Using Deepest Sender, a mozilla FireFox Extension for Livejounal.
As I am not a livejournal'ist but more of a blogger, I find it hard to switch or use both at the same time.
There should be one like this for blogger as well is what comes to my mind.
A Comic Graber Extension to Mozilla Firefox would be cool. right.
Power Solutions article
Nice see my first article in the Dell PowerSolutions Journal.
Using Log Messages and alert actions in Dell OpenManage Server Administrator
Its not very technical, can be read and understood with ease.
Hope it is helpful to the system administrators using OpenManage and invokes some curiosity in others.
Hope you enjoy reading it!

Linus on taking up and working on open source projects
Nobody should start to undertake a large project. You start with a small
_trivial_ project, and you should never expect it to get large. If you
do, you'll just overdesign and generally think it is more important than
it likely is at that stage. Or worse, you might be scared away by the
sheer size of the work you envision.
So start small, and think about the details. Don't think about some big
picture and fancy design. If it doesn't solve some fairly immediate
need, it's almost certainly over-designed. And don't expect people to
jump in and help you. That's not how these things work. You need to get
something half-way _useful_ first, and then others will say "hey, that
_almost_ works for me", and they'll get involved in the project.
And if there is anything I've learnt from Linux, it's that projects have
a life of their own, and you should _not_ try to enforce your "vision"
too strongly on them. Most often you're wrong anyway, and if you're not
flexible and willing to take input from others (and willing to change
direction when it turned out your vision was flawed), you'll never get
anything good done.
In other words, be willing to admit your mistakes, and don't expect to
get anywhere big in any kind of short timeframe. I've been doing Linux
for thirteen years, and I expect to do it for quite some time still. If
I had _expected_ to do something that big, I'd never have started. It
started out small and insignificant, and that's how I thought about it.

Reliance Internet connection over Fedora Core2
Wow! I was able to connect at last the LG LSP -340E Reliance to
Internet (Rconnect ISP). The problem was, I was able to establish a connection, but when fired up a browser, it said Alert site not found. As if no connection was present.
Checked the /var/log/messages, the IP is assigned.
The problem is /etc/resolv.conf is not getting a proper Nameserver address when using Reliance Phone on Fedora Core 2. ( I am not sure, if this the limitation of script I tried, limitation of Fedora Core 2 - Rconnect or a general problem with Reliance ISP on any Linux box).
The following information helped.
Essentially to add these nameserver addresses in your /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 202.138.97.193
nameserver 202.138.96.2
The script I used was rconnect-cmdline-1.0.tar.
Just google for it, you might get it, if not leave a comment, shall
pass that along.

Cubes and Squares
There are two whole numbers,difference of their squares is a cube and difference of their cubes is a square.
These are the smallest possible numbers.

Linux Networking-HOWTO
I feel glad that I would be maintaining the Linux Networking-HOWTO at TLDP.
The Document is In-Progress state and I will be working on it (and enjoying it:) for sometime now.

Debian Sarge
Tried Debian Sarge today. Long had a thought of seeing debian work completely. Tried on a PE1750 installed all the megaraid2 modules and everything went fine. I found few media error while installation. But could get to shell at last.
Startx did not work saying:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xserverrc: line 2 /usr/bin/X11/X No File or directory
..
..
xinit: No such file or directory (error no2): unable to connect to X server.
Solution: as usual help from Google.
apt-get install x-window-system-core
But this failed at xfonts-base because media copy had some errors with the package.
So burnt another CD for bin 1 and this time only apt-get install xfonts-base.
Yo! debian and X is up and running.
Btw, for the first timer, Debian 1 CD is enough for the system to be up and running; dont know what the others contain.
* They still use more as the default pager for man pages when I feel less far more confortable.

cdrecord in Fedora Core 2
The command (for my system) is:
/usr/bin/cdrecord -v gracetime=2 dev=/dev/hdc speed=32 -dao driveropts=burnfree -eject -data <filename>
Previously the device was got by cdrecord -scanbus,but there were problems when given device from scanbus -dev=ATAPI 1,0,0 ( or do I not remember)
Anyway K3B helped and is helping a long way.!
