Debuggers

J January, 2009 /

In my example I will try to find the best tools for debugging windows programs.

General plan for cracking a program

  • install the program
  • search for already made cracks for this version
    • astalavista.box.sk
  • check what type of protection it has
  • search for universal patch/cracks/dongle emulators
  • Try

    Opera beautifully engineered…for my desktop

    J June, 2008 /

    I was nice surprised when I tried Opera browser for PC after aprx. one year Firefox usage.

    Zooming is faster and smarter than in every browser that I have used.

    Firefox boot like MS Windows, and is almost stable like it.

    Opera is faaaaast. Gmail is fast. And my work is going fast because all webpages are opening fast.

    What? Why you need faster browser if it doesnt support right CSS, DOM, or what ever?

    Who said this ? Check the tests for CSS2 and see that Opera and FF are failing apx on the same tests on the same places I am not sure even who is the winner. Check also this those acid tests also

    Does someone has tried the dragonfly plugin – analog for the firefox firebug ?

    I must agree that the Opera release 9.50 (Build 10063) has some strange javascript support. It happends that when I paste an URL for RSS in Opera, the current page disapears, maybe this is a feature and not a bug :)

    Also I am very very disapointed that I should write this article in FF because the build-in WordPress editordoesnt work for Opera :)

    Web Spiders and expired content

    J June, 2008 /

    All my spiders were taking all content from a website on a single visit starting from the begining.

    It seems that the idea of remembering which urls “produce” links with content is not so very bad.

    Here is what I found for diri.bg – a local Bulgarian SE.

    I see that diri.bg hasn’t remove from their page

    show_categories.php

    Even I have no links to this page. Check the result here

    Ops. Google do it the same way: here

    Then how to get rid of old pages without leaving “bad” links in internet?

    I will try to put show_categories.php in robots.txt to see what will happen with this page.

    will_paginate with ajax

    J May, 2008 /

    It is very easy to handle ajax pagination as described on this post here.

    I want to give one full example.

    Here is how my form looks:

    <% form_remote_tag :url => {
                      :action => 'handle_urls',
                      :script_id => @script,
                      :page => params[:page],
                    },
  :html => {:id => 'f'},
  :update => "filtered_articles_pane" do %>

    Here is how my will_paginate helper looks:

    <%= will_paginate @filtered_urls,
  :renderer => 'RemoteLinkRenderer',
  :remote => { :with => "'script_id=#{@script.id}&approved_flag='+$(\'approved_flag\')",
  :update => 'filtered_articles_pane'} %>

    I have used the improved version of the will_paginate:

    # Use it like so…
# will_paginate :collection, :remote => {:with => 'value', :update => 'some_div'} 

class RemoteLinkRenderer < WillPaginate::LinkRenderer
  def initialize(collection, options, template)
    @remote = options.delete(:remote)
    super
  end

  def page_link_or_span(page, span_class = 'current', text = nil)
    text ||= page.to_s
    if page and page != current_page
      @template.link_to_remote(text, {:url => url_options(page), :method => :get}.merge(@remote))
    else
      @template.content_tag :span, text, :class => span_class
    end
  end
end

    Update for will_paginate 2.3.x

    # app/helpers/remote_link_renderer.rb

class RemoteLinkRenderer < WillPaginate::LinkRenderer
  def prepare(collection, options, template)
    @remote = options.delete(:remote) || {}
    super
  end

protected
  def page_link(page, text, attributes = {})
    @template.link_to_remote(text, {:url => url_for(page), :method => :get}.merge(@remote))
  end
end
