What’s Wrong With Indonesian SDA-Asia Magazine?

Thursday, February 22nd, 2007

I’m a reader of Indonesian version of SDA Asia magazine. It’s a good magazine for programmer like me. They don’t only give technical stuffs such as programming tutorial but also give enterprise solution and how to implement a techology in bussines. And that’s what I want, since programming tutorial is an easy thing to search in internet.

But I’ve noticed that this magazine is not available yet since the beginning of this year. The latest edition I saw in store is volume 19, December 2006! What went wrong? They don’t even give any announcement in volume 19.

It’s almost end of February and so strange for a magazine to be unavailable within two months. Yeah, I can only wait. Let’s see if the magazine will be available next March.

Cheatting Country Restriction Download Limits in Rapidshare, Sendspace etc.

Tuesday, February 13th, 2007

Oftenly, when we download files from Rapidshare, SendSpace or other file storage server, we got error message saying that our IP is currently downloading the file or our country’s slots are already full.

Then what should we do? Waiting for few minutes or hours? Even it’s a reasonable thing to do, but we can do something better than just waiting ^_*

Open your web browser and point to Google Translator or Babelfish and copy paste the Rapidshare’s URL into the URL box available on Google Translator or Babelfish. Choose any language then press OK, Translate or whatever it says.

Now the page will be opened (maybe in another language) and (hopefuly) the download link/button will appear. If this method isn’t working, grab a book and read it for few hours then retry this method :p

Increasing File Upload Limit Using .htaccess

Tuesday, February 6th, 2007

As PHP limits maximal file upload into 2 (two) megabytes, sometimes we need to increase the value to upload bigger files.

Editing php.ini is the easiest way, but it is impossible when our scripts are in a shared hosting. The only few choice is by using .htaccess file. It will rewrite php.ini’s configuration.

I’ve tried this method and worked as I expected: Here’s the .htaccess content:

RewriteEngine On
php_value upload_max_filesize 30M

Last words, there’s manything we can do using .htaccess to overide server’s default configuration ^_*

 

Komodo Edit - Free The Dragon!

Sunday, February 4th, 2007

Komodo is the best programmer’s text editor I’ve ever seen. It’s the award-winning editing for dynamic languages including Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby and Tcl; plus support for browser-side code including JavaScript, CSS, HTML and XML..

Can’t say how happy I am when I found there’s a free version of The Dragon. Well, I think it won’t be as complete as the Komodo IDE, but it has the soul of it.

I’ve tried the 21 days trial version of Komodo IDE and fall in love with it, and hoping there’s the free version of it. So far I’m waiting, and just like a Bob Marley’s song, I don’t wanna waiting in vain..

So let’s grab a copy of it, both Linux or Windows users, get it here: http://www.activestate.com/products/komodo_edit/.
