Naming Conventions for common Team's File

Earlier, I'd posted an article Naming Conventions for Flash Designers. In continuation of that idea, here is another efficient way of doing the say job.

According to this method of naming convention, let us first understand how to make a tag.

The tag can be created as <name-intials><number-of-times>. Here name-initials contains the initials of the user's name and number-of-times contains the number of times the user has worked on that file. For example, AK1 for Abhishek Kumar worked for first time, DC5 for Dulani Chandni worked for fifth time, etc.

Now the creater first creates a file and name it as per the tag creation rule. Then another person works over the same file and he'd suffix his tag in the name of that file. Again the creater re-works over that file. This time creater would increment the number-of-times part in his tag-initials. Similarly any other person who'll work on this file will suffix his tag in the filename. So, the filename would have changed like AK1 > AK1DC1 > AK2DC1 > ...

Hence, this method is suitable to handle team's work over the top of another and keep track of latest version.

Unlock protected blocks in Siemens SIMATIC Step 7

Recently I'd been called by Hindalco's Fabrication Plant division to unlock the protected blocks in Siemens SIMATIC Step 7. They were in need to unlock those blocks since an year because of 1 million Rupees of loss per month. They want to re-program those blocks but it was locked by the man who'd done the setup. From the people working in that department, I came to know that they were trying to call that man (someone from Italy) right here but he's not coming. Actually, what he'd done was that he'd locked some of the blocks and deleted the source file. And Siemens didn't provide any feature to unlock. Department people also told me that even the people working in Siemens don't know how to do it. Being a software engineer I know that any thing can be reverse engineered. So I took up the challenge. How did I unlocked the blocks? The first thing I'd done was searched about this software at Google and read about what is this software all about. Aft...

JS: The complete code example of Crypto.js (DES)

For one of the project I was trying to use crypto.js but I found that the Quick-start Guide have some deficiency in terms of library usage. So I am writing it here as a useful note for memory recap. <script src="http://crypto-js.googlecode.com/svn/tags/3.1.2/build/rollups/tripledes.js"></script> <script> var encrypted = CryptoJS.DES.encrypt("The secret message", "secret_key"); var e_msg = encrypted.toString(); console.log(e_msg); var decrypted = CryptoJS.DES.decrypt(e_msg, "secret_key"); var d_msg = decrypted.toString(CryptoJS.enc.Utf8); console.log(d_msg); </script>

Openmeetings Widget Wordpress Plugin

One of my client asked me to create a Wordpress plugin, so the first thing I did was to search for any existing plugin on which I can work on. Luckily I found one. It was developed by Shuki Vaknin. You can visit his plugin at:  http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/openmeetings-integration-plugin-widget/ But I had little different requirement. So I modified the Shuki Vaknin's plugin. The modification is that every session has a unique username. I choose guest as default name while adding a timestamp along with guest keyword like guest34578689 .
