I would like to tell you that I am relatively new with linux.I didnt really like it at first but now I am just loving it.The very fact that Linux is an open-source operating system and is freely available to every person unlike its arch-rival Microsoft Windows, makes it so fascinating at least for me.
I faced a few problems when i first installed it on my system.Had to recover my windows after one week.I was disgusted, because the partitioning of my system was disarrayed and it took me two days to figure out how to fix it.But then I found out about a very efficient way to install Linux on my system.Click here to know more about it.
PROBLEM-
Anyways, now i had installed Linux (Xubuntu) on my system and was working peacefully on it and suddenly there was a power failure at my place.When power came back the modem restarted but the internet did not work so i simply rebooted the system & then it worked.Then there was a server failure on behalf of my Internet Service Provider.So again i restarted my modem but net did not work.So I re-entered my IP settings and then it worked.And today there were 5 power cuts within an hour and going through this cycle again & again just drove me crazy.
Then someone adviced me to post my problem on UBUNTU FORUMS.I did the needful and guess what......my problem was dealt with within an hour.
SOLUTION-
In such a situation first bring down and then bring up your internet using 'ifdown' and 'ifup' commands respectively.
For Example,
-->sudo ifup eth0
will bring up an ethernet connection but make sure you provide the correct interface.
You can use 'ifconfig' command to find your interface....
I found these commands pretty handy and hope these would help you out too.......

Today I came across a very interesting social networking site known as TWITTER.
Twitter is a micro-blogging and social networking site which allow users to send updates or tweets (text based posts of max length 140 chars) to the twitter website. These updates can be send directly at twitter website, through sms service, through a third party application like facebook
and even through instant messaging.
The so called 'tweets' or 'updates' are published on the user's profile and also on the profiles of the followers.Followers are the people or users who chose to 'follow' you on twitter, that is, they are interested in getting your time to time update and this is how social networking is done on twitter.
My initial reaction when I first heard about twitter was,"huff!!! what a waste of time?". But once i saw it and learnt that the updates could also be displayed on your blog, which by the way i have done under the title 'My Status', I decided to join it.Hey after all this is social networking which means more traffic. But not just that it is actually fun and i am getting fond of it.........

ORKUTIAN ARRESTED
Orkut for most people is just pure fun, isnt it? Well, at least thats what Rahul Krishankumar Vaid thought. What he didn't know was that posting derogatory remarks on Orkut could land you in jail 
and this Gurgaon lad learnt it the hard way!!!!!
Rahul Krishankumar Vaid, a Gurgaon resident, was recently arrested for posting obscene comments about Sonia Gandhi on the community i hate sonia gandhi.
Obviously, the banned comments and the profile of the person has been deleted.
Mr Vaid was charged under section 292 of Indian Penal Code & section 67 of the Information Technology. He could be sentenced for 5 years in prison and fined 1 lakh rupees.
It is actually kind of funny that an arrest took place while communities like I hate Aishwarya rai, I hate Himesh Reshamiya etc. are filled with remarks which go way beyond just obscene.
According to DCP Rajan Bhagat, PRO Delhi Police, definition of 'obscenity' is well defined in the law books and the accused can be punished only if people come forward and complain.
And just for the record, besides posting inappropriate comments hacking into another person's account and snooping into one can also end you up in prison.
I don't think i am the right person to pass a judgment, but how fair is it to have such laws which suppresses the freedom of expression in a country like India where freedom of speech and expression is a fundamental right? Any reactions or comments are welcome..........

ORKUTTING FOR WEB TRAFFIC
Orkut as you all know is one of the most famous site for online social networking.
Every other person i know has a profile on orkut. Even i have got my own orkut profile. So you can imagine the amount of potential traffic orkut has in store for you. Now the question is how to direct this traffic to your targeted website?
The answer lies in a very special feature provided by orkut which is orkut communities. Now if you own a big community with a hefty number of members and bunches of forum discussions then any link in the community profile is bound to attract traffic to the targeted link. Moreover the profiles of owners , co-owners and moderators are also likely to be checked out and so are the links if any on their respective profiles. So even if you don't own a big community but are related to one even then you can attract significant traffic. Also this is a good way of directing traffic to multiple websites without spamming the community profile.
In my view this is a very efficient way of getting traffic, and i plan to open a community soon which i will tell you about once it happens.

BASIC WEB TECHNOLOGIES
Just to start with i would like to tell you that lately i have
developed this 'interest' in web technologies.
In this post i am going to tell you what all you can expect from
this blog.
Internet has had a profound impact on our globe in all these years of
development.Web technologies may be thought of a package containing
all the tools to work on the internet.
Web technologies, though a very wide term, may be classified into its
major components as follows-
SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION (SEO)
Probably the most important aspect in running a website, because
more the search engine ranking, more the traffic & more the
earnings. Initial steps of SEO include targeting a proper keyword,
but it is about much more than that.
WEB DESIGNING
Web designing can simply be defined as designing your web site.
This web site displays the content wich you want to communicate
to the user. Basic web designing languages include HTML, XHTML
and XML.For more complex designing Flash, Quick Time, Java etc.
can be used.
Web professionals tend to concentrate on seo and tend to
forget that the content is also important. Until you provide
quality services to the traffic, it doesnt make a differnce
where does it come from, it will last.
WEB DEVELOPMENT
Web development on the other hand is primarily concerned with
the non-designing aspects of creating a web site. Some of the
major components which come under web development are writing
markup & coding, e-commerce business development,
client-side/server-side coding, web server configuration,social
network services etc.
