server administration is a difficult task

Just a week back I start to manage our GLUG server and since then it has turned out to be a nightmare for me. Every now and then something happens and people start pinging you. Whenever I go out and come to room I just type the url of the server on my browser to see if it is working. It adds a lot to your responsibilities.

making direcories and symbolic links in apache web directory

This made me worried for the past two days. Thanks to IRC I got the solution.

Add these lines at the end of your default-server.conf file for apache. On opensuse it is in /etc/apache2/defualt-server.conf

some people are just unusual

I happen to know one such man he was my mentor, Johnny Jacob (just google him) when I was trying to hack Evolution in summer vacation last year. Nearly one and a half month back he contacted me to work on Evolution again. I was very much excited to do that but I was busy with dhvani those days. I thought that I would do that later on. But then I realized its time for me to think about a job. Yes I definitely need a job. It was then I realized that I cant afford higher studies at least now. So I have dumped the idea of working on any project for a few days until I get a job.

That man suddenly commented on my previous post I never knew he was following me. But it really feels good when some one remembers you. 🙂

setting up an SVN server is as easy as eating cake

I tried to set up an svn server on my laptop today as I have organized a hack session today to bring in more people for hacking FOSS.

I have chosen opendchub for three reasons:

  1. They have seen it working. And they actually use it.

  2. The source code is as less as 10 c files.

  3. The project is dead. I have already applied for the maintainership. You dont apply please 😛

Codecracker stats

After the event finished I calculated the stats. This really thrilled me
