Welcome to my personal website. The website has been divided into four sections (blog, reviews, articles and software) for easy
accessibility.
Quick site guide
- You can find all my general opinion pieces, HOWTOs, original humour, comics and software-related essays on my blog Hari's Corner.
- You can find all my reviews on books, television and movies on my reviews site. This site is not as frequently updated as my blog (well, rarely updated) but you can still subscribe to an RSS feed just like my blog if you're interested.
- Some random articles of mine, salvaged from third party sites feature in the articles section.
- I also create random apps and utilities, mostly for *nix, released under a FOSS (Free Software) license. You can find some of them in my software pages.
Created using Free Software
This site has been constructed and put together entirely using Free Software or Open Source utilities. Nothing in this website is a "canned" solution and every single page you see here is the result of my personal coding/work. I wrote even the blog software (including its admin panel) on my own.- The static HTML pages and the simple PHP pages (the articles and the software section) have been created using Bluefish editor.
- The blog has been coded from scratch entirely by me in PHP and SQLite as the database backend. I used the excellent Quanta Plus web development environment a while back, but now use Bluefish as my primary HTML and PHP editor.
- The reviews site and its searchable index is plain HTML generated from text file sources and templates, automated by a script I wrote in Python. The mini search engine is a cgi script written in Python.
- All web page graphical elements have been created using the gimp.
