એ તો કેવી અજબ જેવી વાત છે

નાની મારી આંખ, એ જોતી કાંક કાંક,
એ તો કેવી અજબ જેવી વાત છે.

નાક મારું નાનું, તે સુંઘે ફૂલ મજાનું,
એ તો કેવી અજબ જેવી વાત છે.

નાના મારા કાન, તે સાંભળે દઈને ધ્યાન,
એ તો કેવી અજબ જેવી વાત છે.

નાના મારા હાથ, તે તાળી પાડે સાત,
એ તો કેવી અજબ જેવી વાત છે.

નાના મારા પગ, તે જલ્દી ફરે જગ,
એ તો કેવી અજબ જેવી વાત છે.

Find in Files slow in Visual Studio 2003

After installing Visual Studio 2003 in Vista, whenever I tired to do a search in files using the “Find in Files” dialog, Visual Studio would freeze each and every time without fail. The fix:

  1. Go to the directory where Visual Studio 2003 is installed.
  2. Inside the Common7 directory, right click on the devenv.exe and bring up the properties dialog.
  3. Click on the Compatibility tab. Turn ON the following options:
    • Run this program in compatibility mode. Select Windows XP (Service Pack 2) in the drop down.
    • Disable visual themes.
    • Disable desktop composition.

That should make the search function usable.

આવ રે વરસાદ

આવ રે વરસાદ, ઘેબરીયો પ્રસાદ,

ઊની-ઊની રોટલી ને કારેલા નું શાક,

આવ રે વરસાદ, નેવલે પાણી,

નઠારી છોકરી ને દેડકે તાની,

આવ રે વરસાદ, ઘેબરીયો પ્રસાદ

ઊની-ઊની રોટલી ને કારેલા નું શાક.

વાર્તા રે વાર્તા

વાર્તા રે વાર્તા, ભાભા ઢોર ચારતા,

ચપટી બોર લાવતા, છોકરા સમજાવતા,

એક છોકરો રિસાયો, કોઠી પાછડ ભીસાયો,

કોઠી પડી આડી, અર્ -અર્ માડી!

મેં એક બિલાડી પાડી છે

મેં એક બિલાડી પાડી છે, તે રંગે બહુ રૂપાળી છે,

તે હળવે-હળવે ચાલે છે, ને અંધારા માં ભાડે છે,

તે દહીં ખાય, દૂધ ખાય, ઘી તો ચપ-ચપ ચાટી જઈ,

તે ઊંદર ને જટપટ ઝાલે, પણ કુતરા થી બીતી ચાલે,

એના દિલ પર દાગ છે, તે મારા ઘર નો વાઘ છે

Replacing a SIM card on a lost/stolen AT&T phone

Say your AT&T cell phone gets lost or stolen. You have a spare cell phone lying around, so all you need is a new SIM card. You call AT&T for the SIM card and they will ask you to shell out $25 for it.

For a better price, go to eBay and you will easily find someone willing to sell you the same card for $5-$7 (including shipping). Once you get the SIM card, put it in the old phone and call AT&T’s customer service to activate it. Net savings: About $20.

Searching for files in Visual Studio – Find was stopped in progress

This morning, when I tried to search for some files in Visual Studio using the ‘Find’ (Ctrl + F) dialog, I kept getting the following message for any kind of strings I searched on:

No files were found to look in. Find was stopped in progress.

Even searching for the string “a” returned the same message. Searching online I found out that a number of people had ran into this problem.

The solution: Press Ctrl + Scroll Lock (or Ctrl + Break) and retry your search.

I still haven’t found out how to regenerate the problem and why pressing Ctrl + Scroll Lock solved it in the first place.

WordPress permalinks and password protected sub directories

Recently I changed the permalink structure on this blog. I updated the .htaccess file in the root directory with the following:

DirectoryIndex index.php

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /index.php/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

After that change, suddenly all my password protected sub directories begin to return 404 errors. I tried playing around with different RewriteRules, RewriteCond to see if that would solve the problem, but nothing seemed to work.

Finally, I came across this post. It seems like Apache goes through the following stages when a password protected wordpress sub directory is requested:

  1. User requests www.exampleblog.com/subdir.
  2. subdir is password protected, so it sends back a 401 response to ask the user for a username/password.
  3. The .htaccess file sitting under the root directory processes the response. RewriteRules comes into play and rewrites the URL to www.exampleblog.com

How to resolve this problem?

  1. Create a dummy html file and put it under the root directory. The file doesn’t need to have any content. Let’s say the file is called onerror.html.
  2. Towards the top of the root directory’s .htaccess file, add this line:

    ErrorDocument 401 /onerror.html

Why does it work? Because once the subdir sends the 401 response, the ErrorDocument directive tells apache to serve the onerrror.html file to the client. The client however won’t display the file because it sees the 401 response in the header and asks the user for the username/password.
