Recently I was thinking about a simple tool/program which we can use for sharing expenses. This is what, bought the idea of “Xsharer“. So here comes a DOS application which seems to be easy and simple enough to use often. Implemented in C(of course) and, is full of linked lists

So it would be nice if you people can help me to test it.

This Saturday, morning we were planning for Phir Hera Pheri but again change in the plan and ended up watching Krrish in Kamakya theater. No special comments. (more…)

Recently I had downloaded and installed Mandriva Linux 2006 on my HP Pavilion DV1000. Overall, look and performance is great so as some of the previous Mandrake releases, nothing special to add.BTW, here are some screen shots.

gIpc, a tool which I wrote some months ego is now listed in www.softpedia.com
This is a tool to get all the IPC info.

Just like a GTK frontend for IPCS and IPCRM commands which are already there in existing Linux systems.
FYI, I have already submitted this tool to GNOMEFILES

First of all, welcome to the world of protocols !
TCP is OK but what is this SCTP ?
Simply put, a new transport layer (remember OSI model !), just like TCP but has many advantage specifically made for the telecom industry.
Key features include
1. Message framing
2. Multihoming and,
3. Multi streaming.

Now, do we really need a new transport layer protocol when people are happy using TCP as a standard and most stable protocol on the earth? Fortunately or unfortunately, YES !

Once again I dumped RedHat !
Last month I installed RedHat only for the ClearCase installation.I was learning clearcase and I badly needed Clearcase to tryout some stuff. (Specially triggers !)
Clearcase installed on RedHat without any problem. Although I had to recompile vnode.o.But that also went on smoothly.
But believe me, when it comes to Desktop usage RedHat just sucks !
On Mandrake, vnode.o compilation was giving some problem that was why I had installed Red Hat.
The error was related to vnode_shadow_setxattr ( donno what it is ! ) .It was due to some strict prototype checking. (In Make file there was a flag Strict-Prototype… something like that).I removed that flag then OMG, the module vnode.o compiled !
That means, now there is no need for RedHat

Recently I received mails from many of my friends out there trying to install Linux and ending up with a mess and finally saying – (more…)
