Happy

Is has been a long time since I've blogged, specially for a person who loves what he's doing. And how do I title that new post? "Happy".

This isn't going to be a "looking-back" post reminiscing the hardship and success. I am not yet privileged enough for that type of post. It's just, while I've always been a cheerful guy, that is how I feel right now. Peace & happy (and I'm not high, before anyone suggests).

The love of my life and I've been in our long and detailed love story with twists, turns and fun. But I'll spare you the details and just tell. Nadee and I are now happily married. We finally tied the knot this May, and it's been awesome! We've already been told by many that everything doesn't smell like roses always. Well, thank you. We'll figure things out on the way.

Among other things, for more than a year I've had a pleasant work environment, good employee benefits and a team that's loads of fun to work with. That's a perk of working for a company who gets that running an IT company is different from other businesses. I would be ungrateful if I didn't say that thinkCube has treated me well.

Another big thing that happened during the last two years was me re-discovering my flare to keep going and getting a no-nonsense getting-stuff-done attitude about life. Starting from my late-teen years I've always been a guy who could take a beating. But I was also of the laid-back and go with the flow nature, even while I was in the school of hard knocks. But since it gave me a graduation certificate and kicked me out, I've been a guy with a different attitude. You'll have to take my word for it now, but I intend to use it in action.

When I started this blog I was at the beginning of my career, silly enough to write that I was falling over-and-over in love with the same girl. I was raw enough to talk trash and be emotional about technology. It's all there in the blog archive. And I'm going to let them be for that's who I was, and that's how I grew up to be me.

The wonderful thing about marriage is, it puts things into perspective. And the great thing about happiness is, you are at peace to think about what you want to be doing. I have the luxury of both. As I keep typing this away in bed, a single look at my wife who's in a peaceful nap, is all the assurance I need. I do not know what future holds, but I know what I will take. :)

Howto Migrate from Thunderbird to Evolution

I know some of you are asking why , rather than how , regarding migration from Mozilla Thunderbird to Evolution. Maybe that's why there are lot of Evolution to Thunderbird migration guides, but not many vice-versa. Fear not, here is a guide, to assist who dare to migrate from Thunderbird to Evolution. The techniques described here are tested with the newer versions of both the software, namely Thunderbird 2.0.0.4 and Evolution 2.10.2. On higher versions also this should work without an issue. I think Mozilla people are doing a wonderful job with both Firefox and Thunderbird . From my point of view Firefox is the best general purpose web browser around. It beats most proprietary browser in speed, stability, security, modularity, etc. (and don't start commenting the so and so browsers are greater or so and so is cool too. I know they may be, Fx is simply my choice. This also applies to any comparisons with Evolution too :) However Fxs' counterpart in e mail business, is not y...

Howto Install Docky on Fedora

If you know me personally, then you know that I'm a big fan of GNOME Do . As a keyboard savvy person I use Do extensively. Do is an application launcher similar to the Mac app Quicksilver. However the GNOME Do team has been putting a lot of research and development into it from the initiation. Result: probably the best application launcher out there for any platform. Some months ago, Do included an interesting theme called Docky which made the launcher acts as a dock (a la Mac, Avant, Cairo Dock, etc.). With the integration of GNOME Do, there's no need to say that Docky was super cool. And it started gaining features in a high speed. Ultimately Docky was getting so developed that it became a separate project. Installing GNOME Do on a Fedora system is as easy as: $ sudo yum install gnome-do There are some packages with the names starting from gnome-do-plugins*. With the addition of these GNOME Do can truly enhance your desktop experience. Give it a fair try, I'm pretty...

Howto Setup a Subversion (svn) Repository for a Rails Project + Bonus

Setting up a Subversion (svn) repository is something development teams have to do fairly regularly, not that I want to use Subversion. :) If you listen to me, go use Git . Subversion is undoubtedly very good. But after using Git for about a year, you can't simply get me to switch back. Git is that good. :) I've written about Git before . In cases where you can't use Git (or you feel too castrated by TortoiseSVN, pardon me for the pun) you can use Subversion. In this post I'll go through the steps you have to follow to get a basic Subversion setup up and running on a CentOS 5 Linux host. However I think you should be able to use this on other Linux distros too. There's more than one way to host a Subversion repo. I'm going to stick with one way involving WebDAV. Don't mind the buzz word. It's the most common usage for this purpose. If you want a repository where you want to checkout and commit remotely, this is an easy way of getting it done. In addition...
