A global hgignore file is useful if you don't want to specify an ignore file for each new repository. To create one, you need to first create a .hgrc file, if it doesn't already exist. The .hgrc file is one of the main configuration files that is read by mercurial. By default, this file can exist in several locations, including the .hg directory of a repository. It is recommended to place .hgrc

Ever since I began using Linux as my primary OS, I have had nothing but great time. Being a .NET person in the first place, the Mono-Project is a god send for me. I tried using MonoDevelop, the IDE for Mono, on a daily basis, but learning that WCF is still largely unsupported made me drop the idea. Lately I found myself wanting to continue my .NET practice while I am on my laptop. So I decided

Today I will talk about setting up my development environment on my laptop. I have narrowed down the choice of tools to the following: Editors     geany     vim Project management and configuration     mercurial     trello (web) Software Design     blockdiag     seqdiag     dia vim vim is like that awesome book or movie that you put off consuming until later.

Today I will write a little about what and how I customized my vanilla CrunchBang installation. After the initial CrunchBang install on Jan 1, I did pretty much nothing except checking my e-mail and browsing every time I booted the laptop. New Statler images were released X on Feb 8th 2012. Since time did not permit me due to the reasons mentioned in one of the previous posts, I decided to

Today I will talk a bit about the project I mentioned in my last post. In my second job, I had the privilege of being on a project that implemented a then latest technology offering from Microsoft called Indigo a.k.a. Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). Indigo, in simplest terms, is a new API introduced in .NET framework v3.0 for building service oriented applications. Even though I was on

It has been more than two months since I wrote anything. When I started this blog, I planned to write at least once a week. The first month went well as I was able to write as per schedule. Still it was not the turnout I had expected initially. I had planned to do several activities including blogging. So I did a quick check just before February and updated the plan. After that plan revisit, the

I did not like the default login screen that came with my CrunchBang install. I wanted to change it to something better.I found that this is possible by editing slim.conf file available in /etc. In slim.conf, there is a section that mentions the theme. # current theme, use comma separated list to specify a set to # randomly choose from current_theme       crunchbang Set the current_theme to

First of all, allow me to wish you all a very happy new year, 2012 It has been just a little above 10 years since I became a complete netizen and I still do not have a blog for my self.

Over the years, I have started my own weblog at least two
