WordPress

WordPress is maybe the world’s most popular and widespread internet software. It is an amazing tool for bloggers. People with little or no coding knowledge at all can maintain a WordPress site without any hassle.It is pleasure to blog with it.

I thought wordpress was a complete software itself but it isn’t.

Here’s some missing features:

  • You cannot chooose to use SMTP mail instead of PHP Mail
  • You cannot modify the current PHP Mail settings e.g. to change the email address from wordpress@nayarweb.com to notify@nayarweb.com
  • Users cannot get email notification of comments. Though, RSS feed exists for comments.

I know all the points above are possible with plugins and some core file edits but it would be cool if it was default.

Facebook Group Chat

Facebook recently added Group Chat.  I love it. Facebook is becoming more and more powerful each day.  There are however some issues with the group chat.

  • No one knows how to delete a group after it has been created. I didn’t find any option anywhere to do it.
  • You can’t delete chat history as an admin. If someone posts something offensive about another person, you can’t delete it ASAP. It kinda pisses both people off although they might have forgiven each other later.
  • It would be cool if we could delete individual chats
  • New chat notification keeps nagging you when other people are chatting and you don’t want to participate at that particular time.

Anyways, the best solution for now is not to create fully open groups and allow only members you trust to participate.

My PC Crashed

While my sister was using the PC, it restarted suddenly.  It would boot until it shows the Windows loading animation and then restart again.

I tried repairing the Windows installation with a setup cd but it would ask for the administrator’s password which i forgot.

I had to remove the previous windows installation and install it again. Grrrr

If you just formatted your PC and don’t know from where to start to make it functional again, follow this guide.
