Seperating Line Numbers Off Source Code

This started as a good day , the day of pongal and i am on leave . No offices,computers and stupid IT people to stare at and completely happy .

When one of my clients had asked me , if i could get some 4000 youtube embed codes onto a website for a niche oriented website creation .

Hmmm , If it was 40 something , i would do them by hand , but 4000 is lol . So i had tried on some php classes on the wild internet and could find some libraries for help .

i found tellinya's xml rpc client as appropriate for the job , http://www.tellinya.com/read/2007/10/02/174.html# .
When i was about to copy the code from tellinya , i was posed with a problem ,

He had given the source code along with line numbers and i couldnt get the code out . it had line numbers on everyline on the left .

Hmmm :(

But the solution took less than a second .

I copied the source into a textfile and sprung up Excel .

Following were the steps i took to throw off the line numbers ,

1) Open the text file in excel and you would get the following import wizard . Click next to continue , as ours is delimited text.

2)Select Others and enter ‘.’ as period is used to seperate line number from the source code .

3) Press finish and copy the second column into a text file . WE ARE READY to rumble .

Thus was the day saved

Rani Revamped : The Making - Part 1

Its been really a long time , since any posts . So , i thought of writing down this series , Rani Revamped . I own the site , www.rani-mukharji.com , and i am currently in the process of revamping it , with a fresh new look .

Preferably , i would try to give it a Web 2.0 look , with nice big fonts , wet floors , and on the whole a rich Rani experience , to all of visitors of the site.
The site , actually gives out , everything related to Rani Mukherjee , the bollywood fame , from pictures , wallpapers , to her latest news and videos.

From , its initial launch , i have designed and redesigned the site once . The initial version was lame enough , and was black in color . The next version , which i redesigned was using Red as the base . It was refreshing with its bright look and was welcoming enough that my site's visit went up from an average of 10 daily to ,30,60, and 80 , when on writing this post.

So , again , after a long gap , i am thinking of giving the site , again a new look and feel . And this time , i have chosen Orange as my site's base , though my users have opted for green on my site's web poll .

And this whole post series , i have taken to describe the steps in building my new Rani theme , with Orange as my base .

Before we begin , the thing that actually brought me towards Orange , was that wordpress theme .

ScreenShot - Alternate 0 Wordpress theme

The theme was best suited for my needs because ,

1. The typography with the fonts was really awesome
2. The color combination was welcoming , with orange as background , and using black and white to display text
   
3. It was using an optimal amount of line height to display text , really what i wanted .
4. It had the navigation bar , on top , which i prefer to keep all important links in one place
   
5. It was perfect for online news and post display .

So , since this theme , suffered from a strong orange light , i thought of putting the whole site , into an orange box .

So , my first and foremost work , after choosing my wordpress template was to make my very own rani mukherjee banner .

Since orange was my color , i had to imbibe , into my banner , the following namely ,

1. The Name of site , in a bold typeface ,
   
2. The major color as orange , to reach out with the template
3. And most importantly a Photo or many , of our fame , Rani Mukherjee
4. And other eye candy items , to improve the overall view of the banner

So , this is the end of episode 1 , where we have just discussed facts , and in the following post , we will look at the process , i used to create the simple , but nice banner with photoshop .

Tiny Applications : For Your Cute Computer

Hey , fellas , found a new cool site , with lots of great links and stuffs . Man , i always suffer with a weird disease as long as i am with my system . Yeah , i always , like to have my system , as a clean lean kiddo with just the software it needs .
Not much and i hate bloated code , so every program that i install , i want it , to be the most efficient one . Efficiency , is with everything a program depends and works on . Size , CPU , power , tweak and hack capabilities , etc ..
Most , of my wandering activities , are concerned with and i do search for small and efficient applications that can get my job done .
More or Less , this actually , goes one on one with the UNIX philosophy , "Each of the unix tools in the box , does only one job but the one job they do well " .
So , i try to go for such applications , for my system . Appearance , is only the next thing i look into an application .
So , during my quest , i found this site very interesting and informative , and the author sure deserves a great credit .

TinyApps - www.tinyapps.org , is a site , that bookmarks the smallest applications over the internet along with answering all the categories concerned with the programs , namely internet , files , system etc..

Be sure , to have a look this site , when you have time , and i am sure , you would love this site .

Back Again ,

 I know , it seems rather idiotic , to write "Back and Back ..." , but it seems so and really happens that way . Really this 400mB connection is sucking the kind and i cant cope up with it .

But i think i had found the perfect alternative to keep off the internet , lately now .

Yeah , My College is conducting Campus recrutements and i am busy ( alteast showing myself to be :D ) . 2 Weeks before , Infosys , the company currently rocking india , 
the Indian Multinational , came , and took about 110 students from our college , 25 from my class . Bad that i didnt get selected , thats what happened , i Lost .

Yeah , and the next company namely , L&T is arriving , tommorrow , and i am trying to prepare for that . Wish me Luck Guyz , cause i need it this moment .

Leave it , thinking it makes me go insane . Yo !! , whats gonna happen tommorrow ?? .

( But when i write this post , i hear the background music of this movie , on air at my house " Samurai " , its going great . )
 
Anyway , anybody reading this post, this day , Wish Me Luck Guyz , i need it .
