    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".

    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

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

My Conky Configuration File

Edit :                         (Aug 17, 2013) All my configurations including conky's are now hosted at  https://github.com/kra3/dot_files I've been hearing about this conky for a long time. I think I tried it once in my 5 years of linux experience. But, I haven't experienced it till last day. Conky is a system monitor originally based on torsmo! What the heck is this "torsomo"? Honestly, I don't know. Le me google that for you.... Torsmo is a system monitor that sits in the corner of your desktop. It's very simple, customizable and it renders only text on the desktop (and percentagebars if you want it to ;) and the only lib it uses is Xlib. Torsmo can show various information about your system and it's peripherals, including: Kernel version Uptime System time Network interface information Memory and swap usage Hostname Machine, i686 for example System name, Linux for example Temperatures from i2c-senso

My First Python Program

I am very glad today. Because I finally wrote a python program all by myself. I am programming for about 3 years. Of which 2 are using C++ (Old standard and using Turbo C++ IDE ver 3.0 and yet to master Templates and STL. [:-p]) and After starting python using Dive into Python an excellent book by Mark Pilgrim during my 1st year summer vacation, and I only completed Data Structure section. Then I found an excellent Java tutorial by Sang Shin and obtained a certificate by completing First and basic course in Java. Now I am working with My Friend to develop applications in java. We established a web site already. He started programming when he is in 10, ie. more than 2 years of experience. He has Visual Basic too in his side. Now he is doing with JSP and I am concentrating on Python, Ruby (yet to start) and CSS. Today My pleasure is that I completed a python program myself. Which is asked to do in ' A byte of Python ' by Swaroop.C.H. Which is a command line program; and he
