Wannabe domainer



You are a wannabe domainer if...

=> Every new event in this world provokes you to buy a domain name
Eg. the worldcup 2010 is coming soon and you buy a
worldcup2010.com

or even

Anjalina jolie has adopted a kid and you buy a
Anjalinajoliekids.com

=> Any site you see with a PR 5 plus, you try to buy its typos
Eg. wallstreetjournal.com and you buy a
walstreetjournal.com

=> A new tld or cc-tld launched provokes you to buy a domain name
Eg. dnforum.com exist but after the launch of the Cameroon cc-tld (*.cm) you buy a
dnforum.cm

=> If you use the domain name check availability more than ten time in a day
Eg. I want to add a finance related site to my domain portfolio, hmm which of these are available

LAFinance.com
NewJerseyFinance.com
CanadaFinance.com

=> You have an account with more than five registrars
Eg. Godaddy NetworkSolutions net4Domains

Converting Gedit into Textmate


Yes, so lately I have been developing using the Ruby on Rails framework a lot. To my irony there ain't much choice nor there exist any really really good IDE or editor for Rails on Ubuntu(or rather Linux in general). You could use VIM or Emacs but for some reason that I cant understand I choose not to use them.

My favorite text editor on ubuntu was Gedit. Although by default you don't get a hell lot of features in it but the best I liked was tabbed browsing. I guess thats a common thing in most Linux GUI based applications. Ok so this is what your Gedit would look like:
Hmm.. so lets quickly start the process of changing Gedit into something close to textmate:
1) Lets quickly download Jose's Gedit bundle.
2) Edit the mime types file and add the below mentioned lines

sudo nano /etc/mime.types
text/x-ruby-source                           rhtml html.erb
text/x-eruby rjs
text/x-yaml yml

3) Update the new extensions mime types
sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime


4) Copy the x-rhtml to the directory /usr/share/mime/packages

sudo cp gmate2/mime/x-rhtml.xml /usr/share/mime/packages
5) Copy extensions ruby.lang, rhtml.lang and rjs.lang the directory /usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs
sudo cp gmate2/langs/*.lang /usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs
6) Update plugins
cp -R gmate2/plugins/* ~/.gnome2/gedit/plugins/
7) Copy the snippets (cuts)
cp -R gmate2/snippets/* ~/.gnome2/gedit/snippets/
8) Copy the colors

cp gmate2/styles/Rubycius.xml ~/.gnome2/gedit/styles/
9) Remove a directory of your gnome settings
rm -Rf /tmp/gconfd-warlock

where warlock is your username.

10) Open the Gedit and on the menu: Edit> Preferences> Plugins tab and:
  • Gemini (May auto complete parentheses, quotation marks, brackets, etc.)
  • Snippets
  • Snap Open (the key combination of CTRL + ALT + O opens a dialog where you can find the files you want)
11) Choose the theme "Rubycius" on the menu: Edit> Preferences tab "Fonts and Colors"

12) Finally, if you want in the menu: Edit> Preferences tab "View" can: Show line numbers, and current line Highlight Show right margin.

If for some reason the formating dont appear then quickly go to the terminal and hit
sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime

If everything is done right you should get this sort of output(text highlighting) for your files you open:

domain names


I once heard, "So whats in the name" and now I can very firmly say its all in the domain name.... today I will be talking about few domain names and their peculiar characteristics. People own long domain names to catch attention and it is the same with people who own really short domain names. Generic word domains are got for their obvious marketing value. So I would put t in this way... every domain name has some interest attached to it.. if it doesn't then it wouldn't survive as a domain name.

SHORTEST domain names

The shortest known domain name right now was recently acquired by Google, with the purpose of making it easier for Chinese users to find Google?s main site. The domain name is "g.cn". Most single letter domain names are supposed to be reserved by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). However, there are a few cases of this not being so:

* http://www.Z.com owned by Nissan
* http://www.Q.comowned by Qwest
* http://www.X.com owned by PayPal.

Google was not allowed by IANA to buy g.com, but they got lucky and found a one letter-shorter alternative in "g.cn".

Setup GIT for Rails


GIT is a popular version control system designed to handle very large projects with speed and efficiency; it is used mainly for various open source projects, most notably the Linux kernel. Git falls in the category of distributed source code management tools, similar to e.g. GNU Arch or Monotone (or BitKeeper in the proprietary world). Every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with full revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a central server. Basically it Rocks.

I am on a Linux box so this is what I need to install GIT

sudo apt-get install git-tk git-svn git-email git-doc git-cvs git-core git-arch

once this is done you can test the GIT setup by typing GIT in the terminal. You should typically get this output.

So now your GIT is up and ready to fire. Now navigate to your rails project folder. Follow these steps to create your repository:
  1. Initialize a new git repo
  2. Create a .gitignore for files git should ignore while committing
  3. Default values for a .gitignore
  4. In case you don't see a /log /vendor /tmp | note use sudo(super user) if these directories are already created but are empty
  5. Commit your files in the repo | again do this from the home of the project
  6. You can check the status of the repo

// Initialize a new git repo
git init
//Create a .gitignore for files git should ignore while committing
touch .gitignore
//Default vaules for a .gitignore
DS_Store
log/*.log
tmp/**/*
config/database.yml
//In case you dont see a /log /vendor /tmp | note use sudo if these directories are already created but are empty
touch /log .gitignore /vendor .gitignore /tmp .gitignore
//Adding your files for the repo | do this from the home of the project
git add .
//Commit your files in the repo | again do this from the home of the project
git commit -a -m "Some message here... mostly the reason to commit"
//You can check the status of the repo
git status

And that pretty much covers the basics. Till the next time.... peace

Selecting the right domain name


Selecting the right domain name is important not only of SEO or type-in traffic but also for what it symbolizes. Here are some of the mistakes done in the past.

1. A site called 'Who Represents' where you can find the name of the agent that represents a celebrity. Their domain name. wait for it. Is www.whorepresents.com

2 Experts Exchange, a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views at www.expertsexchange.com

3. Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island at www.penisland.net

4. Need a therapist? Try Therapist Finder at www.therapistfinder.com

5. Then of course, there's the Italian Power Generator company. www.powergenitalia.com

6. And now, we have the Mole Station Native Nursery, based in New South Wales: www.molestationnursery.com

7. If you're looking for computer software, there's always www.ipanywhere.com

8. Welcome to the First Cumming Methodist Church. Their website is www.cummingfirst.com

9. Then, of course, there's these brainless art designers, and their whacky website: www.speedofart.com

10. Want to holiday in Lake Tahoe? Try their brochure website at www.gotahoe.com
