Listen to the new album by Gorillaz before its official release on the Guardian's website.

There is this interesting article on Slate called Fix Your Terrible, Insecure Passwords in Five Minutes The method mentioned is quite good but there is another way through which you can create strong password and it will probably not take more than one minute. And you can even continue using your current password.We are just going to make it very strong. Let us  start with a word that you will

There are a lot of options for displaying weather information on Linux Desktops. There are some KDE plasmoids which usually ship with most distributions. There's the Weather plasmoid and there's yet another weather plasmoid (yaWP). Unfortunately, they are examples of what I would like to call as inadequates. The Weather plasmoid is not that much customizable and yaWP just got rid of an ominous

There are very few professional quality PDF editing tools in Linux. There is a "PDF editor" called PDFEdit which does not even have an undo key. Yes, you can do a lot of things (like add text and objects) but you can't go back from any mistake. In other words, a bummer. I like Pdftk which can do such simple things as merge and extract pages from pdf file/s. It is much more useful than PDFEdit.

In the last two blogs, I wrote about how to use a Chinese PCMCIA Express CDMA Modem to send and recieve voice calls and SMSs using Minicom. In this blog, I will write about how to check the signal quality of the Modem/Phone through Minicom.First a little understanding of what we are measuring. We are measuring the signal power strength in dBm. Since dBm is a logarthmithic unit, the decrease of

In my last Blog post, I wrote about how I used Minicom to call phones through a Chinese PCMCIA Express CDMA modem called SEP 6000. As I could now receive and send calls, I only wanted to know how to send and read SMSs received.By the way, the AT command for accepting voice call is AT$QCCAV which is a Qualcomm specific AT Command. AT+CHV will hang up the call.I already had the text version of the

I needed a cheap PCMCIA Express card for my CDMA card to access the Internet. I bought this one. Called SEP 6000, the application only works in Windows and unfortunately is a piece of junk. Most of the times, it would stop immediately after I start the application (by the way executable is srt.exe) telling me that ruim card is not found. The choices are abort, ok and cancel. If I click abort,

This is anecdotal. This seems like a life story. But somebody is nolonger in my life anymore.I think that my relationship with Ycnan is over:1. I seriously think that I need her more than she needs me.2. I think that she believes that I took her space without any consideration.3. She believes that the phone call that I made during dinner time wasinconsiderate. She also believes that I went on

And faith also keeps you going when you rationally should give uphope, or when your rationality is overcome or undercut by powerfulemotions. You have faith in rationality. Faith is more akin to anemotion, and rationality to a method of interpreting information. Theyare not really opposites, any more than rage is the opposite of atrial by jury. We associate them with opposite scenarios, but they

Hi,Back after a zillion years. This I got somewhere from Slashdot. Loved it.I argue the opposite. Faith is a weakness. Faith leads people toaccept their conditions and pray that it will get better rather thanact. Faith leads people to accept conditions that are unacceptable.Faith keeps women from leaving abusive husbands because the hopethey'll see the light. Faith keeps people from speaking out

When people are pretty down, as I am most of the times(and even now) Ilisten to music. Music is the greatest thing that keeps my spiritalive.

Relationship is a strong word.It may mean a million thing to milliondifferent people.And I know that most relationships start randomly, asalmost God(if there is one) provided the thrust. I believe that askingfor a date from an unknown person, if you think that person issomewhat interesting is all right. But pursuing a relationship whichis leading nowhere is inane and foolish.

When people are desperate , they do desperate things.It is assumed bymany that the poor are so because they are lazy.Indolence meanspoverty in the common speak. Some things like people dying in thestreets are simply ignored, and this year has shown that visualeffects rather than necessity turns people towards charity.
