Making Bootable Window 7 USB from Linux

Few days earlier i got my window crashed and it started showing Boot MGR Missing. I needed a bootable window dvd. But acting as an add on to my unfortunate, DVD ROM also got ill. :P
That's why the only option was to make usb bootable. But i found so many tutorials regarding making bootable usb from windows only. From linux i found almost nothing. Then i found a useful tutorial. Here is it:-

Install ms-sys, if it is not in your repositories, get it here. and follow instruction there for installing.

Follow the following instruction:-

Create an NTFS filesystem:
# mkfs.ntfs -f /dev/sdb1
Mount ISO and USB media:
# mount -o loop win7.iso /mnt/iso
# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb
Copy over all files:
# cp -r /mnt/iso/* /mnt/usb/
Write Windows 7 MBR on the USB stick:
# ms-sys -7 /dev/sdb
...and you're done.

Enabling Home Based BSNL wifi on your Wifi Mobile Phones

Few Days Back I bought a new Samsung Wave 525 phone. It is having Wifi I got excited and without wasting any time I enabled its Wifi. My modem Wifi was detected and connected to but even then I was not able to access the Internet. This made me very upset and I started thinking that I wasted my money. After this I started searching the Internet regarding my problem. Earlier I was thinking that problem is due to some settings might not right in mobile phone. But I was wrong Configuration of modem was needed to setup. So I found a useful link that let you setup your modem according to your mobile and then you will be able to run internet simultaneously on laptop, mobile & P.C.

I am having two type of Modems at two different places (one at my home in Ludhiana and another one at Barnala)

Firstly I ll show you how to setup BSNL ZTE Modem:-

Setting up your Computers IP:-

Please make sure to set your IP, Subnet and Gateway along with DNS Server as according:-

1. I.P. = 192.168.1.10
2. Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
3. Gateway = 192.168.1.1
4. Preffered DNS Server = 61.0.0.5
5. Alternate DNS Server = 61.1.96.69 and 61.1.96.71

Making Wireless Connection Secure:-

1. First login to your DSL Router setup at http://192.168.1.1
2. Then on Left Panel Go to Wireless->Security
3. Let SSID value unchanged.
4. Select Network Authentication= WPA-PSK
5. WPA Encryption= TKIP
6. Save and Apply (Let Rest of values remain unchanged)

Setting Up LAN and WAN for Multiple Use:-

1. Again Go to home page of http://192.168.1.1
2. Select Advanced Setup from Left Option Panel
3. You will se the very first connection setting named service= pppoe_0_0_35_1
4. Click on Edit option corresponding to this service
5. Put Port=0, VPI=0, VCI=0 (Rest not changed) then Click on Next
6. Selct Connection type= PPPoE and Encapsulation mode= LLC/SNAP-BRIDGING. Then click on next
7. Now enter the password and username which your ISP provided you. In PPPoE service name you can put anything as I am putting here PPPoE Service Name = dataone. Leave Rest of things unchanged. Click on Next
8. Make a check on Enable NAT, Enable Firewall, Enable WAN Service. Click on Next
9. Cross Check the values you put down and make changes if they have been inserted wrongly. At last Click on Save.
10. After that Come to default page of http://192.168.1.1 and then Go to Management->Save/Reboot. Click on Save/Reboot. It will take around about 2 minutes to restart modem with newly configured settings and thats it. You are now able to run multiple PC on same connection.

Using Wireless Service:-

1. Just On your Wifi in your Mobile or Laptop.

Go Programming Language

The Go programming language is an open source project to make programmers more productive. Go is expressive, concise, clean, and efficient. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, while its novel type system enables flexible and modular program construction. Go compiles quickly to machine code yet has the convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection. It's a fast, statically typed, compiled language that feels like a dynamically typed, interpreted language.

eyeOS in Hindi

In eyeOS 2.0 its translations in different languages will also be available. I also have deployed it in our college. I made eyeOS avialable in our college serevr during my training. And after my training I got an email from Mr. Jordi Collel (Team Leader for Translation of eyeOS). So I came in the contact with the ey

eOS developers and translated all the eyeOS in Hindi. But this translation will be available in is next release. I alone did all the translation for it in Hindi Language. I also suggest my closest friend Parveen to translate it to Punjabi. He did a great job.

Here is the link to use eyeOS at college dummy server. http://202.164.53.116/eyeos/

Just Create a new user here and use it.

and to the translation http://translate.eyeos.org/.See the following image showing the translation done by me that will be available soon to everyone.

This is the task done by me. You can clearly see the contents being displayed.d in Hindi language. So soon you will be also able to view eyeOS in Hindi. It was quite atedious job but yaa interseting too.

Certificate from eyeOS Developers

I also got the Certificate from the Developers of eyeOS from Barcelona(Spain) for doing this translation ion Punjabi and for taking part in opensource Project.Give a Look at my Certificate shown Below.

Barnala Map Ready At Open Street Map

I am feeling very happy to announce that Map of MY Home Town is finally ready (with just few detailing left) after two months. Indeed I took a quite much time but yet I was single person to map the whole districts with one of my student Sukhakashdeep Singh (+1 Inter arts) resident of Barnala too. He helped me a lot while collecting the GPS Data. Before I was doing my project when I made to see my Barnala Map by my mentor Dr. H.S. Rai, I was just shocked to see, not even boundary of city has been drawn earlier by anybody. From that very I decided that I will myself complete this map alone whether one should interested or not to help me. And Finally I got the result. You can clearly See What my Home town was earlier and What it is at present.

MY Home Town Before Mapping Done by me
My Home town After Mapping Done by me :)

So you can clearly see what a lot has been changed in Barnala Map at osm.org. Even the name of city was not displaying earlier. All thanx to my mentor Dr. H.S. Rai who gave me full support and also couraged me time to time. He provided me VGPS (for taking GPS data). And yes also to my Dad, he also supported me a lot. He covered the boundary with me in Car. Yet I am working on streets and all minor details along with some error correction if found. You can also take a look at iframe of my home town as shown below:

Installing GIMP Scripts

First you have to decide if you are going to make this script available for all users as a Global script or just a single user as a local script. If you don't have access to create files in the Global location then you can only install them as a local script.

Microsoft Windows and Linux use different file system structures so they require you to save the files in completely different locations. The default file locations are as follows:

Windows

• User: Download the file to C:\Documents and settings\\.gimp-2.2\scripts
• Global: Download the file to C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\share\gimp\2.0\scripts

Linux

• User:Download the file to ~/.gimp-2.2/scripts
• Global:Download the file to /usr/share/gimp/2.0/scripts

Where did the script go?

Often you have just installed the script and now you can't find it. There are several reasons for this and I will explain how to find the new script.

First, when GIMP starts it reads both the Global and user script locations. So if you have added the script while The GIMP was running you will not see it, yet. One solution is to close GIMP and re-open it allowing it to read and add the new script. Another is to manually tell GIMP to read the script locations while it is still running. To do this just go / Xtns / Script-Fu / Refresh scripts

Ok, GIMP has read the script where do I find it?

GIMP scripts can be placed by the author anywhere they want. The two main locations are in the main GIMP window or in the menus in the Image window.

As a general rule scripts that alter the image are placed on the image menus and ones that create a new image from scratch are placed in the menus on the main GIMP window.
