Not a bye, but an additional home

I recently bought a domain for myself at bhaskarghosh.in, and created my first wordpress driven blog cum site there.
I have been, since then, fighting with my wits, to stop duplicatability of efforts and naturally of posts and resources. But, I can simply not leave the beautiful look and feel of Google's Blogger, even when wordpress.org gives me much more control.
Please visit my new blog. I am not stopping my love for first house, but I have decided to share it with a new home.

Sync Facebook events with Google Calendar?

Ever missed events on Facebook, because there is no app that reminds you of your Facebook events?

Almost all Android phones are very well integrated with Google Calendar. So if we sync up the Facebook events with Google Calendar, our problem is solved!!!

Go to Facebook events
Select Export events
Facebook pops up a dialog where it displays an URL. Copy that URL.

Now go to Google Calendar.
Add a new Calendar (Select Add by URL)
Paste the URL copied earlier... And BANG!

All Facebook events are imported and always synced with the Google's Calendar!

Mozilla team made Firefox 4 available to Ubuntu community for testing.

1. Go to the mozilla-team firefox-stable personal package archive.
2. Lucid 10.10 or later: Add ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable to your system's Software Sources.
3. Karmic 9.10: Firefox 3.6 is the latest version available; there is no Firefox 4. To get latest version of Firefox 3.6, add ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable to your system's Software Sources.

How to change message center number in Android?

Have issues with sending or receiving sms-es??

Tip: Your message center number might be empty or wrong!

Solution: Very simple :)

1.  Dial *#*#4636#*#*.
2. You will get a menu, from that select Phone Information
3. You will find a setting "SMSC" 
4. Refresh it. It is most likely to retrieve the message center number from your operator. (Or call your operator, and get the message center number, and then update in this field)

Then the problem should be resolved!

Happy messaging!
