May be all of you can advise/suggest the tools for a decent demo in
case. Good case studies  as well.

I am lost touch with the mainstream distros for some time, since I am
more into embedded linux and X less servers.

Hi Ken

Nope, haven't read any of those. For now i am bit too busy. Surely i
might have a look into those if at all i get a chance for a prolonged
retired life in Ooty like yours. ;-)

Don't  get me wrong. I don't subscribe for any of those 'isms' -
capitalism or communism. In this particular context I think we might
try to get the CPI to lobby for our cause. Just because  them are a so
called 'National party' and that they seem to have 'positioned'
themselves to oppose whatever comes from US, be it capitalism or M$,
we might have a chance to raise some noise through them. Like you
said, their actual intentions could be anything but helping our cause.

 Surely we can't go after 'captian Vijaykant' or Vaiko for that matter
who might as well ask what this thingy called 'FOSS' is. These CPI are
our only option for a political attack. And they have made some
substantial dent on behalf of Linux for schools in Kerala.

Nataraj

You might be right about all the local  or Indian, 'stains' of the communists.

 But fundamentally communism is about collective ownership and freeing
resources  from private ownership, say, the idea that  all the Land
should be owned by the state, very much akin to what FOSS is doing in
technology.

 The concept ought to be good. Even though we despise the label called
'communism',  we can take what is good  from it. You know  the biggest
mafia/exploitation is in the real estate business.

Hi Ken

FPC does'nt look like TP at all, its more  in lines of VB and Delphi.
Just that the syntax is Pascalish style.  Everything derived from a
TObject. Of course, you are free  to go without objects, if you
choose, the old procedural way. In that too, I like the nested
procedures and its scopings very much.

Maybe  you tried Ruby? Whip up demos very fast.

Hi Aanjhan,

Comparing these two recursive factorials in Lisp and C

(define factorial

(if (< n 1)
1
( * n (fact (- n 1))


int factorial(int i)
{
if (i>1)
return (i * factorial(i-1));

Pardon me for a flawed logic.

 Lisp code does look cool to me.  Much more intutive than C. So says

Hi Arun

Why not try out Buildroot (http://buildroot.uclibc.org/) for RFS and
kernel? Pretty neat stuff. You can use trimmed down uclibc instead of
Libc.

I am using BR on an AT91sam9263ek from Atmel.  Very much similar  to your Soc.

BTW, What did you mean by firmware?

Hi Ranjith

You call it scripting? I think Ruby's a full fledged language. Jump straight
into "code blocks" and start coding with those.

Re: [Ilugc] Convert to Tamil fonts in pdf

2010-06-28 Thread Nataraj S Narayan
Hi Girish

Its not quite  being a good samaritan.  Working on software involves too
much of abstract kinda life. Again dabbling in OS - varieties of those,
Linux,BSDs,arm-linux,  uclibc - being a kinda obsessed with anything... It
goes on, you know. Once in a while I need to come of out it, to be in
contact with the 'real world' out there, out of the computer room.  Real
world is not abstract but hard hitting, like say, visiting a goverment
office to get some certificates or roaming about to get a gas connection, or
else standing in the long queue of a hospital.

Hi

This is exactly what I want. I need to tell you that my native language is
not Tamil, but I am able to read Tamil well, but not quite deft at writing.


May be somebody can help me with the translation?  Please download from the
web site www.missingindiankids.com.

[Ilugc] Convert to Tamil fonts in pdf

2010-06-25 Thread Nataraj S Narayan
Hi friends

I am on Debian and  FreeBSD  for quite some years now. Don't use Windows at
all.

I am volunteer for http://missingindiankids.com. I get email alerts of
missing kids'  posters, in pdf format. My job is to take print outs and
stick those in public places. I concentrate mainly sticking posters in
Cinema Halls.

I would prefer to have the all information in the pdf posters to be in
Tamil, so that anybody can read and understand.

Kindly suggest some good tools to do the conversion.

Warm regards
