First Google Wave Firefox Add-on - Google Wave Notifier

2009-11-29T08:48:00.006+05:30

Google Wave is an online tool for real-time communication and collaboration. A wave can be both a conversation and a document where people can discuss and work together using richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.

What is a wave?

A wave is equal parts conversation and document. People can communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.
A wave is shared. Any participant can reply anywhere in the message, edit the content and add participants at any point in the process. Then playback lets anyone rewind the wave to see who said what and when.
A wave is live. With live transmission as you type, participants on a wave can have faster conversations, see edits and interact with extensions in real-time.

Google Wave is still available only to some lucky users,but the buzz around it is huge. Now first Google Wave related Firefox add-on is available.

It’s called Google Wave Notifier, and it has a simple function.It sits at the bottom right of Firefox and notifies you about new wavelets in your inbox.

Of course, to be able to use it, you need to supply a Google Wave username and password.
I hope Google Wave Notifier should be useful.

Google Chrome Os and Canonical Joins Hand

2009-11-22T20:54:00.003+05:30

When Chrome OS was announced in June we saw this as a positive development, bringing choice to the consumer. We considered how open source development is as much about co-operation as it is about competition. Google have made it clear that they are keen to develop Chrome OS openly and we have had the pleasure of hosting a number of the Google team at the Ubuntu Developer Summit in Dallas over the last few days where we have been able to see that openness in action.

In the interest of transparency, we should declare that Canonical is contributing engineering to Google under contract. In our discussions, Sundar Pichai and Linus Upson made it clear that they want , wherever feasible, to build on existing components and tools from the open source community without unnecessary re-invention. This clear focus should benefit a wide variety of existing projects and we welcome it.

On the consumer side, people will ask about the positioning of Chrome OS and Ubuntu. While the two operating systems share some core components, Google Chrome OS will provide a very different experience to Ubuntu. Ubuntu will continue to be a general purpose OS running both web and native applications such as OpenOffice and will not require specialised hardware.

So 2010 looks set to be a very exciting year. In addition to delivering Ubuntu experiences with both existing and new OEM partners, we will be working with Google on Chrome OS based devices.

Chris Kenyon VP of OEM Services, Canonical

Google Chrome OS Promises a 3-Second Boot

2009-11-22T20:29:00.005+05:30

Sundar Pichai, vice president of product management at Google, announced on November 19th the immediate availability of the source code for their upcoming Chrome Operating System, under the name of Chromium OS. The actual Chrome OS, as Google said, will be released sometime at the end of 2010, one year from now, and it will be available at first for netbooks and, later on, high-end machines.

With this source code freely available for download, various developers can get involved in the project, by creating applications, patches, etc. In other words, from now on, the development of the upcoming Chrome OS will be done transparently.

"There is still a lot of work to do, and we're excited to work with the open source community. We have benefited hugely from projects like GNU, the Linux Kernel, Moblin, Ubuntu, WebKit and many more. We will be contributing our code upstream and engaging closely with these and other open source efforts." - was stated in the official release annoucement.

OK, so please enjoy the official, 1 hour and 20 minutes long "Google Chrome OS Open Source Project Announcement" video, in high-definition!

So, here's what we've learned about the Google Chrome OS until now. Under the hood, it will be powered by the Linux kernel (version 2.6.30 in the current source code archive) and a customized firmware, it will have an Ubuntu base (yes, Karmic Koala actually), EXT4 file system and the revolutionary Google Chrome web browser. But the best part is that Google's Chrome operating system will be so optimized, that it will start in no more than 3 or 4 seconds (depending on the hardware specs of the machine).

What one needs to know is that Chrome OS will be designed especially for netbook users, people who spend most of their time on the Internet, writing e-mails, chatting, listening to music, playing videos, creating office documents or playing games. Users don't have to install or update any application at all. All the "action" will take place in the browser, on the Internet. And, above all that, nothing will be stored on the hard drive! Did we forget to mention that it will be the most secure operating system ever? Read below what the the developers behind the Google Chrome OS have to say about this.

"Unlike traditional operating systems, Chrome OS doesn't trust the applications you run. Each app is contained within a security sandbox making it harder for malware and viruses to infect your computer. Furthermore, Chrome OS barely trusts itself. Every time you restart your computer the operating system verifies the integrity of its code. If your system has been compromised, it is designed to fix itself with a reboot. While no computer can be made completely secure, we're going to make life much harder (and less profitable) for the bad guys."

Below are two more videos to better understand how Google Chrome OS will work and how fast it will be.

SciTE - A free source code editor for Win32 and X

2009-11-22T20:01:00.004+05:30

A Very Good Alternative To Notepad
SciTE is a SCIntilla based Text Editor. Originally built to demonstrate Scintilla, it has grown to be a generally useful editor with facilities for building and running programs. It is best used for jobs with simple configurations - I use it for building test and demonstration programs as well as SciTE and Scintilla, themselves.

Text editing in SciTE works similarly to most Macintosh or Windows editors with the added feature of automatic syntax styling. SciTE can hold multiple files in memory at one time but only one file will be visible.

SciTE's initial configuration only allows one file to be in memory at once but this can be modified by changing the value of the buffers property.Rectangular regions of text can be selected in SciTE by holding down the Alt key on Windows or the Ctrl key on GTK+ while dragging the mouse over the text.

There are two panes in SciTE, the editing pane and the output pane. The output pane is located either to the right of the editing pane or below it.Initially it is of zero size, but it can be made larger by dragging the divider between it and the editing pane. The Options | Vertical Split command may be used to move the output pane beneath the editing pane.

SciTE can perform commands to compile or run source files with the output from these commands directed into the output pane.

But my favourite text editor is jEdit-Programmer's Text Editor

Secunia Personal Software Inspector

2009-11-19T17:46:00.003+05:30

Keep All Your Softwares Up-to-date:
One of the best ways to protect your PC is to keep all your software up-to-date. Patching over security holes blocks online attackers who like nothing more than exploiting old software flaws to surreptitiously install Trojans and other malware.

The free Secunia Personal Software Inspector makes it easy to find and fix old programs on your PC, even those that lack automatic update features. It scans your computer to find out what versions of what software you have installed, and it reports on which might contain known security holes.

But the excellent app doesn't stop there. Secunia PSI also provides clickable links to download available patches or program updates, which makes updating most software a snap. Other helpful icons can open the program's folder, bring up online references for any security advisories, and perform other useful tasks.

Less technical users can opt for a simple interface mode that lists only easy-to-patch software. But it's worth trying the advanced interface, which displays a wealth of information about your installed software. The latest version includes a handy "Secure Browsing" tab that reports not only on your browser version(s), but also on any plugins, ActiveX controls, Firefox add-ons and other extras.

List Of HTML ASCII Reference

2009-11-08T21:59:00.009+05:30

The ASCII Character Set
ASCII stands for the "American Standard Code for Information Interchange". It was designed in the early 60's, as a standard character-set for computers and hardware devices. ASCII is used on most microcomputers, computer terminals, and printers. In addition to printable characters, the ASCII code includes control characters to indicate carriage return, backspace, and the like.

ASCII assigns a decimal number to each letter of the alphabet (both upper- and lower-case), as well as to the numbers from 0 - 9, and most punctuation signs. Each of these decimal numbers are then transposed into binary for processing, and the end result is a standard code for information exchange.The character-sets used in modern computers, HTML, and Internet are all based on ASCII.
The following table lists the 128 ASCII characters and their equivalent HTML entity codes.
