I just found a new feature of gmail via notification. The pop up says that Gmail now introduce a SMS feature on the web. I’d like to share about free SMS on gmail Account. Gmail had a feature to send SMS to your Gmail contact list. Thanks Google, to makes life easier. To try the feature we can do the step as follow :

1. add contact to your contact list
2. type the name of your contact person on Chat and SMS textfield
3. on chat box type messages then Enter. Viola

There is a rule for this kind of SMS feature. There is a credit message for each contact person. When you send a message, the credit (Messages remaining) would be decrase by 1. But if you receive a messege from your contact person, your credit would be increase. In case your SMS credit goes down to zero at any point, it will increase back up to one 24 hours later. So, you won’t ever be locked out of the system.

Enjoy the feature

1. Grab a ffmpeg from repositories. Open terminal and type code below.
   sudo apt-get install ecasound mpg123 lame ffmpeg
2. Prepare your flv file for example your file at /home/[username]/video. At this example ‘/desu’ is my username.
   ffmpeg -i /home/desu/video/video.flv -ac 2 -ar 44100 -ab 320 /home/desu/music/audio.mp3
3. Then you got the .mp3 file automagically. Well Done!

I just wanna share my little story. At that time, I’ve got notification on my machine (yes Ubuntu) that there is a new kernel update. But when I select and click on Install button from update manager, the dialog box was showed with message about /boot space size issue. Ups… I couldn’t update my machine. Spending a little time to browse then found this link.

It is because I had updated my machine 5 times already, so my /boot (100MB) folder already full with a bunch of files. What I need is to clean up and erase unnecessary kernel. What I do to fix the issue are as follows :

1. I check current kernel by this line of code
uname -a; dpkg -l | grep linux-image

My current kernel

2. I need to delete unnecessary (previous) kernel on my machine. Then I created my code like below :

sudo apt-get --purge linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic linux-image-2.6.32-25-generic linux-image-2.6.32-26-generic;
sudo dpkg -P linux-image-2.6.32-21-generic;
sudo apt-get --purge autoremove;
sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -f install;
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade;
sudo apt-get clean


3. Well done, the latest kernel already install. Yippeee
