আমি ইহা কি দেখিলাম…!

: ইহা কি দেখিলাম?

গত কিছুদিন ধরেই সার্চ ইঞ্জিন অপটিমাইজেশন নিয়া একটু স্টাডি করছি। সাথে কিভাবে সাইটের রিভিনিউ বাড়ানো যায় সেটা নিয়েও ঘাঁটছিলাম আরকি! মূল কারণ ভালো ট্রাফিক আছে এমন কিছু সাইটের মাধ‍্যমে যদি কিছু আয় করা যায় তাহলে অন্ততঃ ব্রেক ইভেনে পৌছানো যেত! এছাড়াও ভাল কনটেন্ট বা সম্ভাবনা আছে এরকম কিছু সাইটেও কিভাবে ট্রাফিক আনা যায় সেই চেষ্টা করা। কাজটি করতে গিয়ে হঠাৎই মনে হল প্রজন্ম ফোরামকেও তো একটু অপটিমাইজ করা যেতে পারে। কারণ এখানে অনেক কনটেন্ট আছে। একটা সময় ছিল বাংলা কোন কিছু লিখে সার্চ দিলে গুগলের প্রথম পৃষ্ঠায় প্রজন্ম ফোরাম আসবেই (মোটামুটি ৮০% এর বেশি সময়)। কিন্তু এখন দিন বদলাইছে না? এখন দেশে ভুরি ভুরি বাংলা সাইট। Continue reading →

Swords and sandals – a very popular flash game

Posted on August 29, 2010 by The HungryCoder

I never thought a flash game is so popular online! Recently while doing some traffic related study I found a site which receives 60% of its search engine traffic to only one game named Swords and Sandals ! There are most than one versions of Swords and Sandals! Most interesting is that only version 2 that means Swords and Sandals 2 receives about 80% among previous 60%. I tried to play it for a while and I found it is interesting!

Recent air travel experience

Posted on August 22, 2010 by The HungryCoder

Recently I have experienced my life’s longest air journey! During this journey, I have used a few numbers of airlines! I am trying to share my experience about them!

I went to Goa, India on 23rd July, 2010! There was no direct flight from Dhaka-Goa! Even, if I want to use single airline, it will take at least 22hours to reach to Goa! On such a critical situation, Nazrul vy (Brother-in-law of arafat vy) from Pan Bright Tours & Travels, arranged connecting flights for me! At first I was very skeptical about the connecting flights because if any flight delays, I will miss the next flight! However, good news is that I did not miss any flight ! Continue reading →

Tips for WordPress Cron functions

Posted on August 11, 2010 by The HungryCoder

WordPress provides some nice APIs for executing unattended scheduled tasks without relying on any external cron! Usually, we need to create a cron from our control panel / systems! However, if you implement built in cron features of WordPress, you gain better portability of your WordPress site!

However, it has a great limitation! This cron fully relies on site hits! WordPress triggers its cron functions after someone visits the site! When anyone visits your site, WP checks if any cron are supposed to be executed on or earlier of that moment! If no one visits your site, WordPress will fail to execute your tasks!

In this blog, I am going to show two tips that may be helpful while you work with wp-cron functions!

Hurray! Purchased a new Macbook Pro

Posted on July 11, 2010 by The HungryCoder

Just few hours ago I have purchased a macbook pro (latest model). Really amazing moments! Though I was not much fan of Macbook, but recent electricity problems and my recent interest to iPhone/iPad application development bound me to buy one macbook. Initially I planned to buy macbook rather than macbook pro however, I see a small price gap if I upgrade macbook to 4GB RAM! So, I found it better to buy macbook pro.

Today, I borrowed money from my brother and requested hasin hayder to give me company! Hasin vy picked me from Radission and we both went to Aloha Ishoppe at Gulshan 2. As we wanted to purchase immediately, they agreed to provide free backpack. The backpack promotion actually expired on 30th June, 2010. However, they could not ignore our requests to give one free even now . Thanks to them. It is really good.

Toggling ASC/DESC sorting using Animated table sort plugin for jQuery

Posted on June 26, 2010 by The HungryCoder

Just few mins ago, from a tweet of Tareq Hasan, I came to learn about Animated Table Sort plugin for jQuery. Seeing the demo I was stunned and decided to implement on a project I was working right then!

After implementing, I see it can sort in one way. Either ascending or descending. If we set the parameter to

sortDesc: true

it sorts the table in descending order, otherwise ascending order. But, I wanted in both way. I mean, after clicking on the header, it should toggle between order. Suppose, on first click, it sorted ascending order. However, the second click should sort in descending order.

Recaptcha with AJAX application, get new challenge using JavaScript

Posted on June 23, 2010 by The HungryCoder

Currently, I am working on a commercial project (for me) that will be dedicated to the soul of Michael Jackson. I have used some AJAX based interface where I have used reCaptcha challenges to fight spamming. The form where I have used reCaptcha, will be submitted through AJAX calls. As the page won’t reload, the same captcha challenge exists even the user makes a mistake during filling the form. I wanted to show a new challenge each time he/she makes a mistake. I thought, I will be in trouble in this part! However, I have seen it is extremely easy to get a new challenge. Continue reading →

Show RSS Feed within a WordPress Post – In Post RSS Feed plugin

Posted on June 17, 2010 by The HungryCoder

This idea, showing a relevant RSS Feed at the end of the post, came to my mind day before yesterday. That time, I had to install the wp-exec plugin that can handle PHP codes inside the post. Using that, I have included an RSS Feed at the end of the post to show live contents from external site.

However, that is not suitable for all. All wordpress users don’t know PHP. Moreover, it is not simply process. if you make a syntax error, you take a lots of trouble. So, I thought, I will make it simple. And yes, the initial version is done. I have plan to release an low-cost premium version with many customizable features that I have in my mind.

How it works?

After you install the plugin, you configure it from WP-Admin -> Settings -> In Post RSS link and set the number of items to show and show/hide Feed Title that is given by you as you see in the screenshot below:

Converting Youtube videos to MP3!

Posted on June 17, 2010 by The HungryCoder

Yesterday I have downloaded two fantastic songs from Youtube. Later, I wanted to move them to my mobile as MP3. As the downloaded vidoes are in FLV format, I would need to convert them to MP3. I thought, no problem, I have ffmpeg install in my LinuxMint .
