Time for some excercise

I have really spent a lot of time today with my laptop posting my thoughts on my blog. I guess its time for me to give my body some good physical activity. So I am going out to play some badminton with my family, hence meet you guys later with my post. Bye for now. Happy burning calories. Krish.

My Baby on the way

My Wife is pregnant and she has entered in to the 7th month of her pregnancy. It is only another 2 months before a beautiful and cute person becomes a part of our wonderful family and we become 3 from 2. I pray to god everyday asking only for my wife and my baby's well being and good health cos they are the precious gift that god has given to me in this life time and I am here to protect and take care of them. They are my life and my reason to live. Krish.

Working hard!

Hi The work pressure really takes the toll on me and makes me tired. I do not have enough time be with my family, post my thoughts on my blog and upgrading my personal website . Weekends are spent researching and finding new business solutions for my startup venture RK Groups (the website is not live) . So probably I will have to keep my adrenaline flowing till I work things out and launch RK Groups and its ventures as soon as possible. Then it will be full time working from for RK Groups. Lets wait and watch what's in store for me in future. I have to work hard and make my plans kick off and make them take shape. Krish.

A change in the topics to be put on my blog

Image
Hi All I have been calling myself a gekk and writing loads of articles on science and technology on my blog. Actually nowadays I maintain two blogs, one my personal and another my website's blog. So I decided that I am going to write and publish articles on science and technology only on my website's official blog, whereas my personal blog will be for me. It will contain all about me and my conversation to the internet and the people out there. So I have decided to give my blog a major makeover. I will be changing the contents, the layout, the theme and also the topics of the articles. From now on my website will contain only about me, me, me and only me. Krish.

Hi All I was looking for an old desktop for a really long time to host the website to which this blog belongs. But the blog was ready and the website was still offline :D. Of course it is an embarrassing situation for every webmaster. But hard work pays off and at last we got hold of an old desktop and hosted our website on it. Now the website is working perfectly fine. Moreover we have been getting really good feedback for our website. hopefully it comes on google search someday. Let's wait and watch.

What is RSS or RSS feed?

Image
RSS (Rich Site Summary) is a format for delivering regularly changing web content. Many news-related sites, weblogs and other online publishers syndicate their content as an RSS Feed to whoever wants it. Example for RSS . RSS solves a problem for people who regularly use the web. It allows you to easily stay informed by retrieving the latest content from the sites you are interested in. You save time by not needing to visit each site individually. You ensure your privacy, by not needing to join each site's email newsletter. To read more about RSS click here. To read how to create your own RSS for your website or blog click here. Krish.

Free Computer Lab and Library

Image
I have planned to start a computer lab and a library with a study hall for poor children. The facilities will be available for children 24X7. The facilities will be totally free for poor children and children from well to do families have pay a fee and use the facilities. The library will have books on various topics for children as well as teenagers. The computers can be used for writing codes, creating new software, listening to audio CDs. Reading e-books, surfing the internet. But to start a center like this requires a lot of investment on a regular basis. Hence I would like to invite you all out there to contribute your might in making this dream come true. If you want to volunteer, you can very well join me. Waiting for your comments and feedbacks. Krish

The fastest way to learn open source

Image
Since Big Money Matt opened up his summer reading list today , let me offer praise to a book, or rather a series of books, that could really change the world. It’s O’Reilly’s Head First series, and it makes the Dummies series read like they were written for Einstein. Tim O’Reilly has taken everything he and his company have learned training people in programming for two decades and condensed it into the format of this series. Even I can learn with it. While I’ve been writing about programming and programmers for decades, I’ve never been able to actually do it. I’m like the sportswriter who can’t hit. But with the Head First Java book I was actually able to compile something, and comprehend the language’s basics on one reading. With a baseball book like this Rick Reilly could get himself some scratch hits off a real pitcher. One of the biggest problems in computing today is the shortage of young programmers, and one of the chief reasons for that is a shortage of re

10 things you should know about every Linux installation

Image
Linux is not Windows, and although there are some similarities, you must realise that there may be a few "new ways of doing things" to learn before you can be comfortable in Linux. Linux is an open-source clone of UNIX, a secure operating system (OS) that predates DOS and Windows and is designed for multiple users. The items in the following list generally apply to any UNIX-based *nix system, such as Linux and the various BSD's. For the purposes of this article, assume that it's all Linux. Here are the 10 things to know: 1. File hierarchy Unlike some other OS's that have a file tree for each drive, the Linux file system is one big tree. At the top you have / (Root) and every folder, file, and drive branches off of this Root. For example, say that you have two hard drives (named a and b ), one floppy drive, and one CD-ROM. Let's say that the first hard drive has two partitions (named a1 and a2 ). In Windows, it would look like this: + hard drive a, p

Seven steps to increase Linux security

Image
Ask a network administrator in any large organisation to compare Linux with network operating systems like Windows NT or Novell Open Enterprise Server, and chances are he'll admit that Linux is an inherently more stable and scalable solution. Chances are he'll also admit that when it comes to securing the system from outside attack, Linux is possibly the most difficult of the three to work with. This perception is not an uncommon one -- many network administrators new to Linux find it hard to transition from a point-and-click security configuration interface to one based on editing complicated and hard-to-locate text files. Most administrators are well aware of the need to manually put in roadblocks and obstacles to trip up would-be hackers and ensure that your company's data stays secure; it's just that in the unfamiliar Linux world, they're not completely sure of their bearings or where to start. That's where this document comes in. It outlines some easy t

Set up a Linux VPN server by following these 10 steps

Image
This article lists the 10 steps you should take to set up a VPN server in a Redhat distribution of Linux. I am assuming you are using a Redhat or Redhat-like distribution. Some of these packages can be grabbed via yum. However, I'm going to have you install them via RPM as you cannot get all of them via yum. If you are not, you will need to get the proper packages. For Debian you can use aptget or search for the .deb. For SuSe you can use Yast or find the distro specific RPMs. 1) Install the DKMS package rpm --install dkms-1.12-2.noarch.rpm http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/poptop/ dkms-1.12-2.noarch.rpm This is dynamic kernel module support. You need this to simplify setup and configuration at the kernel level. This will make almost everything transparent to the user during setup. 2) Install the ppp kernel module rpm --install kernel_ppp_mppe-0.0.4-2dkms.noarch.rpm http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/poptop/ kernel_ppp_mppe-0.0.4-2dkms.noarch.rpm Point to Point Prot

10 things you should do to a new Linux PC before exposing it to the Internet

Image
1: Your purpose Linux, like Microsoft Windows, is simply a computer operating system. When I talk to friends or co-workers who are embarking on the Linux experience for their initial time, this is the first point I stress. Linux in itself is not a magic wand that can be waved and make all sorts of computing problems disappear. While Windows has its own set of problems, so too does Linux. There is no such thing as a perfect or completely secure computer operating system. Will the machine be a desktop computer or a server; purpose is a key to understanding how to initially install and configure your Linux PC. 2: Installation Unlike Windows, Linux does not present itself as a "server" version or as a "desktop" version. During a typical installation of Linux the choice is yours as to exactly what software you wish to install and therefore exactly what type of a system you are constructing. Because of this, you need to be aware of the packages that the installation
