Long time no see

Actually, I wasn't in the position to see anyone apart from my friends who came to see me daily. I had been completely bed ridden since a week under the influence of viral infection. Now things are sorted ot and me back on track.

So tried openbox as my next desktop manager, watched some romantic movies and suddenly jumped to 8MM after getting bored. Loved it !!

Narayanomics contd..

A whole civilization has come to an abrupt stalemate because its men had no better basis of living than public opinion.



R. K. Narayan (in Mr. Sampath)





-- Too good an observation. And especially, I believe that I am contributing a lot to this stalemate. A mere self-analysis procured by the book, though in totality it didn't turn out to be a briliant entertainment.

Narayanomics

If you are going to reserve a seat for various representatives of minorities, you could as well reserve one for the greatest minority in the world- namely , God. A seat must be reserved for Him in every council and assembly and cabinet, then we shall perhaps see things going right in the world.




R. K. Narayan (in Mr. Sampath)

Phir koi aaya dil-e-zaar! nahin koi nahin


rahroo hoga kaheen or chala jayey gaa


dhal chuki raat, bikharney laga taaroun ka ghubaar


larhkharaanay lagay aewaanoun main khuwaabeeda charaagh


sogayi raasta tak tak k hur ik rahguzar


ajnabi khaak nay dhundlaa diyey qadmoun k suraagh


gul karo shamain, barhadou may-o-meena-o-ayyaagh


apnay beykhuwaab kawaarhoun ko muqaffal karlo


ab yahan koi nahin, koi nahin aayey gaa!!

Mammo - - awesome movie!

kaise reviews - ye ghazal hi kafi hai!





Yeh Faasle Teri Galiyon Ke Hamse Tai Na Huye

Hazaar Baar Ruke Hum, Hazar Baar Chale



Na Jaane Kaun Si Mittee Watan Ki Mittee Hai

Nazar Mein Dhool Jigar Mein Liye Qaraar Chale



Ye Kaisi Sarhadein Hein Uljhee Huee Pairoon Mein

Hum Apne Ghar Ki Taraf Ruk Ke Baar Baar Chale

xfce "set as desktop" and random desktop background wallpaper option

now these two options were what i missed much in my xfce desktop. so i tried to google and came up with a trick solution.

as u can easily google out "killall -USR1 xfdesktop" works as charm for changing the desktop bg from the list of images (set in the desktop settings wizard. so here's what i did-

1. set as desktop context menu - put this in a new custom action of thunar

====================================
Name: Set as Desktop
Command: echo '# xfce backdrop list\n%f'>$HOME/.config/xfce4/desktop/backdrops.list;killall -USR1 xfdesktop
File pattern: *
Appears if selection contains: Image Files
====================================

Note: u can also put it into mirage custom actions - if u use mirage as ur image viewer. btw, mirage is a very light weight decent image viewer much better than eog etc...

2. script for choosing random wallpaper in xfce: this script was actually written for gnome by someone else (David Loschavio, Steven Ingelgem). I modified it for xfce.

====================================
#!/bin/bash
# script: change_backgrounds.sh - bash version
# version 2007.3.7
# description: randomly replace gnome background with one from a directory
# credits: David Loschiavo [http://www.djlosch.com], Steven Van Ingelgem, Sudhanshu [http://home.iitk.ac.in/~sudhansh]
# license: GPL
# change bg_path to ur wallpapers folder. the subfolders are automatically added.

bg_path="/media/D/XTRA/wallpapers"
extensions="jpg png gif jpeg JPG GIF PNG"
temp_bg_list=/tmp/bg_change_list

rm -f $temp_bg_list

for extension in $extensions
do
find $bg_path -iregex ".*.$extension" "$temp_bg_list"
done

cnt=`wc -l "$temp_bg_list" | cut -f1 -d" "`
all_bgs=`echo \`expr $RANDOM % $cnt\``

selected_bg=`head -n$all_bgs "$temp_bg_list" | tail -n1`
echo "Changed desktop to: $selected_bg"

# use the follwing command if u want the script for gnome.
#gconftool-2 -t string -s /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename "$selected_bg"

echo -e "# xfce backdrop list\n$selected_bg">$HOME/.config/xfce4/desktop/backdrops.list
killall -USR1 xfdesktop

exit 0
=====================================

so just copy this into a bash executable file (say .ranbg.sh). make the file executable (chmod a+x .ranbg.sh) and run it whenever u need to get a new wallpaper. u can put it in ur sttartup applications to get a new wallpaper on every logon.

howzzat!!
