While working over it from last 7 months I passed through many stages that taught me many new things in java, came across several third party libraries, learned them, implemented them and dived deep inside them like Smack. It is really a beautifully written library for xmpp protocol and believe me, I never felt like I am working with a third-party library. It is just like a part of java’s inbuilt libraries. Although it also lacks few things that are really required to work with modified protocols of facebook and google talk but still it does the job.

This project provided me opportunities to understand how to carry on a big project and exactly how to keep the complexity of your project in your hands. Yeah, it takes time to understand all these things at once to understand but still I just loved working over it.

Its the first pre alpha build and still many things are still left to work on and get them combined and fixed to stand this software. But this feels like just the beginning of starting and launching something good to say your own. I will definitely now keep on updated with new builds and soon enough in like 4-5 months I expect to get up with the first alpha release which will contain lots of feature that people really want in an instant messenger client.

Well, that all. And everyone coming here on my blog and reading this blog, I want you to try this client and help me build it more better by reporting bugs and asking for feature requests and any one interested to work over it in collaboration then let me know.  That is all from Crony’s developer now.

Cheers

In this program I am appending tabs in an entire column, my program asks user for the file name and the column number at which he wants to insert tabs. It takes some time depending on the file size. It works from the command line only, no GUI is available. If you want to insert any other character instead of tabs then you can replace ‘\t’ in file.writeByte(‘\t’) method with any character of your choice.

CAUTION: As this program is not tested for all possible conditions so it can result in unexpected behavior or can corrupt your data if anything goes wrong. To preserve your data, Do make a backup copy before using this program on your text file.

I was bound to use RandomAccessFile Class for accessing the file, as this class provides some specialized methods with which I can jump to specific positions like seek() . I was facing problem with detecting the end of lines so I used RandomAccessFile.readLine() method to move the file pointer to the end of the line. I am trying to do the same with RandomAccessFile.readByte() to detect end of line, but yet not got success, as soon as I get it working in that manner, I’ll upload that program as well.

The program is below, any questions and suggestions are invited in comments

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.RandomAccessFile;

                long ofFirstLine=file.getFilePointer();
                
                if(fileLength==ofFirstLine)    //Break the loop when EOF is encountered
                    break;
                
                if((s=file.readLine())!=null){  //Moves pointer to the end of present line to check the contents of next line
                    if(s.length()<1)
                        lineBeg=ofFirstLine+2;  //If next line contains nothing, it is used to skip that line
                    else
                        lineBeg=ofFirstLine;
                }
                else
                    lineBeg=ofFirstLine;
            }
        }
        System.out.println("WE ARE DONE...");
        file.close();
    }
}

										The simplest way to get your java application JFrame to show at the center of the screen if you are using J2SE 1.4+, then you have access to the Window method:

setLocationRelativeTo(Component c)
For Example:
this.setLocationRelativeTo(null);

Use can use null for the argument (in place of component arg) to center your top–level container or your JFrame
Or the other possible way to do so is to use the following code to get it in the center:
// Get the size of the screen
    Dimension dim = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();

    // Determine the new location of the window
    int w = window.getSize().width;
    int h = window.getSize().height;
    int x = (dim.width-w)/2;
    int y = (dim.height-h)/2;

    // Move the window
    window.setLocation(x, y);

										Generally for beginners making a project find it difficult to understand how to start the Java DB network server or shut it down right from their java code.

There are two ways to do this as described in Derby documentation (http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/adminguide/tadminconfig814963.html):

You can use the NetworkServerControl API to start the Network Server from a separate thread within a Java application:.
Using a derby.properties file with some special strings inside it.

For the beginners I suggest to go with the first method of using the NetworkServerControl API and I am going to explain the same for you. For second method you can look in documentation on the link given above.
NetworkServerControl class is included in the JavaDB(Apache Derby) package.  It is located in lib\derbynet.jar\org\apache\derby\drda\NetworkServerControl.class
So derbynet.jar must be in your classpath or included in your project libraries. It contains four constructors that let you start derby server in a more flexible way. Here is a small guide in documentation of Apache derby on these four constructors (http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.7/adminguide/tadminconfig813694.html)
You can find the NetworkServerControl API information on http://download.oracle.com/javadb/10.4.2.1/javadoc/jdbc3/org/apache/derby/drda/NetworkServerControl.html
You can use any of the below to start the server on the local host machine and if you want to start the server on a different host then you can insert the InetAddress.
NetworkServerControl serverControl=new NetworkServerControl();
serverControl.start(new PrintWriter(System.out,true));

NetworkServerControl serverControl=new NetworkServerControl(InetAddress.getByName("localhost"),1527);
serverControl.start(new PrintWriter(System.out,true));

										If you wish to stay on Zynga Shootout Poker table on Facebook even after loosing then here is an easy trick, however you can not play further on but yeah you can participate in chat and watch further game.

All you need to do is to just press the refresh button for that page of your browser after loosing a game. And when the page loads again then you can watch the table clearly and can participate in chat also. See the screenshots below for getting it more clear.
Here we comes when we loose in a shootout game. Now just press the refresh button above and see below where to lands.
Now after refresh you can watch the table clearly and can also chat with the remaining players.

										Here is a program which shows you how to change the background or foreground of a JTree node when cursor is brought over individual nodes.


import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.tree.*;

public class TreeTest
{
    private JTree getTree()
    {
        String[] birds = {
            // branches |<-- child leaf nodes -->|
            "hawks", "gray", "red-tailed", "rough-legged",

        };
        DefaultMutableTreeNode root = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("birds");
        DefaultMutableTreeNode[] nodes = new DefaultMutableTreeNode[birds.length];
        for(int j = 0; j < nodes.length; j++)
            nodes[j] = new DefaultMutableTreeNode(birds[j]);
        for(int j = 0; j < 9; j += 4)
        {
            root.insert(nodes[j], j % 3);
            for(int k = j + 1; k < j + 4; k++)
                nodes[j].insert(nodes[k], k - j - 1);
        }
        DefaultTreeModel model = new DefaultTreeModel(root);
        JTree tree = new JTree(model);
        tree.addMouseMotionListener(new TreeScanner());
        return tree;

										Here are the prime 10 reasons why PCs crash that you must know:

Fatal error: The system has become unstable or is busy, it says “Enter to return to Windows or press Control-Alt-Delete to restart your computer. If you do this you will lose any unsaved information in all open applications.”
You have just been struck by the Blue Screen of Death. Anyone who uses Microsoft Windows will be familiar with this. What can you do? More importantly, how can you prevent it happening?
1.Hardware conflict:

The number one reason why Windows crashes is hardware conflict. Each hardware device communicates to other devices through an interrupt request channel (IRQ). These are supposed to be unique for each device. For example, a printer usually connects internally on IRQ 7. The keyboard usually uses IRQ 1 and the floppy disk drive IRQ 6. Each device will try to hog a single IRQ for itself.
If there are a lot of devices, or if they are not installed properly, two of them may end up sharing the same IRQ number. When the user tries to use both devices at the same time, a crash can happen. The way to check if your computer has a hardware conflict is through the following route:
* Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> System-Device Manager
Often if a device has a problem a yellow ‘!’ appears next to its description in the Device Manager. Highlight Computer (in the Device Manager) and press Properties to see the IRQ numbers used by your computer. If the IRQ number appears twice, two devices may be using it.
Sometimes a device might share an IRQ with something described as ‘IRQ holder for PCI steering’. This can be ignored. The best way to fix this problem is to remove the problem device and reinstall it.
Sometimes you may have to find more recent drivers on the internet to make the device function properly. A good resource is www.driverguide.com. If the device is a soundcard, or a modem, it can often be fixed by moving it to a different slot on the motherboard (be careful about opening your computer, as you may void the warranty).
When working inside a computer you should switch it off, unplug the mains lead and touch an unpainted metal surface to discharge any static electricity.
To be fair to Microsoft, the problem with IRQ numbers is not of its making. It is a legacy problem going back to the first PC designs using the IBM 8086 chip. Initially there were only eight IRQs. Today there are 16 IRQs in a PC. It is easy to run out of them. There are plans to increase the number of IRQs in future designs.
2. Bad Ram:

Ram (random-access memory) problems might bring on the blue screen of death with a message saying Fatal Exception Error. A fatal error indicates a serious hardware problem. Sometimes it may mean a part is damaged and will need replacing.
But a fatal error caused by Ram might be caused by a mismatch of chips. For example, mixing 70-nanosecond (70ns) Ram with 60ns Ram will usually force the computer to run all the Ram at the slower speed. This will often crash the machine if the Ram is overworked.
One way around this problem is to enter the BIOS settings and increase the wait state of the Ram. This can make it more stable. Another way to troubleshoot a suspected Ram problem is to rearrange the Ram chips on the motherboard, or take some of them out. Then try to repeat the circumstances that caused the crash. When handling Ram try not to touch the gold connections, as they can be easily damaged.
Parity error messages also refer to Ram. Modern Ram chips are either parity (ECC) or non parity (non-ECC). It is best not to mix the two types, as this can be a cause of trouble.
EMM386 error messages refer to memory problems but may not be connected to bad Ram. This may be due to free memory problems often linked to old Dos-based programmes.
3. BIOS settings:

Every motherboard is supplied with a range of chipset settings that are decided in the factory. A common way to access these settings is to press the F2 or delete button during the first few seconds of a boot-up.
Once inside the BIOS, great care should be taken. It is a good idea to write down on a piece of paper all the settings that appear on the screen. That way, if you change something and the computer becomes more unstable, you will know what settings to revert to.
A common BIOS error concerns the CAS latency. This refers to the Ram. Older EDO (extended data out) Ram has a CAS latency of 3. Newer SDRam has a CAS latency of 2. Setting the wrong figure can cause the Ram to lock up and freeze the computer’s display.
Microsoft Windows is better at allocating IRQ numbers than any BIOS. If possible set the IRQ numbers to Auto in the BIOS. This will allow Windows to allocate the IRQ numbers (make sure the BIOS setting for Plug and Play OS is switched to ‘yes’ to allow Windows to do this.).
4. Hard disk drives:

After a few weeks, the information on a hard disk drive starts to become piecemeal or fragmented. It is a good idea to defragment the hard disk every week or so, to prevent the disk from causing a screen freeze. Go to
* Start-Programs-Accessories-System Tools-Disk Defragmenter
This will start the procedure. You will be unable to write data to the hard drive (to save it) while the disk is defragmenting, so it is a good idea to schedule the procedure for a period of inactivity using the Task Scheduler.
The Task Scheduler should be one of the small icons on the bottom right of the Windows opening page (the desktop).
Some lockups and screen freezes caused by hard disk problems can be solved by reducing the read-ahead optimisation. This can be adjusted by going to
* Start-Settings-Control Panel-System Icon-Performance-File System-Hard Disk.
Hard disks will slow down and crash if they are too full. Do some housekeeping on your hard drive every few months and free some space on it. Open the Windows folder on the C drive and find the Temporary Internet Files folder. Deleting the contents (not the folder) can free a lot of space.
Empty the Recycle Bin every week to free more space. Hard disk drives should be scanned every week for errors or bad sectors. Go to
* Start-Programs-Accessories-System Tools-ScanDisk
Otherwise assign the Task Scheduler to perform this operation at night when the computer is not in use.
5 Fatal OE exceptions and VXD errors
Fatal OE exception errors and VXD errors are often caused by video card problems.
These can often be resolved easily by reducing the resolution of the video display. Go to
* Start-Settings-Control Panel-Display-Settings
Here you should slide the screen area bar to the left. Take a look at the colour settings on the left of that window. For most desktops, high colour 16-bit depth is adequate.
If the screen freezes or you experience system lockups it might be due to the video card. Make sure it does not have a hardware conflict. Go to
* Start-Settings-Control Panel-System-Device Manager
Here, select the + beside Display Adapter. A line of text describing your video card should appear. Select it (make it blue) and press properties. Then select Resources and select each line in the window. Look for a message that says No Conflicts.
If you have video card hardware conflict, you will see it here. Be careful at this point and make a note of everything you do in case you make things worse.
The way to resolve a hardware conflict is to uncheck the Use Automatic Settings box and hit the Change Settings button. You are searching for a setting that will display a No Conflicts message.
Another useful way to resolve video problems is to go to
* Start-Settings-Control Panel-System-Performance-Graphics
Here you should move the Hardware Acceleration slider to the left. As ever, the most common cause of problems relating to graphics cards is old or faulty drivers (a driver is a small piece of software used by a computer to communicate with a device).
Look up your video card’s manufacturer on the internet and search for the most recent drivers for it.
6 Viruses
Often the first sign of a virus infection is instability. Some viruses erase the boot sector of a hard drive, making it impossible to start. This is why it is a good idea to create a Windows start-up disk. Go to
* Start-Settings-Control Panel-Add/Remove Programs
Here, look for the Start Up Disk tab. Virus protection requires constant vigilance.
A virus scanner requires a list of virus signatures in order to be able to identify viruses. These signatures are stored in a DAT file. DAT files should be updated weekly from the website of your antivirus software manufacturer.
An excellent antivirus program is McAfee AntiVirus  (www.mcafee.com). Another is Norton AntiVirus, made by Symantec ( www.symantec.com).
7 Printers
The action of sending a document to print creates a bigger file, often called a postscript file.
Printers have only a small amount of memory, called a buffer. This can be easily overloaded. Printing a document also uses a considerable amount of CPU power. This will also slow down the computer’s performance.
If the printer is trying to print unusual characters, these might not be recognized, and can crash the computer. Sometimes printers will not recover from a crash because of confusion in the buffer. A good way to clear the buffer is to unplug the printer for ten seconds. Booting up from a powerless state, also called a cold boot, will restore the printer’s default settings and you may be able to carry on.
8 Software
A common cause of computer crash is faulty or badly-installed software. Often the problem can be cured by uninstalling the software and then reinstalling it. Use Norton Uninstall or Uninstall Shield to remove an application from your system properly. This will also remove references to the program in the System Registry and leaves the way clear for a completely fresh copy.
The System Registry can be corrupted by old references to obsolete software that you thought was uninstalled. Use Reg Cleaner by Jouni Vuorio to clean up the System Registry and remove obsolete entries. It works on  Windows 98, Windows 98 SE (Second Edition), Windows Millennium Edition (ME), NT4 , Windows 2000, and later versions of Windows.
Read the instructions and use it carefully so you don’t do permanent damage to the Registry. If the Registry is damaged you will have to reinstall your operating system. Reg Cleaner can be obtained from www.macecraft.com
Often a Windows problem can be resolved by entering Safe Mode. This can be done during start-up. When you see the message “Starting Windows” press F4. This should take you into Safe Mode.
Safe Mode loads a minimum of drivers. It allows you to find and fix problems that prevent Windows from loading properly.
Sometimes installing Windows is difficult because of unsuitable BIOS settings. If you keep getting SUWIN error messages (Windows setup) during the Windows installation, then try entering the BIOS and disabling the CPU internal cache. Try to disable the Level 2 (L2) cache if that doesn’t work.
Remember to restore all the BIOS settings back to their former settings following installation.
9 Overheating
Central processing units (CPUs) are usually equipped with fans to keep them cool. If the fan fails or if the CPU gets old it may start to overheat and generate a particular kind of error called a kernel error. This is a common problem in chips that have been overclocked to operate at higher speeds than they are supposed to.
One remedy is to get a bigger better fan and install it on top of the CPU. Specialist cooling fans/heatsinks are available from www.computernerd.com or www.coolit.com
CPU problems can often be fixed by disabling the CPU internal cache in the BIOS. This will make the machine run more slowly, but it should also be more stable.
10 Power supply problems
With all the new construction going on around the country the steady supply of electricity has become disrupted. A power surge or spike can crash a computer as easily as a power cut.
If this has become a nuisance for you then consider buying a uninterrupted power supply (UPS). This will give you a clean power supply when there is electricity, and it will give you a few minutes to perform a controlled shutdown in case of a power cut.
It is a good investment if your data are critical, because a power cut will cause any unsaved data to be lost.

										How many passwords do you have? 5, 10…or just the one that you repeat  for all you accounts? Either way, it’s becoming increasingly important  to make your password more difficult to guess. Just adding a capital  letter here, or a number there makes it that little bit harder for a  hacker to access your personal details.

Here is a list of top 20 passwords that are found by a recent survey from zonealarm. Approximately 79% of people around the globe uses them.
Reason is quite simple, as a human being is quite lazy in memorizing things that he/she thinks is not very necessary to earn something back  . But hackers never mind this laziness as it makes everything like a child’s play for them.
So, now if you find your password here in this list, then I am sure the first you will do after reading this is to change it. And never using such lame passwords ever. Always try to mix up your password with alphabets in both upper case and lower case with numbers and special symbols and that should be minimum of 8 characters long. Then the hacker will surely have a hard time cracking that piece.
Here is the list of favorite passwords all around :

12345
123456
1234567
12345678
123456789
password
princess
rockyou
abc123
Nichole
Daniel
babygirl
monkey
jessica
michael
Ashley
Qwerty
654321
lovely
iloveyou

In addition to these top 20 passwords, a great hint for any youngster’s password is that it will resemble to the last one in this list i.e. “iloveyou” . You can quite easily find a youngster’s password to be anything like:

iloveu
iloveXXXX (Any girl or boy name in place of XXXX of-course of the opposite sex :P)
XXXXlovesme (Any girl or boy name in place of XXXX of-course of the opposite sex :P)
####lovesXXXX (Yours name at #### and your gf/bf name in place of XXXX of vice versa  )

So, always try to stay away from these kind of passwords, otherwise some day you might end up searching something like “My account is hacked what should i do now”on Google.
