Buddies! I will try to narrate a brave story of seven great presentorians(word inspired from historians)... Ambati, Cherry, Gani, Girish, Gopi, Kranthi and the mighty Pudi. On one fine morning(28th April, 2008, 4:00 AM), these 'GHEB Ist floor warriors', as they should be called, decided to take over an ancient city sealed under river Krishna for a long long time, which was then called Vijayapuri, now called Nagarjuna Sagar.

NFS Sharing(linux) and Mounting(linux & windows)

This is useful in case you want to have something shared on one system(server) to access it from other system(client), without having to maintain duplicate copies. Here the server is a Linux PC, client can be either Linux/Windows. The method can also be tweaked and used for getting done several other things.

You might be in a good need to restrict others from using up more than the disk space they actual need. Or you may need to have restricted disk usage for a system which has more users and you cant really afford 50 GB each. Here we'll see an easy how to of setting up and managing the disk quotas in linux.

Now it's known to everyone.. Tibet and China issue. Briefly the issue can be summarised as follows. China thinks, Tibet has been a part of China since a long time and it adds that it will continue to be so. There would not have been much problem if Tibetians are seen as their own citizens or atleast friendly neighbourhood. But, Tibetians, with the kind of treatment offered by Chinese govt, are offended. They say that their culture and values are not at all given any importance. For example, pubs and nude dances are not a part of Tibetian monks. But they happen there, day in and day out.

mail sharing/sync between linux & windows

Posted Sat, 19/04/2008 - 02:13 by gopal

The number of people using dual boot systems is increasing exponentially. And one of the most used thing across them is mail client! Now, if there is some way out to use the same configurations, mail folders for clients running on both operating systems, oh! that would save lot of headache.

After returning from home, this summer, I’m upto very large scale adjustments to my diet and also the ingredients of the food taken. Reason: Enlightening from Guru Sri. Mantena Satyanarayana Raju garu.He is a doctor….. the best doctor I have seen till date(FYI, All through my life, especially in childhood, I visited not less than 12 hospitals and 20 doctors).

what could be done?

Posted Sun, 13/04/2008 - 15:25 by gopal

I feel guilty -- I dint(not couldn't) help them; I'm sad -- how are they living?; I'm sorry -- the worst word symbolising escapism; This exactly is the sequence of my states, which happens each time I see a poor child begging.. the questions which pour down upon me are : What could *I* do to improve the situation? Are there any charity organisations which are willing to accept these children? If so, is it just lack of information, that these children are still on the street?
