FlashImg
For those who have propreity images on their website and want to safegaurd(atleast to some extent) from surfers who just right-click and save or go through the source, find the src and save it, I have a partial solution!
click here for an example!
The solution is to load the image inside a flash object. But then its impossible to make one flash each for every image. So, I made a Flash which can
- dynamically load Images
- show the percentage downloaded with a bar
- dynamically copyright messages or add captions
- Unzip the archive. You should find
- flashimg.php - the php class file
- images.php - images definition file
- flashimg.swf - the flash file for loading the images
- index.php - example file
- Edit the images.php file. Will look like this
include("flashimg.php");
$img = new ih2hFlashImg;
//instantiate the class
$img ->copyRight("© sandosh");
//Assign default copyright message
$img->addImg("sandosh","sandosh_alak.jpg",420,315);
//parameters in order -> name, src, width, height, alt(to override copyright msg)
- Include this file in your pages and use
$img->displayImg("sandosh");
to display the flashimg, where parameter is the image name. - All done!
Feel free to use this code and also if possible do drop in a line on which site you are using it.
Enjoy! 
Hello world!
Welcome to my Blog.
This is my first post ever!
3 hrs back I was researching for the best blog software on the net, then a linux, open source geek, Manu, my friend IMed me 2 links which were really helpful to decide on what to go with.

Although I didn’t read the article completely, I had narrowed in on MoableType and Wordpress. I again asked Manu for suggestions and as expected he wanted me to choose Wordpress since its licensing was GPL!
So, I finally decided on Wordpress then went on hunting for the right theme. I googled and browsed through most of the themes avaiable here. After almost an hour I chose the theme quintine, which you are currently viewing.
And now, Here I am with no energy left for the day writing my first blog entry…..
ciao ppl
