Having a offline wikipedia has been in mine and my friends thoughts for
a long time. Got to do something about it.
Public Samba Share
I had a requirement to setup the samba share in a way that it does not
prompt for username and password. Some photos had to be shared across to
a wide group and I wanted to share the CD mounted on my system.
Google for setting up a "Public Samba Share", you will get lots of
discussions. This article finally helped.
Apart from your share configuration like:
Have these in the [global] section.
Which defines the account to use when authenticating guests. Don’t forget to create this user using
This will create the user with no password.
Now we have a perfectly valid Samba setup with a public share, but every time a user wants to access this share as a guest, he will have to do so by logging in as “nobody”. To complete our setup and imitate Windows behaviour, add the following line to the smb.conf global section:

RSS Feeder .NET
Finally an RSS Feeder,which using effectively. Its
RSS Feeder
.NET.
The way I manage my mails is, I have two folders in OUTLOOK, one for
Internal and another for External.I download the mails to my
local system and read it offline at home also.
So, OUTLOOK is the software, I use major part of the day and have a
setup to work offline.
RSS Feeder .NET does both.
Isn't it helpful?

How do you manage multiple passwords?
Hi,
I have a question. How do people manage multiple passwords?
I for e.g, have same for many sites which I dont mind losing.
Different passwords for serious ones:
- Admin account for my office comp.
- Citibank account.
- Airtel bill payment.
- Different TPIN
- etc..
but many a times my passwords are within a group which I use.
My problem is, I often forget passwords if I employ a new one.
For e.g I forgot the Airtel site password again yesterday and did the forgot password thing ( this is the third time). I have lost citi TPIN as I have never used it.
What your ways of userid/password maintainence?

So, posting from vim Successful
So, I can successfully post a complete entry to LJ from vim. This is using a python utility called pyljvim. It loads up the LJInterface for the post and when run LJPost, calls a python script which takes up the interface and contents and publishes it to Livejournal. Simple is'nt it?
Okay, I did not write it. I was searching and found it in the deep web. I think it was not working as well. So I fixed it,made it work and after analyzing various failures on windows due to file enconding issues with vim and cmd.exe, I decided to drop the encoding support on windows and its finally working now.
Okay, todays highlight then!

The following comment on lisp from /. attracted my interest.
An ideal world would run on LISP...
It's amazing and somwhat sad that programming languages and runtime environments from Smalltalk to Java to Python to C#/.NET keep reinventing the wheel while a language from the 1950s has it all and does it even better - the most elegant syntax thinkable, powerful paradigms for code reuse, dynamic typing, modern memory management with no buffer overflows, and, with Common Lisp, one robust, industrial-strength language with a rich standard library that can both interpreted and compile code, obsoleting the difference between "programming" and "scripting" languages...
It was discussion on Practical Common Lisp book.

Article on Maths
jwz posted an entry on Maths for Programmers. That article is a very insightful. It analyzes how maths can be useful to any programmer at any time. We have all lost touch of basic mathematics and need to gear up. His suggestion is Maths should be learned breadth-first and not depth-first, as knowing different mathematical solutions we come to know about which section the problem belongs to and we might approach it correct. Another suggestion for all of us is to start with any math section at wikipedia and follow it till we understand it and do it daily.
Anyway, that article is a good read.

cvs co problem with Fedora Core 4

It was taking a long time and tried with
And connection was timing out.
This was strange, Fedora was trying with login with RSH instead of SSH. I remember it used work without doing any modifications, later remembered it was RHEL3 and not FC4.
With FC4, you will have to set the CVS_RSH=ssh explicity
In the .bash_profile
Now it should work. Thanks to this post.

Wikipedia suggests a editing guideline,i.e

enumerate function in python; pyTip
When looping through a sequence, the position index and corresponding value can be retrieved at the same time using the enumerate() function.
>>> for i, v in enumerate(['tic', 'tac', 'toe']):
... print i, v

0 tic
1 tac
2 toe
>>> for i, v in enumerate(['tic', 'tac', 'toe']):

pydoc humor
Attributes may be read-only or writable. In the latter case, assignment to attributes is possible. Module attributes are writable: you can write "modname.the_answer = 42". Writable attributes may also be deleted with the del statement. For example, "del modname.the_answer" will remove the attribute the_answer from the object named by modname.

Programming via voice
Bjarne's paper on
Learning Standard C++ as a new language. focuses on explaining the whats going underneath when you are using Standard C++ to bring efficiency, which user has to take care when using C.
He also encourages to learn C++ as a language and use the facilities provided by the language and library maximum. Don't fall into or go by the C approach.Yeah, we often find this in many of his papers and teachings. His books start with explaining about vectors in the first chapter itself. Says learning C as subset of C++ does not help.
Encourages to use the Standard Libraries to the maximum extent and when ever possible. For that we need to get to know and learn the methods provided by the Standard library.
Look it different, a good programmer in C++ would be coding in the similar way as programmer in python or java? Its just that some of us from C, want to use the C++ that way?

read a file line by line in python
Its real easy:
I was strugling with using readline() and going through a while loop with while file.readline() != ' ' under the assumption that and empty string is returned at the end of file. (Where did I find this?) Well online docs say
f.readline() reads a single line from the file; a newline character (\n) is left at the end of the string, and is only omitted on the last line of the file if the file doesn't end in a newline. This makes the return value unambiguous; if f.readline() returns an empty string, the end of the file has been reached, while a blank line is represented by '\n', a string containing only a single newline.
How do I match against the empty string at the end-of-file or EOF character? while != ' ': does not stop and keeps hanging a the last position of the file got by tell() method.

file = open('File.txt','r')

Center Google box CTRL CTRL vs ATEN kvm switch
The new Google desktop search has a center box which is always available and it sits on the desktop background. To invoke it anytime you got to do CTRL-CTRL
The problem is, this keystroke is not configurable,atleast by the options provided and I use those keystrokes to switch the display between by machines attached to KVM. CTRL-CTRL is default way to toggle between nodes in the ATEN KVM Switch.
Neither is configurable to a different hot-key combination.

elinks and elinks.conf
I am a fan of text based browsers and have noted lynx,links and elinks. I had found lynx more key-board bound and presenting much easy UI. elinks needed much of configuration.
Today found sometime to configure elinks options to suit my taste. (It now gels more with the terminal colors than having the default white background for everything.) I have saved it here: elinks.conf. Would like to use elinks more often now. :)

Sardar and Political Integration of India
Myself and Avi watched Sardar today. The movie deals with the historical subject of Political integration of India and Sardar Vallabhai Patel's hand in the unification of India. Its a serious and an intense movie, shows the happenings, urgency of decisions during the partition times. One gets to know Sardar Patel as tactful,strong leader and very good negotiator as well.
xml file editing using vim
xmledit filetype plugin should be of enormous help for editing xml with vim.
It provides:
- xml tag autocompletion at the close of the tag > and if pressed >> brings the closing tag to a newline and places the cursor in in the middle line between the opening and the closing tag.
- visually select a portion of text and then x would prompt you enclose it with custom tag and attributes.
- % matches of a tag(?) Should this be helpful? But anyway it should be configurable to match the tags instead.
xmledit with xmllint should be enough I guess to use vim as my xml editor.

zipping
I am finding it difficult to use Winzip on windowz to Zip a folder which contains a sub-folder.
The Right Click Menu Add to Zip creates a zip (final) of folder(1) and sub-folder(2) as two separate items.!
While on Linux I discovered that if you tar cvf filename.tar directoryname/* it will mangle the files in directory and You had to use as directoryname only.
For zip, its zip zipfilename file1 file2 and when file1 is a directory you got to use directory/*
Updated:
Just read the man zip.zip -r foo foo was what I was looking for.

cvs over cygwin
I had been struggling to use cvs to update some scripts using eclipse and wincvs. I had the thought that as they are GUI based, they might be more helpful for starter. with all kinds of failures, I was not able to figure out what the problems were. The same cvs account worked from eclipse on Linux box, but the windows box cribbed with error = -2 or something like that.
Finally, I thought of giving a try with cvs commands from the cygwin installation.
Yeah, I have not yet studied the cvs manual, but I come to know that login is possible only with pserver and not to ext.
b) you can checkout the project modules only from the tree.
c) cannot download a subdirectory only from that module.
c) To add a file to a subdirectory in the module. go to the local folder in the module which has the new files and then do a add and commit. This will add those files to the corresponding sub-folder inside the module at the cvs repository.
this is how I use:
cvs -d :ext:@: co
cd /
cvs -d :ext:@: add file
cvs -d :ext:@: commit file
so, just started. hope to get more grip soon.

New Mobile
Purchased a new Nokia 3100 today, should be replacing the Nokia 5510 which one of my friend had given to me use.(blah! I have been using for it long time now :)
Amongst its various features, the one which sold itself to me was, Its " A small & compact phone with a large high-resolution color display". Costed Rs.4,050/- at Viveks.

vim7
So, with I moved to vim7 from today. Installed Dev-Cpp (primarily for mingw compiler) as the mingw site was giving some problems and also wanted to try that IDE and then vim src directory provides a make file for mingw itself. thats it.

konqueror and proxy
When specifying the proxy for the konqueror, it has always been required of me to enter the PROXY IP Address. Otherwise it never worked.
And, kmail always launches Konqueror for the click over the URL. got to figure out how it can launch my default browser.

Christel House
Often we think NGO schools for under privileged ones as something different from a school where a good middle families will send(after putting lots of efforts).
Well, found Christel House by Christel DeHaan something different in concept and in action.

Day of Virtualization
The concept is interesting and the products are also so:
Today I tried.
bochs Ran DLX Linux and Free DOS. Could not see GNU Hurd in action though. :) and also minix of bochs is inline.
vmplayer was another good VM and Minix for VmWare was readily available. So, my desire of having a minix is getting fulfilled with vmplayer.
Yeah, I think we need to get used to these technologies, not thinking that there would be a performance lag, it will be slow etc etc.
I could work over Cygwin/X for one whole project, a three tabbed gnome-terminal is what I would need. Once I got used to it, I could'nt feel,as if I was doing anything different.
