wordpress blog stats monitoring from remote using curl and bash and send it in mail.

2010-06-25 3 min read Bash Fedora Linux

Here’s something that I had been planning to do for sometime now. I have my blog on wordpress and have Statpress plugin installed. The plugin does give me a good idea of the visits to my site. Now, I have to keep logging in every now and then to check the stats. Also since I did not want to spend some more amount 🙂 so I do not have the shell access to the server, too bad 🙁

6700 free and redistributable fonts for Linux.

2010-06-25 1 min read Fedora Linux

Today I was searching for some good fonts for my desktop running Fedora 11 – Leonidas. In my quest to find the required fonts that I would liked, I reached some good sites so just thought would share the same with you.

First, how do you use them, simple steps:

mkdir ~/.fonts

Now you can put your fonts in this directory. You can make sub-directories to keep your fonts organized. On F11, I did not need to refresh the font server or logout and login. 🙂

Mod your gnome desktop, change the colors the easy way.

2010-06-25 1 min read Fedora GNOME

Install the autoten application. You can find the instructions in my earlier post today <a href="http://blog.amit-agarwal.co.in/2009/04/20/autoten-install-nvidia-gnome-color-chooser-and-many-others-in-one-click-on-fedora/">here.

Gnome color chooser is an application to allow you to change the color of your gnome DE in all aspects. Very easy to use GUI. Just install it and run it as gnome-color-chooser. Here&#8217;s a screenshot of the application.

The beauty of this application is that it allows to use XML files as input so there are lot of possibilities. And one of the most lucarat5ive ones is to download a pack of color schemes from <a href="http://gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-files/84941-daX_UltraPack220_3v2_gnomecc.tar.bz2">here.  This has 220 theme colors to select from in the form of XML files which can be used directly with Gnome Color Chooser. So enjoy.

<a href="http://partmaps.org/era/unix/award.html#cat">Here you will find some useless use of cat command in linux. Really interesting and quite informative.

Useless Use of Cat Award

If you&#8217;ve been reading <a href="news:comp.unix.shell">comp.unix.shell or any of the related groups <a href="news:comp.unix.questions">(comp.unix.questions inter alia) for any amount of time, this should be a familiar topic.

I made this web page on the topic primarily so I&#8217;d have a simpler URL than one of those ghastly Deja News searches to hand to people. I&#8217;ve tried to reconstruct Randal&#8217;s standard form letter from looking at his postings <a href="http://partmaps.org/era/unix/award.html#forms">(see end) and added some comments of my own.
