Diff Linux command — Find the difference in files the easier way.

In Linux you can use diff command to find the differences in file.

What is interesting is that you can use &#8221;diff -u&#8221; to list the differences with &#8217;+&#8217; and &#8217;-&#8217; rather than sometimes confusing &#8217;>&#8217; and '<&#8217;.

Running the regular diff between two text files to see the differences is not so elegant for the human eye to decode. Luckily there are plenty of tools out there to make this easy.

added mail and mail notification support on the blog.

I have been putting this off for quite some time, finally I added the mail support on my blog. You can subscribe to comments or new posts or newsletters. Just click on subscribe on the main page. On the confirmation page you can select your options for the subscription (newletters or otherwise). Be sure that your email ID will not be used by me or I will not sell them 🙂

I had submitted my blog to indiblogger.in some months ago and it was in waiting list. I had lost all hopes that it will get reviewed or approved and had long since stopped looking at the status also, but today morning I got a surprise mail that the submission is accepted. Here&#8217;s the link: http://www.indiblogger.in/blogger/7717/

my blog more accessible from PDA and iPhone

I have installed a seperate theme for iPhone and PDA so that the bandwidth and download required is much less from these devices. So, now my blog should load much faster if you are using a PDA or iPhone to browse my blogs.

Happy Browsing.
