No verification only frustration

If anyone made a claims for following project/things then it is the whole responsibility of the organization to verify the claims before publishing publicly on their website or using them for their internal use/distribution otherwise they are entitled for copyright infringement :
1.SAS (Student Administrative) was developed by me under the Guidance of Dr. Neelashwere IP University during Dec 2007.
2.Anugoonj 2009/2010 website were developed by Web Development team of Anugoonj #noone from CSE branch of University is involved in it.
3.Project hosted on this website are available for public viewing / demonstration /No-one can claim the originality of the content except me (i.e. the author)*/

I think the Organization like Google / OpenStreetMap / KDE , should verify the claims or make the profile publicly available so that if anyone claims others project then it can be reported to them , by the original author.

New Rupee Symbol in Debian

Steps to include new rupee font in Debian:

1.Download the file named Rupee Foradian.ttf from the the Foradian Technology blog “http://blog.foradian.com/rupee-font-version-20”

2.In your Debian machine login as root or use su

mkdir /usr/share/fonts/ttf
cp Rupee_Foradian.ttf /usr/share/fonts/ttf
apt-get install ttmkfdir
cd /usr/share/fonts/ttf
ttmkfdir  > fonts.scale
mkfontdir
cd /usr/share/fonts/ttf/
chmod 644 /usr/share/fonts/ttf/Rupee_Foradian.ttf

For other Linux versions see the below presentation :

3.Now either reboot your computer or restart gdm and start enjoying Indian rupee Symbol 😛

Right hand does not know what the left one is doing #reinvention

SYNC : This is not a word but it speaks more things then that.

1.We have already seen that CDAC has come-up with a  customized OS BOSS (Bharat Operating System Solutions) Linux http://www.bosslinux.in which claims to be “”relevant for use in the Government domain.”” , which indirectly means it will be suitable for e-governance . Soon after this come SchoolOS http://schoolos.org which is joint collaboration of NCERT , IIT Delhi and Knowledge Commons , which aims at the schools going children.Now irrespective of the above  stated fact we have this  , which means that money invested on BOSS Linux can’t be utilized because now they are trying to reinvent the wheel with the same aim which BOSS Linux has . Also on the other hand it would be interesting so see whether SSA will accept SchoolOS with the same level of acceptance as of NCERT or they will again do the things again.

I think Govt. should invest on SchoolOS nd BOSS Linux instead of going for or starting other project from ground Zero.

2.As we know from IGNOU to DU’s  ULTRA high budget E-Learning project to other ICT programs everyone relies on *oo*le {no its not google :P)  but again IIT Kanpur is developing the same system {http://www.cdachyd.in/eleltech/presentations/session4/session4_IT2.pdf} under the Govt. Project Brihaspati , which is again similar to driving Maruti if you can get a Merc for the same 😀

The fact here to note is that : Right hand does not know what the left one is doing

Web War “Web Server the unsung Heroes”

Everyone of us talk frequently about the web browser when it comes to web. We in this era are enjoying web services like twitter , google ,facebook using these browser.But the beauty of these services lies more on the web servers which are actually running them and making them reliable and fast enough to be enjoyed.The time when the facebook open sourced its web server tornado source , this debate has actually come in existence that “which is the best web server out their “.. although their are many contenders from nginx to apache , apache to cherokee and cherokee to tornado but the big thing is which is actually the best.Having read the following article I decided to experiment upon this on my own.

Here’s the chart, taken from Wikipedia:

Performance on AMD Opteron, 2.4GHz, 4 Cores

Server Setup Requests per Second
Tornado nginx ,4 frontends 8213
Tornado 1 single threaded frontend 3353
Django Apache/mod_wsgi 2223
web.py Apache/mod_wsgi 2066
CherryPy standalone 785

I have Intel dual core2.0 processor with the 1 GB RAM, I have used Jmeter for load testing.And the result are really stunning tornado leads the race with maximum load whereas apache and nginx are far behind for static pages . for 1000 user apache consumes 385 Mb whereas nginx around 357mb and for another 1000 users Apache extends to 486mb wheras nginx settles at 415mb .for maximum loads nginx run fines for 7859 user for static content whereas Apache has made the system unstable for around 5000 concurrent users.But taking into consideration the user friendliness and small deployments the apache is really nice , it is easy to be configured and also almost suit every application type. Also it is easy scalable as a lot of documentation is available.Nginx is a great choice if you ant to deploy python based web site.Tornado on the other hand is more application oriented if anyone has got the tricks to modify it ROCK’s…..
