Nokia X3-02 - Enabling Wifi access on FB, Opera Mini app
I recently bought Nokia X3-02, its great touch n type from Nokia.
It has Wifi, 3g/2g to access internet. I love to read twitter, facebook and hindu frequently so this is quite useful for me.
I downloaded FB app and Opera Mini preinstalled. but with both I was not able to access internet.
It was trying to use GPRS which was not enabled on my phone, I was not able to configure Wifi setting.
I discovered it after some efforts.
You go to menu -> Settings -> Configuration -> Personal Settings -> Add New
select Streaming option.
it will create My Streamin.
This is half work done.
Again
You go to menu -> Settings -> Configuration -> Def. Config. sett.
>>choose personal Config.

Ubuntu : Splitting big files in smaller parts using Rar and Joining back(solved)
I wanted to send a big ~40MB doc file via email to a friend. but as we know, there is limit on size of attachment which is 2MB-20MB, varies across different email providers.
I tried to compress file using zip, targz, but size changed minutely. So I remembered some of downloads I get in form of multiple rar files and which get into single file on uncompressing.
I was on ubuntu, I knew thing work smoothly on windows with WinRAR but never uses such thing on linux. I always used zip, tar.gz.
After quick search on google, I got the thing.
Installed rar on ubuntu using;
sudo apt-get install rar
sudo apt-get install unrar ( though unrar is not needed)
To compress file(s) to split rar archive know which directory you want to compress, I used /home as an example
Let me break the above command down
rar - starts the program
a - tells program to add files to the archive
-m5 - determine the compression level (0-store (fast)...3-default...5-maximum(slow))
-v5M - determine the size of each file in split archive, in this example you get files with size 5MB (if you wanted files of 512kB size you would write -v512k)
myarchive - name of the archive you are creating
/home/ - is folder of the files you wish to add to the archive
This worked pretty well for me. but now reverse part was tricky. I tried unrar x *.rar. it didnt work.
someone suggested on forum to use "e" option, so I did
rar e part1.rar
and this single command, picked up remaining 3 parts. and formed original file in a moment.
same works with
unrar x part1.rar
while

Online Bike Insurance renewal for lapsed policy
The is piece of information I would like to share is, in quick:
If your bike insurance is lapsed and you want to renew it, you can do it online using ICICI Lombard. -
I am proud owner of Honda unicorn, which I bought in 2004, first big purchase from my own hard-earned money. I lost my insurance papers somehow and was got caught by police twice and got fined.
so I was desperately looking to renew it, when I enquired with friends and with bajaj, they said I have to go to local insurance office to get it renewed as policy is lost or expired. However after long search, I couldnt find insurance office nearby.
But luckily I had information about my last policy, like date at which it expires and policy number.
ICICI lombard & bajaj offers online renewal.
I tried to do it thru bajaj first but I got stuck somewhere it between and asked to approach local office.
Then I decided to try ICICI lombard, It has very painful user interface, compare to Bajaj allianz, but it did
serve my purpose, I just keep giving information on each page, finally It shown me my premium amount.
https://www.icicilombard.com/motor-insurance/two-wheeler.cms
and was asked to pay. Online payment flow also has trick, they dont have Axis bank listed (I think due to competition) which forced me to use my credit card to pay amount.
and after few moment I got my policy in pdf format, they said , they will send hardcopy to my address but they didnt sent it , still waiting for it.
As of Now, I am using print out of soft copy of insurance.
One of my friend it was costly. but for me, Getting Insurance is biggest thing, Now I can drive freely anywhere in city.
I did third-party insurance for Rs. 730, my bike is 7 years old.

Mac - MySQL - CodeIgniter - Issue (Solved)
My CodeIgnited just stopped working with New MySQL server installed on Macbook, Osx 10.5.
following blog post+some my own tricks, saved my lots of effort to make it work.
Mysql & php configs were missing from system, earlier my system used to work with MAMP.
I copied my-huge.cnf (as my m/c has more than 1G ram) to /etc/my.cnf from /usr/local/mysql/support-files/
I copied existing /etc/php.ini.default to /etc/php.ini and did following changes.
http://drupal.org/node/46300
The version of PHP that Apple included with Mac OS X 10.4.4 has mysql.default_socket set to "/var/mysql/mysql.sock", before it was "/tmp/mysql.sock". They change it for some security reasons I believe.

The binary version of MySQL from mysql.com use "/tmp/mysql.sock" so one has to change.
I choose to make PHP look for "/tmp/mysql.sock" by setting this in /etc/php.ini.
; Default socket name for local MySQL connects. If empty, uses the built-in
; MySQL defaults.
mysql.default_socket = /tmp/mysql.sock
I also tried to go the other way by setting this in /etc/my.cnf.
#Name of the socket file to use.
socket=/var/mysql/mysql.sock

Linux Mint 10 - Sound problem (Solved)
We have installed Linux Mint 10 on one of our machines, I chose Linux Mint because its based on Ubuntu and had impressive UI.
but after sometime, got complaint that sound is not working on it. then I rememberd my year long struggle during my college days to make sound working on Redhat-Athlon machine of mine, which didnt work.
Today no one was using m/c, so I just gave a try to make it work. and it worked.
Here is how.
I searched on google..after frantic search for 10-15 minutes. I got following link
Linux Mint Forum - Sound problem
I followed advice from someone called "mads"
1. Run
$ cat /proc/asound/modules'
The output shows the modules.
0 snd_intel8x0
1 snd_hda_intel
2. Add the following lines at the end of your alsa-base.conf file:
# The next two lines prevent my sound modules from switching
options snd_intel8x0 index=0
options snd_hda_intel index=1
Save and exit. Reboot to make changes take effect
Use AlsaMixer to adjust volume.
for me
$ cat /proc/asound/modules gave
1 snd_hda_intel
2nd step i followed as it is.
alsa-base.conf is resides in /etc/mod-probe.d/
I rebooted m/c and login welcomed me with Sweet Startup Sound!
lekin picture abhi baki hai mere dost.. I played a song in mplayer and it didnt work.
I thought I might need to do something extra. but just pulling headphone jack out and putting in solved the problem.
Music is now enabled on Linux Mint 10.

Whats the Sen's Side?
I smell some conspiracy here. Need to check out Soumitra Sen's story.
Sen courted trouble as Receiver - J. Venkatesan - copied from hindu
For the beleaguered Justice Soumitra Sen of the Calcutta High Court, trouble started in 1983, when the Steel Authority of India Ltd. filed a money suit in the court against the Shipping Corporation of India for sale of Periclase Spinal Bricks lying at the Bokaro Steel Plant.
On April 30, 1984, the court appointed Justice Sen, who was a lawyer at that time, as a Receiver to make an inventory, sell these goods, and keep the proceeds until the case was decided. Between April 1, 1993 and June 1, 1995, he received the sale amount of Rs. 33.23 lakh.
In 1996, though he was entitled to keep only five per cent, Rs 1.66 lakh, towards remuneration, he kept the entire money in a fixed deposit with ANZ Grindlays (which later merged into Standard Chartered) and later transferred it to Lynx India Ltd, a company authorised by the RBI.
On January 20, 1997, another High Court Bench directed Mr. Sen to be the Receiver in another case and to keep Rs. 70 lakh for distribution among workers of Calcutta Fans. But he deposited this amount also in Grindlays Bank. Between May 14, 1997 and August 6, 1997, he issued several cheques to the workers.
On February 26, 1997, he deposited Rs. 25 lakh (from out of Rs. 70 lakh) with Lynx India, which sank. The shortfall was made up by taking Rs. 25 lakh from the SAIL money and depositing it in the Calcutta Fans account
On February 27, 2003, the SAIL filed an application in the High Court asking the Receiver to return the entire sales proceeds and render true and faithful accounts. He failed to do so until he was appointed judge on December 3, 2003.
On August 3, 2004, the High Court appointed a new Receiver, without asking Justice Sen to refund money lying with him till then.
Subsequently on February 15, 2005 when the matter was posted before another judge, he issued notice to Justice Sen for return of the money. On June 30, 2005 after the High Court ordered an enquiry, it came to light that Justice Sen, as Receiver, never filed any accounts, though he was required to do so every six months.
On November 1, 2005 he deposited Rs. 5 lakh. On April 10, 2006, the court directed him to repay Rs. 57.65 lakh, which included an interest of Rs. 26.26 lakh. Justice Sen went on leave and on his return, he was not allotted judicial work. Between June 27, 2006 and September 5, 2006, he repaid Rs. 40 lakh and on November 21, 2006, he repaid the balance amount.
On September 25, 2007, a Division Bench quashed single judge's order and expunged remarks. The Bench held that there was no material to hold that Justice Sen had misappropriated any amount or made any personal gain.
But on a report from the then Chief Justice of the High court, the then Chief Justice of India K.G. Balakrishnan formed a three-member committee to probe the charge
In February 2008, the in-house committee, found Justice Sen guilty of breach of trust and misappropriation. It said he did not have any honest intention since he mixed the money received as Receiver with his personal money. There was misappropriation, at least temporary, of the sales proceeds.
Acting on the report, he was asked to resign or to seek voluntary retirement, but he declined.
In August 2008, the then CJI, K.G. Balakrishnan, asked Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to initiate removal proceedings against Justice Sen for his misconduct.
On February 27, 2009, 58 MPs of the Rajya Sabha moved a motion seeking Justice Sen's removal.
On March 4, 2009, the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha appointed a probe panel headed by the then Supreme Court judge, B. Sudershan Reddy.
On September 10, 2010, the committee held him guilty on two counts — misappropriation of money and misrepresentation of facts to the High Court — and recommended his removal.
On August 18, 2011 the Rajya Sabha voted the resolution to remove Justice Sen.

Jungle Tourism Should Stop!
Last weekend I visited Kanheri caves at National Par, Borivali Mumbai.
It was great to visit this spot in the Monsoon. Great view of Real Forest amidst Mumbai which is known to have Jungle of Concrete. It was amazing to see so many Caves in such interiors of Dense forest. One does not stop wondering about people, who carved these beautiful caves and managed to Stay with Tigers and wild beasts aroung.
But something was not great! which is crowd of Mumbaikars Gathered there to Enjoy the monsoon and Small Waterfall near caves. With this beauty around, Indian Junta who dont miss to create a crowd at any chance provided, Why will they spare this Spot.
While watching the Monkeys sitted on tree branches, I felt the rage amongst them, some scared, some aggressive staring helplessly at Vehicles, Crowd of People who encroached on their own piece of land. These animals are owners of jungle, with curious tourists visiting these, What they want is just enjoy the beauty of the space, Click some pictures of their own, to get some instant fame on their Facebook Walls or some just to have fun in Wild.
How it will feel to you if you asked to stay in a home made of Glass and have people around you watching all your movements.
Todays NDTV showing some guy fighting to stop Tourism in jungle. Though It brings lots revenue for Forrest department to maintain jungle well, Tourism is helping to increase pollution in jungle, killing many creatures under vehicles.
I Support this unknown guy in his Cause,
Please Stop this Jungle Tourism!
In the words of Ravindranath Tagore
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let "our jungles" awake.

Linode - RAM, Disk resize, Linode upgrade
We are using linode.com for hosting. So far they have provided very good service and support is quick.
We started with basic version of Linode380. and as we are getting more load on server we wanted to increase capacity.
There are multiple ways to increase capacity..
1) We can buy extra RAM/Hard disk.
2) We can upgrade to New Linode.
3) Buy One more linode and redo setup on new linode.
We chose 3rd option as 1st was costly and in 2nd one, we are not sure abt what will happen to our data in upgrade process.
also we wanted to upgrade our Operating system also.
After that we experimented some things on Old Server, here are observations..
1. Resize RAM (in case you upgrade only RAM)
You just need to reboot your system. You will see extra RAM added after reboot.
2. Resize Disc
no data loss and downtime 5min, system need to shutdown, then you resize disk and reboot. After reboot, you will see disk capacity increased.
3. deploy New linux distribution
We have Ubuntu 9 server installed, We wanted to use Ubuntu 10.04, after deploying new distribution, it automatically created partiition and deployed new Ubuntu there. We have our old data intact in old deployment.
4. upgrade from 512Linode to 768Linode # TBD on 15/07/2011
1. System shutdowns
2. Auto Migration of OS happens - it takes around 5-10 minutes for full migration. Data remains intact. but better have backup
feel free to ask if you need clarification on any point.

Cat5-Cat6 difference
The most obvious difference is their transfer capability. CAT5 has four pairs of twisted copper wire and supports up to 100m of Fast Ethernet (100Mbps) transfers. Although CAT5 has four twisted pairs, it only makes use of two pairs. CAT6 also has four pairs of twisted copper wire which supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) of up to 100m. Unlike CAT5, CAT6 takes advantage of all four pairs. CAT6 has a 2x transfer rate compared to CAT5 but due to the higher price tag of CAT6, it isn't used alot yet.
There is also CAT5e (enhanced). Like CAT6 is makes use of all four pairs but it isn't quite as fast at transferring as CAT6 but does support Gigabit Ethernet so is a popular choice.
There is also talk of CAT7, but thats going beyond your question.
Hope thats of some help.
