Legendry legspiner Mushtaq Ahmed

Wed, 25 Jun 2008 04:14:13 GMT

today while surfing on cricinfo i cam across a very good article regarding Legspinner Mushtaq Ahmed. i have read that article twice and i really liked it because he is a sensible man and Andrew (writer) has done a really good job in explaining about Mustaq also known as Mushy.

for details you can see that at http://content-pak.cricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/350008.html

HEC National Digital Library

Wed, 18 Jun 2008 08:26:54 GMT

Today, i was just going through my links and i saw that HEC Pakistan National Digital Library, i visited the site again.... well! things have moved ahead.

Site performance is better now but awkward use of Flash with average theme... i would give the design just 3/10.

Data is not accessiable so i can't comment on that as its a Institute based library.

Honey Pot Captcha Technique

Thu, 29 Nov 2007 12:00:59 GMT

while surfing along my RSS feeds today i read the Honey Pot Captcha Technique its so simple and easy.

First, what is a Captcha? It is a challenge - response test to help determine that you are actually a human. You've undoubted already came across a few of these during a sign up process of some text with a grid or a line through it asking what it says.

Haack came to the conclusion that most bots don't do two things, parse CSS and execute JavaScript. Haack's solution adds in a field in a hidden div tag that a spam bot would fill then checks it server side during the validation of the submission. He even wrote a validation control which is on CodePlex.

Words May Fail By Ovais Akhter

Wed, 28 Nov 2007 07:23:40 GMT

yesterday our Architect shared his poem "Words May Fail(a poem about the US invation of Iraq)", I think he has beautifully played with words while expressing his feelings .

"Copied from his Blog"

Flood of Tears, in the mist of fears

Helpless fathers

Dying sons and screaming daughters

Killed for oil or killed for fun

On their own soil under the burning sun

The power of my expression can not tell the tale

The emotions are such that words may fail

Lightbox for ASP.NET 2.0

Sat, 08 Sep 2007 10:41:22 GMT

Quote

Light box with ASP.NET 2.0

I've just finished creating an ASP.NET assembly for enabling Lightbox functionality on ASP.NET 2.0 based web image gallery. The idea for the control was born out a similar control - Lightbox.NET. However this control does not seem to be under development currently and the latest version gives a bunch of problems when running under medium trust websites. This control implements the functionality in a completely different way than Lightbox.NET. Also this control has a highly modified version of Lightbox scripts that allow better keyboard navigation, ability to download high-res version of displayed image and other small fixes.
The assembly contains two custom controls - LightBoxScriptManager and LightBoxHyperlink.
The LightBoxScriptManager control embeds the CSS and JavaScript files that make up the Lightbox functionality into the page that needs to use it as HTML markup. You can customize the location of the CSS, JavaScript and images for Lightbox using the properties of this control. The LightBoxHyperlink control needs to be used for each image on which you want the popup effect. You can set the name of the album, the caption, the thumbnail image as well as the full web sized image. Upon clicking the thumbnail, the Lightbox effect will run and you can then navigate within the popup.
The complete source as well as samples for this is available for free from here. This has been released under a fully permissive license, so feel free to use it wherever you wish and make whatever modifications you want. It would be nice if you can mention us, though.
To use the assembly, simply follow the instructions below:
Copy the EITLightbox.dll from the Sample website's Bin/ folder to your website's Bin/ folder
Also copy the entire "Lightboxnet" folder from the sample site to your website
Open the ASPX page in which you wish to add the functionality. Switch to Source mode.
At the top of the page, just below the @Page directive, add the following line:
<%@ Register Assembly="EITLightbox" Namespace="EIT.ASPNET.Controls.LightBox" TagPrefix="eit" %>
Just below the <form> start on the page, add the following control markup. Make sure that the paths in the CSSPath, ImagesPath and ScriptsPath properties are correct
<eit:LightBoxScriptManager ID="lbsm" runat="server"       CSSPath="lightboxnet/css"       ImagesPath="lightboxnet/images"       ScriptsPath="lightboxnet/js" />  
In the place where you wish to add the image gallery add the following control markup for each image:
<eit:LightBoxHyperlink ID="lb1" runat="server"       Album="My Album Name"       Caption="Picture Caption #1"       FullImageUrl="Images/WebSized/img1.jpg"       ThumbnailUrl="Images/Thumbnail/img1.jpg" />
Save and run the form.
Here are some sample screenshots of it running

Two galleries and usage tips

The "popup" window. Note the caption, the album image count and the navigation links.
You can navigate using the keyboard or mouse and exit the popup at any time.
Let me know what you think. BTW, this component is what powers my image gallery over at www.vinodunny.com.

There are occasions when words, or anything else, are not enough. This is one of those occasions.

I have no words for all this all what has happed today was a great loss for Cricket, it looks to me that a very dear one of mine has departed.

I just can say Osman Samiuddin has expressed it all.

No matter now, for what has gone previously, what he did as player or coach, whatever has happened, all of it is irrelevant at this moment. In time, after sorrow and regret, it will become clear that he had done enough with Pakistan, with South Africa, with Warwickshire, with the ICC and with the game to be remembered as an innovative, successful coach and not for a last-game defeat to Ireland. My last interaction with him was through e-mail. He wished me a speedy recovery from illness. God bless your soul Bob.

Good poetry read at some place

سہما سہما ڈرا ڈرا سا رہتا ہے

جانے کيوں جی بھرا سا رہتا ہے

ايک پل ديکھ لوں تو اٹھتا ہوں

جل گيا سب ذرا سا رہتا ہے

مرے چارہ گر کو نوید ہو صف دشمناں کو خبر کرو

جو وہ قرض رکھتے تھے جان پر وہ حساب آج چکا دیا

کرو کج جبیں پہ سر کفن مرے قاتلوں کو گماں نہ ہو

کہ غرور عشق کی بانکپن پس مرگ ہم نے بھلا دیا

جو رکے تو کوہ گراں تھے ہم جو چلے تو جاں سے گزر گئے

رہِ یار ہم نے قدم قدم تجھے یادگار بنا دیا
