This IMO is one of the dirtiest way for me up till now to accomplish a requirement. But it does the job I want. :D

First,

DISCLAIMER: I ’m not a guru, I’m just a learner. So there might be a chance that the whole article might be fundamentally wrong.

I thought of this because I use P2P network a lot.

On my laptop, which is the repository of everything I have, it is necessary for me to make sure that it is secure enough.

To firewall it I use the single rule from iptables:

Wow!

Overall it has been a complete rediscovered experience switching from own webservers to a web-hosting service provider’s servers.

It took me almost a full week to get back pivot working on the foreign host. I really miss my servers. Cam, if you can listen that, “You made me have a week of tiring time”.

Following code does the same thing that Tridge’s iprint.c does.

#!/usr/bin/env python  

import sys

"iprint - Andrew \"Tridge\" Tridgell's iprint in Python"

def toBinary(dec):  
"""  
This function does the coversion from integer to binary  
"""  
    bin = ''  
    while dec:  
        bin = (dec % 2 and '1' or '0') + bin  
        dec = long(dec/2)  
    return bin or '0'
 x = 1  
text = ''  
while len(sys.argv)  > 1 and x < len(sys.argv):  
    text += sys.argv[x]  
    x += 1

for x in text:  
   print ord(x), "\t", hex(ord(x)), "\t", oct(ord(x)), "\t", toBinary(ord(x)), "\t", x  
   print "\n"

Aye zindagi kyon hai yeh dhuan ???

Recently after my vacation to home I regained my usual life, The Lonely Nights

Almost every night morning while I try to sleep I get weird feelings. Feelings like there’s a snake crawling on my legs over the quilt. The feeling like it’s moving towards me and will bite me right at my neck so that I have no possibilities of fighting back to death. Also the scorpion that’s stuck under my pillow, comes out in anguish and hits me at the neck.

Customizing Gallery ver 1 is as simple as adding your HTML code into respective wrapper.header.html and wrapper.footer.html files at the end, after all the PHP code, in the html_wrap directory.

Simple, Isn’t it!

Really, What a lovely OS is Debian.

I must admire its technical design. Recently I had to wipe out my hard drive for some reasons. I had put a lot of effort into selection of packages and configuration as per my taste.

And guess what, re-installation is a cool breeze in Debian. Every setting and every package (from multiple sources) were back. I use a mixture of Testing + Unstable + Experimental + (Some other apt sources) on my laptop.
