Mac Vs Linux Security.

There has always been going a debate who is  more secure Windows, Linux or Mac. I was curious too so did a bit of search and found some interesting results. So without wasting much time let's go straight to facts.

First Smiley :-)

The First Smiley :-)

The smiley :-) and its many variants are an important (and fun!) part of the worldwide online social culture -- allowing emotions to be conveyed in plain text.  It has been in widespread use since the early '80s, when it was first proposed.  Yet the original message in which the smiley was invented had been lost -- until now. :-)  After a significant effort to locate it, on September 10, 2002 the original post made by Scott Fahlman on CMU CS general bboard was retrieved by Jeff Baird from an October 1982 backup tape of the spice vax (cmu-750x).  Here is Scott's original post:

19-Sep-82 11:44    Scott E  Fahlman             :-)
From: Scott E  Fahlman <Fahlman at Cmu-20c>

I propose that the following character sequence for joke markers:

:-)

Read it sideways.  Actually, it is probably more economical to mark
things that are NOT jokes, given current trends.  For this, use

Making your first PHP Google Drive Application

 It's afternoon here, clouds and sun are playing hide and seek. I have exams day after tomorrow, have broken various assignment deadlines and now trying to make a console application for google drive using recently released google drive api and sdk. First of all I went to developers.google.com and clicked on Api Console icon, Clicked on create project, and then from the list that came enabled google drive api and sdk. After that went and click API access to create credentials. Drive API uses OAuth2. Create credentials is a step by step process, at first screen add your logo, name of your application. At the second screen when it asks whether you want web application, installed application,etc. Click on Installed application and you will have an option to choose operating system, options are for ios,android and other. Click on other.

Installing Gnome3 on ubuntu

Yup! there is an official ubuntu package but the problem with such official packages is that the stabilization periods of operating system project as big as ubuntu are also one of long periods. So usually what you get via official packages is an outdated application. But as discussed in post for installing wt, you can easily add a third party repository(at your risk) and install using that. So to install gnome 3 on ubuntu, press ctrl +t and type

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell

 and when Installation is done, Reboot and now you have your gnome 3 on ubuntu. Congractulations

It's 0630 hrs in the morning, tea time and my installation is on it's way. I will come back here with screenshots and what to do after installing gnome? after i reboot.

It's 0640 hrs and I am here after a reboot.
After you reboot, in the login screen you will have additional options from where you can choose which interface you want, gnome classic, gnome, or gnome classic (without effects).

You can choose your type here and then what you have is an amazing innovative shell. The best part that i love about Gnome is the ability to add gnome extenstions. So just go to extension . http://extensions.gnome.com and add extensions to customize gnome for your ease. You can also install gnome tweak tool with

sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool

Go to the post "installing wt"
After a struggle of various days, weeks and months I have been through witty and here writing this post a day after i have successfully completed my first website in wt.Wt has been a great learning experience and probably this was the first time that i depended just on documentation and chose the method of "learning by doing" instead of "learning and doing".

Using multiple files while coding in c++

I am working on wt (a web toolkit for c++). I remember hearing about it few years ago when i was in diploma and then I had an aquintance with it again as a challenge. The challenge was to build a website in wt. While i am working on the tutorials for wt, i am also working on creating a tutorial website for wt. (that was the challenge). So till now i (and many other novice programmers like me) have been happy with single .cpp file to put all the code in. No doubt we were very much told about the demerits and suggested a lot about having a good habit of having multiple files. I remember Indermohan Singh using header files in c++ few years back. But I was ignorant and never paid heed to it until i got struck into a place where there seems no other option.
