It is a big challenge to keep the blog updated when you do not have an internet connection at your home or you travel quite often. With my new job profile I happen to be in the second category. Now I am writing this entry with my mobile. It is not that easy to type in content as you do in your pc. But I am enjoying this method, as I can post anytime I want.
I was wondering if there is any app to post in wordpress from mobile.

How To Browse IPv6 Websites
August 31st, 2009

IPv6 is gaining popularity. Many sites are having IPv6 versions also. These days, I can see many torrents exclusively available on IPv6. In this post, I will guide you through a step by step procedure on how to browse IPv6 webpage on your windows box.
First, you need to have an IPv6 address. IPv6 Tunnel Brokers would help you achieve this. You can have an IPv6 tunnel created from Hurricane Electric’s free Tunnel Broker.
Get an Account from Hurricane Electric
It will take you to registration page. Fill in all the details.
Fill the registration form
Now it is time to login to your account.
Now that you have logged in, you can create a tunnel.
Let us create a tunnel
Just enter your IPv4 IP address. You can select a nearby location or Hurricane Electric will select one for you.
Let us enter the IPv4 address and nearby server
You will be taken to a page containing details of the created tunnel. You can select the OS and click the button.
Select the OS and Click the Show Config button
It will show the configuration generated.
Configuration for your platform is displayed
Open Command Prompt.
Open Command Prompt
Copy paste the configuration in the command prompt.
Now ping the IPv6 server IP address from the command prompt.
Ping the IPv6 Server IP
Now let us try if we can open a web page. Type http://ipv6.google.com in the address bar of your browser.
You should now see Google’s IPv6 Home Page – with bouncing logo.

Recovering Arch Linux
July 11th, 2009

Recently I moved to Arch Linux, for horror 
. It was a good experience, since I needed a less memory hungry OS. Arch is fine using only 60M in console and ~160M in GNOME. I needed to use some emulator which is very processor and memory hungry.
Yesterday, I tried some weird things and modified some configuration files. When I started the PC, I was dropped to recovery shell with ramfs$ prompt. Bad Luck! I searched Google, and found an article which gave me an idea on how to proceed with recovery.
First I created a USB bootable disk with Arch ISO. I started the PC from USB and I was dropped into working shell. Mounted my original partitions in a folder and issued chroot.
mkdir /mnt/oldroot
mkdir /mnt/oldroot/boot
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/oldroot/boot
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/oldroot
chroot /mnt/oldroot
Then I corrected the mistake and rebuilt kernel image.
mkinitcpio -p kernel26
It gave some error, saying that some of the files could not be accessed while processing automount. But it properly generated fallback image. I rebooted the PC, this time without the help of USB and chose Fallback from grub. I issued mkinitcpio command again and rebooted. My PC is back to the original state.
