"The tortoise moves about in the water. But can you guess where her thoughts are? There on the bank, where her eggs are lying. Do all your duties in the world, but keep your mind on God." [Original source : http://www.messagefrommasters.com/Ebooks/Spiritual-Books/Gospel_of_Sri_Ramakrishna.pdf]

Hi friends, Few days ago, I needed to use Wireless dongle with Linux PC. As you all know, the Linux support is always the last thing that most device makers have in mind. Becoz of low % of users :( But anyway, I selected a widely available model - Netgear N150 (WNA1100) and got it to work. I though of sharing the steps for others to follow easily. URL : http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k_htc Download and build =================== $cd compat-wireless-3.0-2/ $./scripts/driver-select atheros $make $sudo make install Firmware ======== This driver requires firmware. The newer, properly versioned firmware is at: http://wireless.kernel.org/download/htc_fw/. Newer firmware map: AR9271 - htc_9271.fw The firmware has to be placed in the correct location, usually /lib/firmware. On Ubuntu, please reboot for detection and auto-configuration.

Sometimes I find a similarity between grass, dust and human ego. They keep growing everyday - slowly and  surely. If not cut, cleaned or dissolved respectively, they become big enough in size and are easily observable. Also easy to notice when you are a visitor. Do we have solution for growing ego?

I have been (re-)using a LCD monitor to make (hack) a home-made TV set. Ingredients : 1. LCD monitor - 15" or 17" (to your liking) 2. Set of PC speaker - creative 2.1 or similar 3. External TV tuner box - choose a good quality as this will decide the overall sound and picture quality 4. DTH box - TataSKY, Videocon or any body 5. Power strip (also called extensions) with 4 power outputs. Preferable with individual switches. 5. (Optional) Audio cable for TV tuner to PC speakers. The most interesting part is total cost of ownership - monitor (7,000) + speaker (1000) + tv tuner (500) + DTH (1500) = 9,999/- one of the ingredients must have reduced one rupee somewhere :)) That's it !!! A LCD TV with all modern technology under 10,000 rupees !!! Can't believe it can work : The catch is that once you start using DTH (TataSKY), your TV is doing nothing. TV becomes really dumb and doesn't even need channel flip feature. Channel selection and all TV signal pr...
