• Back to the future .....
    No no no ... this ain't my mackbook native aqua. Its just gnome with a gtk hack to display the menus on top and avant-window-navigator :D..... with some fine tuning. Here is the aritcle that lists down the steps. Fiesty debs are available.
  • Drop in the ocean
    Ever wondered how a drop in the ocean feels like?I guess i don't have to anymore, cause i _am_ one.Recently Greg Kroah-Hartman displayed a graph of linux-2.6.22 kernel developers at linux syposium.And due to my stupid three liner patch, i am part of it......The original files are a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub...
  • Weak Aithism
    As a week aithist, i do not know weather god exists or not. But for god's own sake, i hope it doesn't, as it would be quite a stupid and ugly entity.
  • Reducing spam an already done deal?
    I feel stupid when i see the amount of spam we see on the email channels.More because its an already solved problem to a large extent. The thing called instant messenger. And an option called block unknown users. Duh!!!!!NO sender id no blacklists no dynamic algos. just plain old do i know you handshake. Hell even better prior art exists. Caller id on land telephones. Designed to reduce spam on phone, many people scan their messages and caller ids before picking up the phone. Hell i do it to...
  • www.devslashzero.com
    I purchased this domain to test out google application suit. Its sounds real good deal for small businesses and individuals. If google manages to iron out some rough corners. Its page creator sucks for one thing and the docs.google.com is a little limited. Also more customizing on interface side would have been welcome. On the other hand the things could not have been simpler (only if you register the domain name with google, it pretty ugly otherwise.)I had a website for a href='http://www....
  • Tiring gui's
    Few months back i wrote about OSX on my macbook. I also mentioned to see if i will stick with its interface and for how long. Well we have an answer to that now. Not too long. I am now fulltime linux (feisty to be precise) user on macbook now. With even suspend working with a slightly sloppy hack, i have no reason left to go back to OSX. I am waiting for some time before i will completely erase the OSX partition as its taking up whopping 30 GBs of my harddrive.

  • File named "-i"
    While reading slashdot i came accross a thread that discussed friendly fire of "rm".I know every one of you unix geek has suffered from it atleast once. A mistakingly given rm command.But the thread had a brilliant idea, put a file naded "-i" in the directory.so if you type by mistake "rm -rf /* .tmp" the / directory will expand having -i in the command line and rm will ask confirmation before proceeding :DAlthoguh i haven't tried it yet, will see... it will be dumb try if shell just adds an...
  • w810i + macosx
    Finally i found a reason to buy meself a new phone.Google just mapped my city (click to view) and added it to GoogleMaps. And now i can get location info on my mobile with sattelite pictures to verify my location.This gives a big advantage when roaming around trying to find an address in this crazily difficult road...
