Deapesh: New Hipster PDA
http://deapesh.blogspot.com/2009/04/new-hipster-pda.html
Saturday, April 11, 2009. In my last blog post. I mentioned that I was looking around to find out how I could make myself a Hipster PDA. I downloaded a few templates, printed them, cut them and used my Hipster PDA for sometime. I flip through the pages of my Hipster PDA more often than I add or remove sheets. So this weekend, I made myself a new Hipster PDA and I am pretty happy with the outcome! Here is a photo of this new Hipster PDA:. Here is a mini-howto for making this Hipster PDA:.

Deapesh: Hipster PDA
http://deapesh.blogspot.com/2009/03/hipster-pda.html
Thursday, March 26, 2009. I am thinking of making one for myself. My needs from an organizer of this kind are:. Should be a pen-paper solution. I should be able to move the pages around, so as to group them better. I should be able to carry it around in my pocket. It seems that the Hipster PDA. Will be a good choice. The mind.Depositor. Is also interesting. But I guess I will stick to plain index cards and clips :). A good site for templates is Active Voice’s download. LiveJournal Tags: Hipster PDA.

Deapesh: How to scratch out envelope 'Facing Identification Mark' (FIM) ?
http://deapesh.blogspot.com/2009/05/how-to-cancel-envelope-facing.html
Saturday, May 09, 2009. How to scratch out envelope 'Facing Identification Mark' (FIM)? I have been saving all the envelopes that I get within mail such as cell phone bills, credit card bills and any spam mail with return-envelopes. Consequently I now have a huge pile of clear window envelopes. I have been trying to reuse these envelopes and in that process discovered the significance of the pre-printed bar codes on such envelopes. All the envelopes that I have saved have the FIN A bar code on them.

Deapesh: Recovering from Hard disk failures
http://deapesh.blogspot.com/2010/05/recovering-from-hard-disk-failures.html
Sunday, May 09, 2010. Recovering from Hard disk failures. I went on a search engine usage spree to find what tools I could use to get the hard disk drive working. Thus I then tried connecting the HDD to a Windows Vista laptop. The Vista OS went into an infinite loop of mounting the partitions and then immediately unmounting them. So this option was closed to me. I decided to use Knoppix. I played around with the information that I got from that web page, but did not have much luck. I was able to mount th...

Deapesh: December 2007
http://deapesh.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 29, 2007. Blogspot displays incorrect time stamps. What time did I write this post? Blogspot/Blogger is reporting incorrect time! For the last two posts, the timestamp was behind the actual time by around 20-30 minutes. Google though is reporting the correct time. What is going on? Links to this post. Movies over the internet. Apple's decision to take on Netflix, Blockbuster and others, with their online movie viewing business plan sounds interesting. N that, movies are recommended.

Deapesh: Adding table borders in Scribus
http://deapesh.blogspot.com/2010/05/adding-border-lines-to-cells-in-tables.html
Tuesday, May 18, 2010. Adding table borders in Scribus. After having created a table in Scribus (version 1.3.3.12), I was surprised to see that when I created a pdf file, the table borders were invisible. I wanted the cell border lines to be visible. Searching the web for possible solutions seemed futile. But after playing around for some more time, I was able to figure it out and hence this blog post for someone else who is also seeking the solution. To create borders for the cells in a table:.

Deapesh: October 2010
http://deapesh.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 13, 2010. At a recent Vienna Wireless meeting, Ron (WA6YOU) gave an excellent presentation on the right way to solder and the right tools required to do so. Here are some of the most interesting points that I wrote down:. Flick the iron and solder after finishing soldering a piece. Always keep the iron tinned. This also implies that before turning the iron off, tin it! To use a solder wick, put some solder in the centre just before the end of the wick. Maybe add some rosin too.

Deapesh: Emergency Western Union Money Transfer Scams
http://deapesh.blogspot.com/2010/02/emergency-western-union-money-transfer.html
Tuesday, February 16, 2010. Emergency Western Union Money Transfer Scams. Recently, I came across these two Western Union scam emails asking the recipient to transfer money. Although these seem similar to the Facebook Western Union scam emails, there does not seem to be much about these emails on the internet. The only other information that I could find after a brief search on the internet which is similar to this is: http:/ hospitalera.com/an-emergency-i-think-not/.
