With the help of a good screen capture tool you can generate screenshots relevant to your article and then put them in the post and publish it. And if you are a tech blogger like me then it becomes an almost indispensable tool.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Apart from being in-built into most of the operating systems available, there are various screen capture tools available, ranging from desktop softwares to web apps, from free ones to their more sophisticated paid counterparts. And if you are one of those who love to work entirely from the browser then there are some cool firefox add ons which let you capture screens in the snap of a finger (the click of a mouse button actually &lt;img src="http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" /&gt;  )&lt;span id="more-4387"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h2 style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;1. Screengrab&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/screengrab1.jpg" alt="screengrab logo" title="screengrab1" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4388" align="right" /&gt;&lt;a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1146"&gt;Screengrab&lt;/a&gt; is a nice firefox extension to capture screens. You can save an entire webpage, a particular selection or a frame in the JPEG or PNG format. You could drag and select a particular portion of the page or save the entire scrolling window. You can even save &lt;strong&gt;flash&lt;/strong&gt; screens with this extension. When you install this extension, you get a small screengrab icon on the right side of your firefox status bar. When you click on it, it gives you the various options to save or copy the screen. Yes, you can even copy the screen to clipboard. Quick and simple.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/screengrab2.jpg" alt="screengrab" title="screengrab" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h2 style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;2. FireShot &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/fireshot1.jpg" alt="fireshot logo" title="fireshot logo" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4390" align="right" /&gt;&lt;a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5648"&gt;FireShot&lt;/a&gt; goes one step ahead of Screengrab and apart from allowing you to capture screens partially or completely, it also allows you to modify the captured images. It lets you edit and annotate the screenshot and add graphics and text messages. Screenshots can be saved in 4 formats – PNG, JPEG, GIF and BMP. Like Screengrab, FireShot also allows you to save or copy the screenshot to the clipboard. You could also directly email the captured screen. When you install FireShot, a small icon is added to the toolbar and options to capture the entire page or just the visible portion are added to the context menu.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/fireshot2.jpg" alt="fireshot" title="fireshot" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h2 style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;3. Kwout &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/kwout1.jpg" alt="kwout logo" title="kwout logo" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4394" align="right" /&gt;The &lt;a href="http://kwout.com/help/addon"&gt;Kwout Firefox add on&lt;/a&gt; is another cool app to easily capture and save webpages or online images. It also gives you the code for the screenshot which can be immediately embedded in your website. In fact Kwout has many more options and Kyle did a good job describing it elaborately &lt;a href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/take-screenshots-from-your-browser-with-kwout/"&gt;in this post&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/kwout2.jpg" alt="kwout screenshot" title="kwout screenshot" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h2 style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;4. Page Saver &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://pearlcrescent.com/products/pagesaver/"&gt;Page Saver &lt;/a&gt;is a simple browser extension for capturing screenshots and has limited features in it’s free version. It lets you capture the entire page or just the visible portion of it and save it in JPEG or PNG format. You can also configure keyboard shortcuts for doing the same by going to &lt;strong&gt;Add on options&lt;/strong&gt; after installing it in Firefox.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/page-saver-1.jpg" alt="page saver" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;All the above mentioned add ons are compatible with the latest version of Firefox. So if you were to use a firefox add on to capture screen, which of these add ons will you use ? Do you know of any other Firefox add on which does this task efficiently ? Let us know in comments.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Regards,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Narasimha Raju.

Its also about keeping some essential information secret from the outer world. If you are wondering why would you ever want to hide the PHP version number or lets say the server you are running your application on from the guys outside, read on further.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;As a web application performance and optimization consultant, i have seen that most of the webservers and application softwares like the CMS software are usually not updated to the latest version. The older versions running on these systems can cause potential risk to the whole system. Hackers and script kiddies are often looking for this information in order to either exploit or fully compromise the system. Therefore, its always in your best interest to protect the version information of your software from getting revealed outside ( just in case there is a existing flaw and script kiddies who recently learnt a new trick are looking for fresh meat)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;Though PHP is generally regarded as a reliable and secure platform, older versions of PHP are known to have contain security holes. So if you are running an older version of PHP, this article will help you get some degree of safety from reconnaissance attacks.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);"&gt;By default, webserver outputs the version of the PHP platform in a special HTTP Response Header called X-Powered-By. (e.g. X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.9).This value is outputted in the response header because of a setting called expose_php in php.ini configuration file.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;div id="attachment_7166" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 460px;"&gt;&lt;img class="size-medium wp-image-7166 " style="border: 1px solid black;" title="hide-php-version-information-in-response-header" src="http://technofriends.in/vaibhav/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/hide-php-version-information-in-response-header-450x150.jpg" alt="Image:Sample HTTP Response header containing X-Powered-By header with PHP Version Information." height="150" width="450" /&gt;&lt;p class="wp-caption-text"&gt;Image:Sample HTTP Response header containing X-Powered-By header with PHP Version Information.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;In order to set the value of expose_php to off, navigate to your php.ini file and set the value to “off” for expose_php&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;expose_php=off&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Setting expose_php to off doesn’t ensure you a completely secure system but it does give you some level of protection from script kiddies and bots looking out for information of their choice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Narasimha Raju.

So you can hear your files with your audio media player, you don’t need to sit at the desk, with your eyes fixed on the computer’s screen any longer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;Panopreter is also a good aid to any language learning program. You install the Text-To-Speech voices for the specific language, then you can hear the files being read for you.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Because Panopreter reads with Microsoft voice installed on your computer by default, when you like to listen to other voices, you need to install the corresponding Text-To-Speech voice engine on the computer.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Windows XP users are recommended to install a third party voice to get a better reading, for the default voice engine on the Windows XP isn’t as clear as that on the Windows Vista.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Panopreter supports 2 types of reading, the first type is “Read file” which is the default, the other is “Instant Speak”, which speaks the text you have typed or pasted into the edit window.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div id="attachment_7383" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 460px;"&gt;&lt;img class="size-medium wp-image-7383" title="convert-text-to-audio-using-panopreter-for-free" src="http://technofriends.in/vaibhav/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/convert-text-to-audio-using-panopreter-for-free-450x340.jpg" alt="Image: Convert Text to Audio using Panopreter for Free" height="340" width="450" /&gt;&lt;p class="wp-caption-text"&gt;Image: Convert Text to Audio using Panopreter for Free&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;Once you have downloaded and installed Pranopreter, select the text file you wish to be spoken and press Speak.

Web-based means that net2ftp runs on a web server, and that you use a browser (for example Internet Explorer or Mozilla) to access it.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;FTP in general, is the communication method to access files on a remote computer. You need it to access your files on the account given by your provider to host your homepage. FTP is different from HTTP in that it was made specially to transfer (big) files. If a transfer is interrupted, with FTP you can resume it where it broke off, whereas with HTTP it doesnt come by default ( you need to support range requests and the client should also have the same capability).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;With net2ftp, once you are logged into the FTP server, you can navigate the directory structure and files just like any other FTP client.You can as usual download and upload files, copy, move and delete folders. You also have the ability to zip and unzip files.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img class="size-medium wp-image-11288 aligncenter" title="net2ftp-web-based-ftp" src="http://technofriends.in/vaibhav/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/net2ftp-web-based-ftp-450x225.jpg" alt="net2ftp-web-based-ftp" height="225" width="450" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Visit http://www.net2ftp.com/ for more details.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Narasimha Raju.

If you want to use a package from another distribution than the one you have installed on your system, you can use alien to convert it to your preferred package format and install it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Despite the large version number, alien is still (and will probably always be) rather experimental software. It has been used by many people for many years, but there are still many bugs and limitations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     Alien should not be used to replace important system packages, like sysvinit, shared libraries, or other things that are essential for the functioning of your system. Many of these packages are set up differently by Debian and Red Hat, and packages from the different distributions cannot be used interchangably. In general, if you can’t uninstall the package without breaking your system, don’t try to replace it with an alien version.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Instructions for Installing RPM Files Using Alien&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Installing Alien&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    You can install alien itself from the Ubuntu Universe repository by adding the repository to your list of sources and doing:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;         &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;$sudo apt-get update&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;          $sudo apt-get install alien&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;Installing the .rpm file&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     To install the .rpm file, you first need to convert it to a .deb file which can be installed on Ubuntu.I assume that you downloaded the package to your Desktop (~/Desktop is the directory)&lt;br /&gt;    You can convert the .rpm to a .deb by using the following commands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;       &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;$cd ~/Desktop&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This will change the directory to your desktop, where you have the .rpm file.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;  $sudo alien -k name-of-rpm-file.rpm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This will convert the .rpm to a .deb.&lt;br /&gt;The “-k” will keep the version number. Otherwise alien adds a “1″ to the version number.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt; $sudo dpkg -i name-of-deb-file.deb&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This will install the .deb package.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Try reading the alien manpage for more details on how to convert other kinds of packages and the options available.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All The Best&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Narasimha Raju.&lt;br /&gt;INDIA&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5172425325820790650-7165517557261569646?l=dummystories.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dummystories.blogspot.com/feeds/7165517557261569646/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5172425325820790650&amp;postID=7165517557261569646' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5172425325820790650/posts/default/7165517557261569646'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5172425325820790650/posts/default/7165517557261569646'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dummystories.blogspot.com/2008/09/installing-rpmred-hat-package-manager.html' title='Installing RPM(Red Hat Package Manager) for Ubuntu'/><author><name>Narasimha Raju Naidu</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02470749043071388308</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5172425325820790650.post-2872863330406391312</id><published>2008-09-22T01:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-24T00:28:21.737-07:00</updated><title type='text'>How to install Java and Tomcat6 for Ubuntu</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;hi,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;     I have tried the following steps, and it works smoothly on Ubuntu 8.04, hope this little contribution can help you installing Java and setting your tomcat server.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Step 1. Download the latest Tomcat to your desktop: http://tomcat.apache.org/download-60.cgi , then run&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;       sudo tar zxvf apache-tomcat-6.0.10.tar.gz (or name of the latest downloaded tomcat .gz file).&lt;br /&gt;       sudo cp -R apache-tomcat-6.0.10  /usr/share/tomcat6   (or name of the unziped tomcat file).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Step 2.
