Once I created my first AJAX “application” (also based on some simple tutorial) I just can’t stop thinking of AJAX methodology and it’s usage all over the projects.
What is AJAX actually? By definition – Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, a technique used in web application development.
In general it is a combination of XHTML and JavaScript.
I was building an OCR driven application, implementation of EMC2 Captiva InputAccel as input management system for enterprises. We had a server dedicated just for OCR mechanism as we were having a higher volume of scanning/documents to OCR on a daily basis.
OCR mechanism was an “old” application – an Abbyy FineReader OCR module for InputAccel, written obviously before multi-core CPUs etc, but it was good enough to do the job.
This app is capable of running in a multiple instances as in that way it could complete it’s processing faster. But, there was a problem. Read more >>
Wouldn’t it be great if you could see what data exactly do you submit with your HTML form with Post method? Well, you can and it’s easy with Paros Proxy tool !
As the name says, to simplify, this utility acts as your local web proxy. So, to set it up (after the installation) you configure your web browser’s proxy setting to something like http://localhost:xxxx (where “xxxx” is a Paros Proxy specific port). By doing that all traffic you make through your web browser goes through this utility. Read more >>

It’s really hard for me to read unformatted e-mails, and it’s getting annoying when I recieve some important information and loose my eyes on scanning bunch of text in search for text I need to read.
I was also one of those programmers who didn’t “found time” to format those notification e-mails sent to webshop customers, but after some time I realized what I was missing:
Recently I needed to create a small command line app which processes .TXT files with some minor text editing.
So, as I’m a big fan of PHP I took a quick Google search on running .PHP scripts without installing PHP itself.
But, I’ve found something even more interesting – an application that actually converts, compiles, .PHP scripts into a standalone command line EXE application ! Read more >>
I have just released another small project of my own. It has a rather simple idea – to collect recipes of sandwiches.
Project is located at www.sendvic.com (sendvič = eng. sandwich) so as you can see I’m using a generic domain name.
This is my first mini social website and I’m using something new to me – Google FriendConnect service. For now, I just put some user gadgets on a site, and we’ll see how it’ll work when/if I get some visitors to join my community.
Working with both desktop and laptop computer at work, I searched for some usefull utilities to help me sync data between them and to make my everyday work easier.
I’ve found everything I need, and the best of all – those apps are free.
Recently I was alarmed that one of my late projects is under attack. It was one of my first websites I created using ASP+MS SQL.
Looking at .LOG files and database it was clear that the attack was done using SQL injection method, which is of course a shame on my work but it somehow slips through my fingers at certain lines of code. We all live and learn… There is a saying – who works, makes mistakes.
Anyhow, I was facing a problem that has to be sold, and finaly – I made it… Read more >>
