Evolution email client over Ubuntu

Since I am expecting that you would be spending more time over your Ubuntu machine, than on Windows, therefore if you were an Outlook savvy person like me, you cannot live without Evolution 2.28.1 on Ubuntu 9.10. 

Ubuntu comes with a default Email client named Evolution. Evolution cannot connect with MS Exchange Sever 2007. By default Evolution will never let you connect to MS Exchange Server 2007 with "Exchange Server" selected as Server Type during Account creation wizard at the start of Evolution. Moreover if you select "Exchange Server" it takes OWA path which is the web interface for Exchange Server. So you would be expecting authentication failure with the error message about Exchange connector.

The solution is to install "evolution-mapi" from System->Administration->Synaptic Packager Manager. If this would still not solve your problem as it did with me, than you need to install the latest stable version of evolution-mapi manually from http://projects.gnome.org/evolution/download.shtml. 

Now the entries for new account creation should be as below:
Server: acme.com
Username: your user name without @acme.com
Domain: whatever suites you

Press authenticate and you are through.

Enjoy Evolution over Ubuntu.

Imote2 with Camera setup IMB400 over Ubuntu 9.10/10.04

Imote2 Camera driver for TinyOS is available in contribution directory of  TinyOS 2.x . It goes by the name of  tinyos-2.x-contrib . Its location within is  tinyos-2.x-contrib/intelmote2/apps I am assuming that you have tinyos-2.1.1 installed, this is required to have Camera Driver build. If you dont have it installed... than better have it done by invoking: apt-get install tinyos-2.1.1 From here on to get the driver working,  the procedure is as follows: Browse to opt directory. cd /opt The recommended way to get the source of tinyos-2.x and tinyos-2.x-contribis is through CVS. echo "Getting TinyOS 2.x and TinyOS 2.x-contrib from CVS" echo "Press enter when asked for password." cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@tinyos.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tinyos login cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@tinyos.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tinyos co -P tinyos-2.x cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@tinyos.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tinyos co -P tinyos-2.x-contrib --OR--  echo "

Tensorflow - Simplest Gradient Descent using GradientDescentOptimizer

Below is the code to find the minimum possible value of weight (w) such that the outcome of equation is closest to 0, using Gradient Descent method. These weights are multiplied with input (x) to compute cost, thus minimizing it. The equation is below... w 2 - 10 w + 25 ---------------------- (i) i.e. ( w - 5 ) 2 Thus, the coefficients from (i) would be 1, -10 and 25 import numpy as np import tensorflow as tf coefficients = np.array([[ 1 ], [ - 10 ], [ 25 ]]) # try 1, -20, 100 -- line 4 w = tf.Variable([ 0 ], dtype = tf.float32) x = tf.placeholder(tf.float32, [ 3 , 1 ]) cost = (x[ 0 ][ 0 ] * w ** 2 ) + (x[ 1 ][ 0 ] * w) + x[ 2 ][ 0 ] # (w-5)^2 train = tf.train.GradientDescentOptimizer( 0.01 ).minimize(cost) init = tf.global_variables_initializer() with tf.Session() as session: session.run(init) print (session.run(w)) for i in range ( 1000 ): session.run(train, feed_dict = {x:coefficients}) print (session.run(w)) T
