So… here is something with which i am inloved with this week :).

a. Making CD’s for conference

b. Making a small podeum design in solidworks.

Details :

a. So got this request to make cd’s for someone here in mechanical department, and also their cd covers/lables. Nothing too extreme of a request but am still waiting for approval of my cd design i made by them, so i can convert it the printer friendly version (Epson R260 is the printer we will be using). So, hopefully by friday they will have both content and design approved so we go in production :). Probably will need to burn atleast 150 CD’s and print labels on each, so look at about 3-4 hrs of cover snapping and 8-16 hrs of cd burning ahead of me :). (KOOL but boring stuff)

b. Now using Solidworks is something really cool and fun, for my biomedical project i got my hands on training (only small intro) to how to make few cool shapes (like rectangles and circles ) and exctuding them and cutting them and stuff. This design we are doing for Podium does not seem too bad… Took me however few hrs to figure out how to start actually building it, started with the wrong view (top view) at first but that was not working out well , so looked at some tutorial and found that he started with the right plane.

So i decided to be smart like the solid works tutorial guy ! and ended up making the initial podium design in like 5 mins …… That was like yesterday, but still am waiting to hear back from the shops people of what kinda sheet metal thickness is available so i can accordingly have to design it to give it the strength it needs. Making cable runners is on it is fun , might as well design something else like the Clamp to hold it in place on the table too.. today.

But its fun and a nice switch from daily webmaster stuff to mechanical design stuff (mind u i aint no mechincal engineer, more like i am electronics engineer ) .

I shall post the design here on the blog when its all finished for people to download and look at my noobish solidworks skills !!

Hi,

So i got a server from kevworks.net last night for an amazingly low price (its a dual core, 2gig ram with 500 gig space and 10mbps unmetered ) and so i decided to use it for my main hosting backup portal. It did not come with any control panel so decided to install the free version of Lxadmin on the same. Ran into like bunch of troubles (trust me i would have kept going and going and finally screwed up the server is i did not google up the problems it was showing me) . So to make it easy for you to install lxadmin on your fresh centos 5.1 box here are the steps/instructions.

1. First of all make sure selinuxis disabled (found out this was my root of all problems). TO disable selinux do this :

Thats right folks, just submitted today this personal blog of mine to dmoz.org for review. Sumitted to http://www.dmoz.org/Society/People/Personal_Homepages/Weblogs/B/ and to http://www.dmoz.org/Society/People/Personal_Homepages/B/ as suggested by mr. freeystyler from Dmoz Resources.

Lets see how it pans out, and if dmoz has some blacklist going where they blacklist all sites owned by bunny :).

Their captcha thing works though, read at places that it does not work, not anymore, so thats a good thing !.

So does bunny thinks dmoz will approve the site, well to be frank time will tell not sure if they are still hung up over there at dmoz about me running a dmoz forums or not. Or maybe its just summer time now and everyone busy trying to make their wives(that like more than 1) happy !!

Anyways feel like writing about the new wordpress it looks so sleek. So check out the other post !!

Hi once again,

Spent few hours today fixing Tamer’s usb key’s he send to me (arrived this Friday just in nick of time before i left work for home ) . Here is yet another USB Fixing blog post, today two sticks each with Controller MXT6208A and Memory Samsung 725/ K98G08U0M/ WNE197PA ( thats actually 8 gigaBIT memory, that means 1 gigaBYTE or 1 GB of capacity).

Sticks as usual came with the fancy shiny 16 GB stickers on them. I really liked the blue looking key, I wish it had been easy to rip open, but had a metal casing on top of it so I had to peel that away first and now stick looks hideous without that casing :(. The white one I was able to put back together without cosmetic damage !!

Lets start by posting some pictures first .
