  1. FYI: You can remove the last panel by going to gconf-editor, then navigating to /desktop/gnome/session/required_components and modifying the key "panel" to "avant-window-navigator" instead of "gnome-panel".

  2. Yup, I know that.
    The problem with me is that I tries unity-2D and gnome3 often.
    Which made panel an essential thing.
    guess what, you don't have panel in those sessions and you're gone.

    So I hides the panel now, and set the settings back to gnome-panel from awn

Correct way to structure your Django 1.4 projects

PS: This post is written assuming you're familiar with Django and at-least have some basic experience trying to set-up a Django project (for learning or for some cool project). Purpose: To show how to properly set-up your Django1.4 project after seeing other developers getting it wrong (seen it wrongly structured by my mentee, senior developers and junior developers at my firm.). Django 1.3 Project structure: Initial structure followed by two apps added to the project. Refer above picture, where I shown a Django < 1.4 project structure. (I know, at least Django 1.2 & 1.3 follows this structure). First tree view is of the initial structure that you will get by calling $ django-admin startproject Proj Take a note that manage.py, settings.py, urls.py are in the main folder. Following  tree display is after creating two apps named app1 & app2. You'll do it as follows $ ./manage.py startapp app1 $ ./manage.py startapp app2 Those apps are c

AJAX File Upload with Web2py

It was not that long, since I experienced a problem while trying to upload a file using an ajax  trapped form. I thought, it must be me doing something wrong. I was using web2py  to embed another page into a page via ajax. That is better known to web2py folk as LOADing a component. It's just happened that one of such component contains a file upload form. It was my first time using LOAD function provided by web2py. Basically it make use of jQuery to load the page via ajax into a target div and traps input of any form in that page, so that page doesn't reload. Oh, I forgot to say that web2py is bundled with jQuery. It's always boring and tedious to understand a problem without experiencing it. So, Let's play with an example, (PS: I"m using web2py a full stack python framework, but you can use any language at server side and this problem will be there because, it's a problem with ajax) My model which defines table like this, In RDBMS world, it column 

Set difference: Data provided from two big files with one number at a line

Today, I had to find out difference between two huge lists of numbers. Numbers are 17 digits long and list are of around 1 lac. PS: I'm documenting both versions here for my future reference. I used python, because diff doesn't felt good for me. because it will print both ins and outs of both files. Also, I ruled out diff's possibility, because I didn't felt it will work at that time. Later, at home: I give diff a try. Yes, it's not that beautiful as in python. I'd cut and sed a bit. But still, it's a "one liner" and I like 'em a lot.
