  • Miscalculation.
    Z Zafar Sultan

    A man who was suffering from constipation, went to the doctor. Man: I am suffering from constipation for a very long time. It's just so frustrating and painful, I wish to end up my life. Doctor: Don't worry. Just answer my few questions and everything will be fine. With this the doctor calculated something on his calculator, took out a potion from his cabinet and poured some of it in a bowl. Doctor: When was the last time you got to eat something? Man: Just a couple of hours ago. With a serious look on his face the doctor made few calculations using his calculator and took out some of the potion from the bowl and poured it back in the bottle. Doctor: When was the last time you went to toilet? Man: A couple of days ago. Again, after few calculations the doctor took out some of the potion from the bowl and poured it back in the bottle. Doctor: You came here by four wheeler or two wheeler? Man: I use car. Once again, the doctor reduced some quantity of the potion after making few calculations. Doctor: How far is your home from here? Man: 6KM With some more calculation the doctor reduced the amount of potion in the bowl. Doctor: One last question. How far is the toilet from your front door? Man: 30 Feet. The doctor with some very worrying look on his face made few calculations on his calculator. This time it took him longer than ever to finish his calculation. The potion was again reduced by some quantity. Doctor: Alright. Your problem doesn't seem to be very serious. Just drink this potion here and drive home without stopping or talking to anyone as quick as possible. I will be waiting for your call. Call me immediately after you have relieved yourself. The man did the same. Drank the potion, and went straight to home in a hurry. After a few minutes he called the doctor in a very low tone. Man: Doctor, your potion was magical but you need to fix your calculator. Doctor: Why? What happened? Man: We lost by a couple of meters :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    So, after discovering few of the racist tweets from Microsoft's twitter bot TAY, I decided to check out its website[^]. It is such an eye burning design that after looking at the home page for a couple of minutes everything around me seemed to be changing its color :wtf: I mean, look at the color combination and don't forget to re-size your browser window. The Microsoft logo will overlap with social buttons. :laugh: Now I am wondering what was badly designed? website or the bot? I think still latter beats the former. Were the people at Microsoft in a hurry? Is the end of the world around the corner? :doh:

  • Accessing user images/videos from iCloud/Drive.
    Z Zafar Sultan

    First of all I would like to state that I am not an iOS developer. My current project requires me to get the user images/videos stored on iCloud using server side code. Let me explain that in detail. iPhone users usually sync their data(in our case images/videos) on iCloud/Drive. The client wants us to write code that will get this data from iCloud/Drive into our database but without any front-end. There is not going to be any iPhone app or web application to achieve this(maybe it will be developed later). He wants us to access it using server to server communication. Say, if I pass user credentials from my service to iCloud API/Web Service, is it possible to achieve what we are looking for? If no, is there any way to access user data/images/videos from iCloud/Drive? I have searched it a lot but didn't get an answer. Apple forum proved to be of no help as well.

  • Hosting Horror...
    Z Zafar Sultan

    I recently took service of a new provider for web hosting because the last provider was overcharging. I had to develop a small website in PHP. Since I did not want to change the page extension, I used .htaccess file to be able to use PHP code on my html pages. Everything was working fine on my local system. Mr. Zafar was very happy because first time he worked on PHP and everything was spot on. Now was the time to host the website on live server. The complete code was copied on the web server and the URL was accessed. The moment it was typed in the address bar and enter key was hit, boom...error 500 After a lot of code verification and testing, one more try and one more failure. I was in panic and contacted technical support. The support guy made me wait for a good hour and out of frustration I just uploaded a "We will be back" page and disconnected. Next day when I came back and tried to access the site, the home page was shown and there was PHP code smeared all over the page :wtf: I checked the directory and found that .htaccess file was renamed to .htaccess_back. I deleted it and reloaded a new .htaccess file and bang, again error 500. I deleted it and there was my website with crappy looking PHP code all over the page. I took down everything and left again with only "We will be back" page". After this I again contacted the technical support. This is the most important part. Kindly notice the responses of the guy :laugh: You are now chatting with "Support Guy" - General 19:42 Support Guy: Hello..! Welcome to our Online Live chat helpdesk), May I get your name and contact information in case we get disconnected? 19:42 Zafar Sultan: (I gave him my contact number) 19:44 Support Guy: How may i help you ? 19:45 Zafar Sultan: Why can't I use .htaccess file in my application? 19:46 Support Guy: What is your domain name? 19:46 Zafar Sultan: I hosted my website(the domain name) and it was giving error 500 19:46 Support Guy: please wait 19:47 Zafar Sultan: Some genius from your support staff renamed .htaccess file to .htaccess_back and the error was gone. 19:47 Zafar Sultan: But you know what? The whole site became crap. It still is. 19:48 Zafar Sultan: I recoded some part of it. But without using .htaccess file, I have to re-develop a whole lot bunch of php script. 19:48 Support Guy: Thanks for waiting 19:50 Zafar Sultan: And? 19:50 Support Guy: kindly consult with your developer regarding .htaccess file. It's coding issue. 19:51 Zafar Sultan: What issue? I am the develope

    What do you think a sane developer/designer/technical guy would do? I have already asked him to get the source code to look at. The Reply: We won't get the source code. It is their sole property. They can't share it.
