Elinks is real good as in speed and coolness. Even facebook thinks elinks is damn cool :P . Check out the screen shot below, which shows what happened when I tried to open facebook in elinks.

So out of boredom (once again :P ) googled for sometime to improve my blog hits and did the following steps.

1. Install All in one SEO plugin for wordpress. I am not sure what this does but just followed what the wordpress codex site had suggested.

2. In my wordpress Dashboard, Settings->Writing added the following url’s to the update services coloumn list.
http://rpc.pingomatic.com/
http://api.moreover.com/ping
http://api.my.yahoo.com/rss/ping
http://blogsearch.google.com/ping/RPC2
http://ping.bitacoras.com
http://ping.feedburner.com
http://ping.syndic8.com/xmlrpc.php
http://rpc.blogrolling.com/pinger/
http://rpc.icerocket.com:10080/
http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping
http://rpc.weblogs.com/RPC2
http://topicexchange.com/RPC2
http://www.blogdigger.com/RPC2
http://www.blogoole.com/ping/
http://www.popdex.com/addsite.php
http://www.wasalive.com/ping/
http://www.weblogues.com/RPC/
http://blogping.unidatum.com/RPC2/

3. Went to Pingomatic site and selected the list of sites that should ping my blog site.

And it worked. My blog hits raised by a very nice number inspite of me posting nothing. If you have found your niche and already there are lot of followers I guess you can increase your ratings this way.

Dial up is working in linux FOR me ! Well this might not be news for many , but yeah its a big one for me ! Without this i had been disconnected for more than one semester hols .
What did i do for making the dial-up work ??
Simple – Installed Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon ran wvdial – the gnome PPP dialer! it worked just out of the box ! All i had to know was to do was to add
my user name and password for the dial up connection ! sweet isn’t it ??
1. sudo wvdialconf
this generated a wvdial configuration file for connecting to net using ur modem

2. sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
change the username, password and dial up number in that file of my ISP .2.png
3. sudo wvdial
it throws a lot of garbage and then finally obtains few DNS & IP addresses!


Then u can use firefox or any other application to connect to net ! thats all :)

Now after this , i also installed a gnome application called PPP dialer , which is a GUI for wvdial.

Just a day has passed since i came back home . Already two big things happened ! Hope hols have lots more for me :P

PS : the other thing is OGRE, which will be in another blog :)
