Desktop_.ini Ruins my day

July 16th, 2007 by Fahd

My system started malfunctioning again 3 or 4 days ago and what I discovered was my folder packed up with Desktop_.ini. Even after reinstalling a fresh copy of windows after uninstalling the old one even formatting my windows drive didn’t solve the issue. I am still trying to solve the issue and can’t do. Here seems to be a good discussion about Desktop_.ini issue.

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070226081955AAM4nav

This file i.e Desktop_.ini copies itself to every folder accessed. I am McAfee 10 Enterprise Edition but this virus, I believe has even cleaned up some registry values and I can’t even start Active Shield and My Firewall is also disabled. Tough Virus Ah!

July 12th, 2007 by Fahd

It makes me remember my friend Zain who loved this song. . I was surfing YouTube and I just entered this song and I wasn’t expecting it to be there, but to my surprise, it was there and plenty of videos there with the same description.Its a nice melancholy song by Lata Mangeshkar.

Film: Woh Kaun Thi? (1960)
Song: Lag Ja Gale
Actor: Manoj Kumar
Actres: Sadhana
This Song was played in the background to
some scenes in FANAA (2006)


Lag Ja Gale – Lata Mangeshkar – [Azgar Khan]

So I searched over the
You tube and here is my Search. Zain listened to the new version but I am posting the old one and new one both. New one is by Himani and its nice but offcource nobody can compare them.

Here we go..Check them both and I would like your comments.

The old original song video is here for your convenience

Convert a Photoshop .PSD file into HTML/XHTML with Valid CSS in a few seconds

June 25th, 2007 by Fahd

If you a web designer and working a lot on Photoshop then you would certainly like to learn “The know how” to code PSD into a CSS/Xhtml/html. In other words we are talking about splitting you webpage images into smaller pictures keeping their proportions intact. To say it even more ethically, your are converting images into JPEG, GIF, PNG etc, (which is easy) but learning the way of coding a PSD in CSS/html/Xhtml is something different.

The question we are going to answer with detailed explanation in this article is “Do you know how you can convert a PSD file into a valid CSS along with HTML/XHTML document?” It’s not that hard to convert the PSD file but it will really matter how well you code it to get more performance from your webpage. For example, if your webpage has more pictures it would take more time to load, but using the CSS code with either Xhtml/html format you can tweak it to load faster. Reading through a known book would help a lot learning in-depth concepts of Photoshop and web development using Photoshop. So let’s take a look at the instructions below which can help you understand and perform the coding.

Open Photoshop application before we proceed any further. Now from the Main Menu, click on the File Menu on the top of the window and select the Open option from list. This will allow you to pick an existing PSD file on your local computer. Once you have selected a PSD file, you should go back into File Menu and select the Edit in ImageReady option from the list. This will open the PSD document in ImageReady. To proceed further, you can select the Slice tool from the Tools palette which is located vertically either in right or left side of the Photoshop application. This tool will help us define the way you would like to divide your PSD documents, in other words, how to slice your document. For example, you can pick and slice the document to get the header, menu pictures etc properly.

Once the slicing is placed on the images in your PSD document you will find those areas starting to hide under Blue numerated lines and squares. This is the indication of a slice. Slices can be identified very easily as been placed appropriately into proportionate images. Never try to slice an image twice as this will only increase overhead. You are now left to define the output parameters through which you will get these slices converted into pictures along with the code that you need the most. (more…)

WP plugin: Get Author Profile

June 23rd, 2007 by Fahd

WP plugin: Get Author Profile

Get Author Profile is a pretty basic WordPress plugin that lets you manually access an author’s (i.e. user’s) profile. The main purpose is to let you provide author information outside The Loop, such as for a sidebar intro of the blog owner or to list contributors to your blog.

(Note to WordPress 1.2 users: This is now a WordPress 1.5+ plugin. See the July 9th update.)

When the get_author_profile() function is called with a specific numeric User ID, you can make use of global variables related to that author’s profile, or alternatively display their information with the function author_profile().
