শান্তি প্রিয় মানুষ গুলো
কাজের কাজী কে শুনেছে?
সুখী মানুষ সন্ধ্যা সকাল
সুখের শুধু কাল গুণেছে।

Recent rumor is Sachalayatan, a Bangla group blog banned by Bangladdesh government. It’s true no one from Bangladesh could access sachalayatan.com.

I tried ping, and it’s worked fine.

No doubt only some port, probably only ‘80′ port blocked (DNS works fine). You can access (those from Bangladesh) all other ports, and won’t get any more “The connection has timed out”.

Try yourself: http://www.sachalayatan.com:2086/

Solution from sachalayatan is very much simple, change your apache port from 80 to something else.

Question is, who blocked this ‘port’ therefore sachalayatan.com ? May by BTTB (BTCL), newspapers said BTTB refuse to comment anything about sachalayatan.

Big question, is it done by sachalayatan itself? They off course could done this to get media publicity by filtering only IP’s from Bangladesh. This “Sachalayatan blocked” news could publicize them well as recent ‘freedom fighter’ issues involved. However, nothing confirmed, and there is no reason to claim something without knowing exactly what happened or happening.

Whoever blocked, no one from Bangladesh could access sachalayatan directly, people browsing them by using online proxies and/or other way out there.

UPDATE
Sachalayatan not blocking themself, confirmed. It’s good to know that they are not the culprit but it’s indicating something unfortunate issues!

BTTCL down at this moment since 2 AM BDT either because of submarine cable disconnected or for some unknown ‘upgrade’!!

ADDITION [18 July, 2008 11:30 PM]:

A little test to understand the problem not at Sachalayatan end:

Try to visit:
1. http://www.sachalayatan.com/
2. https://www.sachalayatan.com/~sachalay/ (accept the SSL warning)

(1) and (2) serving from same server and locate same page. If you can’t access (1) but can access (2) what that means? No IP filtered and no technical fault from sachalayatan server, the problem reside at the middle of your connection (BTCL).

Happy New Year, Mate!

gmail-lite is an HTML-only interface of Gmail. It makes use of libgmailer and removes all those Ajax fancy stuffs to provide a clean, neat interface to users. It originally targets browsers on PDA (such as Netfront), but its simplicity should allow it to work on any browser on Earth, from lynx to IE3 to firefox.

Last two days I’m using GP internet (Grameen Phone) and I’m anxious that I’m not able to login Gmail nor any Google.com services! If I have authority sure I’ll punish ‘em well!

In the meatime gmail-lite is the only option to keep in touch as I’m hardly using Gmail for my all emails. I install it to http://gmail.banglasavvy.com and it’s working fine!

If you ever can’t login to Gmail either for your low bandwidth speed or any reason such as GP (god bless them), you should have your own copy of gmail-lite or you may use this one.

Banglasavvy.com has got the new look! I’ve just made the Savvy Wordpress Template and didn’t able to control myself to launch, I’m not yet implemented all my ideas though! There will be more visual changes, included some AJAX effects and few more functionality when I’ll finish the template.

Recently I had used to spent times with Wordpress.com and liked there h3 template they are using ATM, It’s really a great wordpress template! I liked specially there concept to not use any blog summary other than post details page, they create topic list in archives…there are lots other sites do the same.

I took few concept from wordpress.com, this new look of this site inspired by wordpress.com.

Although It’s not my first wordpress template but this is first time I’m using my own wordpress template for my own wordpress blog site. If you guys have any suggestion, saw any bugs please comments here and let me know.

উঠে বসে,আমি আমার পর্দাগুলোরআড়াল থেকে
ধরলাম অলক্ষ্য প্রজাপতিটাকে, যেন জ্যোৎস্নালোক দিয়ে গড়া
অথবা এক বিন্দু শিশির
আমার আঙুলের বন্দিত্ব থেকে ছাড়া পাওয়ার জন্য ছটফটে
প্রজাপতিটা আমাকে দিয়ে গেল সুগন্ধের মুক্তিপণ।

বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা দিবসে স্বাধীনতার সওগাত

‘মাটির ময়না’-র DVD ভার্সন বের হয়েছে ১৬ই এপ্রিল, ২০০৫-এ। এটা বাংলাদেশে প্রথম রিলিজ পেয়েছিল ২০০৩ সালে। কিন্তু মজার ব্যাপার হল ‘মাটির ময়না’, “Cannas Film Festival, FIPRESCI International Critics’ Prize for Best Film” পুরষ্কার জেতে ২০০২ সালে। এর কারণ আমাদের মহামতি ‘সেন্সর বোর্ড’। তেনারা ইহাকে সেন্সর সার্টিফিকেট দেন নাই। কারণ হিসাবে বলা হয়, “ধর্মীয় স্পর্শকাতরতা”। পরে এ নিয়ে পিটিশন হয় এবং আদালতের অনুকূল রায় পেয়ে ‘মাটির ময়না’ মুক্তি পায়?
