Be careful while using OpenID

admin — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 10:42:38 +0000

OpenID users be careful, while using OpenID.
Because OpenID is designed for user can login using single ID for sign in multiple websites,
but the thing is OpenId user always sign in using the external application.
In background user has silently logged in OpenID account.
Finally the user closed the external web application using signout.

Still OpenID account session is alive and logged in.
If you used this in a public computer the same OpenID account name also in cache.
with that another user can login to your account easily.

So signout both the external application and the OpenID too.

BEWARE OF OPENID

Big Dump – MySQL Dump Importer

admin — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 09:54:59 +0000

Once I tried to insert a huge MySQL database (150MB) to my website via phpMyAdmin.

Oops, My hosting company provide only 2MB to upload via phpMyAdmin.
Then I have given the request to my hosting company to increase the upload size. after a

long conversation they have changed the upload size from 2MB to 8MB.

I have sliced the db in to small pieces and uploaded.

Recently I just gone through the script named Big Dump – Free, I was surprised and this is what i searched.

Really it’s simple, also i can able to insert huge db in a min.

I got the solution after one year.
Anyway thanks to Big Dump
