ !

This is what we made : (I and Sopan. From scratch), Just Adobe Flash CS3 and Pivot Stickfigure Animator.

Shame.

Wibiya : Blog Toolbar

Wibiya is a website application offering custom user built web toolbars for putting up on websites and blogs. It enhances the beauty and design of the blog and can also be used just for the sake of easing out the reader’s experience on the blog.

Wibiya enables blogs to integrate the most exciting services, applications and widgets of their choice into their blog through customized web-based toolbars.
Our platform offers a one-stop solution for integrating, managing and tracking third-party applications.

Wibiya

But, as every rose has thorns. Wibiya too has both pros and cons. The first setback being that Wibiya does not allow direct user registration. You have to firstly apply for a invite to its private Beta mode. Done that, after sometime, it automatically mails you with an invite.

Another setback with Wibiya is that it comes as a plugin for Wordpress, which has to be uploaded, activated and then works. This is not the problem. The actual problem is that the plugin queries the Wibiya’s website for displaying the toolbar on the client’s browser which takes some what longer than it would have taken on the blog’s server itself. Pondering over this. It struck to me that even this has an advantage. It helps to save on valuable bandwidth which is helpful in cases with limited bandwidth web hosts.

Sweetcron : Open Source Lifestream

sweetcron

Sweetcron is an open source lifestreaming blog software created by Jon “Yongfook” Cockle based on the CodeIgniter framework. It is similar to other web applications such as Tumblr and Friendfeed, but users are able to host their own lifestream on their own server and customize it in any way they want.

Sweetcron is a free and self hosted alternative to services like Friendfeed and Lifestream.fm

Sweetcron runs on PHP and it also needs a MySQL Database to function. It is very customizable and easy to administer. You can add your various feed URLs for it to import and publish.

I just installed Sweetcron to display my own lifestream and heavily customized it. Check it out by clicking on the Demo link below.

This is a random video about Sweetcron from Youtube.
