smackaho.st - the domain which points to localhost!

smackaho.st - the domain which points to localhost!:

Today I was trying out setting up subdomains in a Rails app. But the localhost does’t support subdomains, like something.localhost. I was left with an option of modifying “hosts” file on my machine and point to any domain/subdomain I wanted. But, hosts file doesn’t support wildcard subdomains like *.something.com. Means I have to define every subdomain I want to use! Then I found this domain which points at 127.0.0.1 a.k.a localhost! And the domain has wildcard subdomain pointing at localhost too! So I could use any subdomain on the fly!! Very useful if you are working on projects which has subdomains.

Blogger by accident!

Wed, 20 Jul 2011 23:42:36 +0530

Back in 2006, I wanted to learn how to make web pages. I came across many websites like Geocities, Lycos tripod & created my own personal pages. Having a web page of your own back then was a wow factor among colleagues! Then came the Orkut and “you didn’t replied to my scrap” days! I was exploring communities on Orkut of my interest (though they were only for the sake of showing on sidebar most of the times!). I found a community called “Bangalore Astronomical Society” and Pavan K Murthy was the owner of it. Since we had similar interests I added him as friend & I found his blog “Grahana”. I didn’t know such thing as blogging existed back then. So I asked him over chat whether he was a journalist! He laughed at it and later I figured out what blogging is all about & started my own on blogger. Which I later moved to self hosted wordpress with domain name.

This post is first of the series I’m planning to write under tag “butterfly-effect” to bring out those small little moments back in my life which made a big difference.
