2011-03-24 1 min read Bash Wordpress

There is a very nice post here: How to post content to a WordPress blog from the command line

I tried this in Fedora 14 and here is the way to get this working in Fedora

  <td>
    <div class="text codecolorer">
      su -<br /> <br /> cpan<br /> <br /> install WordPress::CLI WordPress::Post
    </div>
  </td>
</tr>

Now, once the above completes make sure that the path /usr/local/bin is in you path.

Performance issues resolved with my blog.

2010-10-01 1 min read Uncategorized

For last 2-3 weeks there were quite a lot of performance issues with my website. I was looking at the same but could not get enough time to have all of them resolved together. Finally I have spent time on my web hosting and wordpress installation to resolve these issues.

I have taken this opportunity to optimize the blog also. Now the page loading time should be much lesser and you should not be seeing any issues with respect to the site performance or un-availability. If you do see some issues, leave me a comment or contact me through contact me page.

IRC on Linux de-mystified for new users only

2010-06-15 2 min read Linux

The other day, I was trying to fix something in my firefox and found that the way to go was to login to IRC and go to the mozilla <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/server" title="Server (computing)" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_%28computing%29">server and join #firefox.

Though IRC is quite native to <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/linux" title="Linux" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux">Linux, I did not know where to start. So, I noted down the list of steps that need to be done to get you started. (Note this may not be new to most of you).

This is a complicated story but one that must be told. I’m not sure there is anything that can be done about it except rage at the moon…

But it needs to be told none the less.

Did I mention it gets complicated? It does, but it does so for a reason. Let’s introduce the starting lineup.
