Most of the tutorials for installing zencoding are outdated, explaining the installation of 0.5.x versions, which has a completely different hierarchy.
First of all, a new version (as of now), 0.6.1 has been released. If you have just 0.6, then get this new one. Also, delete any previous attempts of installation, i.e. delete any project you created to install zencoding (probably called zencoding), or this won’t work.

If you open a web page in say, Firefox, click ‘print’ and use a PDF driver like PrimoPDF, PDF995 or anything else, you will find that the hyperlinks are not clickable.
This is quite annoying. I recently download a book (in HTML format) from Project Gutenberg. The clickable Table of Contents are really great. But I prefer converting it to PDF and reading it there (for many reasons).
What’s the solution? Simple… I opened the HTML file in OpenOffice Writer/Web (sweb.exe). I used the PDF Export option to write the PDF file. And you’re all set! The hyperlinks would work great.
At least, I can now enjoy reading those books. I hope this solves your problem.
When I ask this, I’m not talking about applications you create and put up for download. I’m talking about the snippets that you post on your blog or website.
Surprisingly, many simply copy and paste scripts they have created on their website for users to use without any appropriate copyright or license information. This is mostly because we often create scripts for ourselves, and adding license information is the last thing we do, if at all we do it.
I don’t know about the legal mumbo jumbos in the United States. But it’s always safe to declare that you’re releasing your snippet “as-is”, and you’re not responsible for any damage arising from it, etc.
Also, potential users of your script/snippet might want to know it’s licensing terms for various reasons.
It’s good to release your script under an open source license or under Creative Commons (any flavour of it). This way, your works can be adapted by others for their own need.
By making your small snippets open source, you also contribute to the open source community. Your snippet might become a part of a vital tool, or a larger project. It also helps gather creative minds to improve upon your ideas.
Anyway, I do not imply that closed-source software is bad. You may release proprietary software. However, if you’re releasing a small script or snippet for others to use freely, consider one of the open source licenses.
Who knows? Your contribution might become a thing to be proud of in the future.
When you try to upload a file through WordPress, you get the following error:
Unable to create directory /home/USERNAME/public_html/wp-content/uploads. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
To solve this:
There is more than one way to do it. However, there is one and only one way that gets the job done better than all others. Damn. Has Python won?
There are many ways to solve a problem. We share our own views in online communities, learn new methods and use the one that suits us the most.

The previous theme I had was pretty graphic intensive for no reason, and required around 60 HTTP Requests. So, instead of an eye-candy theme, I settled for Cutline Theme. It’s simple, it’s great, and my blog loads much faster.
Also, it’s very pleasing on the eyes. The layout looks simple and the content looks inviting. I’ll be doing some custom modifications to the CSS to give it a more unique look.
Anyways, if you’re looking for a good minimalistic theme for your blog, Cutline is a great choice. Look at my blog’s footer for a link to it.
You might have already seen a lot of Perl vs Python stuff. So I’m telling you in advance that I’ve too have read them all, and what you’re going to read here would be completely different than what you already have.
Firstly, let me start by saying that Perl and Python are great languages. But they have their own differences, which is precisely why we have two different languages. If they were the same, why have two different languages at all?
The people who are biased against a language are the one who try to write Python in Perl or Perl in Python. They want Perl to work like Python or vice versa. And if you’re intelligent enough, you’ll quickly understand that there is no point in having them both work in the exact same way. Continue reading “Perl vs Python – The Final Battle”
