I was experimenting with apache server, url rewriting and php scripts. Made a little script which works with url redirecting and allows to download a file from my hdd. (that worked remotely too :), but ofcourse under username and password and ssl for security)
I am willing to continue to explore php.
Will update (maybe) tomorrow.

Bought a book to help me learn to code in PHP because I need to build a real website. I like this blog, but I think I should create a more real website on the main page instead of this blog. I will probably keep this blog, but I want to move it away from the main page (maybe ddscentral.110mb.com/weblog or like that) and create a real website.
I’ve got a lot of templates available, just need to decide which one to use.
P.S. Maybe I should just use Dreamweawer and html… but I will need to learn php anyway…
Decided to waste some time for some new computer games and shooting virtual monsters. I like shooting virtual monsters from time to time. (or trying to destroy a few virtual ships while playing Empire at war)
Also did a simple PC fix and got some money for that. Well I love getting some money just for resetting bios settings 🙂
Tested my new Infrared Control device connected to com port. This device allows to control your pc like a TV (you can even use your TVs remote control). The Infrared receiver is kinda easy to make (although, I didn’t make it myself, I asked a friend to do it). And it works. All you need is a piece of software called Girder and a plugin for it to work with IR receiver (called IgorPlug).
The infrared control thingy works, but the software is unstable (crashes frequently with no reason). I think, our old windows install probably needs to be re-installed 🙂 .
P.S. There’s also an usb version, but it’s harder to make, and there is no free software for it.
Will post more details after OS re-install.
