Today I went out with a friend for a coffee who told me about the importance of the so called Update Services or in jargon language XML-RPC Ping Services. To have a major further idea of what that is I used the following reading source .
I’ve used the following source for a script that executes the XML-RPC pinging. I’ve also used the WordPress Update Service page to obtain some XML-RPC pinging destinations. So at the end I’ve built a small modified version of the script shown on the upper link which is responsible for notifying some major XML-RPC blog and RSS directories. For some convenience you can download the script here . In case if you decide to use the pinging XML-RPC ontification script just I like I did make sure to store the script somewhere on your machine running nanoblogger and add executing the script in your
“nb†just before the last line containing “exit†command. That’s it now hopefully you should have the XML RPC Blog RSS notification up and running. Enjoy END—–

Monday, August 31st, 2009Add Google Search Bar to Epiphany
Sunday, August 30th, 2009Epiphany is the browser of choice I have. In that manner of thouhgs today I realized it’s really irritating that by default epiphany lacks. The Google Search Bar just like Firefox for example includes by default. I’ve googled to find a quick solution and stucked on the following explanation of how to do the trick.Hereby I quote it literally.
If you go into bookmarks, you will see a link that says “Search the Webâ€. Go into edit bookmarks. Right click on the “Search the Web†link, and choose the “show on toolbar†option. Exit out of bookmarks. Presto! You should now have a google search bar in the toolbar, just like in firefox.
The whole concept of adding bookmarks to Epiphany is called Smart Bookmarks . Smart Bookmarks allows you to do numerous valueable things like for example adding Google Image Search Toolbar as well as Yahoo Search Toolbar in Epiphany or any other nice handy toolbar shortcut.
Hope that this would help to somebody out there.END—–
The Sign of the Cross
Friday, August 28th, 2009I’ve been on a holiday with my family for 10 days to a Place Called “Narechenski Bani”. I’ll further write more about it however I decided to post this because I just came upon an interesting picture taken on the road for a place near called Krystova Gora / Christ Forest. I’ve carefully looked over the picture to assure myself that the cross is not fake or a reflection from the front glass of the bus, however it’s obvious that the cross is probably real The Sign of the Cross . Moreover I have to add I remembered that the Holy Fathers and the Church teach that the Sign of the Cross would appear in Heaven before the second coming of Christ our Saviour and Lord. I have to praise God and thank him for all his mercies towards me. Bless you Lord!END—–

Run Apache with SSL Self Signed SSL Certificate
Friday, August 14th, 2009Recently I had to run apache on Debian 4.0 (Edge) with Self Signed certificate.To make it happen I had to Google around and try out stuff. I've red that Debiancomes with a command (apache2-ssl-certificate) that generates a self signed openssl certificate.However on my Debian systems this cmd wasn't available. So I had to google around about it,and I came along the following website which provided mewith the script itself and some instructions how to use it. I've modified a bit the archive mentionedon the above website to make the install instructions of the website through a script. I've built a newarchive based on the archive apache2-ssl.tar.gz that includes an extra file runme.sh which does the properinstallation for you. The new archive itself could be found here .
In the mean time I recommend you read my article explaining how to quickly and efficiently generate self-signed certificate with openssl command on GNU / Linux and BSD
