Why money matters to me…

Posted on April 30, 2013 by Mohit Kumar

The one thing that I never cared about was money. When I was a kid , it was the least fascinating entity to me. I am an emotional person who finds feelings much more valuable than any other materialistic thing. But now tables have turned, money is my top priority. Not for me , but because of the people around me. I do not know why , I am always attracted to the person who have a crave for name, fame and money. I like to be popular, but wearing an expensive dress or showcasing any expensive material does not amaze me. I prefer creativity. Weather it be my first girl friend or my last girl friend, both left me because I did not have enough money. Though according to both of them, I am a good person and I deserve someone better, but both of them never accepted me as their life partner because I did not have enough money…I had an education loan , I had problems with my family and my salary was just that of a middle class professional. Nothing special, in case of monetary possession.
Moreover, their arrogance made me hate them now, I know both of them are married to richer families, who have surplus financial aids , a good job, pretty real estate and a good family background.

Its good for them , may God give whatever they need, but I can’t forget their words. The arrogance that shows that they have enough money than me makes things different and is the reason why my love for them has turned to hatred.

“Jao jaakar apna ilaaz karao.. or agar paise ki jarurat ho to mere se le lena”….. I will never forget these lines. These lines are heart breaking and if when you hear it from the person you loved the most. God bless her, but tables will turn…

DNS Cache in Ubuntu

Posted on March 7, 2013 by Mohit Kumar

I just updated DNS records on one of my customer’s website, and now the DNS record is not updating. The website is still pointing towards the old domain. I guess it is with my ISP’s DNS Cache. I thought to clear the DNS records of my system, which is Ubuntu by default.

And I found out that the Ubuntu does not uses a DNS cache. I will try to dig deeper into it.And yeah you can use the following command to check out and dig about your domain

dig @domain.net

How to delete files from github

Posted on February 10, 2013 by Mohit Kumar

If you made some deletion in a local repository and you want to remove the specific files from the github repository in the next commit just use the following code snippet.

git add . -A

git commit -m “version xxxx”

Solved

Using sed for instant versioning of the files

Posted on February 10, 2013 by Mohit Kumar

Whenever I work with WordPress themes, I have to use either an IDE or manually add versions to each file in the template. ( Though this is the first time I am commenting my themes ). So I wanted to save some time implementing it. Why not use sed for the same.

This command does the trick for me

sed -i ‘s/wpboot 0.1/wpboot 0.2/g’ *.php

and.. I met an aghori

A Aghori sadhu in a cave near badrinath — Creative Commons License Archit Ratan

I just wrote my experience on the website of Haridwarcity. Here is the excerpt.(BTW thats not the aghori I met)

Kid, I have left my world, I do not live for the sake of living , I am living for sake of dying. Death is the one which gives meaning to the life. As Lord Shiva, lives at the uninhabitable Kailasa parvat , though if he could wish live in the Golden Lanka,So do I. To me Shiva is everything, he is in this sands, the flowing water, in the sky , in the living and in the dead. He is in the good and he is in the bad. He is perfect. Good and bad lies in the logic of humans, not in any substance. Everything is Shiva and Shiva is in everything.He is in this water and in the blood as well, so if you can drink this water, why cannot you drink the blood. You will say, blood is unhygienic to drink, but you consider it because you think yourself as the body. If you consider yourself as the atma, and the part of Shiva, will it matter, if blood is hygienic or not? So is the case with the shava (Corpse). What difference does it make , once its dead ? It is just like any other eatable.

Omit the protocol from embedded resources

Posted on January 25, 2013 by Mohit Kumar

If you are linking to any external resource like external css or external image, do remember to omit the protocol from the resource.

The following code is bad

/* Not recommended */ .example { background: url(http://www.google.com/images/example); } Rather you should omit the http or https from the URI

/* Recommended */
.example {
  background: url(//www.google.com/images/example);
}

Omitting the protocol—which makes the URL relative—prevents mixed content issues and results in minor file size savings.

Advanced Wireless Services

Posted on January 24, 2013 by Mohit Kumar

The Advanced Wireless Services (AWS) is in the 1710 – 1755 and 2110 – 2155 MHz spectrum range. The most common use of AWS spectrum is fixed and mobile voice and data services, including cell phone, text messaging, and Internet.

The AWS band uses microwave frequencies in two segments: from 1710 to 1755 MHz for uplink, and from 2110 to 2155 MHz for downlink.The service is intended to be used by mobile devices such as wireless phones for mobile data, video, and messaging services. Most manufacturers of smartphone mobile handsets provide versions of their phones that include radios that can communicate using the AWS spectrum. Since for downlink AWS uses a subset of UMTS frequency band I (2100 MHz) some UMTS2100 capable handsets do detect AWS networks but cannot register on them due to the difference in uplink frequencies (1710–1755 MHz for AWS vs. 1920–1980 MHz for UMTS2100).
