				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is very frustrating to install, uninstall and reinstall Ephesoft all in the name of trying to fix OpenLDAP issues. The problem here is that sometimes the OpenLDAP service does not get removed on uninstallation. It is the one from the previous installation that lingers in the services list. </p>
<p>A very neat quick fix to the removal of the OpenLDAP service problem is the <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx" title="Autoruns" target="_blank">Autoruns </a>program. Upon installation, click on the services tab and remove the associated service and it will be done.</p>
<p>You may also try <a href="http://tools.sysprogs.org/srvman/" title="this" target="_blank">this</a></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I woke up about 6am today trying to tie Mysql and Java together without much success. At about 12:30 I finally got it to work and this is how I fixed it.</p>
<p>1. Download the mysql/Java connector from Mysql&#8217;s site. If you are using debian do like this.</p>
<pre class="brush: bash; title: ; notranslate">
          apt-get install libmysql-java
        </pre>
<p>2. After you write you program compile (HelloConnect.java) it like any regular java file because the classes will be automatically pulled in for you.</p>
<p>3. Critically on the commandline do like this;</p>
<pre class="brush: bash; title: ; notranslate">
java -classpath .:/usr/share/java/mysql-connector-java-5.1.10.jar HelloConnect
</pre>
<p>Haha, now you are laughing !</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>    Following assembly books which are written for x86-32 bit machines on a 64 bit machine can be a pain in the ass. Thankfully I found this site <a href="http://www.x86-64.org/documentation/assembly.html"> http://www.x86-64.org/documentation/assembly.html</a><br />
 that really clarified things for me. Thus this is a short example of an assembly program written for an x86-64 bit machines demonstrating how a function can be called. The sample function takes a number a returns the square of that number.</p>
<pre class="brush: plain; title: ; notranslate">
# A program to call a function a compute 
# the square of a number.

.section .data

.section .text

.globl _start

_start:

	push $5			#push first argument	

	call square		# call the square function
	movq $1, %rax    #Call to exit

	int $0x80

# Square Function.
# takes a number and squares it.
# returns the squared number.

.type square, @function
square:
	push %rbp			# save old base pointer
	movq %rsp, %rbp     		# make stack pointer the base pointer
	movq 16(%rbp), %rcx   		# Copy the first argument from the
					# stack which is on position two. 
					# Thus its 2 quad-words which requires 16
	imul %rcx, %rcx   		# Square and store the number
	
	mov %rcx, %rbx			# store the return value
						
	movq %rbp, %rsp			# restore the stack pointer
	pop %rbp
	ret

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is how to enable the execution of cgi scripts on linux. Add the following code the <code> /etc/apache2/httpd.conf <code> file. </p>
<pre class="brush: plain; title: ; notranslate">
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/cgi-bin/
&lt;Directory &quot;/var/www/cgi-bin/&quot;&gt;
    Options ExecCGI
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow, deny
    Allow from all
&lt;/Directory&gt;
</pre>
<p>Remember to make the files that are put there executable by the doing the following.</p>
<pre class="brush: bash; title: ; notranslate">
% chmod +x file.cgi
</pre>
<p>Lastly you should have had the cgi module loaded in apache.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For sometime now i have been trying to use the xargs command but it sometimes proves somewhat hard for me to understand but now i think i have got the hang of it. Here is a sample code to demonstrate how easy it really is.</p>
<p>% find . -maxdepth 1 -name &#8216;filesys*&#8217; -print0 | xargs -0 -Ifil mv fil &#8220;thefile&#8221;</p>
<p>The various parts of the command are :</p>
<ul>
<li>.   : Represents the current directory.</li>
<li>-maxdepth : Tells the find command to which depth should it recursively look for the search term. In this case its 1.</li>
<li>-name : The name of the search term or item.</li>
<li>-print0 : Note its &#8220;Zero&#8221; not O. This prints out the file matching the name. The 0 handles file names that have whitespaces in them. I think its always good to have them on.</li>
<li>-0 : It also handles white space characters for you.</li>
<li>-I : Temporarily store the currently matched file in the variable &#8220;fil&#8221;.</li>
<li>mv : Rename the file represented by fil to ;</li>
<li>the file. You can do without the double quotes.</li>
</ul>
<p>Hope that helped.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been skimming through a lot of linux books and yet not even one was able to tell me how to set the time. I mean the popular books online. I later found out that the way to set the date is by the following way:</p>
<p>% date -s  &#8220;11:58&#8243;</p>
<p>By the way you have to be root or else use sudo</p>
