Releaselog | RLSLOG.net

Recently I stumbled upon releaselog and ever since then it has become the first site I visit everyday just before I start my daily torrent downloads. I have the feed added to my Google Reader page. I browse, read the review and download if it sounds or looks interesting. Done!! Imagine the simplicity.

What I love fancy most about releaselog is the reviews. Every movie, software, music, etc.. always has a full review with good quality screenshots linked to it. The reviews provide end users with the ability to choose what file they really want to download instead of downloading something and later realizing it’s not what he/she wanted. I personally feel that the reviews actually increase downloads. Imagine yourself at a torrent site browsing through files, chances are you might not download a file with a weird name or has a name that’s not appealing but with reviews and honest feedback, the end user might download a file that he normally might have discarded.

Experience releaselog for yourself and tell me what you think. Hope you find it resourceful.  Releaselog | RLSLOG.net

.htaccess password generator

Use this tool at Dynamic Drive to automatically generate all the code needed to protect a directory on your site. Below are the 2 files generated by the tool. .htaccess goes into the folder that you want to protect and .htpasswd should be in a folder not accessible from the web. I normally put my .htpasswd file in my apache’s base folder.

.htaccess file
AuthName "Restricted Area"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /home/mydir/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
require valid-user

.htpasswd file
danny:8UAaVrlw.58f6

Hello world! The new begining, again!!

Yup, Hello world again. This time it is final.

I decided to move “TheDaneshProject Tech Blog” up a level to just “TheDaneshProject”. It’s easier to remember and seems to be stronger brand name I think. Don’t you  agree?

I am concentrating more on Linux related reads, general tech and also my passion for tattoos and piercings. This time I am going to try publishing as much information as I can get my hands on from the local scene here in Malaysia. Tattoos and piercings in Malaysia will also be my major direction.

Currently I am working on moving over my old articles from “TheDaneshProject Tech Blog” to this blog. Having some issues with the images and comments but I think I’ll have it completed by the weekend.

Stay tuned guys…..

“TheDaneshProject”, “share your mind”.
