Hari's Corner

I've now added a photos page to this website. It pulls out the RSS feed of my public Flickr photostream and displays it neatly in a table.

Hopefully this is a good solution. Flickr is quite convenient as a desktop tool as well, so this way of embedding photos on my page saves me my website bandwidth as well

I am looking for a simple PHP based photo album tool to display a gallery on this website, but I am surprised to find that the majority of PHP based albums are huge and bloated (gallery 2 is the biggest monster I've found so far).

I don't want multiple users, I don't want unlimited depth of categories - I just want to create a simple set of albums of photos and display them in a neat way.

And oh, it should be easily themeable. So far I've found only tools that are either upwards of 5 MB and come with severe bloat in terms of features or those which are so lightweight that they don't even have a commenting system.

If nothing else, I might be tempted to brush up my PHP skills again and write my own. (or should I use Python?)

I have been busy writing content and promoting my new forum website Law Students Community and I haven't had much time or energy left to write on general topics.

Yes, writing on specific topics is demanding, especially because I have to verify the accuracy of the information I supply. Opinions can be expressed far more easily.

It is rewarding though. Hopefully you can find some topics of interest on my forum. Registration is not necessary so do drop by with your comments if you find something interesting.

Message from the admin/owner

Since October 2004, LiteraryForums.org has been live and I've had plenty of time and opportunity to make it a success. For the last few years however, it has not grown large enough to sustain itself as a forum community. I have done my best to promote it and I thank all the users who have participated in the forum. For myself, I feel sad at having to close it down at this stage, but I think it is in my best interests that I move on with other projects and other interests.

Having invested several years in my online community it was not easy to make this decision, but I must face the fact that it has lost direction and is no longer active as a community for the last year or so even. If one member were interested I would have kept it alive, but facts are facts. The majority of the few posts I got in the last few months are by spammers. It wasn't worth continuing.

If you have found this page through a search engine and are looking for any particular page, I apologize again for wasting a few minutes of your time. Please check the google cache of the URL you found and if you are lucky you might find the original content.

What I am going to do with the domain I've not yet decided. Keep it, sell it or let it expire?

I've published an article on contempt of court and its scope in LawStudentsCommunity.com.

Contempt of court is a familiar term in legal parlance and is actually used to classify quite a wide-ranging series and varieties of offences by any person or persons against the authority of the courts, the judicial system and the rule of law at large. The power of contempt of court actually implies the power of the courts to punish such offences which challenge the authority of the courts to a greater or lesser degree.
