Image transferring on Ubuntu 9.10 - gPhoto2 as Nikon Transfer

When dealing with multimedia devices Ubuntu becomes a nightmare as most of the devices does not offer you the Ubuntu compatibility. The story was the same for my Nikon Digital Camera transfer tools. I badly wanted to transfer images from my camera to my computer and found out that Ubuntu doesn't allow me to transfer the images.


Finally gPhoto2 came to save me and it is a nice tool that allows you to transfer all your images from your cam to pc. This is what I did.

  • Install gphoto2. (simply use the package manager)
  • Unmount the device(camera) if mounted automatically.
  • Open a terminal and go to the location that you want to store the images.
  • Then do : gphoto2 --get-all-files
  • For more information do : gphoto2 --usage
That's all. By the way.. I know this is not a very user friendly way but after all as an Ubuntu user.. this is not an alien thing to use command line to transfer images :).

Understanding Reactor Pattern with Java NIO

Why non-blocking IO A typical server application, such as a web server, needs to process thousands of request concurrently. Therefore, the modern web server needs to meet the following requirements. Handling of thousands of connections simultaneously (significant number of connections may be in idle state as well) Handling high latency connections Request/response handling needs to be decoupled Minimize latency, maximize throughput and avoiding unnecessary CPU cycles Hence, to cater to such requirements, there can be several possibilities in the server application architecture. Having a pool of sockets for each client, and periodically polling them: This is the most straightforward approach; however, it is more or less impractical without non-blocking sockets. This is extremely inefficient and never scales with the increasing number of connections. Thread per socket: This is the conventional approach and was initially used in some applications and this is the only practical solution wi...

A new journey.. A new working place.. WSO2 Inc.

I guess switching blogs is less riskier than switching jobs. Anyway I had to take that risk of switching jobs in last month (12/2009) as I've joined WSO2 as a Senior Software Engineer. My very first job lasted only one and half years owing to various issues I had with the type of work I got during my first employment. However it was a good experience on some rare technologies like Search Engines and Indexing.. and not forgetting C++. Now.. the context has changed.. technologies has changed.. environment has changed... So I believe it's a whole new experience to me to work for WSO2 , which is a renowned Open Source SOA Company. These are my first few steps in the world of SOA and Web Services...
