A poem.... cant think of a title

From the Darkest Part of Human Mind,
From the deepest secret of its Kind,
A thought wid effect is steamin Behind,
A question wid no answer Keeps me in Blind...

I cant see the light, I cant see the flame...
As if by darkness, ma soul is slain...
I cant feel the life, I cant feel ma Soul..
Inside of me its Darkness all a whole...

No vision no light, no answer no sight...
against the darkness inside, I 'll hav to fight...
Time to find answers, its time to seek...
Get rid of the questions, that make me weak...

I hav to ask de question, de question "why?"
Hearing Aloud, as ma mind screams nd cries...
nd still cant help, ma depression sighs!!!
as i get failed no matter how hard i try....

you took away ma spirit, you took away ma Soul...
you broke me into pieces, left me dead nd cold...
But I 'll be back as promised as told!!!
and take back whats mine, that u stole!!!

I 'll get back at ya, I 'll get ma revenge.
now is the time and now's your dead end....
So you just wait n watch coz turn is now mine!
i 'll get ma payback and diminish your shine....

From now on you will be smiling no more!
you 'll feelthe pain that i felt for sure...
Pulling of the pieces of that heart of yours
your agony might be, ma last stand, ma Ultimate cure...

I cant forgive maself, for what i 've done.
It shocked you and left me too stunned...
I cant do this to one I loved...
But i got too carried away I was too ruffed...

Using GPRS with Ubuntu without Bluetooth

Well i know you wont be interested in using GPRS for connecting to net as it offers a download speed of 5KB/s instead of your broadband connection, but it can be of great help when you are traveling or when you dont have a broadband like me ( special thanks to BSNL for that).

I wanted to install Amarok on my newly installed Ubuntu 7.04 so i needed a net connection for that there were a hell lot of dependency as Amarok is basicly a KDE application. so my hunt began for a way to connect my Nokia 3250 with Airtel MobileOffice to it. I found a hell lot of sites upon searching for it but all of them required me to download some or other package for which i needed a net connection lol, but then on Linuxquestions.org i finally found a way to configure it without any extra package just the default Ubuntu Install and guess what it works with all Linux systems (it was originally posted for it). So here is what to do

First:- check the VID and PID of your phone, To do this simpily connect your phone in PcSuit mode through the USB cable provided then type in terminal
lsusb

to get the output somewhat like this

ankur@ankur-desktop:~$ lsusb
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0421:042d Nokia Mobile Phones
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

Notice the ID 0421:042d Nokia Mobile Phones here 421 is the VID and 42d is the PID replace them with what is shown in your case below. Now run the command
sudo /sbin/modprobe usbserial vendor=0x(vid) product=0x(pid)

Like "sudo /sbin/modprobe usbserial vendor=0x421 product=0x42d" in my case

then run the following command
wvdialconf create

To get the following output
ankur@ankur-desktop:~$ sudo wvdialconf create

ttyACM0: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 -- OK
Found an USB modem on /dev/ttyACM0.
Modem configuration written to create.
ttyACM0: Speed 460800; init "ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0"

This shows that a modem is connected at /dev/ttyACM0, Now substitute this at (your modem) in the script below
Enter the command
sudo gedit etc/wvdial.conf
delete any thing already written there and place this in that
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = (your modem)
Baud = 230400
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Phone = *99***1#
Username = A
Password = B
Stupid Mode = 1

All done now to connect open terminal and type sudo wvdial and you are connected with the following output
ankur@ankur-desktop:~$ sudo wvdial
Password:

stability...too big a word to digest!!

Stability n life never goes hand in hand
Understand this as soon as u can!!

Ek track par chalne waali zindagi kitni boring hogi naa?? Arre samjho yaar..not even trains run on a single track..& still reach their destination.same is da case wid us.as a passanger on da vector of life,which shows us so many ups n downs,we reach our destination.

“don’t get disturbed,itz o.k.!!”how stupid to say this to neone..if life is traversing thru a bumpy road,one WILL get disturbed(provided u r a normal human being..)but da highway arrives as soon as u get out of this disturbance.LESSEN ur reaction time..itz too necessary!! Life is tooooo short yaa...ise jeene ka sirf ek hi funda hai…"tension min,njoy max” theek hai life mein problems hain to tension to hoga hi but problems xist in everyone’s life yaa..if everyone reacts to it for so long..kabhi socha hai.??SMILES xist hi nahi karti.. so CRY!!yess cry whenever u have a problem , it will make u feel light..but hamesha ek baat dhyaan rakho..u r not crying for u,but for da problematic situations against u…so smile..forever..for ur friends for urself!!

Expression Lost!!!

Hi
This is ma First Blog… I am Vikram…I have Completed ma 12th from Daly College a Historical School…almost 125 Yrs. Old…. That’s about me. Ma Friend Ankur has been Blogging for some time… and he was the one who pushed me into writing this…

For Starter lemme tell you I have absolutely no Idea Wat to write, I have always been a person with very few words, often failing to express ma self many times and thus losing something I always wanted or needed… coz of ma this inability I am soon gonna loose something that I always loved but I cant help but just to watch it go by…

It gives me different feeling to write this coz I expect others people who don’t even know me to understand me, while ma closest of ma friendz didn’t… I optimistically believe there is someone out there who might understand me. Or been through from the same situation as I am in rite now.... If your still confused lemme explain it to ya what I am talking about…

Have you ever had this feeling of something wrong or something missing… have you ever wanted something and you got it and still you weren't as happy as you thought you would be… It’s kinda Funny Coz I have always had this gutsy feeling of Uncertainty, Doubt and Confusion in me… I always wanted this outlet to someone… though I have ma friends who are always ready to listen to me and ma problems… But I still feel That Non expression in ma self…

Eyes have a thousand words to express…but There r Very few Listeners in this World… There’s always Something Inside That tingles through Your senses wen you are alone watching a sunset…Its Something that happens everyday…but still It has a Addictiveness to it…It binds you … Its Beautiful. Most of people say it But Whats Beautiful in it…Can they tell me Whats beautiful in a sunset or sunrise…..It’s so interesting that most important things in life r taken so granted… for example let me refer to environmental damage that we have caused we expect it to be solved by nature itself that is we are taking nature for granted to balance itself…

We always Say “ooh he’s a good man”…hello who is a good man?? Please answer me Whats the criteria for a good person… For e.g.… Mahatma Gandhi… According to Most people He was god’s Angel…But There were people and there r people who still hate him… so if he was a good person why was he killed…coz he was a bad person according to someone… Everyone decides his own benchmark... But On a Broader Basis we still consider Gandhi ji as a majestic Human… So it’s not only me who is at a loss of expression… There r People who find them selves unable to be expressive as a society and contain that moment and fire within them… There r always Unanswered question … unexplained phenomena… But the Biggest mysteries lie inside the cranium….

Get Kalam Back

Do you think Dr A P J Abdul Kalam should continue as the President of India for a second term?
If you want him to continue, then register to vote.

Political parties are consulting on the candidates for the post of President of India. President Kalam's term of Presidency expires in July which means a new President would have to be elected by then. The electoral collegium comprises members of both Houses of Parliament and legislative assemblies including those of Delhi and Puducherry have a big role to play.
Currently other names are being discussed for the post of Presidency.

Here's a chance for all of us to tell Hon. President - "we want you back for the second term."
President Kalam has consistently spoken about a Vision for India by the year 2020 and has enumerated ways and means to achieve it. It is within our reach to send the Message to the electoral college.

YOUR VOTE MATTERS. You can bring a change. Make a beginning by voting.

Open Moko

So finally i start blogging after Ankur's asking me and i will be covering something which Ankur left and yes yes i know the title says every thing. OpenMoko - the small entry on wikipedia says "OpenMoko is a project to create a smartphone platform using free software. It uses the Linux kernel, together with a graphical user environment built using X.Org Server, Matchbox window manager and Novell Evolution email client. The OpenEmbedded build framework and ipkg package system are used to create and maintain software packages. OpenMoko was announced in 2006 by founders First International Computer (FIC) The initial hardware product supporting OpenMoko is the FIC GSM Neo1973 device."
It briefly explain most of it, but if you feel it like you cant digest it then here is a simpler version, Open moko is a project to create smart phone using open source/free (please note both are different terms) software. As you can see in the image above it resembles a very much hyped phone none other then our very own iPhone, with the similar all touch based User Interface (UI), it may lack those sensors but the device is only limited by your imagination. You may be wondering what is all the fuzz about its being made using some type of the open platform what is there in them that makes it special? but the point here is that you will be knowing about each and every thing that is happening in the device and will be able to change it at will, many of the closed source platform like the famous Symbian S60 which is very popular world wide (specially India because of Nokia) has its limitation like you not bieng able to upgrade the OS version, here please do not confuse with the firmware, i mean like i am having an OS 9.1 (s60 3rd edition i.e.) i can not upgrade to OS 9.3 (s60 3rd edition feature pack 1) because of which i am not able to use the second version of the Nokia OSS Web Browser which has widget support, same thing will not be there with Open Moko, as and when the new version is out you have the option of Flashing your older version with newer version and they actually support you in opening the device!!!, tell me one single manufacturer that does the same thing?
The First device is expected to be manufactured around November this year "FIC Neo 1973" with expected price of around $300 which is quite cheap considering it has also WiFi, but lacks Camera as of now but who knows it may be added till then. So am seriously waiting for it and Free My Phone

10 Thing we HATE about Apple

Damn Hot Mobile Devices

Just read about Ubuntu Mobile and Embedded Edition and few weeks ago this announcement GNOME Mobile and Embedded Initiative but what do they exactly mean? well let me explain it to you in simple words this would mean you would start seeing mobile device like you have never seen before i dont only mean the User Interface ( UI ) but there functionality also. These Initiatives will enable them to a hell lot of things and a cheaper price.
The Ubuntu announcement talks about kind of partnership with Intel as it says “Finally, we are delighted to be working with Intel on this version of
Ubuntu. Intel are making significant contributions of technology, people and
expertise to the project. We hope that others who are interested in
producing an easy-to-use and open source environment for this class of
device will join us in making this a success.”
This is going to be a really hot thing and its going to be released with UBUNTU 7.10
And one more thing that needs to be closely followed is OpenMoko its really a nice concept and is also expected to be released around time with Ubuntu at an expected price around US$300 more on OpenMoko later.

The Numbers

hehe seem like Lost inspired post the numbers 4 8 15 16 23 42 are of some importance in Lost (i wont post a spoiler about them) so are "09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0" and people are going crazy after it, Because that code means you would be able to play HD DVD of your Linux/Free BSD boxes and probably copy them too (provided you have that much space to spare) and f you convert this Hexcode to ASCII it says "defective by design”. I am still wondering what exactly that means any idea?

Hello World
