Based on Gentoo,
Sabayon 4.1, tells me:
- Great performance with less RAM(though you need like 1GB RAM for it to work well enough).
- Package Management System is absolutely fantastic, with it’s new “Entropy”.
- Totally the perfect distribution.
- A fine distribution for the newbie or the expert.
This is what a critic would say:
- Definitely better than the leading Ubuntu, like a total drift between Ubuntu and Gentoo.
- It has many other applications that do the same thing as the main one does.
It’s an absolutely fabulous Linux Experience ever. I would rate it 9/10. Highlighting one of its features, is that all small applications can be just installed from it’s binary form, while high-end application, like openoffice, can be compiled using portage, to provide maximum efficiency. What’s more? It’s speedy and a completely out of the box experience.

Problem: Installed the hemingwayEx theme. Looks great, but the pagination doesn’t work well without the custom hemingwayEx pagination plugin. I got that installed. The hemmingwayEx theme looks cool when it displays two posts per page. The plugin worked well except that for my other two themes, displayed two posts per page. I posted a topic at Wordpress Forums. No results.
Solution: Just at the beginning of the hemingwayEx theme, I modified it to create a cookie, like this:
<?php
if(!isset($_COOKIE["wptheme" . COOKIEHASH])) {
$expire=time()+3600;
$ctheme="hemingwayEx";
setcookie("wptheme".COOKIEHASH, stripslashes($ctheme), $expire);
}
?>

After two days of having intense jolts given to my head, I finally got the lava lamp navigation working! The orignal idea is from G. Marwaha’ Blog and Cory’s Place. By compiling the two articles, I have a clean way to implement it in probably any wordpress theme. I struggled at this one… but where there is a will, there is a way. This has been tested on the wordpress default theme and the subtleflux theme. You can see it live at my developmental theme. This is also for the lazy man, the quick “copy & paste” method.
So let’s get started, shall we?
Download this zip file containing the jQuery files for Lava Lamp Menu Unzip the files in your theme direcrory.

Wanna hide that information and private things you don’t want your buddies to see? Here is what is called simple steganography. Steganography is the master of black arts. Nobody can ever suspect that there is a simple, easy-to-find drawer in one of your pictures. This works with .png files as I didn’t try it with any other. If the trick works on other file types, please let me know. All set to go? You need a GNU/Linux terminal or a Mac terminal to do this. Someone please post ways of doing this in Windows!
The Trick:
We have a file called “Secret Song.mp3″. We want to hide this into an image file. Let’s assume that our image file is called “Landscape.png”. First, compress the “Secret Song.mp3″ into the .zip type compression. Then type the following in the shell:

I have spent almost five years at this school.
It was just like a second home to me. With facilities like a swimming pool, basketball courts, football grounds, a multimedia, etc., we not only grew up to be pure men but also with a range of hobbies that we do. There are several competitions that are held on a regular basis, that keep renewing that spirit of enthusiasm and anxiety. There were outdoor games almost everyday, save the Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. We had always learnt to live by each other’s weaknesses and strength.
Some of our favorite “hotspots” for the evening walks were Flaggy, Plummy, Lime Orchard, Tiger’s Path and Shalgaon. Overnight Camping was a must for the class tens, their final year. The overnight picnic was filled with fun. Continue reading →

At the end of the exams, we all say to ourselves Come what may… The incident at Banglore took us by a complete surprise and then the Geography exam was post-ponded later, leading to an increase in tension and also causing problems in travelling. We finaly had to travel by bus, which ofcourse was very, very irritating.
The long awaited holidays have finally begun, each moment being like a million years. Let’s just say that all went well and so, enjoy the present, forget about the past and don’t bother about the future.
