Nice article...

Not everyone has the courage to walk the path less beaten. It takes courage to quit day dreaming & 'Just Do It!'. One such path less beaten is 'Entrepreneurship'.


In a nutshell, entrepreneurs are either made or born. If you are a born entrepreneur, you will somehow find your entelechy in doing something that pleases you. It may be making money or making people happy. If you aren’t born an entrepreneur, sometimes situations will convert you into one.

The irony is that in either case, the choice isn’t yours..

Birthday party!!! and got tired... Still stuck with dependency hell!!!

Last night we go for a dinner party given by one my friend (birthday body).
After that I open my ubuntu box...and tried few software I downloaded in the morning...
I trying to install build-essential...but dependency problem.
then tried gcc-4.1.1 still few dependency problem..
make problem.... lynx I think it installed properly but could not able to check...
small post for today..
Yah...today I learned quite cool thing in Legacy system...should I discuss hear??? na na...
but this is cool thing...
How MS ppl ( not ppl but their product) help me getting the job done for me.... :-)

Out of 20,000 record I have to find few policiy (insurance term!!!) and then query few table and find some suitable policy to test... cool thing is not it!!! I know u don't follow me..but still ... for my memory let me explain...the process I followed..
1. Manually..... I tried..tried and tried... I reach 200 policy but found nothing... 1.5hr go in vein..
2 Then write a COBOL program... write it... compile it...stuck during the compile time...some DB2 problem... can't access production table..put all my knowledge here...but 2hr go in vein....
3. My techlead suggest me...Cool:-) From the 20,000 record using some cool techniqui I filter out only the policy I required...How to do this?? I won't tell here..bcoz its useless to talke here...but the tool (SPUFI) can't process 20K row in SQL statement...so I again I tried 400 row at a time... 2,000 row passed no result.....then what:-)
then download the policy file to word document...using inset-> column I could convert to 4 column but while loading to maiframe it is coming as a single row...(also tried to copy in notepad..not working).....then what :-)
copy the 20,000 record to excel...wrote (my techlead) a macro and the thing got done with in 5 minute....as of now I hate excel so much...bcoz I feel this a tool only for manager....but is it?????????
If I know earlier it can save my 5hr of manual work..and still I don't have to ask my tech lead to do it for me......
Bcoz I admire Ayn rand...and one quotation come into my mind...
'Don't Ask people, Don't know what do you want!!!!' ---> this is some thing contradictory...but helps me to decide my self at lot many instatnt....uff!!! going in philosophy...sorry...

bye..

Want to run LAMP server on Xubuntu

Today I subscribe to : sounder, xubuntu-users mailing list and also in ubuntu forum. And post
the following post.

:-) butu is my real name...but my nick name...very less ppl know me by this name...but cool...

Hi All,

I have PIII, 1.13Gz of processor with 128MB SD RAM(later buy another stick of 128MB RAM).

I am still unbale to install Ubuntu. Buts its okay. That is not neccessity. Then I tried Xubuntu it is working fine.

But since it is not pre-installed with LAMP so I have to go for Ubuntu Server edition.

Now I have Ubuntu Server Edition. I am new to Linux but passionate about learning thing quickly. So since a week
or so I am trying to play with commandline. The journey is quite fun :-) as of now.

I could able to play with MySQL, Apache but could not able to test my PHP script. And to be honest I do not have internet
connection in home. And not planning to get one soon. But I want to feel totally web developement under LAMP. But since
server edition lack the GUI feature. So unable to decide whether to stick with it or not.

I know this is not a Server mailing list. But still I post this mail hope to get any response from some where. I don't want rich
GNOME or KDE functionality but just need to get my work done. I am not afraid to work on command line although I am a
new user. But still I want to test the look and feel of my website at the same time want to work on power of Linux.

This is my first in any mailing list. Hope I got some reply and it will encourage me to participate in the community.

Please let me know in case of more clarification required.

Thanks!
Butu

Installation in Ubuntu Server 6.10!!!

Today I learned to install .deb file..its easy...is n't it?? from my home dir or what ever location in the filesystem...
But How?

• go to the dir where ur .deb file is located.... /home/lynx.deb
• then install it
• $ sudo dpkg -i lynx_ubuntu.deb ----> I rename the .deb file name
• But it does not work!!!! dependency problem... libgnutls12....I will find today and try to install

But I could install another software called mtools but what is this I don't know?? long time back I have installed.... process is same as above...here no dependency problem..... so installed smoothly...

Experience with MySQL
$sudo mysql -u root ----> it will go to the mysql prompt
mysql> set password for 'root'@'localhost' = password('newpassword'); --> changing the root password...
then I do some cool sql code...which work smothly like...
show databases;
create database mytest;
create table employee(name varchar(10),aga int);
uff!!! I made a spelling mistake aga for age..in my home also :-)
insert into employee('myname',23);

Cool every thing working fine :-)

Actually the whole day I fed up with working in legacy mainframe what I do for full time.. And in home I experiment what ever intrest to me...
But very lazy person I am....I use to sleep from 12PM to 9AM....9hr....

Last night, while I am sleeping I listen to IPOD one of podcast somebody discussion regarding about ATOM vs RSS in IT conversation I guess......But sleep while listening...and my IPOD keep on playing thru all night...

Bye for now!!!

I could not able to install from my ipod... and for .tar.gz format I think my compiler is not working....still lots of problem... let me solve one by one....

Bye for now!!!

My Experience with Linux!!!!

Ufff!!!!!!!!!
Transition is really COOOOOOOOOOL!!!
I tried everything on PIII, 128MB SD RAM (then I buy another stick of 128 SD RAM) with processor speed 1.13GHZ...
As of now I experienced almost all flavour of Linux Distribution.
Starting with Fedora 6 ... Hang several time during installation but still does not loose hope... If I am not wrong I have tried around 15 times or most probably more. Try to read hell lot of document, discussion forum still no help..
At the same time tried with Suse 10.1... it also hang during installtion...For this also tried several times... with less result..
I could not able to see the face of it...
Then downloaded Ubuntu Desktop same problem...getting shit I/O buffer error....
Then try my luck with few Live CD distribution...
At last able to see the beautiful face of Linux in the style of Mandriva 2007 and try to install it on Harddisk working fine.... But not satisfied...Bcoz I could not able to install Fedora 6...again trying installing Fedora...fails... cool..........Suse 10.1 fails.......... cool........
Then tried with Knowpix it is also not booting for my PC... My life screwed up only installing these pieces of distribution.....
Then bring home Xubuntu.....it work fine..... but I want LAMP on it...how to do it???? don't know....
then I downloaded Ubuntu Server 6.10 (Edgy)....Hell it is completely command line, no GUI... I just transition from Window and command line.... But its okay.... I am not afraid to working in command line....
I will get what I require through command line only...........

Cool!!!

Welcome!!!

I will mainly post few anonymous post here regarding my journey towards achieving my goal.

I have full faith on my ability to prove myself in this crowd. And planning to reveal my identity after I did something. I will write about me during this period as transparently as possible about my struggle or passion to achieve my dream.
