Linux : Easy way to share files with Dropbox

With Dropbox, you will able to share and automatically sync your file into the Dropbox server. Pretty easy and fast too!

For Linux, go here. https://www.dropbox.com/downloading?os=lnx . In this post, this is how-to for Fedora.

Environment : Behind proxy.

1. Download and install dropbox rpm. (rpm -ivh)
2. From terminal dropbox start -i to start Dropbox daemon. Register with Dropbox if you did not have any Dropbox account.

*After the setup, you will see, Dropbox folder in your /home/. This is where Dropbox will sync the folder with the Dropbox server. Basically, you just upload any files on the Dropbox folder and it will automatically sync to the server.

3.After you place any file on the Dropbox folder, let's say Dropbox/Public, you will see there is an small emblem to your file.



4. After awhile, your file will sync to the server. Head to Dropbox account, you will see the file that you just sync via /home/Dropbox folder. :)

*there is a dropbox icon in you tray.


Below are screenshot for Dropbox.

Picasa 3 on Fedora 13

Oh yeah. After few weeks of using Picasa 3.0, Picasa suddenly crash. Nvm.

Here is the workaround.

Picasa 3.0 for Fedora. Can get it here : http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/testing/i386/picasa-3.0-current.i386.rpm

Stated there, All downloads are approximately 30 MB: Picasa software (13 MB), Wine (11 MB) and Gecko engine (6 MB).

So, I assume Gecko is the culprit.

Let's setup Gecko first.

Refer here. http://wiki.winehq.org/picasa

You need winetricks. From winetricks, pick Gecko. Then OK.
Make sure you already have cabextract. yum install cabextract.




Then,



If you behind proxy, set your proxy at /etc/wgetrc

Done.

Google goggle coming to iPhone

What so fuss about Google goggle?

Google Goggles lets you search Google using pictures from your camera phones. We take an image as input, and using several image recognition backends (object recognition, place matching, OCR, etc), we return relevant search results

So? Checkout this video.



Every time someone asking me about Android, this is the software I did mention after all the "What is Android?" explanation.

Since I less travelling and maybe someday, for any reason I will travel to anyplace you can name it, this is the first software that will come in my mind.

Snap the picture, and Google goggle will do the job for you by acquiring any related information, so you will not bother to ask people. Independent huh?

As much as Google goggle is made for Android, I'm looking forward for this software coming to iPhone. With the new push for Google app in iPhone, this is the major step for users to maximize the Google app.

And, to have Google Talk standalone app with backgrounding would be awesome! :)
