Corrected PDF HTTP Issues
Set the svn:mime-type property to application/pdf for all pdf documents hosted on the subversion repository, so that clicking on PDF links opens them up as pdfs and not as text.

mod_rewrite for Better URI’s
Changed all permalinks to use mod_rewrite in both debajit.com and blog.debajit.com.
- The URI for the About section now looks like http://debajit.com/about/ instead of the previous http://debajit.com/?page_id=20
- All this gives me better SEO
- This eliminates a majority of pesky .htaccess Redirects, which were prone to error and difficult to maintain.

Custom Error Messages
Added customized error messages
Now if you go to a link which does not exist (http://debajit.com/asdf/), or a link which you don’t have access to (http://images.debajit.com/), or just in case there is some other error over at debajit.com, you will be presented a custom error message. I’ve also thrown in a link to the W3C definition and description of that error message.2005 Dec 28

Feed Abstraction
Created feeds.debajit.com to abstract away feed details. My blog feed is now http://feeds.debajit.com/blog/ for instance. Why?
- All my feeds can have easy-to-remember URI’s now
- Tomorrow when I change my feed technology or even its URI, all the users subscribed to my feed will not notice anything at all, and will naturally segue into the new feed.

Universal Feed
Debajit.com now has one single feed for all aggregators. All the various feeds with different formats (RSS 2, Atom, RSS 0.92) have now been removed and replaced with one feed, which dynamically adapts itself depending on the feed format supported by the aggregator.
- Removes needless confusion. The average user will no longer have to choose from a confusing array of formats. It will be done automatically.
- Keeps things simple.
