If you need to get that song!


Let's say you liked a song in youtube a lot. And you dont have limitless internet access in your smart phone, thus you desperately need to take it with you by your mp3 player.  Mostly you need a youtube downoader program to convert the video to mp3. But recently I discoverd clip.dj which enables you to search music online and download it as video or mp3 without any program needed. The advantages of clip.dj is being app-free and it also search to a song from alternative video serves which helps to get different variatons of the song. Enjoy it!

Who does follow too many Tv series?


tvcountdown.com is a useful website if you are following popular U.S., Japan or British TV series and want to know when the next episodes will be on air. You can also create a customized list by selecting specific series. It has a simple design and easy to use interface. There is no need  to explain more.
Besides, I heard that there are similar websites which can also enable users to download those Tv series by torrent, but since torrents are mostly illegal, it will be a felony if I share those particular websites here :)

Fancy stuff for Ubuntu terminal

Yeah Ok. I got bored and tried to find some fancy things about my terminal screen. I have already changed background picture, fonts and and names... however something was still missing. And now, I had friends in terminal who greets me and tells some quotes for the day. I suppose that s an entertaining way to get start doing some stuff on terminal. First check my new terminal greeting by Bender from Futurama.

And then I can read the quote of the day from my cyber-cow!

Now everything is fantastic... So lets see how can we do this. I ll try to explain it simply:

First we need to install the quote generator engine- fortune:
sudo apt-get install fortunes fortunes-off 

Then lets install the cyber-cow:
sudo apt-get install cowsay

Now we need to edit .bashcr file in order to see this greeting at the start up of terminal.
cp .bashrc .bashrc.bak

gedit .bashrc


after we opened the file,  type  cowsay "$(fortune)"  at the beginning of this document (save&quit). When you restart terminal, here what you are gonna see the cybercow with a quote:


 ______________________
  & %%%%% &;
 ----------------------
        \   ^__^
         \  (oo)\_______
            (__)\       )\/\
                ||----w |
                ||     ||


Now lets make a bender greeting.

For that we need to create and edit another file:
gksudo gedit /usr/share/cowsay/cows/bender.cow

When the file is open, paste the following (save & quit)



$the_cow = <
   $thoughts
    $thoughts
     ( )
      H
      H
     _H_
  .-'-.-'-.
 /         $thoughts
|           |
|   .-------'._
|  / /  '.' '. $thoughts
|  $thoughts $thoughts @   @ / /
|   '---------'
|    _______|
|  .'-+-+-+|
|  '.-+-+-+|
|    """""" |
'-.__   __.-'
     """
EOC


Now again lets open the holy file which enables us to create greeting message:


 gedit .bashrc 


and at the beginning of the file, type: 

cowsay -f bender "greetings master!" 


Now you have Bender too. 


You can customize the phrase in quotation such as " Whats up bro! here is the quote of the day!: $(fortune)"

That s all which I can tell simply !


P.S. I d like to thank Monsterstack from UbuntuForum for these great tips. For detailed  info (such as how to change cow to dragon or Bender to Fry) please visit:

What is wrong with you Ubuntu?



Why Ubuntu is getting worse? When I started Ubuntu with the 8th version, everything was so smooth and fine. There was lots of options that I can change themes, styles and many other features. And now look at the 11th version. It s getting slower, problematic and so on... Moreover, it was like a MacOS that most of the features somehow restricted. I have no option to change the theme. Furthermore, I cannot find properly working commands in forums to make things customized. What now? should I pay for getting new themes? I m hopeful with 12th version of Ubuntu. But if she continues to be that bitchy, I m sorry but I have to break up with her...
