Here’s how to get your firefox running on a 64 bit Linux machine to work with 32 bit plugins. I’ve tried this with gentoo, it should work with ubuntu or kubuntu or any other distro of your choice.
Download and install nspluginwrapper from http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/projects/nspluginwrapper/.
For ubuntu, there are some instructions on how to do this here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=341727). [...]

#!/bin/bash
find -iname “*.jar” | xargs -i unzip -l {} | less
In case you are new to less, here’s how you navigate:

This post is in addition to my previous Musings on installing lotus notes on Ubuntu.
Here’s another way to make Lotus Notes not work on Ubuntu.
Start up your print server.
Not amused ?
Raghu pointed out to the fact that lotus notes stopped working the day he got his printer installed. It was a surprise to me, but [...]

Sony has recently added PS3 support on kernel 2.6. This comes at a time when Microsoft Says PS3 Linux Not ‘Competitive’ To XNA.
Interesting… reminds me of Steve Ballmer saying:
You know who I think out biggest competitor is? Linux. Linux, Linux, Linux! Burn it on your foreheads, people: Linux!

Participants happened to be lecturers and professors from colleges in the state. My talk revolved around Process Management, related api, and the tools used for this.
I’m all charged up; and raring to go at my next assignment.

Someone asked how he could forward a range of ports.
To do this, you’d need to specify the port range as ‘8000-8080′ instead of just ‘8080′ in the example above.
