This is my first post of the new year 2010! And I would like to say to all, A very very happy new year! May god bring peace and love to this world!.
My exams are finally over (yeah, I have exams every other month), but these were the term-ends and now holidays! wooo!
I customize my wordpress themes myself and for that I have installed wordpress locally on my own little web server which runs on my desktop.
Most people use Apache to run their servers, yes Apache is a good choice but it takes up a lot of memory. So, for me, Lighttpd is a better!
You can install lighttpd in Ubuntu/Debian using apt-get. I’ll show you how to get php5 and mysql also working with Lighttpd. [Continue Reading...]
So, wordpress released a new version…and I was updating it with the automatic updater, and guess what…it wiped out my database! Geez!
And the worst part is, I forgot to make a backup!! I’m so @%&^((&_ right now!
Hello all, I’m going to update the blog with a new design 
So, in order to test some things it may go ‘offline’ for some time (don’t know when 
). So, if you experience problems or some stuff not working, have patience and it will be fixed 
Hello Hello 
I just migrated from Gnome to KDE 4.3 and I’m loving it
KDE 4.3 is MUCH faster on my machine as compared to Gnome and therefore I’m pretty happy with it. Recently my gfx card got fried and I’m left with the on-board card only, so no gaming and stuff 
Alright, so you say ‘why install Amarok 1.4 if Amarok 2 is available?’ Lots of people want the previous Amarok back since they don’t like Amarok 2 and KDE 4 Just like me
Amarok 2 is not my cuppa…it’s heck of slowww for me and since it only works ‘good’ on KDE (which I don’t use), so it’s not good for me (till now…, it seems the Amarok team is working on improving stuff in it, hopefully the next version will be more improved. But as of now, I’m gonna stick with Amarok 1.4. I’m on Xubuntu (Jaunty) and it works perfectly! I even tested it on Gnome and it works flawlessly. I always liked how 1.x worked…the 2.x series is…well…bloated….
According to ComputerWorld, pirates have managed to crack Windows 7’s product activation; “This is just a week after the operating system made RTM and a week before it’s slated to reach users.”
Hi guys (and girls ), just to let you know about this….one of my favorite Firefox addons for your online safety called Web Of Trust (WOT) has now partnered with Panda Security to better safeguard internet user’s. This joining of forces of the two companies and developing a co-branded version of WOT , which is available for both Firefox and Internet Explorer, will be of a major benefit to it’s users as it makes “searching, shopping and browsing on the internet a safer experience”.
So, you got a new gfx card eh? And it’s nVidia? coolio!
But you don’t know how to install the drivers on your linux distro? no probs….here’s how.
First of all, download the drivers from the nvidia site. Save the file (it should have a .run extension) to your home directory (or a directory which you can easily access).
I was compiling Firefox 3.5 on Ubuntu and I did all the optimizations and stuff to get better font rendering in it (see my other tutorial), but it seems that Firefox 3.5 has a bug; The font rendering is really bad even when you have all the configure options set and you have a subpixel hinting enabled build of cairo (default in Ubuntu). Here’s the bug filed at launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.5/+bug/379761
