Amazing 4 days

Posted Mon, 09/28/2009 - 01:25 by vattam

I must say the last 3 days have been some of the exciting days of my life. This is the first time that I am coming home since I took up my job as Research Assistant at Indian Institute of Technology Powai, Bombay (rather Mumbai, I am shit scared of the MNS :-P) under Prof. Prabhu Ramachandran to work under the FOSSEE group. Bill Bryson says in his book, 'Notes from a big country' that there are three things that you can't do in life.

Configuring mod_rewrite on Apache

Posted Tue, 09/22/2009 - 15:47 by vattam

In order to enable Clean URLs module on Drupal, an Apache server module named mod_rewrite has to be enabled. The following is the procedure to do it on Ubuntu which has LAMP installed using tasksel.

The mod_rewrite on Ubuntu LAMP is not enabled by default. It can be enabled by running the following command on the terminal.

sudo a2enmod rewrite

This will enable the mod_rewrite module on Apache. Now restart Apache server by running.

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

The Dark Knight

Posted Thu, 07/31/2008 - 15:39 by vattam

Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight" is easily one of the best movies I have ever seen and by far the best super hero movie ever made. I had read on some review about the movie - "This movie will set a standard for all superhero movies. It will change forever the way super hero movies are looked at!" The statement is 100% true. The movie delivers what it promises and more. The reason why Batman is my favourite super hero character is that, Batman is so believable and acceptable. Batman is not superhuman, and what he does is through the help of technology and money.

I Hate Google

It was a bright Sunday morning I must say, the sun shone from the window right on to my face, waking me up from my sound sleep.I woke up with a start,it was ten past eight and stretched myself. Feeling the great desire for a cup of coffee,which I must say I was addicted to, I made myself a nice hot cup.
