Desktop application Vs Web Application

is this the end of the desktop applications era?

you may ask why i said so. even though i'm a PHP developer, when it comes to large scale projects i always recommended to have it as a desktop application. but now I've changed my mind. web applications was lacking one thing for sure. it was the ability to perform multiple tasks at once. but today this is totally different.

today i've dowloaded the eyeOS.
"eyeOS is an Open Source Web Desktop Environment, commonly known as Web Operating System (Web OS) or Web Office"

it was simply superb. the total file size of the source files was just 1Mb. then i extracted it to "/var/www" and then i opened an web browser and typed "localhost/eyeOS" . and there was a warning message saying that ./etc/ folder needs 777 access level. so i changed the access level and then refreshed the browser window. then it asked for the root password, and it was all.

this is eye candy. for sure.

the eyeOS seems to be the most interesting web application i've ever used. with its endless opportunities i cant even imagine what the web is going to be.

installing applications is really simple. all you need to do is download the eyeOS application from the web and open the "eyeApps" application in the eyeOS menu. and then click "install apps" button placed top-left of that window. and then just link to tar.gz file you've downloaded from the application library.

i'm going to install this in my server. so then i'll be having access to all my files at the same place and i'm getting the authority to manage all my files in one browser window.

setting up ur notebook's wireless network connection

Today i was configuring a new testserver for PHP5 at my office, suddenly i noticed that even though i have a wifi enabled laptop that it is not capable to login to the internet using that. i use two operating systems in my laptop "Windows XP" and "Debian". most of the time i login to the debian account. but whenever im in the office i plug the network cable to my laptop.

but due to what happened today i had to log in to the windows account, and from there i configured the wireless network. wow surprisingly it connected to our office wireless network within minutes. so then i knew that there might be something which stopped me configuring it in my Linux account.

so once again i reboot the notebook and logged in to the debian account. and there i tried to connect to office wireless network. but i found that it is not working. and then when i dmesg i found an error code looks similar to "bcm43xx: Error: Microcode "bcm43xx_microcode5.fw" not available or load failed."

and for this error i've installed the bcm43xx-fwcutter which ws a contrib package. then i thought the problem is resolved. and then i found the new network connection eth0 when i ifconfig.

bt nw when i execute "ifup eth0" it keeps saying "DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 13" and so on. and after six attempts it says "No DHCPOFFERS received. No working leases in persistent database - sleeping."

i've used a static IP to replace DHCP even though it didnt worked.

i've installed kismet-server , airsnort , linux-wlan-ng. and then i tried to airsnort scan. bt it didnt worked too.

im still finding an answer for this. i'll update this topic as soon as i get the answer.
