Foresight is a desktop operating system featuring an intuitive user interface and a showcase of the latest desktop software, giving users convenient and enjoyable access to their music, photos, videos, documents, and Internet resources.

I liked their logo. Quite simple and intutive.

Logo goes quite well with the Foreground image. Both are same in color and hence it gives you a feeling of theme and not just ramdomly selected foreground.

Lets cut the long discussion <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/short_subject" title="Short film" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_film">short and directly give you the script. The script is combination of all the posts that I did in the past about youtube <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/uploading_and_downloading" title="Uploading and downloading" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uploading_and_downloading">downloads. You need to copy all the <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/uniform_resource_locator" title="Uniform Resource Locator" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Resource_Locator">URL’s in a file called ”~/youtube.urls” which you want to be downloaded. Or if you need to donwload the related videos, then save the html of the page and give it as the first argument for the script. So, here’s the scrit:

There is a very nice little utility or rather SMTP client program called sendmail (<a href="http://caspian.dotconf.net/menu/Software/SendEmail/">Link — http://caspian.dotconf.net/menu/Software/SendEmail/).

This can be used in Windows or Linux or any other OS with perl installed and few other perl modules installed. Its quite easy to use and comes in quite handy to send emails.

In later posts we will see how we can use this in various ways : sending mail from your browser, from your editor or even from the command line or shell script.

2010-05-16 2 min read Fedora Learning Linux Uncategorized

How many time did you want to see all the videos (related) to the one you were watching on youtube but decided otherwise as the downloaded was not fast enough. Or has it happened to you that you wanted to <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/uploading_and_downloading" title="Uploading and downloading" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uploading_and_downloading">download all the related videos, in either case you can use the youtube-dl utility I blogged about some times back. First you need to get all the <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/uniform_resource_locator" title="Uniform Resource Locator" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Resource_Locator">URL’s in a <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/text_file" title="Text file" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_file">text file, and the simplest way to do this is :
