blogtk — Unsupported XML-RPC protocol

2010-06-29 2 min read Linux

Earlier I had talked about this blog client, did I. If not then there is a nice blogging clinet called BloGTK, which can be used directly to post into the blog.

So today I reinstalled it and I was completely at loss with the client being unable to start with the error below:

/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/blogtk/BloGTK.py:407: GtkDeprecationWarning: gtk.TRUE is deprecated, use True instead
self.publishCheck.set_active(gtk.TRUE)

These commands are taken from various sources and are quite helpful for day to day work on solaris.

For find n grep

grep -i m_forwardingProxy `find . -name \*cpp`

grep -i XVarBind `find . -name \*h`

grep -i gSLEncodeMode `find . -name ”*.cpp” -o -name ”*.h”`

Find:

find . $ -name ”*.cpp” -o -name ”*.h” -o -name ”*.c” -o -name ”*.cc” -o -name ”*.inh” -o -name ”*.inc” -o -name ”*.sm” -o -name ”*.asm” $

Getting your wordpress self hosted stats on your console with bash script.

2010-06-29 3 min read Bash Learning

Some time back I wrote a blog on how to get your site stats using curl in <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/bash" title="Bash" rel="homepage" href="http://tiswww.case.edu/php/chet/bash/bashtop.html">bash shell. Today we will use the same script to get the stats every few seconds on the terminal on the same line, similar to progress meter.

Here is the script and the description:

wordpress blog stats monitoring from remote using curl and bash and send it in mail.

2010-06-25 3 min read Bash Fedora Linux

Here’s something that I had been planning to do for sometime now. I have my blog on wordpress and have Statpress plugin installed. The plugin does give me a good idea of the visits to my site. Now, I have to keep logging in every now and then to check the stats. Also since I did not want to spend some more amount 🙂 so I do not have the shell access to the server, too bad 🙁

6700 free and redistributable fonts for Linux.

2010-06-25 1 min read Fedora Linux

Today I was searching for some good fonts for my desktop running Fedora 11 – Leonidas. In my quest to find the required fonts that I would liked, I reached some good sites so just thought would share the same with you.

First, how do you use them, simple steps:

mkdir ~/.fonts

Now you can put your fonts in this directory. You can make sub-directories to keep your fonts organized. On F11, I did not need to refresh the font server or logout and login. 🙂
