Online Compile Tool for Linux

nowadays thanks to Ahamadi nejad's government I no longer have ADSL internet, and I am stuck to Dial up internet and back to dial up modems.

to be honest linux really sucks in supporting dial up modems, I had a Zoltrix modem and I had struggled for years to make it work and it never happened .

well an evil website is selling the restricted drivers for lots of money (I hate that guy who sells the driver)

I bought another modem (a D-link ), after lots of compiling drivers , I connected to intenret but my pc crushed every 5 minutes .

so I bought 'another' modem (a Motorola) and it is not working either, whatever...

while having no internet on Linux , I had to use windows to download drivers ,
and it is a pain in the a** to swtich to ubuntu to compile drivers because each driver has much dependencies which I have to donwload from internet which means I have to switch to windows like 10 times for each compile .

now I am thinking I wish there was an online website , which they already installed all dependencies (like Libc, gc++, ... and everything) and people could upload their source and get the compiled version for their own machine and their own distro .

wouldn't it be great ?

I wish someone does it , if someone is gonna do it, please mention it was my idea ;)

There is somethign about Google which I dislike

I have been one of the google's fans since ever,
and it is intresting that whatever else which I have liked, Google bought them eventualy (blogger, youtube, orkut...) . I use almost all google services .

before google makes its united login system, we used to had diffrent logins for diffrent services.
one email for Google Adsense
one email for orkut
one for Blogger ( I had two blogger account one for personal and one for group blogs)
for security reasons I didnt use the same email for my adsense and blogger acount .

but now it is a few years which goole makes united login system and it is very painfull for me , because I have to keep on logining in and out .

for exmaple I wanna check my google adsense, I login m1@gmail.com
then I wanna post in blogger I should loging to m2@gmail.com
then I wanna check my email so I have to login to m3@gmail.com
then I wanna see my iGoogle page , I have to change back to m5@gmail.com

now imagine I wanna check my email and post into blogger at the same time...gosh it is painfull , it is really painfull and sometimes I miss my infromation -compsing email or post-

I just wish there was a tool or something which would let me login to all my google accounts at the same time . (without being forced to log out from one )
or I wish there was a tool which you could integrate your google stuff into one account .

and you know peopel change their email address every 2-3 years because of spam or security or ... so it is not my exceptional problem , I am sure much peopel have diffrent logins for Gmail and Blogger and Adsesne .

well I hope that Google guys will listen me and do something about it.

BTW I was away from this blog for like a century , it is because I moved my house to another place and I have to use dail up internet and it is pain in the a** . so I had lost my motivation to post .

# P.S :
Alex Chitu recommends using this greasemonkey script which replaces "Sign Out" link on Google pages with a select box of accounts.

# P.S2:
I like to know what Philipp Lenssen says about this .

Agave - a must have tool for ubuntu web designers

In these days I am doing my exams and also working on several serious articles for ubuntu (so be in touch !) but I have come up with a quick update, a necessary color tool for web designers under ubuntu.

Have you ever seen a nicely colored web page, and wondered about the web designer? Whether or not he sat down and thought about what colors would correlate and create harmony?



Agave is a great color scheme generator for your web pages programs or even your house's room, there you choose a color and it gives you all colors in harmony with it and you can ask it to give you brighter or darker set of same color.

Generate Random Color - Get Inspiration

It is so useful, sometimes you are out of idea, and need some inspiration, so just generate random set of colors (with ctr+R) until you feel you like it , you can 'bookmark' the color schemes to your 'favourites' .

Get the Code
After choosing your color, you can get the RGB CODE to use in html just by right clicking on the color and copying it. (no web designer memorizes color codes)

More :


as you see you can choose colors from
Gnome colors (Be in harmony with gnome's default colors)

Web-safe colors (some colors appear differently on different browsers, they are not web safe colors . )


Install it by this command :

sudo apt-get install agave
