And my idiot @poomalairaj introduce me the world of `Hidden` services in Internet.Yes! Completely hidden in the open network.This is about how to walk into that forbidden world.

• All you need is ‘TOR’ network. You can download a Tor client with a Tor Browser which comes as a Bundle pack. Mine is Vidalia. Download the latest from Tor Project.
  

  Vidalia Control Panel

• Open the Vidalia Control Panel by the following command.

you@localhost:~$ /path/to/tor-browser_en-US/start-tor-browser
Launching Tor Browser Bundle for Linux in /path/to/tor-browser_en-US

• Now ‘Start Tor’. It’ll start Tor Browser and show the status tor browser. And you may notice a new IP on the tor browser’s Home page.
  

  tor-browser

• Now goto the real ‘forbidden network’. They call it as ‘Silk Road’. Read more about Silk Road on Wiki . Okay. Open the Silk Road’s Homepage.
• Register for your new account. You might be asked for a PIN. That’s very important. Never forget that.Once verified , login to Silk Road.

Silk Road Homepage

• On the account page, note down your BitCoin address and Deposit enough amount on it.You can Transfer your country currency into BitCoins using providers like Mr.BitCoins
• Then search for ‘Cannabis’ .

Cannabis – Search result

• To Order you need to have enough BitCoins on your account.
• Choose your right choice & Get delivered Cannabis to your door step.

Don’t worry . No one trace your identity on internet.Everything transferred over ONION protocol and you’re free from tracking worries.

Tips:

1. Change your identity every time as you wish so that the destination feel you’re from every corner of the Globe.
2. To make one particular country as your Source IP, modify ExitNode on the torrc located at tor-browser_en-US/App/../Data/Tor/torrc. Read more about ExitNode here

ExitNodes server1, CountryCode, server3
StrictExitNodes 1

My new benefit of Tor Project:

• Netflix says “Sorry, Netflix is not available in your country yet.” in my normal browser , while it ask me to ‘Start Your Free Month’ in my Tor Browser.

If you wish to have me one more time of Ganja , donate me to my BitCoin Account: 19U9QmUWMxtCT1LodVn5w59zxVnQzx4bfW

As requested, I’m adding the screen shot of torc file modification.

I often need to look into the weather reports for Chennai as I miss rainy days & expect it, but it wouldn’t.Moreover I feel more burning fire when I walk into the streets by 11am and my eyes are burning on the way to office by approx. 1pm everyday after I lost my StyleIcon sunglass.

Okay.The above scenario made me to track the weather daily, but Ubuntu doesn’t comes with any such widget and so I need to check for the same.

There comes the ‘Conky’ and I happy to work it.After a few tweaks Conky decorates my desktop.

Look at screen shots first, so that you might wish to install.

Here’s the steps to install the Conky & Weather widget:

1. Install Conky
2. Get the HTC style Weather widget from DevianArt
3. Configure your location in $HOME/.Conky/htc_home/accuweather/accuw_script
1. Todo this , first note down the URI for your weather location at www.accuweather.com
2. Replace the URI in address variable in $HOME/.Conky/htc_home/accuweather/accuw_script
4. Open your console & command the Conky to startup
5. Extra-Tip: Add this Conky to Start-Up , so that it every time delights you.

sudo apt-get install conky

Last week I shop for a decent laptop with that idiot Poomalai and he recommends me to buy ASUS X53U , as it is going to be gift to a Merit student of our High school as a part VOSA alumni activities.

It comes with AMD powered Brazos Processor and satisfies my requirement within the allocated budget.I loves that design and it comes with separate Numeric pad too.

The Perfect Fit for Work and Play

Looks better

There’s only FreeDOS as I don’t want to spend the collected money goes to Microsoft for Pre-installed Windows 7 and/or other.

Later few days, I try to install an OS. First I start with Ubuntu 11.04 from CD and got an error relating to Memory/SATA. I thought it might due to CD and tried with Ubuntu 7.04 . Again similar error. Next Kubuntu. No luck.

Then I purchase a new CD/ROM and burns the ISO with Brasero but to my (un)luck the burning process shows 100% success leaving no contents in the CD.One more waste disc.In that moment I vow my self to stop support to Optical Disc and ODD.

Again time to explore my disc box.

Left all debian family and goes to Sun platform. Starts again with openSolaris. Failure. Sun’s Dev Express Solaris.No luck so far. I thought of these issue due to CD R/W and I’m forced to boot from USB. Unfortunately I don’t have any working USB Flash , but my memory stick has some free 4GB in my LG E400.

Then I use Ubuntu’s ‘Start Up Disk Creator’ to burn the Ubuntu 12.04 ISO into my USB Flash and it wiped out all my contents in it.I know this’ll happen and backup my contents earlier in my Lenovo ideapad Z460/Ubuntu 12.04.

Now I hope everything going to be smooth as I starts installation on USB Flash mode and it seems so. Oops.Same issue.

I lost hope of installing OS and packed it, as there’s no more time.

The next day , in my native my friends tried with Windows 7 and Windows XP but no luck.As time doesn’t permit we starts the function and gift this ASUS and informed the person we need to install OS, so that he can use the Laptop.Meantime I enquired the Customer care and they ask me to bring the Laptop.

After 2 Hours, I submit the Pack to the Customer Care at Madurai[154,North Veli St,Simakkal.There’s two 154 in the same road :)]. There’s no electric power, but earlier charged it for some 4Hrs which helps to look at the issue.

Booting into BIOS , they simply goes to the Advanced Settings tab and Change the SATA Configuration to IDE , so that the HDD gets detected during installation of OS.Everyone there faced this issues and they say this is an Known bug , but occurs only 1/6 piece.

And they installed the Windows7 , what we brought to them.

My question here is :

• Why the ASUS doesn’t mention that change anywhere in the Manual?
• Why the Customer Care people ask me to change when I enquire on this?

But any how, I’m not disappointed at that moment, because an OS got installed.

Okay and here is the snapshot of How to check the same.

SATA as IDE in BIOS

“How to Change the SATA Configuration to IDE in ASUS X53U BIOS prior to install any Operating System”

By time of 6PM , we returned the piece to the merit student and thanked us for that extra effort.

Hope this ASUS X53U helps his higher studies.
