I don’t have any valentine’s story… (hmmm…do I…? ) may be I am not blessed by The Cupid.
For me today is the day to pack-up my stuffs, have a short break over Bangalore…. I am flying to Delhi on a project at our client location by hoping fun since it’s my first assignment as an SAP Implementation, first time flying and first visit to Delhi.
Hey… B’lore I will be back, let me have some chill-out at Delhi.
This post is an excerpt of a discussion happened over a couple of drink at one of my close friend’s apartment. To some of his understandable queries, I mailed him after the fun…
Dai,
Hope you would be interested the following texts and some keywords [highlighted] :)
I just gotta flash of the discussion, which we had at your flat.
“Porting your Application/Software from Windows to Linux”
There are two choices available:
Eclipse with the C# plug-in and MonoDevelop.
Eclipse is now bundled with latest Linux distros these days.
MonoDevelop is not as mature as Eclipse as a complete IDE, but it provides a very tight integration with Mono, auto-completion for all the class libraries, support for various programming languages (C#, Visual Basic, Boo, Nemerle, and ILASM) and a GUI designer specifically designed for Gtk#.
Mind you, Mono’s goal is not to create an exact replica of the .NET Framework. There seems no point in that. Rather, Mono places a high priority on implementing in open source those components that are essential to let applications run on alternative platforms — and Linux in particular. This means that it looks at what features and libraries are required for existing .NET applications to run, and focuses on correct implementations of those.
A dedicated team of engineers at Novell is working on Mono. Mainsoft (NOT a typo) also has a dedicated team working on the project components shared in common. Both companies are highly focused on implementing those parts of the .NET platform that Microsoft has placed with the ECMA standards body.

It’s been a while I put some text here, in fact there were many under the drafts section.
Frequent visitors, may find a little change on the look and feel of my page…classic [blue to black]…eha…???
I went for an up-grade of my wordpress-1.5 to 2.1 (gotta something to fiddle around for today’s night). The upgrade went like a breeze…and I go to bed at 6:00 and some stubs left behind.
Linux is lousy for games, Windows is a memory hog, OSX will force you get a Liberal Arts degree and recycle… but, I digress. We’re here to dispel the myths, not spread them.
By the way, have any Qs like…
. Linux is great, too bad there aren’t any good applications.
. On Linux, you can’t open files other people send.
. Linux won’t allow you to watch your favorite video files.
. Linux doesn’t have a modern 3d desktop like Vista’s Aero or OSX’s Aqua.
…but, if I use Linux I won’t be able to run Word/Photoshop/Internet Explorer/____.
. I can’t play Half Life 2, Prey, or World of Warcraft on Linux

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The draft information technology (IT) policy released by Chief Minister V.S. Achuthanandan here on Wednesday proposes to make Kerala a cradle of knowledge workers. It aims to upgrade the productivity, skill and knowledge levels of the citizen.
The policy stresses that Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) will be used in e-governance projects. Open standards such as Unicode and Open Document Format and Open Architectures will be followed in e-governance projects to avoid total dependence on select vendors. The Government proposed to develop the State as the FOSS destination in the country. It will provide special incentives to companies developing FOSS. The policy says that the State will try to make maximum use of ICT in governance. Taking the Right to Information Act in its true spirit, the Government will take up ICT-enabled programes for efficient flow of information between citizens and the Government.
The Government will make use of all the media tools and emerging technologies to ensure proper communication between the Government and the citizen. The Government will promote the use of Web sites, e-mails and other news communication facilities in various Government and semi-Government organizations.

I have been looking for something like this. No downloads or setting changes necessary. Quick reference sheet on how to type lesser used, but often needed symbols and characters.
Obviously Linux Sys-Admins too!
I feel it’s a good deal shown up by Sandra.
Sandra Henry-Stocker has been administering Unix systems for nearly 18 years. She describes herself as “USL” (Unix as a second language) but remembers enough English to write books and buy groceries. She currently works for TeleCommunication Systems, a wireless communications company, in Annapolis, Maryland, where no one else necessarily shares any of her opinions. She lives with her second family on a small farm on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Send comments and suggestions to sandra@toadmail.com.
New Years celebrations have been going on for as long as 4,000 years. Some historians date them back to the ancient Babylonians welcoming the return of Spring. And New Years resolutions have probably been made throughout these years. While their success rate does not seem to have improved over the millennia, the practice has still not lost its appeal and the beginning of each new year is a time when many people will be thinking about what they want to improve both in their personal lives and in their jobs. So, what are some likely resolutions for Unix sysadmins? Here are a dozen worth considering.

Another Christmas come and gone !!
In March 21, 2006 , Microsoft announced a $500 million business marketing campaign, calling it their “largest ever” :) ….[I guess I have heard a Long Horn long back] It is scheduled to be available for imposition on individual users at the end of January 2007.
The Free Software Foundation (FSF) today launched BadVista.org, a campaign with a twofold mission of exposing the harms inflicted on computer users by the new Microsoft Windows Vista and promoting free software alternatives that respect users’ security and privacy rights.
Where the world goes, the choice is always yours!!
