How to avoid bots from filling up Online forms using Spry?

August 24, 2008 – 11:47 pm
I'm sure every one some day or other were annoyed while filling out the painful CAPTCHA image in the form field. I have hated it all the time and its a pain for the users to read through the image and retype it again. Here is a simple solution that I found out while working @ESRI . I'm not sure who developed this solution but it has avoided a lot of bots from filling up online forms. The solution is to load the form when the user clicks an buttons/link basically any event that an real human can do it. The form could be loaded using an AJAX call. Using ur own favorite Javascript library. Just hide the form and then show when the user clicks on the link. After putting up the Yahoo online status image on my web site I have been getting a lot of spam IMs to my ID and ...

We are 61

August 15, 2008 – 1:43 am
Yes today its India 61st Independence day  and I'm sure every one who reads my blog knows it any way. I'm not a big time nationalist and India has its own internal issues like poverty,corruption,reservation and every thing else that we all know off. But the one issue that India should never face any more in future is the secession of states from the Union of India. Every one knows about the Telangana, Khalistan and even the Tamil separatist movement (total crap) during 60s. I personally won't encourage it because as the states separate they become weaker. If a problem cant be eradicated easily in a bigger state with lot of resources how come a smaller state can do that? Yeah you can throw in the concept that its easy to maintain smaller parts but not @ the cost of getting pushed around by powerful countries. Literally you dont have a say ...

Yahoo Message Archive Decoder (Yammy)

August 13, 2008 – 11:26 pm
I have always wondered why Yahoo didn't implement a message archiver that exports the message and a search interface to search the log which Gtalk has been doing it for a long time. This has been nagging me for a long time and today I finally found a free ware called YAMMY that converts all the message logs to individual html file. It doesnt have the search feature but at least I could back my messages now. Its a very simple future that everyone needs but Yahoo denies the end users small wishes. Talking about this I just remembered; When will Microsoft add the future to delete multiple book marks in IE. Do you see it Microsoft - Yahoo are made for each other both deny the end user their small wishes. I guess this song will be an apt situation song. Chinna Chinna Aasai..

We have waited a long time..

August 13, 2008 – 12:24 am
India has waited too long for a Gold medal in Olympics and today it has got one thanks to Mr.Abninav for winning it. I still remember rushing to get the Hindu newspaper every day whenever Olympics was going on to check if India has won a medal. Its obviously a dream true for me to see 1 placed across India in the medal tally. Here is an amazing Flex medal tally map.

In this podcast I talk a little about the movie itself and talk more about my memories @ age 3- 4. [display_podcast]
