much thanks to: http://www.programmersheaven.com/mb/beginnercpp/367391/367391/newbie-programming-error/ – There are bunch of sites with code for print_it.c and programmersheaven.com was the only one that had working code.

code:

/* print_it.c-- This program prints a listing with line numbers! */
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
void do_heading(char *filename);
int line = 0, page = 0;
int main( int argv, char *argc[] )
{
char buffer[256];
FILE *fp;
if( argv < 2)
{
fprintf(stderr, "\nProper Usage is: ");
fprintf(stderr, "\n\nprint_it filename.ext\n" );
return(1);
}
if (( fp = fopen( argc[1], "r" )) == NULL )
{
fprintf( stderr, "Error opening file, %s!", argc[1]);
return(1);
}
page = 0;
line = 1;
do_heading( argc[1]);
while( fgets( buffer, 256, fp ) != NULL )
{
if( line % 55 == 0 )
do_heading( argc[1] );
fprintf( stdout, "%4d:\t%s", line++, buffer );
}
fprintf( stdout, "\f" );
fclose(fp);
return 0;
}
void do_heading( char *filename )
{
page++;
if ( page > 1)
fprintf( stdout, "\f" );
fprintf( stdout, "Page: %d, %s\n\n", page, filename );
}
/* print_it.c-- This program prints a listing with line numbers! */#include <stdlib.h>#include <stdio.h>
void do_heading(char *filename);
int line = 0, page = 0;
int main( int argv, char *argc[] ){char buffer[256];FILE *fp;
if( argv < 2){fprintf(stderr, "\nProper Usage is: ");fprintf(stderr, "\n\nprint_it filename.ext\n" );return(1);}
if (( fp = fopen( argc[1], "r" )) == NULL ){fprintf( stderr, "Error opening file, %s!", argc[1]);return(1);}
page = 0;line = 1;do_heading( argc[1]);
while( fgets( buffer, 256, fp ) != NULL ){if( line % 55 == 0 )do_heading( argc[1] );
fprintf( stdout, "%4d:\t%s", line++, buffer );}
fprintf( stdout, "\f" );fclose(fp);return 0;}
void do_heading( char *filename ){page++;
if ( page > 1)fprintf( stdout, "\f" );
fprintf( stdout, "Page: %d, %s\n\n", page, filename );}

now all that’s left is:

gcc print_it.c -o print

./print print_it.c

1. Download WebcamStudio from the creators site at www.ws4gl.org. This will eventually forward you to sourceforge. Grab the .deb file from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/webcamstudio/files/

2. Install the deb file by double clicking it. This will open up the Ubuntu deb installer. The deb installer is now included in the Ubuntu Software on newer releases. Click the install button. (Note: If you have Synaptic open, the installer will hang until Synaptic is closed. This is a bug in Ubuntu)

3. WebcamStudio is installed on the Main Menu under the Sound and Video section. Click the WebcamStudio link to launch the app. You can also press Alt+F2 and type in webcamstudio.

4. Once WebcamStudio launches you will need to select your webcam under devices. Double click your webcam.

5. Everything else should be easy. Click the play button under the Source Layer section. To verify that your webcam is working, click the output menu on the menu bar and select Show Preview. This will open up a preview window.

6. As you can see the coloring is off. To fix this we are going to apply an effect by clicking the effect tab and selecting SwapRedBlue and then enabling the effect by clicking the move button.

7. Now that everything is good we are going to go to justin.tv and login to our account. Click the Go Live! button in the top right and the select webcam. If you only have one video source available on your pc, the video feed from the webcam we previously configured should be displayed.

8. Next, lets do something special with WebcamStudio. Select the Output menu on the WebcamStudio application and then select SinglePaint. This will open up another preview panel that has paint options. We can use this to paint anything on the video stream we would like. If you like these kind of things, make sure to check out the effects tab in WebcamStudio.

Please feel free to donate to www.ws4gl.org.

After switching a Windows XP VM to bridged ethernet, the XP VM was no longer able to access the internet. I found a few solutions to this problem and this one seems to be the easiest.

To fix the loss of internet when using a bridged adapter on Virtualbox, configure the VM to have both a NAT and Bridged ethernet adapter. (see the screenshots below). To do this select the VM (must be powered off), click the settings button and then navigate to the network section of the Settings wizard. Configure Adapter 1 to bridged and then enable and configure Adapter 2 to be NAT. Press OK to save the changes and then turn on the VM. Give it a few seconds for the resources to be provisioned. You should now have access to both local and internet resources from the VM.

The NAT interface will be used to connect to internet resources, while the bridged adapter will be used to connect to local resources. This allows you to RDP  or console into the VM from other computers on your local network and still have internet access on the VM.

Adapter 1 (Bridged)

Adapter 2 (NAT)

My favorite so far: Links2

Links2 is a new revision of Links that supports graphics! It is extremely fast, easy to use, and a great way to browse the internet without the clutter. Sites like Facebook will not load, but for reading the news it does really well! If you feel like you don’t need graphics, try just plain Links. It can be used from the terminal and is more than enough to enjoy the web experience.

Close, but no cigar: Dillo

Dillo is another lightweight alternative. Supporting tabbed browsing, Dillo is fast and lightweight, but for some reason lacks the charm of Links. It also seems to crash on my Ubuntu 9.10 install. A major downer.

For those that are feeling adventurous: Opera Mini beta 2 with Microemulator

Opera Mini is by far the best browser I have found in the mobile arena. Why not use it on the computer? If you don’t mind doing a little dirty work, you can get Opera Mini running on your desktop. It is not as fast as Links2 or Dillo, but the browsing experience is closer to what you would experience on Firefox, Chrome, or IE. Opera Mini is an impressive browser, and on a slow connection it makes a great Desktop browser. Opera Mini has a password manager and supports cookies! YUM!

Full fledged browser (not lightweight): Google Chrome

With the addition of Extensions to Google Chrome, I have almost fully transitioned from Firefox to Chrome! If you haven’t tried it out yet, please do. You will most likely be thoroughly impressed with its’ speed and generous real estate dedicated to browsing!

Step 1

Download LightCtrl here.

Step 2

The program is unsigned. You must get it signed to install it. You will need your IMEI to do this.

Find your IMEI by typing *#06# on the touch keypad of the Nokia 5800.

Using your IMEI, visit SymbianSigned.com and get LightCtrl signed.

Step 3

Transfer the signed LightCtrl file to your Nokia 5800.

Step 4

Using the File Manager(Applications->File Manager), browse to the location of the LightCtrl file and install it.

Step 5

Once installed, open the application and set the Primary Keyboard setting to “Light off”. DONE! In addition, I set the Primary Screen setting to “Control by System”.

BOINC

BOINC is a utility program that uses distributed computing concepts to allow scientists to gain access to untapped computing resources. By freely obtaining additional resources, scientents are able to solve problems faster. An example of a BOINC project is the World Community Grid:

World Community Grid:

From their website: “World Community Grid’s mission is to create the largest public computing grid benefiting humanity. Our work is built on the belief that technological innovation combined with visionary scientific research and large-scale volunteerism can change our world for the better. Our success depends on individuals – like you – collectively contributing their unused computer time to this not-for-profit endeavor.”

Two of the WCG’s projects:

Clean Energy:

From their website: “The Clean Energy project uses computational chemistry and the willingness of people to help look for the best molecules possible for: organic photovoltaics to provide inexpensive solar cells, polymers for the membranes used in fuel cells for electricity generation, and how best to assemble the molecules to make those devices. By helping us search combinatorially among thousands of potential systems, you can contribute to this effort.”

Help Conquer Cancer

From their website: ”Our goal is to improve the results of protein X-Ray crystallography. Improving the protein crystallography pipeline will enable researchers to determine the structure of many cancer-related proteins faster.  This will lead to improving our understanding of the function of these proteins, and enable potential pharmaceutical interventions to treat this deadly disease.”

How to get started with BOINC?

Getting started with BOINC is easy. To begin, download BOINC.

To install, Just double-click the file previously downloaded and continue through the prompts. To start using BOINC you need to attach to a project. To do this go to Tools->Attach to project… (Screen below)

Another screen pops up and you need to click Next.  A list of projects is given. I would recommend selecting the World Community Grid Project. Select the project and click Next. If you are a new user, you will need to visit the World Community Grid site and create a new account by going here. The process is simple and it will ask you to download the software again, but you don’t need to. You just need to enter in your registration details in the BOINC application here:

If everything is successful, you will see the following screen and now be contributing to solving some of the worlds computational challenges! If you have a good deal of extra computing power you can join multiple projects and split your resources between them.

Share Torrents

More often than not you hear about torrents in a negative light due to their popularity contributing to copyright infringement. However, torrents are just as an effective way to distribute legal digital materials. If you are on an unlimited internet connection or do not always use the bandwidth you purchase, you can donate unused bandwidth to help distribute files. This will cut costs for the entities creating the materials and most likely result in everyone getting what they want to download faster than they would otherwise. Sharing is caring.

How to get started sharing Torrents?

To begin, you will need to download a BitTorrent client. A simple client to use is uTorrent. A full featured client is Azureus. uTorrent has come a long way, so I only use uTorrent now. Download uTorrent here. Installation is straight-forward and there is a wizard that begins when you first start uTorrent. It is pretty good and you can normally just use the settings it determines. Since beginning this post, I have switched BitTorrent clients to Deluge. Deluge is cross-platform and open source.

Now that you have installed a BitTorrent client, time to find some torrents. If you are into music, a good place to find legal torrents to download, listen to, and share is www.jamendo.com. A good place to start is the most popular albums of the week. Click one of the albums and the next screen will have a link that says download. The first time you download a file it will ask you if you want to download it via Torrent. Select yes. If it does not, you will need to create a profile and under “Edit Preferences” select Torrent as your download format. See the screen below:

I also like to share images of Ubuntu. Ubuntu is a free and open source operating system that is making linux easier to use for everyone. If you haven’t tried it yet, I recommend you do. Especially if you’ve tried nix before and become disgruntled. A list of Ubuntu torrents can be found here. If you want to test drive Ubuntu without blowing away your current Operating System. Try Wubi!

Tor (wikipedia entry)

Without going into the nitty gritty, which is described on both of the links above, Tor is a way to help people interact with the internet in an anonymous manner. I have pasted a section of the Tor website below to give you an idea of what people use Tor for:

Why Normal people use Tor

• They protect their privacy from unscrupulous marketers and identity thieves.Internet Service Providers (ISPs) sell your Internet browsing records to marketers or anyone else willing to pay for it. ISPs typically say that they anonymize the data by not providing personally identifiable information, but this has proven incorrect. A full record of every site you visit, the text of every search you perform, and potentially userid and even password information can still be part of this data. In addition to your ISP, the websites (and search engines) you visit have their own logs, containing the same or more information.
• They protect their communications from irresponsible corporations. All over the Internet, Tor is being recommended to people newly concerned about their privacy in the face of increasing breaches and betrayals of private data. From lost backup tapes, to giving away the data to researchers, your data is often not well protected by those you are supposed to trust to keep it safe.
• They protect their children online. You’ve told your kids they shouldn’t share personally identifying information online, but they may be sharing their location simply by not concealing their IP address. Increasingly, IP addresses can be literally mapped to a city or even street location, and can reveal other information about how you are connecting to the Internet. In the United States, the government is pushing to make this mapping increasingly precise.
• They research sensitive topics. There’s a wealth of information available online. But perhaps in your country, access to information on AIDS, birth control, Tibetan culture, or world religions is behind a national firewall

How to get started with Tor?

A tutorial for getting setup with Tor can be found on the Tor documentation page here. Tor can get you into trouble if you are operating as an exit. Operating as a relay s the safest option.

Have Fun!

Feel free to ask any questions you might have. For some reason, the rendering in the wordpress post editor and web browsers is completely different. I am working on getting this sorted out.

How to Install Menu Editor:

In Firefox go to the Tools Menu

-> Click Add-Ons
