Twitter E-Books

Why e-books?

I have been asking this question since the beginning of wiki and search engine. I believe many of you are asking the same question. We can just do googling to search for any information. Chances we will land on a wiki page with our first search result. We all know that almost all information today are free. As free as the Internet. Again, why e-books and pay for the prices like the print books? I would rather buy a print book myself.

I will answer this question from the content point of view. The only reason that an e-book is better than print book is because there is no actual print book that you can find in any book store for the said e-book. Well, majority of e-books on the Internet fall into that category.

An e-book organizes its content just like a book. We read an e-book using a computer or an e-book reading device. We can print an e-book for off line reading but we have to bind it ourselves or get a printing and binding service to make it look like a print book. For us not going for e-book, information or content that we can search on the Internet may be "piece meals". We have to keep on searching for details. And we have to organize our search results which can be time consuming. The problem arise when we don't know what to search for because we do not know the subject matter.

A good e-book is complete with contents. When there is an e-book, we can save our time from searching around for knowledge. And we don't have to go through a hit and miss exercise to look for knowledge. Apparently, there is low barrier of entry for a writer to produce e-book compare to print book. People with good knowledge can easily become an e-book writer. There will definitely be more e-books on the Internet and the number will grow rapidly.

I will go for an e-book for a complete knowledge that the e-book offer and to save my time searching around for the knowledge.

Setting Up PyScripter for Quantum GIS

PyScripter is a general purpose Python Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Quantum GIS (QGIS) is a desktop GIS application that can be extended with Python plugins. Both are open source softwares. We intend to use PyScripter as an IDE to build QGIS Python plugin. We are using PyScripter 2.4.1.0 and QGIS 1.6.0 in Windows. PyScripter does not come with Python. On the other hand, QGIS is built in with Python. Thus, we will setup up PyScripter to use the build in Python in QGIS. We assume both PyScripter and QGIS are already installed. Preparing PyScripter batch file We assume that QGIS is installed in C:\OSGeo4W\ folder and PyScripter is installed in C:\Program Files\PyScripter\ . 1. Copy qgis.bat in C:\OSGeo4W\ bin to pyscripter.bat 2. Edit pyscripter.bat to remove the last line that read something like this start "Quantum GIS" /B "%OSGEO4W_ROOT%"\apps\qgis\bin\qgis.exe %* and replace it with this in one line Start "PyScripter" /B "C:\Progr

Sending Emails via SMTP

msmtp  requires a minimal setup for sending emails via SMTP compared to sendmail. Here is a configuration for you to send emails from a web host to an external SMTP server. Prior to doing that, you must check whether there is a clear communication channel between your web host and the SMTP server. You can use Telnet . Set up msmtp You are going to set msmtp as an MTA .

The default is to use system settings, but # you can select your own file. tls_trust_file /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt # The SMTP server account mx host mail.mx.example

fatal: Couldn't find remote ref master

If you are using Github then  master is now known as main . Whatever you want to do with a master must now be referred to a main . If you search for this error message on the Internet then you will encounter with a lot of old discussions on how to set up your master properly which is probably not what you are looking for. The master  is your problem. Rename it to main . I wrote Git My Way about two years ago. Today I created another Github repository. I got this  "fatal: Couldn't find remote ref master"  error message when I wanted to sync the new repo for the first time with my notebook using the notes I wrote in the blog. All the discussions around the error message I found on the Internet were perplexing. Then I recalled that Github had renamed master to main  due to the master-slave connotation. We always have a master copy of a code, never a slave copy. Now suddenly a word context has been diminished for good. What is going to happen to the existing vast documen
