Is this the world that we are living?

When you are always in a run then sometime it happens that you want a break from all of the things that you are involve with. Then you try to start again. But how many people can manage to start properly. Some people even don't know how to start or where to start again. I know this is really hard for someone to understand but this is the fact.

In our life, everybody wants to go on with their life with a proper way so that they can manage their life in a way they always want. For this they are ready to do anything. Because by nature, men are always fond of happiness and wealthiness. When they get these two things, they think their life has been fulfilled with what they were looking for. Among all these people, some of them can able to flourish their desire but most of them lost their way and slip away. From those people who failed to manage their way, they either don't know where to go or totally get lost among themselves.

Life is a big name with a short time and in this short period of time, we always try to do the best for us. And sometimes we do such things that affects others. I don't know what others think about this but to me this is a very sensitive issue. To bring someone in an awkward situation for one's own sake is very miserable. I personally believe that one shouldn't play with anyone's life or emotion to make one's intention come true. This is very rude.

My request is if you want your life to be happy and make with full of joy, never play with anybody. If you want to do something for you that makes your life happier, then try to make others happy. Because humanity is a big thing in our life and to go against this will be a curse for anyone. So make yourself happy by make others happy and we can create a world with lot of happiness when we keep others happy and start giving values to everyone's wishes and ideas.

Lets create a new world of happiness.

Something useful called Cron

Hi guys

I thought this could be useful for you. As you know cron is very useful to automatically execute any operation on a specific time or an interval of time. In Windows, it is basically known as Windows Scheduler. In Linux Environment, it is known as Cron. Cron is basically installed in servers and we can manage the cron from the server's control panel. But there are some convention of using the cron. There is a file called crontab in the server which contains all the commands that will be executed. As i said, if we have the control panel with cron installed with it, we can do the cron operation. But if we dont have any access to that control panel, then we can easily do it by using some php code that will execute a cron command and a task that needs to be performed.

But before that, i want to give you an idea about the command that is needed to perform a task in a given time.


There is a special format for entering cron command:

Minute Hour Day Month Day Task

Minute = Minute of the hour, 00 to 59. * Will indicate every minute (details later)
Hour = Hour of the day in 24-hour format, 00 to 23. * Will indicate every hour (details later)
Day = Day of the month, 1 to 31. * Will indicate every day (details later)
Month = Month of the year, 1 to 12. * Will indicate every month (details later)
Day = Day of the week, 3 chars - sun, mon, tue, or numeric (0=sun, 1=mon etc).... * Will indicate every day (details later)
Task = The command you want to execute

Note: each of the above must be separated by at least 1 space.

So this is the format to write the cron command in the crontab file.

For more study about cron jobs, go to google.com and start exploring.

EE: Its All About CMS

Now a days in modern era of web, we are highly dependable on Content Management System(CMS) which really gives us a way to maintain and display the information in a systematic manner. Here in Bangladesh, we are very much dependable on CMS like Joomla, Mamboo or like Drupal in some cases. But there are so many Content Management Systems along with these which can make the web more interactive and useful. I am working with such a CMS from last one year and so. This is Expression Engine which is a Smarty base CMS.

Now the question is why Expression Engine as we've already got CMS like Joomla? Well then i would say, if you want your website to be more customizable friendly and a simple and easily manageable admin, then you should go for EE. I have heared from many developer about using Joomla. In our country the CMS technology is not that much vast. We may use 2/3 CMS for our websites. But to look for something better would be a productive way of development. I am not saying Joomla or any other CMS is bad. I cant criticize any other CMS. But i must compare among them to find out the best. Technology is changing day by day so we cant stick to the same thing throughout our development life cycle. Sometimes i heared from some of my friends that Joomla has some customization issues. I myself never used Joomla before so i am not 100% sure on that.

Lets talk about a bit of EE. Expression Engine is a product of Ellislab Inc. located in USA. They have a huge business with EE and also Code Igniter(You may have heared about this too!). In fact, Code Igniter and Expression Engine are developed by the same company. Like Joomla or any other CMS, EE also have open source modeules, Extensions and plugins. But the functionality of EE admin is very user friendly that it can be easily manageable by anyone who have a little idea about a CMS. There are weblogs by which you can manage your entries of your website along with the help of Custom weblog fields. There are some other features which helps you to enrich your site with more information.

The EE installation is also very easy. They have two versions of EE, one is commercial or license version and another is core or free version. The latest version so far is EE 1.6.3. They are going to launch EE 2.0 by the end of this summer which will be more powerful and interactive.

There is a Blog for EE where the experts and developers of EE share their views and latest updates. Also you will find EE forums from where you can get any kind of help. There are also a wiki of EE from where you can get help regarding different modules, plugins and extensions. Any developer can develop modules to work with EE as it is a open source CMS.

For personal use you can download the free version and the license version is for your professional use.

I bet that this single piece of CMS is very useful for anyone who wants to create a website in a short period of time and with more effectively and efficiently.

If you find this article helpful, then i prefer you to visit EE site:http://www.expressionengine.com

Please reply me if you have any query regarding EE ir anythings and also your views and reviews on it.

Thanks
