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.

The way Mike plans things and the way things …

Slice…
Slice notation is one of the powerful feature in python using which can be used for operations like substr, str_reverse etc etc. The slice notation is really powerful for strings. I’m not very sure whether it can be used for other data types. For a string, it can be used as variable_name[start:end:step] If the start and end are equal, then …
