I have been testing this reverse feature and getting used to it now. You should try if you’re comfortable with it.

Google Talk Guru is an experimental service that allows people to get information like sports results, weather forecasts, definitions etc via chat. It works on many popular chat applications that support Google Talk. To use Google Talk Guru, sign in with your Google account in Gtalk and add guru@googlelabs.com. Now you can ask some information like sports results, translation, etc. Examples keywords are available in Google Talk Guru page.

To change this feature, scroll down to bottom of Facebook until you see “Edit Options” link. Click on it and you will see “Edit Your News Feed Settings” dialog box. Select “Show posts from” menu and change it as your personal choice.

For the first time, Facebook will ask you to wait for sometime and you will get email shortly which includes download link. Unzip the file, and browse index.html file with your browser. Now you can see your facebook profile locally with minimalist interface NOT Facebook interface.

To remove those menus, you directly go to System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager and then find “linux-image” and leave the latest version number and mark as all other the menu starts with “linux-image” for uninstall … (see the screenshot below: in my case, linux-image-2.6.32-25-neneric is old linux kernel image version). Hope this help!

cd /home/username/.fonts

P.S: replace username with your username. Type ls so that you can see the font files that you installed in your Ubuntu. Type rm to remove.

gtf and cvt

Before you add new mode using xrandr, you need to type following one of command lines in Ubuntu terminal. I prefer using gtf.

gtf 1680 1050 60

cvt 1680 1050 60

1680 is X and 1050 is Y and 60 is refresh rate. For refresh rate, please check your monitor manual.

The command will produce the following output. Copy the text after word, Modeline.

Modeline "1680x1050_60.00"  146.25  1680 1784 1960 2240  1050 1053 1059 1089 -hsync +vsync

xrandr

Before you type the following command lines, please be sure to check the video mode your external monitor is using. To check your video mode, you can type the following command line

xrandr -q

It will list the displays you are using now. The result is something like this

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1680 x 1050, maximum 8192 x 8192
VGA1 connected 1680x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm
1360x768       59.8
1024x768       60.0
800x600        60.3     56.2
848x480        60.0
640x480        59.9     59.9
1680x1050_60.00   59.9*
LVDS1 connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
1280x800       59.9 +
1024x768       60.0
800x600        60.3
640x480        59.9
TV1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

You will see VGA1, LVDS1 and TV1 … these are the mode your system is using. For my case, VGA1 is the video mode for my monitor. It may be different from video driver. Now it is time for add new resolution mode using xrandr. Type the following command lines

xrandr --newmode "1680x1050_60.00"  146.25  1680 1784 1960 2240  1050 1053 1059 1089 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode VGA1 "1680x1050_60.00"
xrandr --output VGA1 --mode "1680x1050_60.00"

Tip: There are two minus “-” in newmode, addmode, output and mode . WordPress doesn’t display it correctly.

First line add a new mode. Following parameters will be different from the result produced by gtf and cvt. Second line add the Video Mode and Resolution along with refresh rate. After you type third command line, you will see the your resolution is already changed.

Permanent resolution

Well the command lines you are trying is not a permanent resolution in ubuntu. It only change the time you type those command lines. To make it permanent, ubuntu documentation suggests that you can change in ~/.xprofile, kdm/gdm and xorg.conf.

~/.xprofile

1. create a file, if it doesn’t exist yet.

nano ~/.xprofile

and Copy and paste the three command lines from above and put in xprofile file. and save it and make it executable. well, xprofile is only for the current user and other user can’t user the custom resolution.

kdm/gdm

I am using gdm in ubuntu. So I will cover the gdm only. Go to /etc/gdm/Init and login as super user root. Before you’re making changes to Default file, make sure you have a backup. Type the following.

cd /etc/gdm/Init
cp Default Default.backup

Then edit the Default file, type nano Default. (I personally prefer using nano editor)

nano Default

Find the following line.

initctl -q emit login-session-start DISPLAY_MANAGER=gdm

and put three command lines in my tutorial right before it.

xrandr --newmode "1680x1050_60.00"  146.25  1680 1784 1960 2240  1050 1053 1059 1089 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode VGA1 "1680x1050_60.00"
xrandr --output VGA1 --mode "1680x1050_60.00"

initctl -q emit login-session-start DISPLAY_MANAGER=gdm

For xorg.conf and complex configuration. You can read Xorg configuration in Ubuntu. I hope this tutorial will help. If you have any problems, please drop comment.

Nowadays, many bloggers are trying to optimize their blogs in search engine as well as blogging. I myself also tried some of the techniques that I learned from internet to optimize my site too. Today, I just came across an interesting article about the basic of Search Engine Optimization explained that

Bold text <b>/<strong> is given more weight than ordinary text but not as much as H tags. As much as is reasonable, enclose the search term in bold tags when it appears on the page.

Another article explained that italic (<i>)/emphasic (<em>) tag is also important as well as bold tag.

When mentioning your keywords throughout the page, it’s helpful to put them into italics, bold, or emphasis (<em>) to make sure the search engines know that these words are important.

CSS <span> tags to format text, but search engines don’t have an easy way of determining either of these. Why make the search engines work harder than they need to? Use these basic HTML tags and help yourself (and the engines) out!

How much they will effect in SEO? It is hard to say that those are not really important but they are needed when optimizing the site.
