jQuery Select change event firing twice

Hmmm...nice one

< select id="my_dd" > < ! -- options -- >< /select >

jQuery code:

$('#my_dd').change(function(){
     alert('hello') ;
})


Surprisingly on change the alert was getting fired twice.

Solution:

Nothing much, this was more or less my ignorance, put the block inside document ready and everything should be fine

Final code:

$(document).ready(function(){
     $('#my_dd').change(function(){
         alert('hello') ;

     })
})



Hope this helps anyone.

Cheers

uTorrent: Data error (cyclic redundancy check)

For all those have been confounded by this error while downloading torrents, all the available blogs and posts on this suggests, your hard disk has gone for a toss. Delete the existing download, re-download. Kind of frustrating, really frustrating. My experience differs a bit. While in truest sense it is always true, that this error is coming due to read errors from your hard drive, it is not always true that it is a undo-able physical error on your disk. It could be a logical one. This means, there's still chance for you. Breath and schedule a scan on your drive the next time Windows (I was using XP professional, SP 2) starts. This again depends on which drive you got the error on. If its the one which the operating system is having exclusive access to, you have to schedule the check, the next time your OS loads. If its a secondary drive, you can do it with few clicks only without a re-boot. If you are lucky, Windows would correct the error, and you'll have your download back,

Khude Jajabor Istasi

I've been looking for the book "Khude jajabor istasi" by Sailen Ghosh for at least 20 years and found it recently. The problem is made even more complicated by the fact that the original book was published in Anandamela way back in 1988 0r 1989. So I assumed the current publisher is Ananda. But no, Ananda doesn't publish this book. The book is now part of the collection "Uponnyash Samagra" part 2 by Sailen Ghosh, published by "Parool". Without more words, here's the front page:   And here's the index page: I'm glad if I helped anyone, who was as eager as I was, to find it. Do drop in your thoughts and words in the comment section below. I would also like to know more about similar other books or catch up with book lovers from that era. I believe there is no greater a did than talking about these nostalgic memories over some coffee. Cheers!

Photo upload to Facebook from your PHP web application

Recently I was asked by one of my clients to develop a feature on his website so that a user on that website may click on a button and publish an image from his/her account (on that website) to his/her facebook account. While doing so the system would ask for the users facebook credentials. Sounds simple? Yeaah...apparently its simple but when you start getting your hands dirty you slowly realize you are in deep mess. Particularly if you are a first timer as far as developing on facebook platform is concerned. There are multiple ways to achieve this. Using facebook connect or using a facebook application specially developed by yourself to accomplish the task. I followed the second approach. I'm trying to outline the exact steps you need to perform to get this up and running with least pain. And yes, the following examples would all be in PHP . Login to facebook, click on the developers link available in the footer section of the page and follow the steps so that ultimately you end
