Wow!!! Tihar seems to be here.. Dipawali.. is it over already? nah it isn't and I'm reaping all the benefits off this great time of the year...
It's 12:30 well after midnight and as always, I'm not asleep, lots of thanks to Nescafe (Do I get some money for free advertising?). I rarely miss sleep but today we have the often cacophonisc and repetitive sounds of deusi and bhailo. I won't say melodious because that's becoming a rare circumstance. I do remember when I was just a little small when we made a group and went to sing deusi with all the friends. Had so much fun. I do miss those memories and those times. I don't know where all those friends went as I haven't been in contact with most of them. Aaargh.... this is turning out to be really disturbing now...

A simple mjpeg streamer for python

-

I've been working with networking stuffs lately, like XML, parsing and lately streaming. Originally, I wanted to do this for my Android project which is still slightly veiled in secrecy. It will be open sourced completely though, when it matures. So, I wrote this application in an effort to understand the networking behind it and get it to work on Android. Frankly, I am not so good with Java and working with networking stuffs with objects. Everyday I appreciate more of that power though and it's fun to learn new things. I tend to practice with python first and after the proof of concept works there, I do it in Java. It's slightly roundabout way of doing things but it works for me. What this application does is that it takes snapshots of the jpeg files from the server fast enough for making it seem like it's video.. Well, that's what it is anyways. Let's just say I haven't understood streaming and multi part files properly enough to implement. So, basically, ...

How to make your window Full Screen in gnome?

I have often had this problem of getting quite seriously distracted while coding and I always like to use as much screen real state to work on but then again, there are other applications that need it too and it can be a lot of distraction with gmail messages popping up and all sorts of nasty stuff happening. One option is to just go into some other desktop manager but I kind of like solving the problems at hand and gnome does provide me with some really good features that I've become used to. I started wondering if I could make eclipse full screen so that I can just focus on the code and hopefully nothing else. Then I came across this useful link http://www.enigmacurry.com/2007/02/17/gnome-kiosk-mode-make-any-app-fullscreen supposed to be a rant about the feature gnome lacked but updated to add this instruction. There is a nice feature that lets users set keybindings. Here are the steps: 1. Open gconf-editor using the trusty old Alt-F2 combination Now go to /apps/metacity/window...

Viewing firefox status bar in full screen

-
Using firefox in full screen is rather cool but I was missing the status bar which gives a lot of information about the link whenever I hover or whatever is being done by the browser. After digging up a few places, I came to this link in mozilla's site http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Editing+configuration+files about editing configuration files and in particular userChrome.css Used to change the appearance of the browser. userContent.css Used to change the appearance of web pages. user.js Can be used to change various preferences . They are in the profiles folder of your user account. Go to your current firefox profile folder, and into the chrome folder. You should see two files. userChrome-example.css and userContent-example.css, remove the example and add this: /* Make status bars visible */ #status-bar { visibility: visible; } restart firefox. And voila, you have your status bar in full screen.
