find /tmp -type f -mtime +5 -exec rm -f {} \;
find /var/tmp -type f -mtime +30 -exec rm -f {} \;

try that instead

There’s bunch of ways for doing this in a safer manner.

use su – root sometimes executing files does odd things when u just use su.

I’ve been wondering since few days that what should be the name of my organization, after I recently came out of Blog Design Studio. Earlier I thought of the name HostWP, although that really didn’t cover everything that I could offer as services.

However, recently the name WebPlan.in struck my head and instantly I booked the domain and currently building the website. By the time we’ll complete it – i wanted to market the web design & development services in gurgaon, so I’ve created this presentation and have shared it on SlideShare.

What is WebPlan.in

It’s an agency that offers web design services specially in Delhi/NCR area and around the world. Our platform for website development is WordPress and even if we are building e-commerce websites, we only focus on using WordPress. This presentation explains that why we chose WordPress over all the available content management systems.

The name WebPlan.in kind of expresses that We help businesses plan their marketing on the web. Our mission is to become one of the biggest names in the WordPress community. We’ve also launched PhotoPress.in, which currently is going development under the banner of WebPlan.in

The new journey begins after Blog Design Studio and I’m already loving the way i’m going forward. Hopefully I’d be sharing more in future … for now… Adios!

It was a small moment at the WordPress DC Meetup. One of the creators of WordPress, Matt Mullenweg, was in town. He had come to this monthly meeting at Fathom Creative to learn what the local community wanted in the next version of his web publishing software.

The media library in WordPress was discussed. Mullenweg admitted that it is confusing and gets difficult to manage once you have lots of images in the library. A man in the audience brought up a technical issue he had with the library. Mullenweg explained that you could actually do what the man wanted to in WordPress but stated:

The software is wrong, not the people. via – Joeflood

Indeed, Matt could have told the person the right way of doing it, instead he chose to say this statement! This is truly humble and shows his passion to make WordPress the best CMS in the world that people can use in the easiest ways. I say humble because WordPress is already the best CMS & easiest as well!

I must admit that Matt is indeed a true genius! When, I first met him @ WordCamp India, I was completely awed and couldn’t really have meaningful conversations with him about WordPress — I kind of feel sorry for that, however I hope that if I get to meet him again, then hopefully it’ll be more interesting

I’m no programmer and have no intention of having any sorts of heated discussion with those who “live & die” by .NET [i'm not even talking about you... read on to understand what I'm trying to say]. David Barrett in his post “Why we don’t hire .NET programmers” has expressed exactly the same thing that I felt while taking the interviews. You can say that I’ve developed a disliking for .NET just because every other guy wants to learn it and start coding even though they aren’t passionate enough. Fuck passion! they want to learn it just because some guy told them to learn .NET as it’ll help them get a job! Unfortunately! they do get a job! The guys coming for interview said only two things -

1. I know .NET
2. I want to learn .NET [even guys applying for the position of designer & network admin]

When we asked them “Why .NET & no other language?” They were as silent as Indian cricket fans who saw Indian lineup crumbling down against South Africa & West Indies’ bowling attack in Cricket World Cup. Some even said “It’ll help me get a job”. Why?, Java, PHP, Ruby and other open languages… can’t these languages get them jobs? Some even didn’t know that what PHP is, I wonder that what kind of programmers are they, even though they have a Facebook account, they don’t know that its running on PHP.

Thanks to various institutes like NIIT, almost 80-90% engineering colleges and millions of parents who want to die in peace once they see their raj dulara/dulari write few lines of code as able-bodied computer engineers [i'm sure various computer engineers from Uttar Pradesh will agree to that -- for you to understand this statement, you'll have to understand the psycy of Indian parents & specially parents from UP -- btw, i have roots from UP too, I'm no racist!], India is producing “amazing robo coders” who’ll just do what they are taught [by someone who learned the language in the same institute] and won’t choose to use their brains. I guess its because it wasn’t programmed in .NET for them!

I’m sure .NET is a powerful language but it’s no good if one just mugs it up, one has to be passionate to learn things and it stands true for every other computer language, heck! it stands true for everything in life! Coming to the consequences of having such wonderful .NET programmers -

Since the people mugging it aren’t technically & logically sound, they end up making crappy software which in turn strengthens India’s image as “low or bad quality service providers”. If things will keep on rolling like this, I’m sure India won’t be the obvious choice for various companies that plan to outsource their development work & rest you all can imagine, it’s not a post about outsourcing.

I just hope that colleges in India decide to take up other open technologies and start to teach good lessons on entrepreneurship as well, only then I guess things will start to look a little better & sane.

Shridhar to Satyam -

Lets say, God gives you power to make a girl and as we all know, greater powers come with greater responsibilities clauses*… God puts a cap to the power that the amount of time you are going to spend in building the girl will be directly proportional to her beauty. Now, I’ve a question for you – How much time will you be spending to build that girl?

I tweeted the other day that it took me way too long to find out what the really important stuff in life is. And I mean every word of that. It took me six years of marriage to figure this one out. I said God was first, but he really wasn’t. I said Jasmine was second, but she really wasn’t. Just because you say how you feel or say what you care about doesn’t mean that you actually feel that way. Your actions say a lot for sure. How much time you spend with that person or consumed in that activity also says a lot about your priorities, too. I’m not saying all of this because I think that I’m an expert or anything. I would just like to challenge you to re-evaluate your priorities like I did to make sure they are all where they should be. We could all learn something from each other for sure.

I guess what Adam has said is perfectly right! Few days back, Sunny had said the same words. It really doesn’t matter that what you think. What matters the most is that what your actions convey!

I thought of writing this post because just now I was watching IBN7 and it felt like I was watching fucking India TV or Aaj Tak…. nuff said!!!
