RSS reader@PHP

My one of the friends wanted me to Implement a Web based (non- database driven ) RS feeder , Ultimately the Php rss parser magpie came to my mind. I have heard about it but never got chance to get my hands dirty on it.
So here i was downloading and Configuring Magpie on my site , This Turned out to be pretty simple and nice tool. Just including the rss_fetch.inc adn using function fetch_rss($url), And bino here your Rss reader ready , Lame isn`t it.
fiddled for some time to dispaly multiple feeds , But it ends up more lame , I was implementing the logic in the same Loop , Just break the loop into two and remove the require_once directive and replace it with include and bingo the feed reaeder is ready.

Here are the two fav feeds i checked http://planet-india.randomink.org/rss20.xml
http://feeds.feedburner.com/RockyBlog.

Thus at the end here is a simple and a dirty web based reeder , Yawn it was fun :)

JIVE06

I am impressed , The First ever fest of any college has really impressed me , Everything About JIIT was Right , The Aggression , The Crowd, The Environment , The Approach, The College , The Resources Everything.

I figured out something more ( I can Dance pretty well) , It was something that was just limited to parties , But i was good :)

I never really blame the past , But first time i just donna wanna be Computer Freak, I missed Something and i know that.

Well it was fun and i learnt a lot by looking them , Especially the Aggression which i lack, It was good and Positive.We lost out in semis to a very good delhi team, But it was a overall nice experience.

Finally In Virtual World

Finally the Rock has come back to the Virtual World... , It`s nearly two months since I Toasted my Mobo and CPU , The Fault was in CPU which Burned my mobo again and Died in the War itself.

Now i have switched to A Intel Solution , Celeron D 2.8 . And It seems it score much better than my AMD Athlon Xp 2400+ , Unfortunately i also got into the Fakeraid Bug of Ubuntu so have to manually Install the dmraid and Hence Edgy.

But right now Gentoo is On, And i am loving my Old Lost friend :)

Update: Who are Trapped in The SATA RAID bug can look out at http://www.ubuntu-in.org/wiki/SATA_RAID_Howto, or use FC^ or Gentoo they both are having Dmraid and Hence doesn`t pose problem

Tokyo Drift

Just Two days Ago saw The 2fast2Furious--Tokyo Drift, Man this movie was rocking , Speed, Beer and Rockers , Hey hey

I got the Video and Audio both Downloaded mail me if anyone want one.

Watch it , If You Ain't Outta Control, You Ain't In Control.

Engineers here Engineers there Engineers Everywhere

Engineers at Hmm Nothing


When i see around myself there are two types of People

1. Engineers
2. Non-Engineers

My Neighbourhood uncle guy, the Boy who plays cricket with me , The Bomb of our colony , all are enrolled in an Engineering college, And they are Engineers ( At the last year they Ultimately become software Engineers),:)

Engineer Meant to Innovate things, Not to wear suits and sign a 24X7X365 contract collecting and Manipulating data , Man this all is going Insane , In no direction.

Now i regret why i have joined Engineering , It would be much better if i would have done a BCA , at least i would have all time for my work and Would be near my home .

Hope to turn things better..........(Guess What i am in My final year , and i Declare there is no meaning in today education system )

Why Google is Loosing a Future War ?

I always have a fake faith in Google about their commitment to Open Source, They are committed to OSS , But they also don`t care .....

What do i mean by they don`t care, There Launch of Google Earth and Picasa on Linux using wine emulator shows the Enough commitment they have given while developing the basic code of Google Earth and Picasa.

I was really thrilled to have Picasa on Linux, but it has came out to be Complete Looser, While Picasa on Windows is really fast enough to be used as a Day to Day application , Picasa on Linux Hog your memory and I don`t relish the idea of Emulating Software's and Cheating them :)

That`s Official there code is not portable , What you gonna Do , When Tuxmania Runs Over you ?

New Address

My address is changed and This one is Complimentary...:)

I got a New Domain www.gauravmishra.info, Courtesy My friend Maku(Mayank jain).

* There's lots of great sample code in the Blogger/GData doc
* Downloadable Client Libraries are provided for both C# and Java developers
* Authentication is fully documented for both Installed Applications and Web Apps
* Your GData code should be easily reusable across other GData API apps, such as Calendar

Change of Season

This is About Monsoon , Na.....

My life`s Season is changing. I am Genuinely Happy After a Lot of years, My School Buddies are reuniting and Slowly and Everyone who know me , Know very well that i miss my school Life the Most.

Sakshi , Ekta are back and the Famous Foursome of Ekta , sakshi , Amol and Gaurav is back , Althogh this Time Ekta is Not in the same touch. But Still...

I sometimes fear of Good Changes , Sometimes good changes means Some Bad is Waiting you Ahead, Bhagwan Madad

One_Night_@_Call_Center

I Spent my past three days in Reading this Amazing book, It really make me feel better, From what i really don`t know , But one thing is sure it did !.

It has the same Message that was given by Steve Jobs

" You gotta find the work that you love",



The Conversation from God and the Afterthoughts were too good. God is real cool. He doesn`t ask them to be nice, or be polite to elders or pray or some such shit. This God simply asks them what they want and then tells them to do what they want. This becomes a turning point in their lives.

They survive and how they survive! They become more alive after coming face to face with death.

It was funny as Jobs talked a lot about his meeting to death. And it changed a lot in him.Looks like...

Looking forward to read the Book FIve Point Someone...

Some words

"When i can run , i will run , When i can walk , i will walk, When i can
crawl , i will crawl. But i will not stop moving forward"

These Words had resided in my signature for a long long time....just sharing it with the World

HindiManiac

I have a full nothing to do Saturday tomorrow, Because of some Confusion in my college management, They fired the Main lab admin and Yet no one new haven`t taken his place. So couldn`t work on College Internal server this Saturday.

So what to do ?, Due to Xavient i am too much endrosed in Java and Couldn`t really make a mood to learn something new in Python.
Then there came a Pending Work , Install Hindi and Get Scim working , I was supposed to do this Long before,But u know....;)

Amazingly the whole process just took 2 minutes , last time in Breezy when i Setup the SCIM it was a real Pain . But Dapper had improved a lot in this Area,

For installing i just Selected the Hindi in Language tools and Voila all is Setup, :)
Just fire the Gedit , select the Input method as SCIM and select hindi (phonetic or inscript) and Here u go .......(would be writing a complete Howto soon)

Now i do the Next good thing that can be done , Fired the Launchpad site, login into my account , Selected Hindi as preferred language and Started Translating , No idea how many Strings i have translated , But it was fun.



Would like to point out this great site ShabdKosh a online English -Hindi Dictionary, Helped a Lot During the Translation....

Hope to add more things in Translation in near future , Would love to work in mainstream as i am not very sure that these translations are being updated over the main repository or not.

My EQ --People Say i am more emotional

Your EQ is 113

50 or less: Thanks for answering honestly. Now get yourself a shrink, quick! 51-70: When it comes to understanding human emotions, you'd have better luck understanding Chinese. 71-90: You've got more emotional intelligence than the average frat boy. Barely. 91-110: You're average. It's easy to predict how you'll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that. 111-130: You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt. 131-150: You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin. 150+: Two possibilities - you've either out "Dr. Phil-ed" Dr. Phil... or you're a dirty liar.

Top 5 Reasons why I hate Ubuquity

I don`t have a Bad childhood , So generally i don`t hate things Easily. But the Day from when i am Rejoicing Dapper Release, I really Hate Ubuquity(the Live Desktop CD Installer), And here the Five top reasons i can Quote.


1. I am Poor and I have only 256 Mb RAM of memory , Like 100 others in my hostel, But then Why i hate ubuquity if it says a requirement of 256 MB RAM and i have it.
Ubuquity+Live CD Hogs complete Memory of the System,And you have to wait and wait for next screen to come on, On the Contrary Dapper Runs Fine or Rather i say with perfection. Who will Explain This ?

2. It`s Buggy, Till Date when Dapper has Released We have Done Nearly 100 Workstation Installation attempts on Different PC`S. And the First Time Success Rate is 20%. Now Compare to the Previous D-I Installer, It was fast, Stable and Quite easy (except dumbheads).

3. Not enough Documentation Available, So anyone want to work on Ubuquity had to Study all code from scratch, That`s not bad. But surely not a good option.

4. Soon after Ubuquity is Released The New motherboards with RAID support refused to detect the Hard disk And this is confirmed by Ubuntu , The remedy is to stop two running Processes, But Ubuquity was supposed to for Newbies isn`t it.

5.When you select Manual Partition on Normal Hard disks, Ubuquity Crashed .It`s a BUG and a serious one. Look at here Kubuntu Known Problems

If we really Intended to go for GUI installer . We should look anaconda as option.

My Numereology Report

Found a Nice site free of charge made by a indian numerolgist Bharathwaj Nandakumar, Site URL is NumAstro.com And here is My Numerology Report

Basic Number :
Your basic number is 7. Hence if Monday falls on 2nd,7th,11th,16th,20th,25th or 29th, these days will be good for you.

Number 7 (Ruling planet : Ketu/Moon) :
Number 7 people are idealists, seeking utopia and living in an imaginary world of their own. They are more impractical than practical. They may achieve success spiritually, but are not so lucky in materialistic achievements. They are advised to be more practical. Their positive qualities are intellectualism, spirituality, scientific research, wisdom, and refinement. They are fond of travel and change. They excel in poetry, painting and similar fine arts where imagination is a good asset. They work more by hunch than reasoning and often make good money. They are generous and are inclined to charity and benevolence. They have the power of intuition.

Gemini (May 21 – June 21) :
Persons born under this sign have mercurial qualities. Physically they are nimble but mentally they are alert. They have good speaking and writing abilities. These persons can succeed in any sphere when they are a link between two parties – that is, they make agents, distributors, salesman etc. They also do well in advertising and journalism.

They have latent abilities in the field of scientific research, mathematics and commerce. They are gifted with the powers of imitation, and can also succeed as actors on the stage. Travels and affairs far off from the homeland help in augmenting their finances. These people are adaptable and accommodating. They are honest and noble hearted, but when they intend to withhold facts, they can lead a double life. They, generally, earn money by entering into services or engaging in trade. But their finances are not steady. Sometimes they have money to spare and, at other times, their finances may be so depleted that they do not have enough even for routine expenses.

Gemineans are very versatile, but their lack of concentration makes them more a jack of all trades and master of none. They will have greater success in life if they do not change their occupation, but concentrate on one job or one vocation.

Those born under this sign are religious, and this factor is likely to cause some changes in their life. They will be strongly attracted towards joining a secret religious society. Towards middle age, the natives will meet many obstacles and impediments which will hamper their career and check promotions. These will be caused by enemies and opponents.

The weak side of Geminean natives is to take a quick and superficial view of things and inability to concentrate. They crave frequent change, both physically and mentally in their work environment. If they curb these tendencies by forethought and practice, their indulgence and activity will earn them better dividends in life.
