New! Google Chrome now has extensions and bookmark sync.

February 2nd, 2010

WoW! Google Chrome now has <a href=”https://chrome.google.com/extensions?hl=en-US”>extensions</a> and bookmark sync. New area for developers to play.

Just tried a few recent/popular extensions. They are superb. The Evernote Web Clipper, Dictionary, FireBug and Calendar extensions are worth trying…That’s not all, you can now sync your Bookmarks with Google Docs!!

Here is an example to allow File Uploads upto 2 GB. You may also have to consider Max Execution Time.

php_value upload_max_filesize 2G

php_value post_max_size 2G

</IfModule>

PHP5:


<IfModule mod_php5.c>

php_value upload_max_filesize 2G

php_value post_max_size 2G

</IfModule>

Tip: Searching for Unread e-mail in GMail

November 23rd, 2009

Finally, figured out how to find those hiding unread messages in my GMail Inbox or other folders. aah! A quick relief. Always hated going down the pages and finding the mails in some 20th or 40th page.

You can just use “is:unread in:inbox” to search all unread mails in the Inbox. Without quotes though!

HTML to PDF from PHP Made Easy!

May 4th, 2009

Finally, found two new Libraries that makes a PHP programmer’s life easy. Tested both and they seem to work pretty fine for simple requirements like PDF receipt generation or news letter download or e-Ticket/e-Cert generation.

FPDF (PHP4 and PHP5)
dompdf (PHP5 Only)

Happy PDFing!!

WorldPay Error: Cannot find an available route for the purchase. This may be caused by merchant configuration or remote systems failures.

You ever got this error on your WorldPay Installation?

Cannot find an available route for the purchase. This may be caused by merchant configuration or remote systems failures

Then, you might be trying to charge something really less than 1.0 USD/EUR/GBP! Yes, that’s what I was doing too! None of the forums had an answer and had to spend 48 hours to find out reason and get it to work. Dear Google: Index this fast! :)

Thanks to new generation Browsers, JS, Flex…

In the past three weeks, I had a hard time figuring out two things: 1) An efficient way of Parsing large CSV strings and 2) Creating a HTML E-mail that looks nice and similar in major mail clients. I really had hard time finding the right stuff on the net. It seemed to me that, many of the search results that popped up were forums that were no longer active. This is when I thought of starting a blog to log all that I learn from the internet. Wait for more posts here…
