So Ubuntu 9.04 has been released and i am also going to give it a try. Just removed my OpenSUSE 11.1 and installed a fresh copy of ubuntu 9.04. This time it seems to me more sound with my hardware configurations. Yet i couldn’t find frequent crashes of FireFox and thus ubuntu. It seems to me more stable version now. Well i am not using ext4 yet. Actually waiting for ubuntu community to make more testes ;). My NVIDIA graphics are running smoothly. I am very happy to back to my OS. I hope this time i would never need to look back to other linux operating system becuase of frequent crashes. Believe me, I really don’t want to look back even:).
Thanks to ubuntu team and ubuntu community for their valuable contribution.
While learning ruby, i went through many resources to know about predefined variables. But i couldn’t understand them at first sight. Finally i understand them and also tried to create some examples based on my learning experience.

I would like to let you know about the ubuntu 9.04 release. Here’s a nice countdown:
While googling around ruby and mobile apps, I came across an exciting ruby framework designed for mobiles having different operating systems like iPhone, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, Symbian and Android. Here is the conference about this frame work given by Adam Blum.
I am very much interested in this platform. Right now, i am struggling with ruby 1.9. I would also try to work with the community of rhodes. Click here for more information.
I switched to ubuntu 8.10 64-bit desktop edition with high expectations. But it couldn’t make me so relaxed. No doubt, It is very good linux distribution, i have ever seen. But Because of frequent crashes of operating system and firefox. I decided to leave ubuntu. I installed Ubuntu 8.10 on my AMD 64-bit processor with 2GB RAM and GIGABYTE M61PME-S2 mother board. It might be some hardware compatibility problem. What ever is this, But i don’t want to switch to windows. So i decided to try some other linux distribution. I decided to go for openSUSE 11.1. I am posting this post from opensuse 11.1. I am working on firefox from 3 hours. Yet i didn’t experience any crash. That’s great!! Read the rest of this entry »
I setup my ubuntu box with svn server and symfony. Here i want to share simple steps to configure symfony and svn server. I will cover the svn access from file system. I am considering you had installed SVN server. If not than follow these instructions. Now let’s install symfony. I will follow the pear installation.
1 2 | pear channel-discover pear.symfony-project.com pear install symfony/symfony |
So it will install symfony framework for you. Now we will configure svn with symfony for the access from file system.
That’s all. It will setup your symfony svn controlled project. I hope it will help some body and save some time.
Well, i have recently started work on the Elgg. It is good flexible social networking engine. Building on Elgg is easy, and because the engine handles common web application and social functionality. It runs on Apache, PHP and MySQL - the same open source platform that the majority of web applications are written in. Elgg is compatible with enterprise technologies like the Zend Platform and any server environment that can run the Apache web server.
The architecture that Elgg uses, is very good and flexible, and it is easy to create and implement plugins in it.
It has also been awarded as best open source social networking platform 2008.

Elgg wins best open source social networking platform 2008.
I know, i am little late to post this. But i am quite happy with symfony new stable release. Symfony team did lot’s of improvements. I started development of “JOBEET” on my local server using day by day tutorial. Yet i completed my 5th day and new routing management just amazed me. I am in the favor of symfony + doctrine and symfony 1.2.1 is bundled with doctrine. Now i will use symfony 1.2.1 in my next projects. I will keep posting about my experience on symfony 1.2.1.
I would like to thank symfony team for such an excellent work.
Yesterday i was completed with “askeet” web application on my local server successfully. It was really great experience to work with symfony. Well personally i have experience of ruby on rails, CakePHP, CodeIgniter and now symfony also.
Exploring around symfony, I came to know about one more database layer “Doctrine”. I found excellent comments about doctrine database layer in symfony. And more over for the future release, Doctrine will be bundled with symfony as a default database layer.
I thought, it’s better to take a short try and it really amazed me. I just read about “Behaviours” one of the key feature of “Doctrine” and i fell in love with this. Curious about other features to give try.
Anyway, here’s a small tutorial to install doctrine 1.0.3 with symfony 1.1.
Browse the document root of your project and type following commands in you bash shell:
$ svn co http://svn.symfony-project.com/plugins/sfDoctrinePlugin/branches/1.1 plugins/sfDoctrinePlugin
It will fetch all required libraries of latest release of “Doctrine” and the version i got today is “Doctrine 1.0.3″. Yes, that’s what i said it will fetch all libraries of current release of “Doctrine”. Thanks to “Jonathan H. Wage” who is maintaining svn branches with current release of “Doctrine” and much more.
