Then it searches and kills all the worms found.

Opening Docx

I have always been a ‘lobby’ for Open Source Softwares esp Linux(Ubuntu).

My dad’s computer has Office XP on Windows XP and recently he has been getting .docx attachments from his ‘writers’ around the world. And since the work has to complete and its already the ‘eleventh hour’, Microsoft’s ‘crypt’ has to be decrypted asap, and here in my house my ‘OpenOffice 2.4 on Ubuntu 8.04′ helps.

There are other ways to do that too..

The best way for Windows users who have a version of Microsoft Office installed is to install the Microsoft compatibility pack for previous Office versions that adds .docx support in Microsoft Word.

The best approach for users that do not use Microsoft Office, including Mac and Linux users, would be to use one of the several online converters that convert docx files into doc.

Windows users could also download the Word Viewer application from Microsoft that opens .docx documents properly but cannot alter them.

But once again, OpenOffice 2.4 is free and can easily open the microsofts ‘.docx’.

Toblerone

I

Remember this scene from the movie ‘Jane Tu…’

What is the ‘thing’ in Jay’s hand which he is trying to share with Aditi?

Yes, its Toblerone…

I had watched this movie on a DVD around 4 times and I hadn’t noticed the chocolate, but as I watched the same movie at the theater today, I could recognize the stick!

I love toblerone, and one of the reason is ‘it’s’ presence on Dr. Bhagwan Koirala’s table. (Thanks to the City Post)

I googled around to find that Toblerone was created by Theodor Tobler in 1908. He is possibly dead by now… but I always remember him when i see that chocolate. Mr  Tobler, may you rest in peace…

Was that a compliment?

It was the morning round in the Medicine-II ward and it was raining outside…

4 consultants, some residents and 5 of us… the interns…

Topic of discussion.. the products of BPKIHS are not good in Pharmacology….

I was standing in front of the teacher, and I knew I was getting the ‘test’ question….

I couldn’t save myself… Question fired…. “Classify Penicillins”….

Blank look… counted my toes…. and showed my teeth…

question passed to other interns, no answers yet… and finally one of the residents answered…

And our professor said.. “you are interested in IT right?”

and it continued from another teacher… “computer engineer bannu parne manche……”

and the professor continued.. “you should take up the subject you are interested in, you should be a carpenter if you are good at it.. the only thing is you must be the best carpenter…”

and our A.Professor said.. “Abish, I can recommend you to a best college for IT Medicine in Netherlands, good money, great place, and very demanding… I can write a letter for you if you like..”

Am I supposed to be happy ? Was that a compliment or they want to kick me out of clinical medicine ?

Those three lines..

My lappy was in coma since two weeks…

Some Error 18 in GRUB which meant that therew was journal problem in the superblock of my partition…

I tried everything, downloaded Gparted live CD, SuperGrub Disk….

But the two lines from Jwalanta did the magic…

sudo debugfs /dev/sda1
rdump /home/abish /media/disk/recovered
rdump /var/cache/apt /media/disk/apts

I got all my files back and all the packages…

then i installed a fresh ubuntu…

sudo dpkg -i –force-depends *.deb was the next command that installed everything as it was…

this is why people say.. “sunar ko 100 chot, lohar ko ek chot…”

Being FOSS-ified!

Since yesterday I am on ‘FOSS Nepal’ T-shirt, the gray color T-shirt with the TUX on the back. I have always loved ‘adventure’ in computers and I don’t have to think twice to say that I am a ’super enthusiast’ of Linux, a component of free and open source softwares.

Jwalanta Shrestha was in Biratnagar and we caught him and asked him to talk about FOSS and linux in Dharan. He gave a wonderful presentation about the FOSS and Linux… (the best dialogue, Nepal is a free country doesn’t mean ‘Nepal sittai ma paincha’)

My linux knowledge has lots of dark areas which need some light.. and I am happy to explore…

The support for people like me in Linux is really amazing, I get answers for my queries (even for the most stupid questions) immediately and that has impressed me a lot about the whole thing.

I would be happy if I could be of any help to the new Linux users so that we have lots of Linux users around. This way I wont feel alone in the exploration of the vastness of Linux.

I am happy that I am FOSS-ified…

Graduation- Vitamin C

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we’re gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won’t be coming back
No more hanging out cause we’re on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don’t have another day
Cause we’re moving on and we can’t slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn’t know much of love
But it came too soon
And there was me and you
And then we got real blue
Stay at home talking on the telephone
We would get so excited and we’d get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life’s not fair
And this is how it feels

[1] – As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come Whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever

So if we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won’t interfere with her tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it’s not goodbye
Keep on thinking it’s a time to fly
And this is how it feels

La, la, la, la:
Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la:
We will still be friends forever

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it’s like we’re women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us ’round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it’s not goodbye
Keep on thinking it’s a time to fly

As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come Whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever….

Prescribing ‘Hamro’

Yesterday I was just surfing through the channels available on the ‘Rangeli Cable’ with my glass of tea when the door bell rang. It was the peon from emergency and his as usual, ‘dactar saab, patient aacha’. Since I was the only one with full pants, I had to go to attend the patient. So, I carried my stethoscope and Palm, borrowed a dot-pen and walked out of the hostel thinking what might be the condition.

She was an old lady, widow in white dress, shaking and beating her chest. The first thing that came to my mind was, ‘Can I save her?’ 2 women who had brought her to the hospital carried her to the rusty examination bed. She was really in ‘dis-ease’ was all I could make out. She wasn’t responding to my questions but was very anxious. All she was saying was ‘my heart is beating really hard.’ I held her hand, checked her pulse and blood pressure, listened to what her heart and lungs were ’saying’. Everything seemed ‘WNL’(within normal limits) to me. It was a panic attack! Yes! A diagnosis.

Now the drugs.. An anxiolytic to help her out of the ‘beating heart’, a bottle of saline according to the relatives’ wish and ‘Hamro’ a multivitamin syrup. We were always taught that multivitamin syrup is just a waste of money, but still we prescribed it because we were looking forward to a ‘party’ from the medical representative of the same company.

The patient’s relative brought the medicines, everything was going well. After the patient was feeling better, I wanted to find out the ’stressor’ for the panic attack- the way psychiatry teachers taught us. I was amazed to find out that I had managed her suicidal son a week back. It had taken a week for her son to be mentally stable after the self-poisoning.

She was living with her alcoholic son and a grandson. Her son was not earning and she had been doing tailoring to run the house. She was being physically assaulted by her son who didn’t even let her eat properly. She was crying when she was telling me how her life had turned into hell. All I could do was nod my head. Her neighbors paid for the medicines because she had none. She really was ‘poor’ economically, socially and functionally… and I added some more of that.

I prescribed her something that she didn’t need, for my gain! A bottle of multivitamins worth 80 rupees, was not meant to help her, but me. I knew I had done something really wrong. I promise not to do that again. A lesson to learn!

Using CDMA Wireless Modem in Ubuntu

Using CDMA USB Wireless Modem with NTC Sky Phone R-UIM in Ubuntu!

Things needed:
CDMA USB Wireless Modem- ~3000 rupees.
R-UIM Card from NTC ~1200 rupees.
Ubuntu 7.10 (Not sure about other versions!)

Just Put the RUIM inside the wireless modem and plug it to the USB Port.

1. Put in the RUIM into the device and insert as USB.

2. Now you need to edit the file called /etc/wvdial.conf by the command ’sudo nano /etc/wvdial.conf’
This is my setting:
________________________________
[Dialer Defaults]
In it1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = USB Modem
Baud = 460800
New PPPD = yes
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
ISDN = 0
Phone = #777
Password = 9741147061
Username = 9741147061
______________________________
make sure that the password and username is the same.. that is.. your phone number!
save the file using Ctrl+X

3. Now edit the file  /etc/network/interfaces  by the command ’sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces’
_______________________________
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface ppp0 inet ppp
provider ppp0
gateway 10.64.64.64
_______________________________
now save the file again using Ctrl+X

4. Now the file called /etc/resolv.conf is edited using ’sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf
________________________________
nameserver 202.70.64.5
nameserver 202.70.64.15
________________________________
save again using Ctrl+X

5. You are done.. now you are just so close to surfing… wait for a second now.. now restart your machine…

6. In the terminal type : ‘wvdial’
you will now get:

Emotions

(Originally from Jitesh: http://khichadi.wordpress.com/category/the-emotional-fool/ )

Its 4:50AM and the light is dim.
Cup of chocolate is full to the brim.
My heart is full of emotions.
Excess chocolate always awakens
Nothing new! It often happens

But I can’t deny, something is different today.
Something has struck deep and has broken the shell.
There is a strong desire to speak to someone.
No!!!!!!! Not to someone but just to you!!

But…Why You??
I know your tears but not the eyes
I know your smile but not the face
I know your words but not the voice
I know your name but not the identity
I have never seen you, never heard you and never touched you.
Then why this desire and
Why you??

Perhaps I have an answer
Perhaps a footprint must have a foot
Perhaps you are not a lie but a truth
Your unspoken words tell me that you exist.
Not just in my dream but also on this mother earth.

The cup is full to the brim.
But it is not the chocolate that is in excess
It is the love which is overflowing.
The burden of love can no more be endured
The need to love exceeds the need to be loved.
This love is all yours, don’t let it drain
Take a sip and relieve my pain

Its still 4:50 AM
But soon the dawn would come again
Smiles would hide the pain again
Love would spill the cup again
Mind would rule the heart again
I don’t know when I would be Me again

_________________________________________________

I don’t know who Jitesh is, don’t know anything about him, but I do know these emotions. The same emotions, the same pain, the same expectations and the same ‘defense mechanism’.

Cheers Jitesh, we share the same emotions…

Frustrated!

I really hate to wait. I waited for someone for half hour, with empty stomach and ‘exhausted’ body today. You can guess how I might be feeling. Tried calling them, but the network was a strong barrier!

Friend

Friend: A person you know well and regard with affection and trust.

affection (http://definr.com/affection)

n : a positive feeling of liking;

trust (http://definr.com/trust)

n: certainty based on past experience.

n: complete confidence in a person.

n: expect with desire.
‘Aakh hai bhari bhari, aur tum muskurane ki baat karte ho..’  was the song that was on the radio when I was sitting at Neeva’s thinking how I am to adjust with the change in lifestyle. Searching for a ‘positive’ change this change is to bring.
God bless the ‘affection and trust.’

Passing MBBS..

‘Samaya le manis lai kaha kaha puraucha….’

I was about to have a cup of coffee with Bijay Dai at the Doko Restaurant, Putalisadak. My mobile started to vibrate, a vibration that brought the news… ‘ Abishey, ta pass bhais’….
and then…. A big smile… Then…?
‘Yar.. malai ta kehi aaudaina,  ke garne yar…’

hehe…

Treatment of Phobias

Phobia: An uncontrollable, irrational, and persistent fear of a specific object, situation, or activity.

Simple or specific phobias have been quite effectively treated with Behavior therapy.
The behaviorists involved in classical conditioning techniques believe that the response of phobic fear is a reflex acquired to non-dangerous stimuli.
If the person were to be exposed to the non-dangerous stimulus time after time without any harm being experienced, the phobic response would gradually extinguish itself. This is not likely to occur naturally, so behavior therapy sets up phobic treatment involving exposure to the phobic stimulus in a safe and controlled setting. Foa and Kozak (1986) call this exposure treatment, so called because the patient is exposed to the phobic stimulus as part of the therapeutic process.

I wish i could explain this in my context!
But I am not sure if this is working on me…. is it? not exactly sure…

Irritation

v. ir·ri·tat·ed, ir·ri·tat·ing, ir·ri·tates

v.tr.1. To rouse to impatience or anger; annoy: a loud bossy voice that irritates listeners.

never knew, Irritation included ‘anger’.
I always argued… ‘m just irritated… not angry!’ hehe…
