Made koha search work with zebra

Testimonial from a happy client (Thomas Franklin, Digital Book Index)

Thanks a lot, Ketan.

Yes, I've been meaning to thank you for doing a great job on our website. I noticed how much work we (ie, you) did when I was going back over our correspondence. In the end, it turned out pretty much as you had originally suggested when we started out (ie, modular). It just took me some time to understand its virtues. Our traffic has doubled since last January, and the old site would never have stood up.

Again, thanks for a job very well done.

Best regards,
Tom

Name servers set up!

We have set up our own name servers. They are now answering name resolutions of few websites from ns1.carvingit.com (master) and ns2.carvingit.com (slave). A mini-hosting service has thus started! We now develop, host and maintain websites.

Updates to AmodDandage.in

We have taken up the maintenance of www.amoddandage.in. Shri Amod Dandage is a well know Tabla artist.

Shopping cart and paypal payment gateway integration

Shopping cart and paypal integration on CircusDreams.net. The shopping cart is session-based and pops up in a JQuery pop-up. Upon successful completion of payment, an email of payment information along with a couple custom html variables is sent from an IPN (Instant payment notification) handler script.

Postfix, Dovecot and SASL configuration for Virual hosts!

Configuring server to send and receive with postfix was interesting. Following was involved.
* Installation and configuration of Postfix, Dovecot and SASL and their dependencies
* Writing shell scripts for adding new email addresses for Virtual hosts
* Dealing with "Relay access denied" was finally fixed after a lot of internet search and configuration updates. It was a learning experience.

Started using GIT for managing source codes

With GIT,
* you can create/merge branches easily. Branching is a very powerful feature of GIT.
* patches can be created and applied easily.
* developers can have their own local branches!
