Do you want to make sure that users cannot access your Jira instance when you are doing some maintenance? Well this can be done by changing the permissions but that can be cumbersome. I found about this new add-on called Maintenance Mode for Jira I hope you like this video. Enjoy!

Today I want to show you how you can quickly setup a Drupal 8 website on Pantheon.io for learning purpose. It is a great way to get started on Drupal without setting up any environment on your local system.

They also give free chai when you tweet about them.

Very nice town. Very sunny and clean here.

This morning I was going to Reading when I thought of exposing the shell script that I wrote yesterday to read the CSV file where I am storing my GPS location and sending it to my website. I though of this idea where I can simply query my database of flat files. I thought of creating a bash script where I can pass the date and time argument and it will return my GPS coordinates of that day by looking in the CSV files. I also thought of exposing this script using API. So when I was searching on the net for some libraries I am actually found one called goexpose that might do the job but I was interested in doing something very simple and quick. I also found one link where I found this code. // This tool exposes any binary (shell command/script) as an HTTP service. // A remote client…

This Easter break was very fruitful for me. In fact I was quite satisfied with the work that I did in the last few days. In the past few weeks I am following IndieWeb principles and I implemented POSSE as well. I was quite satisfied with the new approach on my blog where I started posting small updates using notes. However I also wanted to implement checkins on the site and I shared the approach I took with my Drupal website and the modules I used to achieve it. However I still wanted this ability to display my current location on my site. I was actually inspired by Aaron Parecki. I wanted to do the same thing and I first thought of using his code which he open sourced but I wanted to do it myself and also I don't have an iPhone plus my site runs on Drupal and I was more comfortable…
