gconftool to play with settings

gconf-editor is a very good utility where one can change behavior or setting or preference of any application using click. today I discovered its command line version --
gconftool-2
using this you can set behavior to preference of any application in command line or in shell script.
for example , just after installation of fedora , i use to open Nautilus (the file browser) and open its preference to set it "always open in browser mode" and 'single click to double click' behavior. Same with gedit and other tool to make setting.
But same thing you can perform with gconftool-2 like this..

gconftool-2 --set "/apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_browser" --type bool TRUE
gconftool-2 --set "/apps/nautilus/preferences/click_policy" --type string "single"

do not use sudo,, you are making setting for you and not root.

you can bundle up such command to make your own theme which you can install from shell. (actually i got this idea form here - http://ubuntu.online02.com/files/XpGnome.zip - )

The format is very simple

gconftool-2 --set KEY_NAME --type TYPE VALUE

you need to browse in gconf-editor to know what is key name for a particular setting.

UPDATE :
* gconftool-2 -R will list all the setting. So you can save all initial settings. Like
$ gconftool-2 -R / > save.txt
* Search a given key,
$ gconftool-2 -R / | grep screensaver

First (FOSS) quarter of Delhi

The first quarter of the year 2009 (January to March) will a FOSS quarter for Delhi. we are going to have 3 major events in this quarter. Hopefully all three event will be successful.

• Januray 2009 : LUG@IITD community, will be completing 1 successful year (a huge bundle of activity). So There will be a big celebration in IITD in January.
• Feb 2009 : we will be having Delhi's most well known foss event. Freed.in/2009 at JNU.
• March 2009 : Come again to IITD again with OSSCAMP workshop to get real test of geekness along with the Annual Tech Fest of IITD.
  

seems like south Delhi is highly FOSSified.

JQuery UI - Pixel to Percentage while Resizing

I am working on code where I want to zoom my div-slides , I am able to do this because i am using "percentage" in width , height , font etc style attributes.
But if I try to resize the element using JQuery UI resizable class then it disturb the "percentage" and put pixel over it.
Same thing occur with draggble and other which put final output in "pixel" format.

I would be better if you make all UI component as percentage format.

however I got the workaround to the problem,,
one can add these stop function like

$("#div_box_id_").resizable({
handles: "all",
stop: function (){
var w = ( 100 * parseFloat($(this).css("width")) / parseFloat($(this).parent().css("width")) )+ "%" ;
var h = ( 100 * parseFloat($(this).css("height")) / parseFloat($(this).parent().css("height")) )+ "%" ;
$(this).css("width" , w);
$(this).css("height" , h);
},
dragHandle: true
});

$("#div_box_id_" + self.div_box_number).draggable({
opacity: 0.70,
stop: function (){
var l = ( 100 * parseFloat($(this).css("left")) / parseFloat($(this).parent().css("width")) )+ "%" ;
var t = ( 100 * parseFloat($(this).css("top")) / parseFloat($(this).parent().css("height")) )+ "%" ;
$(this).css("left" , l);
$(this).css("top" , t);
}
});

google code svn on Linux

Open Letter to Indian Patent Office

Dear Sir,
I have a huge problem, With your website. https://124.124.220.66/patentdecisionsearch/

This website is not accessible in Firefox. You are only supporting IE. We Indians are getting a lot of problems due to this. May I ask why you want to give a incompatible website to Indian public.
Do you want Indian public to buy Microsoft Window and IE.

Linux and Firefox are "Free and Open Source" which not only comes into "free of cost" but also their source code is open. Which means anybody can modify and contribute. Its a well proven fact that Linux and Firefox has better security feature then windows and IE.

So please make your website, compatible to Firefox. Also, you DB server sucks every time, If you want developer , OpenSource community is free to work to work for you.

However I have made a script which will enable viewing your website in firefox

First install Greasemonkey addons , https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748 then install my script - http://narendra.sisodiya.googlepages.com/soft_patent2.user.js

Also, I hate software patents. Software patents is sucking Indian market and developers too. This is a indirect way of selling India to Microsoft and such MNC. Please consider our voice.

Thanks

5 Essential Aspects of Educational Content over Internet

I am working on a project for student e-learning platform, from past 6 month, (dedicated-ly from last 1-2 month).

According to my research I am proposing 5 essential aspects or laws for having a "great" ecosystem on education over Internet or any transport media.

1. "Educational contents" should be easy to create and share.
2. "Educational contents" should easy to accessible to whole ecosystem. it should take low bandwidth and should be free of cost.
3. "Educational contents" should be searchable. Note that "contents inside a video/flash" is not searchable,
4. "Educational contents" should be rich in term of contents Ex, text , audio, animations etc.
5. "Educational contents" should be generated and consumed in peer to peer fashion in ecosystem.
   

"All" online education system fails at one or more aspects.

Ex ..
Wikipedia - fails at #4, #1
All stupid ScreenCast, Flash or video based solution fails at all point expect #4 points of richness of content

In order to achieve all 5 aims in a education system, I am trying to make a new approach (better word is obvious approach) and calling it "eduvid system". {Pleases note that this project is in development stage}

for satisfying the
#4 requirement for richness of content ,
#1 requirement of easy to create contents ,
#3 requirement of searchability

I am going with SVG because flash is a stupid idea for education system.
I may use flash only for audio recording under browser as last option because as per audio is concern it do not violet any of the 5 aspects.

Those who want to know more about project - please click here -- http://eduvid.techfandu.org/
currently, I am the only person who is working on it, If you want to work as developer on this project, most welcome,
If you want to help in terms of donations etc , please contact me,

PS1: It matter for countries like India because of #2 point,. of network bandwidth and cost.
PS2: All things are specified on project website. more details will be given via email communication. Please copy idea and implement if possible. I never patent for any idea.

Raphaeljs SVG vs jQuery SVG library

I was confused , what to library to use use ? first I contacted with dmitry but I have not got any response, but then I contacted with Keith Wood (jQuery SVG) , so, here is the response,
as there is no comparison between these libraries. this post will useful
----
Hi Narendra

I haven't come across this package before, but from a quick look I can provide the following:

• SVG only uses SVG and relies on a plugin for use with IE. Raphael uses SVG or VML as necessary.
• jQuery SVG supports quadratic curves in paths.
• Raphael may provide easier transformation support.
• jQuery SVG provides support for most SVG constructs including title, description, definitions, markers, styles, scripts, patterns, masks.
• jQuery SVG supports filters and animations.
• jQuery SVG provides a basic graphing package.
  

Cheers

Keith

RPM Bundle Packaging System

It should be adding to the user experience when downloading Fedora from
India. So, if one were to look at setting up a Fedora mirror for the
public based out of North India, where should one start looking ?

Instead of repo , You can do something different..(I am already busy with many stuff, for next few month, it is not possible to start for me.)

instead of small small rpm, we separate them into some big chunk of bundle with added configuration, which can be indipedently install on a system without getting any dependency error.
For this we can start form LSB (linux standard base) and make bundle of rpm which are small small (`~~100 MB ) repository for single big software like (Xdisplay , open office , FireFox etc) with all added dependency's on it. So this will be much like distributing software specific small repo bundle which can be directly installed without worrying about any dependency's and somewhat similar to installing exe files. (just click and set the path of installtion)

However this approach will generate a lot of redundancy in term of space, But who cares, a 2GB software will take 10 GB or 20 GB but it will become a distributable unit much like old D:\Software directory , which was having all sort of pirated software (a gift of from my PC assembler at that time).

This sort of packaging is possible ,,,,
may be in near future in I will give a try to produce this sort of bundle so that /media/software drive will become transferable/shareable unit,

Real Full Screen Browsing in Firefox

I will tell you the how you can enjoy full screen browsing mode in forefox

* Install fullscreen addon --> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1568
* Install ctrl+tab --> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5244
* Install Firefox showcase --> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1810

restart and go to "tools -> addon -> firefox showcase -> options" , check the "full screen" in window attributes :

Now for browsing in full screen mode
* Press F11 , if you press in again it will cometo normal mode
* while browsing for a new tab press -> "Ctrl + T", you will get a blank screen,
* To open a new url press -> "Ctrl + L" and type the url then press "Enter"
* To go to next and previous tabs use "Ctrl +Tab" and "Ctrl + Shift + Tab"
* To view all tabs for navigating to any one use "F12"
* To view all tab for stylish navigating and search use "Crtl + Shift + A"

Now you know how to browse in "totally full screen mode"
It will take some day to adict for this new interface , but believe you will become addicted to it.

please know all keyshortcuts , otherwise you will feel helpless in full scren mode and after small furstation you will press F11 to say goodbye to "full screen modebrowsing"

I have given minimum suficient shortcut for navigating and doing the things.
Hope you will enjoy this..

Most annoying feature in Acrobat Reader.

I always use KPDF in Linux box. For some reasons I am using Acrobat Reader. with KPDF in can view pdf in full screen mode with continuous scrolling mode. But In Acrobat , full screen mode is only available with "single page display mode". When I scroll in full screen mode using down arrow in Acrobat using down arrow key, the new page suddenly appears. This is most annoying ,
I tried a lot to do with settings.
Can we set it as "full screen mode with continuous scroll mode in Acrobat" ??

LIM : who will mix make it ?? ( latex and ipaper on mediawiki )

Just as a idea, Here i am proposing for a best tool in the collaboration world, Lets call it LIM
Actually i like wiki syntax and mediawiki because it gives me a nice text based editing program where you can collaborate and see your document preview,

I like latex also become it gives you best of typesetting feature
So instead of wiki , developer should make a partial WYSIWYG editor (of course on web) which take best of wiki syntax and latex syntax.

Next when user click on "show preview" it will convert it to pdf and then automatically upload or scribd for ipaper conversion , ipaper is best at present for seeing document file on web browser. after converting to ipaper user will be able to see ipaper as embedded document.

Only disadvante of this tecnique is -- this system will be slow unless a high processing is done at server side.

with ipaper, user will be able to user javascript api for ipaper

Equations of Motion

Hi, most of the time I found incorrect equation of motion for classical mechanics with constant acceleration. So here are the correct equation in vector format with removing all assumptions.

Deriving the equations in vectors

• All constant are taken in capital letters
• All variable are given in small letter

Deriving v(t) = U_i + A (t - T_i)

so

for zero or constant acceleration A we have

we have one unknown K , we need to consider initial or final condition

• Lets take initially we have

ie

eq ... (1)

If we take final condition in consideration then ie :

eq ... (2)

constant acceleration can be found using initial and final condition

eq ... (3)

Deriving s(t) = S_i + U_i(t-T_i) + (1/2)A (t - T_i)²

now we have

for eliminating K we need either final or initial condition ie

eq ... (4)

If we would have taken final condition ie then

eq ... (5)

Taking t = T_f and putting eq (3) in eq (4) , we will get

Or

eq ... (6)

Deriving |v(t)|² = |U_i|² + 2 A . (s(t)-S_i)

taking case for final velocity

eq ... (7)

or

eq ... (7)

Teenages Geeks of India

Hi,

Here is a google group for Indian teenagers geeks
Do join if you are below 18 year and a geek / hacker / nerd

Jabber Shell

jabsh (Jabber Shell) - the program for the remote computer management on the protocol XMPP. Designed for use in situations where the use of SSH is not possible. For example ISP uses NAT and / or IP of gray list - dyndns.org unable to assist in this case. As a client on the side of the administrator fit any Jabber client (mcabber, Kopete, Bombus etc.)

For jabsh work you need access to any jabber-server on which you can register two accounts. For jabsh you do not need external IP, tunnel or ssh.
For jabsh you need a separate JID (JSJID) to which you will send shell-commands, and with whom you will get command output. For JSJID you must specify the password in config (Passwd). JSJID should not coincide with your main JID!! Your primary JID is administrator JID (Admin). Password of administrator JID for jabsh do not need!
For each JID'a need to specify the resource. If the resource of administrative JID in config does not coincide with the current resource in your IM-client, the jabsh will reject all commands which you sent from this IM-client, even if admin JID in config and your JID match.
When you send a shell-command to jabsh JID, the program checks your JID and resource to coincide with the relevant data in its configuration file. If they do not match - you get error message; jabsh prevents administrator about attack and write to a log-file record about this event. If they (JIDS) match, the received shell-command is execute (if it is waiting for input from the user, then jabsh waiting forever for it to finish:)). The output of the command is sent to the JID of shell-command sender.

Brother try to explore the things

Hi,, brother do feel bad,, about the amusement at night time

In computer,, 1st thing you need to know,,is ,,, this is not a tool to memorizing,,,,to learn,, how to do this,,,

you need to learn to "EXPLORE" the thing, by your own,,,there are not specific instruction to learn the tools and technology,,,
the only way to do it,, explore,,

whenever,, you open a application,,,or program,, try to go with menu's,, options,,and all other thing,, the explore the other things,,,
you need to put your logic as well,
you need to correlate the things,,,

you need to look to the website,, like sourceforge.net to look many softwares which are available for use, and try to explore the things,,
Do not just amazed by anything,, which happen to Internet you can also do it,,
If you are reading somebody's blog , you should be think,, i can also do it,,
if you have observed then there was a link,, at the top of my blog "Create Blog" , but you have not explored,,otherwise you would have made your blog also,,

Eduvid : web based vector whiteboard

Hi,,, I am currently involved in Eduvid project,

see at http://sites.google.com/e/techfandu.org/eduvid/Home
Here is the description about project

--
Eduvid stands for a Free and Efficient Method for Whiteboarding to generate Vector based Educational Videos. We have not completed this project yet.

The Idea

At year 2008, we use notebook & pencil to take notes at class in teachers use the whiteboard to teach us. Think if we have a very low cost electronic pen and electronic whiteboard. We want to make a low cost (in context of hardware, software will be GPL ) technology where anyone can create the video using this electronic whiteboard.
Suppose I have learned something, lets say C++ language, so say some concept, in 10 Hours. I can explain all the stuff in 1 hour. It means I have wasted 9 hour by using trivial method of learning. in "from student for student" method of study we expect each student to help other student by sharing our knowledge and understating. For explaining the tech-stuff in that one hour I need a notebook and pencil. But by this way only those will get benefit which are near to me.
If I have a recording camera then i will love to record the whole one hour but this have following restriction

• very few student body has recording camera
• very large bandwidth is consumed by raster graphics based video. videos will not reach to the cities villages of India which have very small bandwidth.
  

This gives us inspiration for a web-based lecture/presentation recording tool, both in software and hardware so that a huge amount of vector graphics based educational videos can be created by the whole student community.

Feature List

• Software will in web mode - which will be having a Full Screen canvas where use can
• Draw any diagram using free hand - pencil + eraser
  
• Draw basic shapes & curve in 2D or 3D, arrows, block diagrams, table and all essential things which a teacher/student do on whiteboard
  
• Write Text
• It will be much better if it convert free hand written text into actual text in some defined fonts.
  
• On Eduvid Website a Teacher or Student need now to create all content while delivering lecture, he/she can upload a Presentation, Images etc in SVG format before delivering lecture
• There have to a microphone which will record the sound.
• So in nutshell we want to create a "web based Recording of Lecture or presentation"
• We want to use a vector graphics
• Hardware should be very low cost and should physical replace the mouse and should comes within 500 Rs

Google wiki bad features - Jotsopt

here is a list of bad features of google wiki sites.google.com

1) a normal user cannot have a google wiki (sites)-- not onlya single one,, I was having 2 domain so I can use and make 500 users for google wiki but normal user cannot use it like google page craetor

2) a google apps administrator have to create a account for you ,,then only you can take part in google wiki,, its not like mediawiki,, a) unlimited user over database,,b) automatic user account creation------, i cannot even transfer my webiste over google wiki as i have 500 user limit,,, and -- it simpley means -- limited collaborations

3) on the very first page it was asking a mail id of my domain ---(might be inspired from Microsoft for useless user interface)-- i was not having any mail id association on my domain and i afraid that how i can crate an account,, then i typed some-name@my-domain.com then sites.google deleted some-name and started making proper steps for my-domain.com...
I am not even getting -- why they asked me for mailid,, they can even,,ask me for direct domain name--

4) the bad things about the sites.google.com following...
see after redirection
http://sites.google.com/a/example-domain.com/wiki-name/Home
should be displayed as
http://wiki.example-domain.com/wiki-name/Home
I have made complete CNAME setting,,
after typing
http://wiki.example-domain.com/wiki-name/Home
is automatically converting to
http://sites.google.com/a/example-domain.com/wiki-name/Home

5) I have given some account to users and they are able to create their sites and they set permission as " domain user can view it and not edit" but still I (the administrator) am able to edit and make changes -- administrator can override their setting...
* It means you can not have fully private wiki -- (fully private wiki is esay personal site make tool) I use mediawiki (wiki.techfandu.org) as my personol wiki to make my all classroom notes online,
* It means that --suppose if i am boss of a company then I should become site administrator and make user and set changes-- and create sites-- if not i should give this duty to one person -- (let IT manager) and now he can fuck my page in the way he want,,, It does not even having level of administration --
* If I am having a organization then I will like to go with FREE drupal or similar things for these things,,

6) If a person is changing some page,, where he can make a small summery of changes,,,,
7) I am unable to see uncategorized sites,, though i am admin ... :( , how i can track , who is creating which site ??
8) tell me where is site export button
9) tell me how much storage has left on my account

They have made a new google app product -- and product is inspired from wiki but It is not a exactly wiki
