Though it’s not a hilarious Japanese video, this one is worth the time it takes to watch it!

  • Twitter Window Command Line Client

    Written by Saman Sadeghi on May 8, 2008 and has been viewed 89 times. 6 Comments »

    By now, just about everyone knows about the Twitter Command Line Client for Linux. Ever since I started using it, I fell in love and I’ve been looking for something similar for Windows. Well, I’ve finally found it: The Twitter CLI is a simple tool that lets you post updates to Twitter from the Windows Command Line or, my favorite, the Run dialog.

    Download

    The small file is located at Phalacee.com.

    Installation

    1. Extract the contents of the Twitter CLI.zip file into your Windows folder, which is located at:
      C:\Windows
    2. Open the Twitter.bat file in Notepad (right-click, then choose Edit) and enter your Twitter user name and password in the appropriate fields:
      set username=YourTwitterUserName
      set password=YourTwitterPassword
    3. Save the file and close Notepad.

    Update Twitter Via Command Line

    Now you are able to Tweet via your Windows Command Line:

    1. Hit the Windows Key+R
    2. Type in the following:
      twitter ""
      Enter your status between the quotes.
    3. Hit OK or the Enter on your keyboard.

    That’s all there is to it! If you want your update to read: I’m eating over my keyboard and making a mess! You would enter:
    twitter "I'm eating over my keyboard and making a mess!"

    Notes

    • The message must be less than 140 characters, which is Twitter’s limit.
    • It’s not necessary to use quotation marks in your update but will be needed if you’re inputting a URL in your message:
      twitter "I just added a great picture to Flickr http://tinyurl.com/6r95ur"

    Integration With Facebook

    You can have this Twitter Window Command Line Client update your Facebook status by using the TwitterSync Facebook application (technically, the CLI client is still updating Twitter. The TwitterSync app just polls your Twitter feed and updates your status). I use it on my Facebook profile.

    I prefer this application over Twitter’s Facebook app because it doesn’t add the prefix of: “is twittering:”, though you can add any prefix, if you wish. Also, because you can update Twitter via SMS, you can update your Facebook status via text message! Or, if you don’t want to, TwitterSync wont update if the tweet has a specific prefix (that you set). So, if you sent something like “from cellphone: I hate traffic!!”, then it wouldn’t update your Facebook status!

  • How to install the ALEKS Java plugin in Firefox & Ubuntu 7.10 (Gusty Gibbons)

    Written by Saman Sadeghi on April 20, 2008 and has been viewed 194 times. 7 Comments »

    University Of PhoenixThis tip is for those of us who attending the University of Phoenix and are running Linux: The ALEKS program in the Center for Mathematics Excellence does not support our OS! :shock: I tried installing the Java plugin while running Internet Explorer 6 through WINE, but it was not successful! Luckily, I was able to install the plugin and can now use ALEKS through Firefox, while in Ubuntu (I’m not sure if these instructions are distro specific, but they do work for Ubuntu 7.10).

    ALEKS does have an article that covers Firefox 1.0 and Linux, though we need to change a few variables, here’s a step-by-step (if you need more detailed help, just post your question below):

    1. Make sure you have “Sun Java 6 Web Start” installed. Use apt-get or Synaptec to check.
    2. Download the ALEKS plugin: aleksPack10.jar (6.4M)
    3. Save the plugin into your Home directory:
      /home/{YOURUSERNAME}
    4. We need to find your Java plugin directory, open Terminal and type:
      locate /lib/ext/
    5. Note the plugin location. For me, the output was:
      /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.03/jre/lib/ext/
    6. In Terminal, type the following (if you’re output from Step 5 was different, supplement it in Step 6):
      cp aleksPack10.jar /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.03/jre/lib/ext/
    7. Restart Firefox

  • Mario Theme Played Using An RC Car And Glass Bottles

    Written by Saman Sadeghi on April 18, 2008 and has been viewed 191 times. 7 Comments »

    Those who know me know that I’m obsessed with the Super Mario Brother’s Theme - I’m always humming it, have it as a ring tone and am learning to play it on my harmonica. When I saw this video, I just about flipped out!

    About

    The kid has filled up a ton of glass bottles with the correct about of liquid to create the appropriate notes when tapped. He’s spaced the bottles apart and drives an RC Car past them, which taps them as it passes. This creates, what has to be, the most original version of the Super Mario Theme that I’ve ever heard!

  • Updates Your RSS Feed Address For Samanathon.com & New Link Love For Commentators

    Written by Saman Sadeghi on April 14, 2008 and has been viewed 194 times. 10 Comments »

    I was on Stephen Fung’s site recently and noticed that he’s running the Commentluv plugin. I though this plugin was a great idea and it would be the perfect addition to the Do Follow movement, so I’ve installed it here on Samanathon.com!

    What this means for you, dear reader, is that I will disable FeedBurner from handling my feed information, so you need to revert your feed reader’s address for this site to: http://samanathon.com/feed. I really don’t look at the metrics from FeedBurner and there’s no reason why they should be getting all my PageRank love! For more information, please read: Don’t Let Your CommentLuv Be Stolen Away!

    What Does The Commentluv Plugin Do?

    Commentluv ads a checkbox to the bottom of your post’s comment form that gives your commentator the option of adding a link to their latest post to the end of their comment. This means that, in addition to a link to their site in their name, they get a deep link to their latest article! The more you comment on blogs that use this plugin, the more deep links you get to different articles!
