Setting up a SMS server using Gnokii

I’ve used gnokii to set up a SMS server in our college as a part of Spider Project. Though I didn’t actually believe that a computer and a mobile phone can be connected when Manas suggested the idea, I coded much for this SMS server later. 😛 So here is the short manual about how to configure gnokii in a …

Google Image Search

I don’t remember who exactly gave me this script. Must be either Verma or Manas, but this one is so cool. The code looks pretty easy and clear, though I didn’t try to understand it completely. So this is what you have to do. Open Google image search and search for some image. If you are lazy to do that, …

Choice…

Choice, my dear friend… You make them and then they take over! Got this as a SMS message from one of my friends in our conversation. Don’t know whether I like it or not, but so true. 😐

CSS

Why should you have a nice design in your web page? Why should you have a good CSS? I got this answer in the spider class. A nice way of telling concepts to the students. “You know Rajinikanth right? Have you seen him without his makeup? He is old, bald, dark and certainly not an “hero” you would like to …

Finally….

This is one of the question you find being asked when browse for around 10-15 minutes. “Your message has not been sent. Discard your message?” from Gmail. “Are you sure you want to navigate from this page? Your message has not been sent. Press OK to continue, Cancel to stay on the current Page” from Gmail “Are you sure you …

Google Maps – Icons

This post is for playing with icons in Google Maps. In the previous post, the last example explained how to add markers when we click on the map. We will try to add custom markers and change the properties of different markers before and after creating them. In the first example, we’ll create a custom marker instead of the default …

Google Maps

I have been using Google Maps for a long time (a nice way to kill time) and now I am using the Google Map API to create my own site (not a nice way to kill time). Was able to start with my work using the sample examples given in the Google Maps site and by trial and error method. …

Winter Project

10 things i have got to say about my project, stay in IIIT, Hyderabad and other things happened during this vacation. 🙂 0. Madhapur is in Hyderabad. Hyderabad is in Madhuapur 1. GTK won’t work. WxWidgets uses GTK. So WxWidgets also won’t work 2. I will never ever wash my plates. I’ll rather go hungry. 3. Canteen is a place …

Windows

Finally installed Windows in my laptop. 🙂 No more kela configuring wifi and other things. If things work automatically in windows, why bang my head so much to make them work in Linux. Can use Office 2007. Don’t know why, but every time i use Office 2007, the urge to install windows increases. I don’t mind calling it the best …

Bash spellchecker

Spell checking in bash is a cool feature which can be added by adding just one line in your bashrc file. shopt -s cdspell That’s all 🙂 Add that to your ~/.bashrc file. If you want to enable this for all the users, then append this to your /etc/bash.bashrc (in Ubuntu) or /etc/bashrc (in Fedora). Of course, you need the …

Mystery…

Not going to chaaaat anything about ‘Life is a mystery. Blah blah blah.’ Have realised it’s more than a mystey. The more you try to understand it, the more weirder it gets. 🙂 Have been seeing Prison Break for the past two days. Managed to finish Season 1 and it’s amazing. The way Mike plans things and the way things …

Anyway this time, i wanted my friends to suggest me a resolution.So had my Gmail status saying “Someone suggest a nice resolution for me.plzz”. And look at the response i …
