Day 1)

Restrict Multiple Logins in Domain (AD)

I have always asked this question to my colleagues as to "How do i restrict Multiple Logins in an Active Directory Setup"

So here is the answer

Create a file when a user login and check for such file each time the login request is received  if file exists logoff, if file is not present Login and create the file. Its that simple

Below is the step by step process to achieve this using Group Policy

Random Link for Wordpress Blogs

I recently started my Photo Blog, after various considerations i choosed Wordpress for it, currently i have more than 20 photos posted on it which is not actually a big number but i found that the older images or posts will never be seen to the readers as they don't appear on the frontpage for more than 4-5 days, which created a requirement of creating a Random Link on frontpage to show a Random post to the user if he wants to and this began search for a module or a plugin as its said in wordpress.

But No Luck i found various plugins but i needed something very very simple so i thought going by the code which lead me using the following code in my header.php to create a Random Post link

<?php
$randomPost = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT guid FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_type = 'post' AND post_status = 'publish' ORDER BY rand() LIMIT 1");
