Intranet of 90K+ developed on Drupal for a Fortune 20 company

Posted Thu, 2011-01-20 10:01 by admin

I am glad to be part of a team who deployed Drupal as an Intranet platform for a Fortune 20 telecom company.  This is the first time that Drupal was used on an open surce LAMP stack to create a corporate Intranet for over 90,000 employees. The project was a complete rewrite of the existing intranet that had been in operation for over half a decade. It was accomplished in less than 12 months from conception to full deployment, ramping up from just a one member team to a 17 person group with only 5 full time developers

Optimizing/Caching Poll's Block

Posted Thu, 2010-10-07 08:29 by admin

We all know that Poll is a core module which ships with Drupal. After installing this module we can setup poll and we can place a "most recent poll" block any where in region, usually its on a front page. I investigated this module and I found that it takes 20-25 queries to load most recent poll block and when a user submits a vote on that poll it does a cache_clear_all. Which was like WOW, in addition to submitting a vote users were also clearing my cached data. Optimizing or Caching poll's block for any kind of user (authenticated or anonymous) is like piece of cake, but figuring out how to do it was really a big pain in a neck.

With lots of Cheers and Tears - Happy New Year

Posted Sun, 2011-01-02 02:00 by admin

Last year was AWESOME, I cannot let it go with out mentioning that I was blessed with lots of Happiness and Joy. I am really very thankful to my Lord Allah Subhanawtallah that HE blessed me with a Son, we name him Saad. Then I came back to my Home Country Pakistan after spending three years in United States, I donot have words to mention about my feelings the first time I stepped out of the aircraft when I landed at Allama Iqbal International Airport, Lahore. I came to Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah, and paid visit to Haram-Makkah (House of Allah) twice. The first sight was magnificant, it was full of attraction, and your heart feels some kind of energy that tells you that this is the House of Allah who is the creator of all creations.

Say No to Blasphemy on Facebook and Youtube

Posted Fri, 2010-05-21 11:59 by admin

May 20, 2010 was the big day for the people who support Blasphemy and who condemn all acts of Blasphemy. Following my religious values I was and will strongly condemn all kind of Blasphemy acts toward our Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم‎ (P.B.U.H) , whether its on Youtube, Facebook or any media platform.

I have not seen any religion in the world that supports these kind of acts, favoring these kind of acts can definitely create hatered among different groups.

Relationship Between Personality & Temperament

Posted Sat, 2009-01-17 03:25 by admin

Today in the morning the idea popped up about personality and temperament, so i decided to share with others.

Personality means the visible aspect of one's characters and in normal circumstances we refer personality as first impression, where as temperament is defined as  person's normal manner of thinking, behaving or reacting.

These two terms are related in such a way that the term (temperament) becomes the measurement tool to describe other term (Personality).

Choice of a Hell :)

Posted Wed, 2010-06-02 07:44 by admin

A man dies and goes to hell. There he finds that there is a different hell for each country. He decides he'll pick the least painful to spend his eternity. He goes to Germany Hell and asks, "What do they do here?"

He is told "first they put you in an electric chair for an hour. Then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour. Then the German devil comes in and whips you for the rest of the day".

Government's blunder on Higher Education Commission Issue

Posted Fri, 2011-04-08 03:58 by admin

Devolving Higher Education Commission (HEC) and transferring it to provincial level means All four tires of car going in different directions, was this done on purpose? can we call it an educational conspiracy linked to some international conspiracy for destabilizing Pakistan? or some hidden agenda?. Last night I heard former Chairman of HEC Dr. Atta ur Rehman on one of Pakistani Satellite channel  saying "If you want to break a country break its education in to pieces" and I agree with his words.
