i am not that expert in php. i am still learning. lately i was doing php programming for an online it magazine going to be public soon. it was not a very big work though. i found an urgence for something that can seperate the presentation layer and logic layer. that is, i’ll be able to do logic work at will without bothering about the presentation layer. in same way, logic layer will not bother me when i am doing designing that is working on presentation layer. i a crude sense mix-up of these two layers is not that big a problem when i am working on smaller project. but if project goes bigger , it invites trouble if both the layers speghettied. so i was longing for some thing to help me out. at some stage , i thought to develop some solution. smarty saved my lots of valuablehours. smarty is really what i was looking. it is so important a tool but so easy to use. thanks to the developers of smarty. thank u so much.
University is resuming today
November 10, 2006 at 9:52 pm (politics, versity life)
it was unexpectedly elongated vacation. schedully resumption date was 30th october but political unrest situation country wide especially blood stained events of the 28th october could not let it happen . still we are in sort of premonition. the ultimetum placed by the 14-party alliance is expiring tomorrow. but not a single demand is met. even any progress is seen. awami league led group is strict to what they demanded and so is BNP led 4-party alliance. i dont understand why 4-party alliance is defending CEC where most of the people in bangladesh even some high-up heads in BNP thinking it to be good and fair if CEC gives up. i fear if president deploys army to uphold law and order situation. i truely pray that this will not happen but if it happens then this will cause fatal damage to our fragile democracy. why are we taking such hardline? why are we so stubborn?

storing and retriving bangla text in mysql database using php
November 8, 2006 at 8:51 pm (php)
lately i was doing e-magazine development work. there i had to do bangla text storing and retrival work in mysql database. at first place it was an easy go. but i succeeded at last. thank u so much hasin vai(hasin hyder,somewherein.net).
all i have to do is to add the following two lines after the call of mysql_select _db() function:
mysql_query(’SET CHARACTER SET utf8′);
mysql_query(”SET SESSION collation_connection =’utf8_general_ci’”);
this was really fun.
learning linux
July 1, 2006 at 5:07 am (musing)
Since the first time i sat before a computer, i was a real mystery to me. It even got more fuzzy when i got little known to linux world. Linux is frustrating for the newbies. Because its commands are huge in number and complex as it is manipulated. I spent so
many frustrating (and thrilling as well) hours to get on it. I think all the hardships are coming to an end. I am going to be a linux literate(!!).
website development
June 21, 2006 at 10:48 pm (musing)
I am accostomed to think that web page designing is something that is never any easy to me. But i feel that now this is going to change. I along with one of my friends, am developing a site for a much known institute in Bangladesh. I actually feel comfortable doing programming rather than designing. But designing is really fun.
