This goes back to my other post a li'l while ago that covered some cool, must-use WEB2.0 sites if you want to really organize your life on the internet, be it social n/w, coding, searching, bookmarks or for that matter every damn thing you hook on to that wi-fi for (and I didn't say that you're floating on your neighbor's air-waves, got-ya!) How many of us are now over those over-zealous

Woah!!! This is cool. We've all known the concept of VM's and the JVM that is being virtually used in every intelligent machine, even the thinnest of a computing client (cell-phones, e-gadgets etc.) But, we also know that no-matter how much the JVM has evolved thus far... it's a virtual machine and can still not give you the performance of the real machine as close as possible (the in-famous

A lot comes bundled with Linux OS these days (thanks to the FOSS revolution) and we've zillions of utils and UI's to choose from to adapt to the Linux way of life in software development!Still, Linux encourages the UNIX thought process and the philosophy of DIY (do-it-yourself)...A power user (developer, build engineer, admin) would programmatically configure (read: automate) his environment and

Most of us know cygwin as one of the best/easy Linux-like emulation on WIN/x86 platform. Cygwin also offers a graphical UNIX/LINUX client terminal (unlike putty that's just a character console). To install/configure cygwin refer Shuva's blog on cygwin.We can "ssh" to any X machine and open up a full fledged X console (KDE, GNOME etc. for Linux) in 3 steps:1) From within the cygwin bash terminal,

These cater to the needs of people volunteering to fill the gap for things that range from bare necessities in a web-enabled PC user's life to just plain what if's...Here, I've just put some of those websites I've hit (thru search or referrals or ads) recently.EyeJot: what could be the next

Recently one of my team mates was looking for a library call or some implementation to be able to get the subnet mask given a CIDR notation like 172.xx.xx.xx/16. There's a command "ipcalc" that can show you the subnet and other info given a CIDR notation, but we wanted to see how its implemented. With the kernel src code RPM not installed on that machine, we thought of doing a search for it's

I had been facing a lot of issues lately with Firefox when I've multiple FF windows and tabs open. Usually I'd have atleast 4 FF windows: Markets, Code/Tech Search, Reader/Blogs, Misc opened at my Desktop, each having half a dozen tabs.With my belief that FF is less buggy (or so you'd say I'm biased towards open source browsers) and has less mem leaks than it's in-famous counterpart IE...

And this isn't just it... There's a significant lot more we need to do when it comes to getting attention in this wide world of blogs (over a million blog-posts happening everyday)Being a novice blogger myself, I won't cover all that you need to seek attention for your blog. Surely though, you can at least make the search engines to throw-up your blog URLs when a relevant keyword is searched

Have you ever taken a different route to your destination to escape crossings, right hand turns (in Indian context) or traffic? Daily commuters in Metros these days would take to less-common routes (the road less traveled sometimes proves the road to success) to ensure an easy, congestion-free drive (saves time in most cases). But all such path discoveries happen either by exploring yourself or

Come 2008 and the market/economic gurus predict a lot of volatility in everything related to money and forex. Not only this, technology will be at it's best to make our lives better (remember Philips saying: Let's make things better) and give us more options to communicate and collaborate on a wider scale. With all this, the concern and efforts for greener and safer earth will still be a "

Well, now that we've installed and configured TBB libs on our (Linux) machine, we can start playing with various parallelism constructs provided by TBB and use them to gain meaningful efficiency in our day-to-day problem solving.Why stress on "meaningful"?

Phew! With Linux there's always some amount of configuration/tweaking reqd. before you can build source or make use of a new library...And I must tell you, I luv this challenge! The best example of this is when you want a GNU app or a framework to help you do something more with your Linux box. Most of the time we'll download src code from GNU free s/w websites like sourceforge etc to get started

This one is the first in a series that highlights various aspects of n/w security that goes un-attended or needs still more attention!I was going thru some articles on N/w security as part of my daily Security-dose. As a developer working on products that uses the word "Security" day-in-day-out... I feel that we sometimes overlook the importance of this word in our security products'

rpm, search for this in Wikipedia and you'll get some gr8 info about revolutions per minute. But as we all know this tool and have been using this for quiet some time now on Linux distros...
