Windows Commands: Think You Know It All !?
Think you know it all, huh!? Talking about Windows commands… Look at the list below and think twice! :)
Here is the list of Windows "keyboard" commands that come very handy when working with (mostly fixing or configuring) something in Windows. Quick example on how to run these commands: go to "Start -> Run" type the command name, and … magic! a corresponding GUI window appears in front of your eyes! :)
For example to see "network connections" window all you need to do is to go to "Start -> Run", type "ncpa.cpl" and click Enter as shown above – that’s all!

Add Launcher to “Avant Window Navigator”
Lately it has become a very painful experience for many people (according to forums/articles/open tickets) to add new launchers to Avant Window Navigator. I have taken a look at it and figured out a rather hacky approach to make it work.
First I will manually create a "desktop" launcher.
( If you already have one, open it with any text editor (vi, gedit, etc..) and make sure it follows the structure of my "desktop" launcher )
In order to create the launcher, I have to know two things:
– the path to the file we would like to launch
– the path to the icon we would like to use
In this example, I am going to create a launcher to some program called Aptana, in your case it may be any other program. I know that Aptana executable file is located here: "/opt/aptana/Aptana". I also found an icon I would like to use for it, and put it here: "/home/user/icons/aptana_48x48.png".
Now by knowing two these things, I can open my favorite text editor (vi, gedit, your favorite.. ) and type the following:
[Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Version=1.0 Type=Application Terminal=false Name[en_US]=aptana Exec=/opt/aptana/Aptana Comment[en_US]=+ RadRails Icon[en_US]=/home/user/icons/aptana_48x48.png Name=aptana Comment=+ RadRails Icon=/home/user/icons/aptana_48x48.png
Notice the Exec and Icon parameters are populated with those two things. Name and Comment can be whichever you’d like them to be, in this case I just like them to make sense.
Now I will save the file (you can save it on your desktop, or anywhere you want your launchers to live) as "aptana.desktop" (permissions could be "-rw-r–r–", or you can make it less restrictive if you like).
And.. I am ready for the final step "drag & drop" (!). For this I go to the directory where I saved the "aptana.desktop" file using Nautilus/Konqueror/Other GUI browser, click on the file, drag it to Avant’s launcher bar, and drop it there. Tam tam tam – it is there -> I am done! So do you!
Make sure your "desktop" file is the format shown above, since it is tested and works.

Feed Opera with Firefox :)
One of my readers wanted to sign up to my feed using his favorite Opera browser. However failed to do that since Opera does not yet understand "feed://" protocol. Hence, I decided to drop this quick note on how to make Opera delegate feeds to others until the times it’s capable ;)
In Opera go to "Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Programs", click on "Add…", and enter "feed" for Protocol and "firefox", or ANY preferred RSS reader in "Open with other application":
Now click "Ok" followed by another "Ok" and enter a "feed://" address to the address bar, for example this one. Once you hit Enter, you favorite RSS Reader (Firefox in my case) will open this feed, and your Opera will feel much better, since it just delegated a heavy unit of a hard work to somebody else ;)
Happy hacking people!

How to Build DIGG in Ruby On Rails (Free Book)
I’ve been playing a lot lately with RoR (Ruby on Rails) and of course I love DIGG, hence I was very pleased to stumble upon a very interesting work by Patrick Lenz, which is a definitely cool and enjoyable free book (pdf) on how to build a full blown DIGG in Ruby on Rails from scratch!
I spent a couple of hours reading and trying, and I am already (!) building the app (or should I say building the DIGG) at this point of writing this post. The book uses Web 2.0 approach which covers a lot of Web 2.0 along the way – very cool! I highly recommend it to anybody who has the same passion, since it really is an awesome read!
Please hurry, as this book is only free (since the moment of me writing this) for "32 days, 14 hours, 21 minutes, 49 seconds" more, and I guess will blend in with many other books that we have to pay for once the time is up (currently it is $26.37 at Amazon).
For something "not very free", but "the best" on Ruby on Rails, there is another great book "Agile Web Development with Rails, 2nd Edition" that can be obtained, well, same place all other "not very free" books are obtained :) here.
It is not in any way an intentional advertisement for any of the links above, I am just so exited reading it, that I could not stop my self from sharing with the rest of the universe! ;)
