Mystic River – One of National Geographic’s Best Wallpapers In 2009

I wasn’t aware of this until I [rather carefully] going through the Photo of the Month notification email from National Geographic, that my Mystic River was picked as one of the best Wallpapers from 2009 [personally, I don't like the phrase one of the best, for by definition of best, there is only one] – [...]

2009 – The Year That Was

It’s that time of the year again. Although December 31st is just another day and is just as good as any of the other 364/365 days, last day of the year nevertheless serves as a good point in time-line to pause and reflect upon what the year brought along. The list of what the year [...]

BASH – vasp2xyz, A Script To Extract Coordinates From VASP

Users of VASP are often familiar with the struggles/hardships to easily visualize the coordinates from the output file [OUTCAR]. To that effect, I wrote the following script [with help at a crucial stage from Pat Krogel, CEC @ MTU]. It expects OUTCAR & POSCAR from a calculation to be in the same folder and when [...]

PHP – Computing Total Travel Distance From GPS Tracks

Amongst other things, I like to keep a detailed track of where I have been [especially during hiking in the woods, venturing into areas that I have never been before, etc.]. For this purpose, I have configured my Garmin GPSMap 60CSx to record location/date-time data every three seconds and a while ago, I described [...]

CSS – Floating Next/Previous Links On Images

Why is this necessary, you ask? Ever since I first used PixelPost and deliciously delicious theme, I had been wanting to do something similar for my own photo gallery. Since PixelPost [nor any other photoblog software] ever came close to satisfying my needs, I ended up writing [still a work in progress to some extent] [...]

MAC – Upgrading MacPorts

Wondering why is this necessary? Citing MacPorts,
An installation of MacPorts and the ports installed by it are only designed to work on a single OS release and a single CPU architecture. If you upgrade to a new OS version (e.g. from Tiger to Leopard) or migrate to a new machine with a different type of [...]

What's This About?

Pretending to make the internet a better place, I write [not so] frequently about academia, technology, travel, photography, and so on.

Starting out with a hand written diary from mid 80s through late 90s, I have used MS Word, LaTeX, HTML as well as a home made RSS / XML parser in previous efforts to keep track of my ramblings but decided to settle with WordPress since v0.7x.

The instructions [&/or steps, scripts, methods, etc.] contained in these posts worked for me on my website/server; And while not everything is completely original, they are here mostly as a note2self. It may [should] very well work for your website/server as well. Please note that if you decide to use these instructions, you are doing so entirely at your very own discretion and that neither this site, nor its author is responsible for any/all damage - intellectual &/or otherwise.
