Right now, my EDGE only Samsung Star phone gives a speed result of 1509 Kbps on mobilespeedtest.com On dslreports.com, I get a message to choose a larger file, so I choose 1 MB abd it says "Unstable/too fast a result (1.427s) pleasechoose alarger file". 1 MB is their largest file. On ISPgeeks.com, my test result is 4 Mbps. Wow! Before doing the tests, I had cleared by browser cache. Binand, could you check your email settings.

Calculating Time Difference in Bash
by Rony 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

Hello, I am trying to set up an el-cheapo attendance system that only calculates how late the person has come with reference to a fixed office time. I don't want to use any database+server thing as that is complex and users are less than 20. I am thinking of a simple approach with cheap and simple biometrics to prevent impersonation. A cheap web cam will click light thumbnails and a timestamp will be generated. Every month a file will be generated after which the photos can be erased automatically. The result file will be a .csv one that can be imported in any Office application. I am stuck at the point of calculating time difference. There doesn't seem to be a direct command that will calculate time difference in HH:MM format. This link mentions a work around http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/shell-script-to-get-the-time-difference/ but it first converts time into %s which is the number of seconds since 1970. However every day for the fixed opening time, say 10:00 this figure is not constant. One way out is that every day the %s figure is generated at exactly 10:00 and this is then 'diff'ed with the user's attendance time in %s. This is then divided by 60. Is there a simpler bash command that I may have overlooked that simply takes in 10:17 and 10:00 and says 00:17? -- As a proper list etiquette..... Please trim your replies.

Kohacon Registration page - Co-presenter anybody?
by Rajagopal Swaminathan 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

Greetings, Please note that there are participants from at least 14 countries apart from India that too within few weeks of announcement. http://kohacon11.vpmthane.org/ocs/index.php/k/k11/schedConf/registration Surely the students and practiioners too will gain a lot. I am planning to experiment and present CentOS as a robust High Availability Platform for Applications like KOHA/DRUPAL etc. I don't know what I will Land up with though over the course of time. Some of the question I am looking at in a practical viewpoint of an Application and IT infrastructure Architect are: 1. We need to look at lifetime of the application like KOHA - perhaps 10 year in the timeline of a library? 2. Is the quick changing Fedora/Ubuntu stand the trial? 3. What is the interaction between DSpace etc? 4. Can they both be running in HA peacefully? 5. etc. If so please reply on this list. I must declare that I am not going to invest INR(Money) in this. I can't afford HA hardware at this point of time. Would anybody like to join me in presenting a paper or experimenting? Perhaps two different department can jointly decide to own one server each and bring it together for HA demo teaching purposes and then use it later individually or using the HA setup for themselves and to educate next gen of the students. Regards, Rajagopal

PHP timestamp difference on Linux and Windows systems
by pankaj＠glug4muz.org 20 Mar '11

20 Mar '11

Hi, When I am executing a php code like below: <?php $timestamp=mktime(0,0,0,3,1,2011); echo $timestamp; ?> on Linux and Windows system then there is always a difference of 19800 in output. The result shown on Linux system is always 19800 less than the value displayed on Windows system. But theoretically output on both systems should be same because the number of seconds elapsed since 01/01/1970 to 03/01/2011 should always be same on both operating systems. Can any one please explain the reason behind this difference. -- Best Regards ... Pankaj Kumar

Hi I am using Ubuntu 10.04(Lucid). My mtnl wireless connection was working pretty smoothly for a long time. Until recently when I had some landline issues. Now the connection seems to be experiencing some problems. Some observations: - Sites are taking more than expected time to open up - Facebook and Twitter not reachable at all (this might sound funny, but its true) I am using Firefox 3.6.15 What could be the problem? -- Sahil Dave
