Wow! GilChrist. See how he flies in air.
I don’t follow up much with cricket. But I love to look at highlights of some selected matches. Today morning I was just looking through some old pictures posted at Sampada and this picture caught my attention. Find the original post here.

Share ThisI couldn’t belive that I never tried Moodle before. I might have installed it before but never used this wonderful OpenSource educational tool.
I explored this tool couple of weeks back as there was a need for me to automate an aptitude test for our hiring process. It made our job so easier and even we could cut down the number of people used to get involved with the complete recruitment process.
“Social constructionist pedagogy” philosophy of Moodle has been helping educators create effective online learning communities. Its easy, simple, bundled with many modules, and moreover its scalable. You can even Implement it anywhere.
Tools which help us to improve our process efficiency are out there in Free and Open Source world. Educational institutes and Online learning communities could make use of these tool to create a better and smart learning systems for our young generation who are getting used to internet in this 21st century.

Share ThisIts really hard to compiling php on plesk servers, that too for newbies. I have been searching for PHP 4.4.7 source rpm or ready solution or a script so that I can quickly give it to my team to resolve such requests coming from our customers.
By chance I found it on Hans Rackers DazeWorld blog space.This php-4.4.7 source rpm is found to be magic.
Remove all the existing php rpms which are on your box. Don’t worry you just have to take the backup of /etc/php.ini. Ignore all dependencies no worries.
Once you’re done with it, download and build the source rpm as follows.
rpmbuild –rebuild php-4.4.7-1.hrak.src.rpm
This will compile php for your box and build the rpms required. You will find all the rpms required for your system in /usr/src/redhati386 folder.
Go ahead and install them all 
rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/i386/php-*.rpm
restart apache and psa from /etc/init.d . Your plesk box will have latest PHP 4.4.7
Share ThisPizza-hut was one of my favorite place for pizza’s. But today I got to think twice before entering into pizza huts. I ended up tasting rotten O’ Tomato and Grill O’ Delight to finish with my Weekend. I didn’t regret going to pizza hut last December and did enjoy the time spent with my bunch of collegues and even celebrated a birth day.But this time it was yak!. And nothing was a Delight at all at Pizza hut for the first time.
Once in a month or two I get chance to go out and have some food at good restaurant’s or pizza huts or at least spend some time in a coffee bar. Wish I had two week off’s like all other techies out there in the IT world. I would have also found a girl to date with ;).
It used to be a great fun and my tummy used to feel enlightened almost ever weekend till last year as I used to spend my Sunday afternoons with Bala sir in a nice restaurant.
These days bad traffic and the quality of restaurants force us find alternatives and we even end up paying hell a lot of money. We also end up wasting lots of our free time during the weekends (If at all we get some free time). No peace any where.
Hopefully I will have a better week ahead of me at work.
