digital फ्रेंडशिप डे

आज फ्रेंडशिप डे है , ३ दिन पहले एक मित्र का sms आया तो मालूम पड़ा ( साल भर कुछ बात करे न करे फ्रेंडशिप डे के २-३ दिन पहले sms forward जरूर करता हे , आज के दिन ही क्यूँ नहीं करता आप सभी जानते हैं , खैर याद तो किया ) . आप सभी को भी digital फ्रेंडशिप डे की शुभकामना . अरे भाई अब हमारा हर उत्सव digital ही तो हो गया है . फ्रेंडशिप बैंड की जगह अब उसकी फोटो में ही tag कर या फिर उसे sms में ही बना के भेज हम संतुष्ट हो जाते हैं . आज का दिन एक उत्सव के बजाय एक फोर्मलिटी या फिर एक टेंशन भरा दिन ज्यादा होते जा रहा ह़े . जरा गोर फरमाए -

• आज sms न आये तो हम मन ही मन अपने दोस्तों को सुवचन सुनाने लगते हैं .
• ज्यादा sms से inbox फुल हो जाए तो मेसेज डिलीट करना का टेंशन
• कंही मेसेज आ जाए तो reply करने का टेंशन
• उसी का मेसेज उसे ही फॉरवर्ड नहीं हो जाए ये तो सबसे बड़ा टेंशन होता ह़े.

sms आने पर उसे पड़ने के बजाय उसे क्या reply करून इसमें हमारा ज्यादा ध्यान होता ह़े . भाई हमारी दोस्ती सौदागर के दादा वीर और राजेश्वर की तरह तो नहीं कि आज sms नहीं किया और ४० साल के लिए दोस्ती में दरार आ जाएगी . न ही आज का दिन valentine डे कि तरह है कि साक्षात् प्रेम देवता आज धरती पे प्रकट होते हैं और आज प्रोपोसे कर दिया तो ऐश्वर्या राय भी हाँ कर देगी .

अगर किसी दोस्त कि याद आये तो किसी फ्रेंडशिप डे का इंतज़ार न करें और तुरंत उसे चिट्टी पत्री , तार , telegram , sms , फ़ोन करें ... यकीन मानिये उस दिन कि हुई आप कि बात फ्रेंडशिप डे यानी आज किये हुए sms से कई गुना बड कर होगी .

Pidgin -- God's own chat engine

Pidgin comes as default chat engine with Ubuntu but there are certain problems which I found while using it so here are the Tips & Tricks --

1]Yahoo don't work with pidgin This is because jaunty comes with an outdated version of pidgin & you have to install the new version for it.The easiest way to do this is use Pidgin PPA (so that updates of pidgin would be available directly from update manager).To setup PPA (and eventually enable automatic update), just copy & paste the code available at http://www.pidgin.im/download/ubuntu/ onto the terminal.

2]Enable Water repel notification:- This one is really nice trick & you will have water repels on the corner of your desktop instead of that annoying 'ding' when someone PMs you.This one is a little bit techie but it is worth the effort.You must have Compiz-Fusion installed and running. 2. You must be using a graphics card that supports the 'Water' effect. 3. You must have said water effect and the DBUS plugins enabled in the Compiz Configuration Manage

a)copy the following code to a new file & rename it to waterping.sh

#!/bin/bash
#./waterping.sh 0 0
#If you want to ping the coordinates x0, y0
dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.compiz /org/freedesktop/compiz/water/allscreens/point org.freedesktop.compiz.activate string:'root' int32:`xwininfo -root | grep id: | awk '{ print $4 }'` string:'amplitude' double:1 string:'x' int32:$1 string:'y' int32:$2

b)copy the following code to a new file & rename it to senicon.sh

#!/bin/bash
#requires waterping.sh
WINFO=`xwininfo -root -tree | egrep ' (1[2-9]|2[0-4])x(1[2-9]|2[0-4])\+0\+0' | grep "$1" | cut -d ')' -f 2-`
WIW=`echo $WINFO | cut -d 'x' -f 1`
WIH=`echo $WINFO | cut -d 'x' -f 2 | cut -d '+' -f 1`
WIX=`echo $WINFO | cut -d '+' -f 4`
WIY=`echo $WINFO | cut -d '+' -f 5`
let WAX=WIX+WIW/2
let WAY=WIY+WIH/2
waterping.sh $WAX $WAY 2>/dev/null

B. As root, copy each of the scripts to "/usr/local/bin/" Then, open a root terminal and execute the following two lines:
sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/waterping.sh
sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/senicon.sh

C. Configure Pidgin.
Startup Pidgin; go into the Preferences manager. Under the 'Sounds' tab set the method to 'Command' and type in: "senicon.sh pidgin" (without the quotes.)

Note: credit for this script goes to "cmost" of linuxmint forums

Fun with Compiz

I am posting here a video of what my desktop looks like. This is my first video demonstrating the fun part of Ubuntu & I am really sorry as the video is very dizzy as it was too much to ask from my graphics card. I have removed the Gnome window list & replaced it with Window screenlet. On the top you can see the Gnome - Do dock while at the bottom I have placed Cairo Dock. For Window switching instead of traditional ALT + TAB i am using compiz SCALE window picker with transparent window on losing attention.

Ubuntu Essentials

This is the list of essential softwares & packages you should have with Linux to fully enjoy the experience, of course this is what i feel & you can always suggest me to improve my list. In my further posts i'll try to write about these packages in detail

Let us start with the fun part of ubuntu which i like the most --

1]. Compiz Config settings manager -- This is the most common utility to decorate your desktop , give animation to you windows (please pardon me for my use of the word "Windows"). But i still wonder why Compiz manager does not comes with Ubuntu as a default package you need to download it.

2].Emerald Theme manager -- It gives the X effect to your PC.

3].Cairo Dock -- It my personal favorite Dock available for Linux with lots of cool applets.

4].Virtual Box -- In case you want to quickly use Windows or other distros of Linux.

5].Gnome Do -- Quickly organizes your most used applications on the Dock.

6]. Google Chrome -- Fast and my favorite browser . I'll later post how to install it & enable plugins for it.

7]. VLC media player -- Totem is good but VLC is the best.

Other packages are Ubuntu tweak , Clam Anti Virus (clamav) , Screenlates ....and the list goes on ..

How many do you have ????
