AJAX version of my BLOG

AJAX has been the most popular buzz word among the Web Developers. I have been using AJAX for a while now and wanted to AJAX enable my BLOG. And I have done it. You can check the AJAX version of my BLOG. The AJAX version is not the default one you will get once you login to www.nazly.net. But you will be able to access it through the above link which I'm planning to add at the bottom of the page to switch between versions once I test it out completely.

There are few ways that I have implemented AJAX in my Web Applications. Rasmus' 30 second AJAX Tutorial is one of the neat and basic ways. Sajax and libAjax are couple of tool kits I have tried out. On my blog I have used Prototype which is a Javascript Framework that can be used to implement AJAX in our applications quite easily.

Dapper -> Edgy causing probs

Posted by Nazly on Monday, 13th November 2006 16:05:14 (GMT +0530)

Couple of weeks back I was getting to the edge of upgrading my Ubuntu Desktop from Dapper Drake to Edge Eft. Upgrading has been a very easy process in Ubuntu as last time too I upgraded from Breezy Badger to Dapper Drake without any problems. With that in mind I started to upgrade it on my notebook on that day itself but didn't get a chance to make a post on how things went. In order to upgrade I ran this command.

gksu "update-manager -c -d"


It opened up the update manager with the message that Ubuntu 6.10 is available for upgrade. There was about 1GB to be downloaded so I left it to upgrade and went to sleep. By next day morning I upgraded to edgy. It was not up to the expectations but there was more problems when I realized that my wireless card has stopped working. It was working fine under Breezy and Dapper. Over the last couple of weeks I have been going through the forums and have found out lot of people have come across lot of problems trying to upgrade from Dapper to Edgy. Wireless issues have been a common thing. Currently I'm settled with my Ethernet card though have to sort out the wireless issue. I even played around with ndiswrapper but have few issues with it. I might have to install edgy freshly if I'm unable to fix it.
