Ashok, I just subscribed to your blog... I somehow stumbled across it... Awesome. How is Ubuntu going for you?

Ubuntu Experience:
I'm fairly new
About Me:
Hi! I am Ashok Gelal from the land of Mt. Everest, Nepal. I won't say I use Linux regularly but yes I do love to play with Linux and always want to see 'grub' while I boot into my computer. I've a little experience of web site design so I love playing with php. At BSU and in USA, Spring 2008 is my first semester doing Computer Science Majors. I am a die-hard fan of Object Oriented Programming.
Just saw a flier on the Math&Geoscience building about this group so I signed up immediately. I am very supportive for any flavor of Linux. I do like Fedora Linux but have heard lot of Ubuntu. So, soon going to try it. I wanna see Linux being as a productive OS rather than a Always-Tweak-OS. I hope, being as a member of this group, I can play a part to ease the use of Linux for those who are new. Also, I hope I can learn something new from those who are already having Linux under their belts for a couple of years. BTW, English is not my first language so excuse me for any of my inconvenient English. Go Broncos! Go Linux!

#!/bin/bash
VirtualBox -startvm NameOfYourVirtualOS


Replace NameOfYourVirtualOS with the name that you have give… Continue

Tweet your ‘apt-get’! Let Twitter keep track of whatever you install in Ubuntu

Hey folks!
Time for another scripting fest. This time it is lot more useful than something like BSU search plugin. Three sleepless nights and then the outcome is 'tapt', apt that tweets. This script tweets all your 'apt-get' activities to your Twitter account. It can also do some activities which apt-get can't do such as multi-operations with a single command for example installing one application, removing… Continue

BSU Search Plugin for Firefox

Hey folks!
I've just created a small BSU Search Plugin for Firefox. If you want to search anything inside boisestate.edu website, you don't need to open the site. Just search right inside from the Firefox search box. Look at the screenshot below. I've attached bsu.xml file. Put it inside /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/searchpluginsContinue

Yahoo! We need your attention!

One of my friends saw me playing with Compiz-Fusion effects in Ubuntu on Saturday and was pretty much impressed with Ubuntu when I detailed him some more advantages of using Linux OS. He came yesterday with his laptop to get Ubuntu installed. He was more than satisfied with all the things. He was very proud not to be called 'Pirate' any more. His friend had told him that he need to spend a lot of time tweaking Linux OS to work for him; installing library files, install each and every codecs manu… Continue
