Hey, Rmagick is a big pain installing it. I was really lazy and tired to install it. Previously in windows version, you need to do lot of configurations for it and it was really time consuming one and also hectic.
But to my surprise installing it in Ubuntu (8.10) was really really a breeze and was so cool and here’s the 2 gracious command to install Rmagick in Ubuntu.
sudo apt-get install libmagick9-dev ruby1.8-dev sudo gem install rmagick

Dining @ Sachin ka Dhaba
Posted on January 17, 2009, under Miscellaneous.
After a very long time, we(Perumal, Rajha Prabhu & myself) met and as usually discussed few things (which is of no use, but a chit chatting)and it was really really good nice meeting though!
After the initial meetup, we went had a tea in a tea stall and we went back to Rajha’s house and discussed few things and time was flying like anything. Finally the clock ticked to 9′O clock and we all buzzed each other to decide where to have the dinner and on the way, Perumal catched up Sachin Ka Dabba, which is on the main road to the kodambakkam.
We went there and to our surprise, the waiters gave the newpaper. We all thought it was a news paper and inside the page, the 2nd page, it was the menu and it was quite unique i.e. the menu designed on the news paper stuff.
We order the following and it was good:
1. Tandoori Naan
2. Tomato Soup
3. Veg Makkanwala
4. Veg Kadai
5. Gobi Manchurian Dry
6. Veg Pulao
and finally 2 Gulfi Ice.
And to all, it was a nice feast and we all were full. Will visit again to this place, shortly.
Ghanjini (Hindi) Review
Posted on January 1, 2009, under Miscellaneous.
I had been to Ghanjini movie, the remake of the Tamil version Ghanjini starred by Surya and Asin in Tamil. The Hindi version has created a much of hype by the media and as well by the producers. These hype created a enthu to watch this movie. Usually I’ll not watch hindi as I am not good in Hindi and i can’t catch up with the dialogues. Ok getting into the movie.
Its a typical remake of the tamil version with the exact screenplay, scenes and instead of Surya (Tamil), the hero is Amir Khan. I haven’t watched Amir’s movie earlier and this was the first one.
According to me, the Surya’s handsome and the feel good of the character DIDN’T suit Amir’s role. Hats off to Surya’s Performance and his stylishness in that movie. It can’t be compared with Amir. Sorry Amir!
All the characterisation and the screenplay, makes it look artifical and it was not “lively” like in the tamil version. I felt tamil version was too good compared to the Hindi Version. They have changed the climax in hindi and the way, the villan was beaten up was good and i liked it. Only the climax was better than the Original Tamil Version.
Verdict: Not that good and looks like a artificial one.
FTP Client Software
Posted on December 29, 2008, under Miscellaneous.
After using some beautiful software’s in Windows, I was hesitant to migrate to Ubuntu and my god…I never thought that Ubuntu would be so easy to use and its latest version is so easy in terms of GUI and you’ll never feel that you are using one of the Linux Distribution (Ubuntu).
I wanted a FTP client software to access my website and found that KFTPGrabber was very good and hence thought would like to share the same.
To have it installed you need to type the following command:
sudo apt-get install kftpgrabber
Happy File Transfer!
Ellam Avan Seyal – Movie Review
Posted on November 29, 2008, under Miscellaneous.
Today, I went for a movie (Ellam Avan Seyal) starring R.K and directed by Shaji Kailas. The first half of the movie is pretty boring and the second half of the movie is not that bad, but you shouldn’t expect logics in the screenplay. Just watch the movie without any questions. Though it had got little twist in the story, but still its not a comeback movie for the Malayalam movie director, Shaji Kailas.
Verdict: Not worth of your money…..If you’re really screwed up and have time, then you may go for this movie, watch it at your own risk.
Starring: R.K, Aashish Vidyarthi, Vadivelu, Manivannan, Vijayakumar
Director: Shaji Kailas
Rating: 2/5
