This social widget option will enable you to connect your audience via facebook in a much more simpler and easier way.

SQL Injection, yes It’s often happens around the web. In fact in real life example a lot of Content Management systems were affected by this weakness. Technically there was no software to protect or check SQL queries for suspected activity. Recently an open source software called GreenSQL offers a firewall solution for MySQL queries. It’s an Open Source database firewall used to protect databases from SQL injection attacks. GreenSQL works as a proxy for SQL commands and has built in support for MySQL. The logic is based on evaluation of SQL commands using a risk scoring matrix as well as blocking known db administrative commands (DROP, CREATE, etc). GreenSQL is distributed under the GPL license.

How it works?
GreenSQL acts as a reverse proxy for MySQL connections. It means, that instead of MySQL server, your applications will connect to GreenSQL server. GreenSQL will analyze SQL queries and forward them to the back-end MySQL server. Maybe this diagram will help you to understand the concept of it (more…)

Twitter is not only become a Trend, it’s also an unique marketing and communication platform. Twitter comes with few preset themes, yes they have some glitters but those are used by millions of people. So why not make your own Twitter background Image that will show off your uniqueness, at the same time give different and outstanding impressions. Well, design is easy for the designers to do but not as easy for anyone to implement it. I am not a designer and I only know a little bit of here and there, so it was pretty tough for me. Anyway, you should know there are almost a hundred types of Screen resolutions peoples are using and almost impossible to fit the background for any screen size. So you need to narrow down the audiences. Now a days most people uses screen resolution higher than 1200 pixels. So we should narrow down and try to make the screen work for 1200 or higher pixel display. I’ve seen several sites those who made twitter background image of 2048 pixel width. A jpg file with that wide view would be more than 400KB easily. (more…)

Sci-Fi/Action movies 2009
Which are the most anticipated sci-fi action movies of the year 2009? I’ve always been fan of sci-fi and action movies. This year a few action movies and their sequel are coming out.

Films directed by Michael Bay are usually like being shouted at by a halfwit for two and a half hours, and Transformers is no exception. Trust me whenever I have some time on my hand I watch the Transformers movie. So lets get into some details of these movies. (more…)
