Share a directory with windows using samba to everybody in the local network

Samba is a free software implementation of the SMB/CIFS networking protocol, originally developed by Andrew Tridgell. it alows people to share files between  Linux machine and Window Machine.

To install samba run tis command:

sudo apt-get install samba

-First let's make sure only your local network can access samba service. Open and edit /etc/samba/smb.conf

interfaces = lo eth0
bind interfaces only = true

lo an eth0 should your network interfaces name run (ifconfig) to get the right names.

-To share a directory with everybody withour login/password: change security to share instead of user than enable guest account:
security = share

guest account = nobody

-Now, you can create a share to be accessible to users:

[public]
    comment = this folder is accessible by everybody
    path = /tmp #path the dir to share
    browseable = yes
    read only = yes
    guest ok = yes
To allow people to write to directory change  read only to no and add the folowing
writable=yes
You can test you configuration using the command
$testparm
If everything is fine, reload samba service to have your new configuration taken into account:
#ubuntu
$sudo /etc/init.d/samba reload
or
$sudo reload samba
#debian
$/etc/init.d/smbd reload
Or just
$reload smbd
That's all, anybody in your local network have now access to the folder /tmp.

Free stemming API

Assalamualaikum / Hello / Hola / Bonjour,

It's been a while since my last article here, today i'm coming with something really interesting and very useful, i was looking for in while, an api that regroup many stemming algorithms , it support all languages and you can use it just using curl. you give it the word the language an the algorithm and you get the step like magic, and what's very cool is that all algorithms are open source  wow that's really cool! yea you can download it and change it if necessary than use it, isn't cool?
What?
Well if you don't know what the stemming is let me give a short definition: It's the process of reducing a word to it's origin(base) word called stem, it's used in search engine and dictionary.

'play', 'playing' and  'plays' for example have one common base word witch is  'play': more details are http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stemming

You can find the API in this link : http://text-processing.com/docs/stem.html
and here is an example of using it in php:
ps: Of course you need to have curl installed

<?php
function get_stem_word($parameters) {
    $curl = curl_init();

    $header[0] = "Accept: text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,";
    $header[0] .= "text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5";
    $header[] = "Cache-Control: max-age=0";
    $header[] = "Connection: keep-alive";
    $header[] = "Keep-Alive: 300";
    $header[] = "Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7";
    $header[] = "Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5";

    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://text-processing.com/api/stem/');
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.google.com/bot.html)');
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_REFERER, 'http://www.google.com');
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($parameters));
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_ENCODING, 'gzip,deflate');
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER, true);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);

    $result = curl_exec($curl); // execute the curl command
    curl_close($curl); // close the curl connection

    return json_decode($result);
}

$stem_object = get_stem_word(array('text'=>'playing', 'language'=>'english','stemmer'=>'porter'));
$stem = $stem_object->text;
echo $stem;

Parameters:

    text : The word you want it's stem, required;

    language: The laguage of the word, Optional, The default value is english;

    stemmer: the stemming algorithm, Optional,  The default value is porter.
