HowTo: Using Exim4 to send messages through Gmail

c00i90wn — Sat, 22 Sep 2007 16:24:32 +0000

Wow a long time passed since I last wrote an article here. I was planning a “HowTo: Start fresh with Windows and don’t lose anything.” but then I stopped using Windows and moved to GNU/Linux instead. Well things have changed and now you have this article instead which actually is an adaptation of the debian wiki page.

How To: Transfer your PuTTY settings between computers

c00i90wn — Thu, 01 Feb 2007 22:47:28 +0000

Quoting what Grant Robertson said in the article and that I share with him:

“PuTTY is tops on the short list of applications I install first on any Windows machine. Over the years I’ve used PuTTY, I’ve installed it on a huge number of computers but I’ve always had one complaint; There isn’t a configuration file I can backup or move to a new machine.”

In case you don’t know what PuTTY is:

“PuTTY is a free software SSH, Telnet, rlogin, and raw TCP client“.- Quoted from Wikipedia

Converting video in linux using ffmpeg and mencoder

c00i90wn — Thu, 01 Feb 2007 14:42:15 +0000

I’ve always looked for a good tutorial on how to convert video from anything to VCD or DVD in an easy way and from CLI and that’s also easy to understand what’s going on. For that matter some time ago I’ve found this article and now I want to share it with you.

Converting video in linux using ffmpeg and mencoder

I also want to add another step that I’ve haven’t found in that article but found to be useful, how to join two AVI together. It is a simple command if you have transcode installed (If not you can install it in a Debian based distro with sudo apt-get install transcode).

avimerge -o outputFile.avi -i inputFile1.avi inputFile2.avi .. inputFileN.avi

That’s it! Have Fun!

Open the Start Menu
Click on Run… to open the Run Dialog.

Enter the following command:

RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\inf\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

and hit OK.

Update Wordpress in 5 easy steps.

c00i90wn — Sat, 27 Jan 2007 22:27:00 +0000

After Wordpress 2.1 came out I was a little bit keen about updating it but after finding this article I thought I would give it a try and it’s now working flawlessly so I thought I could post about the article to give the author some credit.

Install Tracks on Ubuntu or Debian

c00i90wn — Sat, 16 Dec 2006 05:43:36 +0000

This time we are going to learn how to install Tracks, a Getting Things Done™ implementation, that I use it and like a lot. We are going to install it on an Apache2 web server with FastCGI, using MySQL as the database engine, and of course we also have to install Ruby On Rails because it is a requirement of Tracks. I think the best thing would be use Subversion to get the sources of Tracks because doing it so would make upgrading the installation a snap.

Note: If at any time it asks for something and I don’t specify something is because default option is the safe bet.

Compile Psi on Windows

c00i90wn — Thu, 07 Dec 2006 03:35:11 +0000

This HowTo is not for newbies!

In this post I’m going to explain how to compile the development Psi version for everyone that likes to live on the edge. Psi is a multi-platform jabber client, that in my humble opinion is the best one out there. It provides with most of the features that jabber can provide, it’s almost fully customizable to your own needs (if you aren’t afraid of editing some xml) and most important of all it has good, kind and active developers! What else can you ask for?

So if you are still reading this you might want to get started, don’t you? Let’s do it step-by-step, shall we?
