Year 2038 problem !!!

What is year 2038 problem ? Did I mess up with Y2K !! No actually here is the description of next problem with the Years .... Most programs written in the C programming language are relatively immune to the Y2K problem, but suffer instead from the Year 2038 problem. This problem arises because most C programs use a library of routines called the standard time library . This library establishes a standard 4-byte format for the storage of time values, and also provides a number of functions for converting, displaying and calculating time values. The standard 4-byte format assumes that the beginning of time is January 1, 1970, at 12:00:00 a.m. This value is 0. Any time/date value is expressed as the number of seconds following that zero value. So the value 919642718 is 919,642,718 seconds past 12:00:00 a.m. on January 1, 1970, which is Sunday, February 21, 1999, at 16:18:38 Pacific time (U.S.). This is a convenient format because if you subtract any two values, what you get is a number of...

Customized Send To >>

I have found a little command that can add and remove the items on your " send to ". Normally when we right click and go to "send to" item we could see only some limited locations. But what's if we want to change it ?? It is very easy you just have to type the command "sendto" on Run which is located at start menu.Then it will prompt a folder which contains some items as on the image. (Example is given by using my machine) Then you just have to remove the items which you do not want to see on "send To" and paste the shortcuts of the locations that you wish to be added on "send To". After this right click on any folder and you will see new locations on the menu.

Some more on blogging

I have found some more customizing methods on blogs based on blogger. Here are some of them and I think it's better if you have a backup of the template before try on these. Add new column - This is a simple task and what you need is only a little knowledge in CSS and HTML.Here are the steps to add new column on your blog and I have done it based on template "Minima". Don't worry you just have to do a slight change to apply these on other templates. You have to write a new CSS class for the new column that's going to insert. For eg: #left-sidebar-wrapper { float: left ;width: 220px; } Other than this example you can write more for the CSS class. Before the <div id="main-wrapper"> tag you have to define the div tag of new column. So paste the code given below immediately before the main-wrapper div tag. <div id='left-sidebar-wrapper'> <b:section class='sidebar' id='left-sidebar' preferred='yes'/> </d...

A dream came true

One my dream was to have a web site of my own.I know that was a little dream. So I started blogging on blogger.com and it was really a good experience I've ever get. I was on the way with postings and I felt hard when I am telling others my blog as " gayanonline.blogspot.com " because it was really long.The main thing in here is they can not remember my blog address. After about 4 months (I have started blogging on March 2007) I was lucky to get one of my own URL for the blog. The content was not moved and still I am blogging on " blogspot.com ".The service in here just redirect you to my blog when you request by the URL " www.gayanb.co.nr ". Now I am happy with the new URL and I can still use the old URL as well. So I hope if you are a blogger you'll feel the same way I felt.Here are the steps to get an URL like this.And also if you have found a better place for this please share it with others also as a comment. You just have to go to www.freedom...

Boost Your Blog Traffic

Many first time bloggers automatically assume that once their blog is setup and they put a few posts on it, they will get some hits and regular readers. This is quite untrue. You won’t get any traffic if no one knows about your website. In this article I hope to tackle these problems and discuss some of the common ways bloggers and webmasters drive more traffic to their site by understanding the user. I have found a place which says how to increase your blog traffic and I have done some changes according to my feelings. Blog Usability Before I get into getting your name out there, your blog has to have some style. Most web users are instantly turned off by tacky site designs or extreme neon colors. I know I won’t stay at a website too long if the layout or navigation annoys me. The goal is to have a unique blog, different than all the other weblogs on the net. The one thing I really stress to others is making it easy for your readers to contact you. It shouldn’t take a reader more than...

Core 2 Duo vs. Dual Core

'Dual-core' is just a generic term for any cpu that has 2 processors on the 1 chip. 'Quad core' would be the generic term for a cpu with 4 processors on the 1 chip. Dual core is simply a generic term referring to any processor package with two physical CPUs in one. The Pentium D, Core Duo, Core 2 Duo and Athlon X2 are all current CPUs that have dual cores in one package. The Pentium D is simply two Pentium 4 Prescott cpus inefficiently paired together and ran as dual core. The Core Duo is Intel's first generation dual coreprocessor based upon the Pentium M (a Pentium III-4 hybrid) made mostly for laptops (though a few motherboard manufacturers have releaseddesktop boards supporting the Core Duo CPU), and is much more efficiently than Pentium D. The Core 2 Duo is Intel's second generation (hence, Core 2) processor made for desktops and laptops designed from the ground up to be fast while not consuming nearly as much power as previous CPUs. Note - Intel has d...
