If you have been working with Eclipse 3.2 or 3.3 with flex builder 3, and if the upgrade to 3.4 broke the builder, try the following patch http://www.tekool.net/blog/2008/06/28/flex-builder-3-plugin-dont-work-with-eclipse-34/
Just download the patch from here unzip it somewhere on your desktop and copy the plugins content ( 2 jar files) to your eclipse’s plugins folder. If you have any existing files while copying good idea would be to take a backup before doing so.
Now restart eclipse with -clean option. Your flex builder should work as it used to before.
India’s first ever Developer summit held recently at IISc, Bangalore, concluded friday night with them giving out developer awards. The event was aptly titled, The Great Indian Developer Summit held between May 19th to 23rd 2008. Yes, it feels great to be recognized as a developer, more so for Indians. FOSS.in, Barcamps and this, I think am becoming a conference junkie.
Saltmarch Media, organized the event. The event was spread over 5 days based on 3 main tracks, for .Net, Web 2.0, and Java. All the talks and workshop sessions were based on the above topics. Who’s who in the respective fields had come over to present the sessions and workshops. I had a chance to interact with Jesse James, popularly called as father of Ajax, or as the person who coined the term ‘Ajax’. Also got a chance to have a picture along with him 
On the final day post the sessions, the action shifted to Palace Grounds, where a first ever Developer Awards were given out. Before the conference started, a online vote was taken for various categories including best IDE, best configuration management tool etc. The list also had a vote on the top committer to open source projects from India. Some of the names included were, Shreyas (Foss.in) and Peter Thomas(Satyam). Eventually Peter Thomas went on to win the award. Among others, Oracle tools, Eclipse, MySQL and Microsoft tools were the potential winners in different categories.
This night also marked the Thirteenth (13) year of Java, a huge cake was cut marking the entry of Java into teenage. The show was well anchored by Divya from Saltmarch with lots of fun activities for the crowd and so on. Rock bands Motherjane (Cochin based) and Bhoomi rocked the crowd with their tracks. Overall a satisfying conference experience, well co-ordinated and executed. Looking more from production team in the near future.

You can use google for your p2p searches. Use the following search string to look for any media files.
intitle:”index.of” (mp3) titanic -html -php -asp -cf -jsp
mp3 refers to the media you want as in a extension. You can also use other formats in the following fashion (mp3|avi|mpg)
titanic refers to the name of the media file. You can also give long names separated by a “.” eg:- titanic.my.heart will return sites which has My hear will go on. The “.” replaces a space . or a _ like a wild char.
-html -php -asp -cf -jsp indicates that do not list a .html or .php or other pagers.
Watch the video below for detailed explanation.
Update: To avoid typing all the “codes” use this site to do the same for u www.g2p.org, useful for doing mp3 searches.
Recently I found a fantastic python script do download videos from youtube.com. http://www.arrakis.es/~rggi3/youtube-dl/
You just need to pass the url of the video like this
$youtube-dl -t http://youtube.com/watch?v=LNY7Lau0sJw
Below is a script which can download the videos based on your search results on youtube.com.
Suppose you make a search as Shilpa Shetty Big Brother 
and you get a results page, now save this page as say results.html
Now put the below give script into a file called as youtube_download.sh and run it from the directory u saved results.html
#script to download vids from www.youtube.com
#! /bin/sh
if [ $# -lt 1 ]; then
echo "Usage: $0 filename.html |which has links from youtube.com search results"
echo "-Ajo Paul http://ajopaul.wordpress.com"
exit 1
fi
watchlink=""
for i in `cat $1 | grep "watch?" | cut -d '"' -f 2`
do
#watchlink="http://www.youtube.com"$i
if [ "$watchlink" != "$i" ]; then
echo "*********Now Downloading $i **********"
# youtube-dl -t $i 2>&1;
watchlink=$i
fi
done
echo "Done!"
echo "-Ajo Paul http://ajopaul.wordpress.com"
You can also put this script as a cronjob, but before that you must download youtube-dl and put in anywhere in your $PATH.
