Perl Hello World on Ubuntu
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Hello World\n";
Those are 2 lines for the Hello World application.
My question is: How can I know the first line should be #!/usr/bin/perl ?
Well, open the terminal, then run which perl
It will show you the location of the Perl interpreter.
To run the code, just type perl hello.pl in terminal.
Now, I want to make the file 'executable'. Go to the directory where I saved the file, then run:
chmod +x hello.pl
./hello.pl
+x is used to put executable attribute to the file.
What about ./hello.pl? Why do we need ./ ? Why don't just type hello.pl?
For the complete explanation, see this website http://www.linfo.org/dot_slash.html
When we execute the file, we need to put the absolute path. The easiest way to put the absolute path is by using ./
./ refers to the current directory.

Unmount cdrom in Ubuntu
I wanted to remove a CD from my computer. I pressed the eject button, it didn't work. I right-clicked the CD icon and select 'Unmount' or 'Eject', it didn't work.
So, I tried to open the terminal and run this command 'umount -l /media/cdrom'..and it worked!
What is -l option? According to man page:
Lazy unmount. Detach the filesystem from the filesystem hierarchy
now, and cleanup all references to the filesystem as soon as
it is not busy anymore. (Requires kernel 2.4.11 or later.)

Mount SMB shares
I have 2 ubuntu machines. One of the machine acts as the file server. I want to mount the shared folder to the other machine.
Firstly, install Samba File System and Samba client:
sudo apt-get install smbfs smbclient
Secondly,use smbmount command to mount the share.
Ex: The shared folder is located in 192.168.1.2 machine, and the folder name is java.
I wanted to mount it to /home/adi/java
smbmount //192.168.1.2/java /home/adi/java -o username=adi,pass=mysecretpassword
Done.

Get MDB2's mysql package
I installed Pear a few years ago but I only used it a few times.
This morning I decided to try the MDB2 package.
I tried the sample code from the Pear website. When I ran the code, I got this error unable to find package 'MDB2_Driver_mysql' file 'MDB2\Driver\mysql.php'
So, I had to update the package. 2 things that I had to do:
1. 'pear upgrade MDB2' to upgrade MDB2 package to the latest version
2. 'pear install MDB2_Driver_mysql' to get the mysql package

MySQL timestamp
When you insert a new row into a table, sometimes we need to record the time of insertion. For example, you have a table called User, which contains columns such as userName and userCreationDate.
To insert the creation date, I often used statement like this:
INSERT INTO USERS (userName,userCreationDate) VALUES ('yourusername',now())
Well, there's an easier way. You can just change the type of userCreationDate column from Date to Timestamp. MySQL will automatically update the column everytime you insert a new row. By the way, I used MySQL Administrator to modify the column type.
Now I've got a new problem. When the row is updated (ex: changing the userName), the userCreationDate is also updated to the current time. I don't want the creation date to be changed, but I can't find the reason by looking the table information in MySQL Administrator. So, let's use open the MySQL using the command prompt.
Type this command 'SHOW CREATE TABLE USERS'. You'll see something like this:
`userCreationDate` timestamp NOT NULL default CURRENT_TIMESTAMP on update CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
The problem is in the 'on update CURRENT_TIMESTAMP' statement. It means the column is automatically updated when the row is modified. To turn off this functionality, just alter the table:
ALTER TABLE USERS MODIFY COLUMN userCreationDate TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
That's all.

Regular expression to check email address (PHP)
Here's the regex to check email address according to totallyphp.co.uk
^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$
The valid characters for the username part are: underscore,hyphen,letter from a to z, number from 0 to 9.
The valid characters for the domain part are: same as username, but it doesn't include the underscore. In addition, the last part of the domain can only contain 2 or 3 letters (ex: com,au).
What's wrong with this regular expression?
The obvious one is the last part. I own a domain name that end with 'info'. 'info' has 4 characters, so it won't match the last rule, which can only accept 2 or 3 character.
Now, let's take a look at the first part: ^[_a-z0-9-]+
Based on this part, the email address can start with an underscore, letter, number, or hyphen. However, email address can only start with a letter or number. These email address are not valid: _jim@example.com, -jim@example.com
Let's improve the regular expression.
To fix the first mistake, just change the last part from {2,3} to {2,4}.
For the second one, we have to make sure that email address must not start with an underscore or hyphen.
We have to change ^[_a-z0-9-]+ to ^[a-z0-9]+
Then, we have to include the underscore and hyphen in the next part: [_a-z0-9-]*
The complete one is: ^[a-z0-9]+[_a-z0-9-]*(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,4})$
Update:
When I did the practice, I misplaced the hyphen position, and the regex didn't work properly. Instead of [_a-z0-9-], I wrote [_-a-z0-9]
Hyphen has a special meaning in regular expression. So it's better to 'escape' the hyphen. This one will work [_\-a-z0-9]

Sharing printer connected to Windows 7
My printer is connected to the Windows 7 PC. I would like to add the printer to my XP PC. However, my XP PC couldn't see the Windows 7 PC. Well, Windows 7 has a concept called Homegroup. It seems that Homegroup is only used for Windows 7. So, what I have to do is to leave the Homegroup, then join the Workgroup.
If you go to Network section in control panel, there's an option to leave the Homegroup.
To change the Workgroup, click the start button, right click on Computer and choose Properties. Change the workgroup, then restart the computer.
Next, what I have to do is to activate the printer sharing (right click on printer name).
That's all the steps needed in Windows 7. Now my XP PC can see the printer attached to Windows 7.

Can't access Netcomm NB9W's settings page
After I changed some settings in NB9W, I couldn't access the settings page in web browser anymore. However, I still could ping it successfully.

The next thing that I did was to reset the router. Well..that's all..I can access the router now.

Viewing NEF file in Linux Mint
NEF file is Nikon's raw image format. When I tried to open it in Eye of GNOME, I could only see the image in 160x120 pixels.
I remember that I never have this problem with Ubuntu. So, I downloaded the Ubuntu's image viewer called gThumb.
Well, gThumb can open the file perfectly. But I've got one more problem. Everytime I opened the image, it was displayed in the full size. Most of my photos are 3900 pixels wide, so I don't want to open it in its original size.
To change this behaviour, go to Edit > Preferences, go to Viewer tab. In the 'After loading an image' options, choose 'Fit to window if larger'.
Done.

Second argument in javascript's link method (CakePHP)
To create a link to javascript files, we can use 'link' method.
For example, if I type echo $javascript->link('tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js',false);
The second argument is 'false'. It means the script link will be displayed in the html's head section.
If it is 'true', the link will be displayed in html's body section.
Well, there's actually more story to how CakePHP choose where to put the link.
Actually, if second argument is 'false', the link will be displayed in $scripts_for_layout section, and if it's 'true', it will be displayed in $content_for_layout.
Both $scripts_for_layout and $content_for_layout is written inside the layout file.
If you create your own layout, you should find the file inside app/views/layouts folder.
If you use the default layout, the file is cake/libs/view/layouts/default.ctp
You will see that the $scripts_for_layout is written inside the head section, and $content_for_layout is written inside the body section.
For example, if I type echo $javascript->link('tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js',false);
The second argument is 'false'. It means the script link will be displayed in the html's head section.
If it is 'true', the link will be displayed in html's body section.

New Mic + Rain and Tears video
I've just purchased the Logitech USB Desktop Microphone. I decided to purchase it after viewing some reviews from youtube. The sound quality of my old guitar videos was really poor. So, I hope the audio can be improved by using a microphone.
At first, I was really disappointed with the mic. The audio quality was only improved a little. I can still hear the background noise in my video. However, when I use the windows sound recorder, the audio was really good. So, there must be something wrong with my quickcam software.
I didn't realise that Windows Movie Maker can also capture video from webcam. So, I tried to record a new video using the Movie Maker. I'm very happy with the result. It is much better than my previous videos.
This is my first video which was recorded using the new mic. Enjoy!

Guitar - Spirited Away
This is the guitar version of Spirited Away's ending theme.
I started to play guitar when I was in High School. However, I never learn it seriously. In recent years, I've seen so many good guitarists in Youtube. I've got so much inspirations from them. Recently, I play guitar more often than before.
The first video that I uploaded to Youtube is Sprited Away's ending theme. If you've seen the movie, you will agree that the ending theme is very beautiful piece of music.
I recorded my playing with my old webcam. The sound quality is not good. I hope I can get a better camera soon. I hope you will enjoy my playing.
