My birthday, happened twice this year!
Today, 21th July, is my birthday. As it seems, my birthday in the Persian Calendar is the 30th of Teer, and as this year we had a 29 day february, the 30th of Teer, is the 20th of July, which is yesterday!
Confused? Well, let me explain it like this, based on the Persian Calendar, my birthday is the 20th of July, and based on the european standard calendar, my birthday is the 21th of July. So my birthday happened twice this year! Two birthday parties 
This year you can double your birthday just like me! Go and see which date are you born in following the Persian Calendar.

Stuck for 1.5 Euros.
Blogging from Luxembourg railway station. Earlier this morning, I took the train towards Luxembourg, my destination is Liège, in Belgium. I arrived here at 8.45 and the next train to Liège was within 15 minutes, i went to the sales office and asked for a ticket, but when trying to pay, my “French” credit card got rejected, all the money I had, was 15.50 euros and the ticket cost 17! I went to an ATM, but the bloody card wasn’t working at all. I tried to ask people for the 2 euros I needed, 15 people, but no one seemed to have even 1.50:( ! I tried to buy the ticket on www.cfl.lu which is Luxembourg railways website, but the bloody site is not functional and you can’t buy any tickets on it! Come on Luxembourg! Which century are you stuck in? It was already 10 o’clock and the next train was at 11.15, Suddenly I saw an SNCF (France railways) automatic machine, where you can buy, exchange and recieve tickets! I called my brother in france and gave him the info so he can buy the ticket via the internet with my credit card, and send me the details so i can take the ticket out of the machine here. He immediately bought the ticket on www.voyages-sncf.com ( France railways website, which ROCKS ) and he sent me the details. I got the ticket from the machine immediately. Right now, i’m in the train, destination Belgium. Vive la SNCF.

Coincé pour 1.50 Euros
J’écris de la gare de Luxembourg. Aujourd’hui, j’ai pris le train de Nancy à Luxembourg, pour aller ensuite à Liège, en Belgique. Je suis arrivé ici et le train pour Liège partait dans 15 minutes, je suis aller dans l’espace des ventes pour acheter le billet. Le billet coûte 17 euros, j’ai voulu payer par carte bancaire, mais ma carte crédit “Francais” à été refusé! J’avais que 15.50 euros de monnaie sur moi, je suis aller pour retirer de l’argent d’une automate, mais la carte ne marche pas! J’ai demander à mon frère en France de m’acheter le billet sur le site internet www.cfl.lu qui est le site nationale des trains de Luxembourg! Mais le site ne marche pas! On peut pas acheter un billet sur ce site!!? Dans quelle siècle est-tu coincé Luxembourg?! Il été déjà 10 heures, désespéré, j’ai demander aux gens, mais sur 15 personnes, aucune na voulu me dépanner de 1.50 euros (ce qui n’aurait jamais arriver en France). D’un coup je vois une automate libre service de la SNCF, c’étai comme de l’eau dans le désert! J’ai demander à mon frère d’acheter le billet sur www.voyages-sncf.com , le site de la SNCF, avec ma carte bancaire, que je puisse retirer le billet du libre service. Il l’a acheter et m’a envoyer les détails immédiatement, j’ai tout de suite retirer le billet de la machine. Maintenant je suis dans le train destination liège. Vive la SNCF.

HiveMail – Email Hosting Script
Ever heard of HiveMail? We’ll it’s a program which lets you run your own email server and provide your users with email addresses on your domain. This program uses PHP and MySQL to manage emails.
It’s a bit complicated to install, but once you get is installed, it runs smoothly.
There’s a pretty complete guide provided which explains how to install the whole thing.
I bought this program a while back and tried to install it on a domain for test.
After following the detailed steps in the guide, the Fata error I got was:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare hash_update() in /home/*****/public_html/****/hivemail/includes/functions.php on line 58
Well, after a lot of research, the last solution was to comment out the whole “hash_update()” function in the “functions.php” file.
To comment out this function, just open the “functions.php” file which is located in “includes” folder under Hivemail root, and find : function hash_update(… and add double slashes ” // ” on the begining of each line of the function.
That solves this error and you can continue the installation.
After having installed the program, I used the PIPE method for the email gateway and everything seemed to be OK.
But when I tried to send emails to my hivemail address; the emails were getting bounced back. and the message said:
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

The following text was generated during the delivery attempt:

I could send emails FROM the hivemail program, but I was not able to recieve any mails.
After Googling a while, here’s the solution I found, and IT WORKS!!
on hivemail install guide it says:
“Next, you will need to set the default address for your domain, so
all email not sent to known POP3 accounts is routed to HiveMail?. To
do this, login to cPanel and click the ‘Mail’ link from the main
page. Click ‘Default Address’ on the resulting page. Then click ‘Set
Default Address’.
On the next page, choose the domain that you wish to route HiveMail?
emails from. (Usually, you will want to set this to yourdomain.com,
unless you are planning to offer email@subdomain.yourdomain.com or
something similar.)
Type a pipe (the | character) followed by the to the
hivemail_process.php file that you uploaded above, so it looks
similar to this:
|/home/mysite/hivemail_process.php”)
but in fact you need to do |/usr/bin/php -q /path/to/your/hivemail_process.php
So, after installing, you may want to add some skins, to do so; create a “skins” folder inside you hivemail installation root and upload each skin’s folder there, and in the admin control panel, go to skin manager and import the “.skn” file.
That’s all about how to install and run HiveMail. If you need more information, don’t hesitate to post in the comments.

Finally, it got released! It’s been a long time I’m waiting for this version to get released as I didn’t want to upgrade from 2.5 to 2.5.1.
Today I found out that WordPress 2.6 has been released and immediately upgraded GIbni.com.
The first new feature I saw in my Dashboard, is the “Turbo”, at the top right corner of the page. What Turbo does is that it uses Google’s new technology, called Gears, to accelerate the website and make pages and content load faster. This requires Google Gears to be installed on your browser. Well, this takes almost no time to install, and helps a lot in accelerating the site. Continue reading “Latest WordPress version: 2.6” »

Post On Demand: "Parthi's fighter against lion" Ancient Engraving on Stone – Birjand, Iran
On Iran’s History – Exclusively On Gibni.com!
Dr. Masoud Moradi, University Professor of History, in Iran, a dear visitor of Gibni; recently contacted me and asked for a Post-On-Demand. He got two pictures from a very ancient stone engraving near his birth town, Birjand in Iran. After researches he made, the drawing dates from the Achaemenid Empire (550 BC–330 BC) period in Ancient persia.
In the photo you can see a man struggling with a lion and on the top, there are some writings that are not yet decoded by today’s specialists.
The Title of this engraving is: “Parthi’s fighter against lion”. Parthi is the name of a Persian Ethnic.
More about Parthians (by Dr. M. Moradi): they are an Arian group who fight against Soloukid, their dynasty expanded in Iranian plateau for more than four hundred years.
Here are some links he provided me, to get more information, just follow these links:
http://www.iranchamber.com/people/articles/iranian_ethnic_groups.php
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:People_of_the_Parthian_empire
http://www.parthia.com/parthia_history.htm
http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/662633/Parthian
Unfortunately, we see that there’re unrespectable people who wrote their initials on this historical monument which is a great piece of ancient history and belongs to the history of our world!
I’m really happy and excited to get the opportunity to put this photos on Gibni, as it seems to be a discovery which is published exclusively on GIBNI.COM!!!
