Create your own phone synchronisation server

I use Siemens CX70 mobile phone since 2005 and still I’m using it and it’s my only phone. Anyway, it’s not funny :P

My phone’s display is going to die soon, the process already started :cry: . I love this phone for it’s customisable features. If somehow it dies or it’s stolen then I’m so dead. My 5/6 years all contact will be gone. So the best process is to sync it somewhere, so all the contacts remains and I can use those contacts to other phone. I started to dig today about this issue.

My OS is ubuntu and I was not able to pull those contacts from mobile to my laptop. I can’t send the contact’s via bluetooth, because it has only infra-red. So I was looking for some sync service and I found one. After 1 hour of effort I was able to sync my contacts with the memotoo. But after syncing my contacts it says I reached the limit and I need an account upgrade :mad:

May be there are some other cool services to sync free and I don’t know about them. If you know some, please let me know. But I decided to setup a service on my server only for me :D and I found mooha. After looking into it, I found very easy to set it up.

The process is very easy, download the script from google code. There is sql file for database table creation. Create a database on your server and import the sql file. Now give the database credentials on the config.php file and you are done :D

The default username and password is mooha. You can change it and/or add as many user as you want.

It’s time to setup my phone’s remote synchronisation tool. I gave my mooha server address like http://example.com/mooha/index.php and my username/password and contact path it synced successfully :cool:

Bought Amazon Kindle for E-Book reading

I was looking for a e-book reader device for my reading purpose, because I am not comfortable reading in the laptop screen. I went to know about Amazon Kindle device and I was looking for buying it. It’s an awesome device for e-book reading experience. But from Bangladesh it’s very hard to buy online. Paypal is not available and international transaction is also not available in our country. If I somehow manage to buy it, there is no way to bring the device to our country.

The only solution was to buy it online, then ship it to any country that supports shipping by amazon.com and someone is there whom I know. Then bring the device by any of those guy’s. Bring it by postal service is not secure in Bangladesh and if somehow it reaches to Bangladesh, the customs department will do extra charge to release it. It’s so much pain :( Continue reading

I became a fan of KM Player

From somedays, i am using KM Player also known as ‘The KM Plyer’. I used Power DVD for plying DVD files. But it can’t play all the movie formats and it is getting resource hungry and more size day by day. At this meantime, i got the ‘KM Plyer’ and i became a fan of it for it’s wide support of video formats and it is also a free software. Controlling KM Plyer is very strong. You can control playing options of it by any means. I am placing the features of KM player below as it was given in their website. I think you will loving it.KM Plyer

ব্যবহার করুন গুগল ডেস্কটপ

গুগল ডেস্কটপ হল বিভিন্ন প্রয়োজনীয় গেজেটের সংমিশ্রণে তৈরী একটি সফটওয়ার। এটাকে গেজেট কালেকশনও বলা যেতে পারে। কি নেই এতে ?
এর গেজেটের তালিক এত বিশাল যে আপনাকেই দেখে নিতে হবে। তাও কয়েকটা বলছিঃ
ওয়েব ক্লিপ, স্টক, নিউজ, অরকুট, স্ক্র্যাচ প্যাড, ইমেইল, ফটো, ম্যাপ, টু ডু লিস্ট, সিস্টেম মনিটর, ডে-নাইট ওয়ার্ল্ড ক্লক, ক্যালেন্ডার, ডিজিটাল ক্লক, জি টক, ক্যালকুলেটর, মিডিয়া প্লেয়ার, টেট্রিস গেম, রেডিও সহ মোট ১১১ টি গেজেট।

তাই ডাউনলোড করে নিন তাড়াতাড়ি, আর এটি দেখতে একদম ভিস্তার সাইডবারের মত। এটাকে সাইডবার ছাড়াও ডেস্কবার, ফ্লোটিং ডেস্কবার হিসেবে ব্যবহার করতে পারেন।

আর ডাউনলোড করুন এখান থেকে

একের মধ্যে সব – ডিগসবাই

নতুন একটি চ্যাট ক্লায়েন্ট খুঁজে পেলাম, নাম ডিগসবাই
এটি দিয়ে মেসেঞ্জার (yahoo messenger, AIM, MSN, Google talk, jabber, icq), ইমেইল (gmail, yahoo, hotmail, AOL ও pop-imap), সামাজিক সাইট (facebook, myspace ও twitter) এর একাউন্ট যুক্ত করা যায়। নতুন কোন মেইল আসলে, নতুন কেউ সাইন-ইন বা সাইন-অফ করলে এটি জানিয়ে দেয়, আবার একই সময়ে সব কটি একাউন্টে চ্যাট করা যায়।

এর ফলে একটি সফটওয়ার দিয়েই আমরা আমাদের সব কটি একাউন্টের খোঁজ খবর রাখতে পারব ও সবার সাথে চ্যাট করতে পারব। এখানে শুধু কথা বলার সুবিধা ছাড়া সব আছে। যদিও পিজিন দিয়েই এসব করা যায়, তবে এটিতে বাড়তি কয়েকটা এ্যাকাউন্ট রয়েছে, এটাই সুবিধা
