BSNL EVDO on Ubuntu-9.04 made easy! It is time to knock off all your skepticism about using GNU/Linux; it is equally (if not better) equipped to meet most of the general purpose computing requirements for an average user. Believe me, I have been using Ubuntu-9.04 on my laptop, and till now I have not come across a situation which forces me to have another OS, say MS Windows. Here is one more reason to reinforce my belief. Time to be updated, all those steps are not required any more. You will find the co...

thoughtBook: Avatar : A Dreamwalk
http://aganoop.blogspot.com/2009/12/avatar-dreamwalk.html
Avatar : A Dreamwalk. It is difficult to remember when awake, what you have seen in a dream. Dreams used to be like some animated movies having a mix of realist images with distorted, in multi layered, extra colourful backgrounds and sometimes abstract shapes doing wonderful, weird acts. That's how my dreams have been, and I believe it is so for others too. And why am I talking about dreams here? Yes, a must watch (in theatre ; that ambience is very much required). These things are taken in cleverly from...

thoughtBook: Anti-Corruption Episode
http://aganoop.blogspot.com/2011/04/anti-corruption-episode.html
Today I received a lot emails, asking me to forward them to support the cause! While expressing the support to. On this issue, I would say the way it is generally handled by our media sometimes kind of over-simplifies the whole issue. It really surprises me when this is being propagated by Anna Hazare and the new leaders as a 'non-political' event! Why are we afraid to vote out 'corrupt' politicians and give a chance to the 'non-corrupt' ones? Oh, not that easy - isn't it? അനൂപ് : anoop.

Export the mobile contacts to excel sheet. Http:/ blog.cone.be/2010/01/06/convert-a-wammu-backup-file-to-a-csv/. So, here are my steps:. 1 Create a backup of your phone contacts using Wammu, let's call the file Wammu.backup. This file is a binary file, but can be viewed in any standard text editor like vim/emacs. 2 Open the file using an editor which supports saving text in ASCII or unicode UTF-8. I use Gedit. Save the file as ascii or utf-8, as Wammu.txt. 4 Rename the file into ConvertMe.txt.

thoughtBook: BSNL 3G on Ubuntu rocks
http://aganoop.blogspot.com/2010/10/bsnl-3g-on-ubuntu-rocks.html
BSNL 3G on Ubuntu rocks. One more (much delayed) post on my experiments with Ubuntu. Earlier I had written. On how easy was to setup BSNL EVDO device with my ubuntu laptop. And this time it is BSNL 3G connection. On Ubuntu, and it as been delightfully easy to setup. And the SIM card just costs Rs.59/-. I bought a Huawei USB modem which was instantly regonized and setup by my Jaunty. You can find the details of your modem by lsusb command on the shell, it should print the modem details, in this case Huawe...

One more reason to post! This news will not surprise anybody who keeps a watch on what Google has been doing! The official announcement of "Introduction of Google Chrome OS". At the Google blog.

With probably lot more features - that s the Google way, we know. Here is what I think it might. Isn't Google addressing the most common need of majority of computer users - int...

Here's some thing interesting on Multilingual Computing again. There is a Unicode Conversion Gateway for Indian language newspaper sites and server side transliteration tool available. I found this info on Indlinux blogs. Oops i am a bit late, still clipping it here again. (They did this Sept 06) Great! If your browser has Unicode support, you can view newspaper sites which use their own proprietary fonts in Unicode. See it here! Also you can do transliteration of a Unicode page. അനൂപ് : anoop.
