I added some amazon advertisement to my blog. Actually it is very simple to do.
Go to amazon associates . There you have to create one account and register your web site. When you log in, you have an option to 'build links/widgets '. From there select your format of advertisement and you will get html code with your account id inserted(verify it) . Copy and paste it in your blog.... thats it.

ubuntu running
Today only I installed ubuntu linux. After installation I had xserver configuration problem in ubuntu so that I could not go to graphics mode. I tried lot off time to login as root(super user) . Actually ubuntu will not ask root password at installation time. Finally I had to google for that. Then I got 'sudo' command. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo . Reconfiguring command for xserver is 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
A confession of a Btech student... the things I forgot to follow
Really I wasted lot off time in Btech life. When I joined in the Electronics & comm department , I thought I would get everything from teachers itself. But in Btech 90% of things, a student need to study by himself... that is fact. It is possible... easily possible. But you should follow whatever principles you followed in the schooling time. Wake up early at least 6 am. Give half an hour to every subject in every day. .... every body will have one time table in school time.One thing that is different in college, teachers will not take portions everyday . So we have to study ourself to cover that day portions. Main problem for students failing to follow these principles in Btech ( from my experience and problems me faced) are .....
Following some superheros..... Those are coming in car to college or showing that they have some money or having 3 or 4 girl friends to talk...haha. Don't follow them. They are only showing their father's money or what they got before coming to college. Believe that you are the superhero. Show your hard work and abilities in studies and helping others. You can show things that you learned after coming to college. For that you must try to clear your weaknesses..... struggle for that.
Wasting time . ... In my college life, I stayed in hostel. In that days , I didn't get interest to study, because no portions of subject were moving. ... Nothing to study. The subject that taking in classes were not interesting. But one thing I can tell, if you try to study subject daily , you can create interest in those subjects easily and you can follow teacher's classes also. But Btech study culture is, only studying in exam holidays. I will tell, you can pass exams with that study, but it will not give satisfaction in study. Don't follow that culture , follow the study culture you got from your schooling. My mother is a teacher, so I know how strictly I followed sch ool time table and my own time table , including weekly revision of subjects.( i really confessing. ) . I forgot to tell how I wasted my time in Btech life. Actually i didn't get my own private time. Always some friends wil be there.( these are not their problem only , I also included in disturbing others ) .. playing cards , going for movies, talking about waste things...... etc. These things are needed, I know . But no limitations was there in my Btech life. “ Better you take single room or come from home to college . You should get your own 5 hours time daily“ this is my first advice to Btech students.
Make use of everything in your college... attend your teacher's class.. I least go and attend the classes. If you are following the daily portions then that classes will be helpful. Attend seminars , technical talks of every subject ,including other department. “Don't think I am a electronics student so why should I attend a computer science or mechanical subject talk”. Attend... attend. No need to understand everything . Make use of your library. Read books.... Don't read for exam. Study to get some extra knowledge. This was the No:1 mistake I did in my Btech. I didn't take even a single book from my main library.... I am really regretting because of that. But I usually go and take magazines from my department library . There are really good books and magazines that you can not subscribe or buy. My favorites are 'linux for you', 'PC Quest', 'electronics for you'. Go and participate every technical programs in every college.
The things that you must follow other than you followed in school are you must make a habit of browsing Internet 1 hour daily . Relate the subject you studied and the information you got from Internet . Try to acquire knowledge,technology,computer programming language from Internet. This is not for CS ,ECE but for every Btech student, Every day you should try for some new thing from Internet. At the same time you should not go back in your college subjects.
Every week or month you should try a project with the information you get from college, internet, magazines, books. In electronics there are lot off magazines and projects avaliable . Try to do those things monthly as group( with your friends) or individual.
Try to read English news papers daily and discuss daily news. That will improve your English as well as communication skill.(second mistake I did)
