this is taking on my nerves now i have tried adding google adsense in my wordpress sidebar for long and every time i place the script in the text option and save it just vanishes. 
any idea about how to get this done ? i dont have my own domain and use the free wordpress blog service.
i tried adding it in the body of this post also no success !
I accept the fact that linux is a brilliant and a very promising platform for every day use ! but I often find it very hard to use it for my elementary C programming needs . I use UBUNTU 8.04 and gcc for compiling my C programs.Also I do understand the fact that GCC is not giving me problems ( which many people donot understand ;-P) it is the header files. I am used to many outdated header files like CONIO.H and DOS.H , Graphics.H and ironically it is still being taught in college . Surfing around the web got me some solutions and a set of new problems (what the heck !!)
1.Use ncurses.h instead of conio.h for most of my needs i.e getch() etc !
2.Dos.h is obsolete because it was for single user OS and is not suitable for an Multiuser, Multiprocessing OS like LINUX.
3.Graphics.h is obsolete and we are encouraged to use GTK and other APIs for graphics programming which are far more capalbe.
PROBLEMS
1.well not as many as solutions but i cannot find ncurses.h in my installation CAN ANYBODY PLEASE HELP ME OUT WITH THIS !!
well that was my “SUKH DUKH ki BATEIN” and hope i get some solutions to them.
IF you happen to have any solutions please leave entries at my guest book
well i also found this article to be a bit of help

There have been many times with me, and i suppose it might have happend to you too, when i wanted to learn a programming language without having to spend bucks on buying books ! (i guess i was acting a bit stingy ;-P)well i did find many sites where there were PDFs or web tutorials but recently in slashdot i read a post which lead me to Appjet’s website where they were offering a Very Interactive tutorial of JAVASCRIPT, I actually tried it out and must comment that there offering is a very nicely thought out one, because of the following reasons:
1.Experimenting with your code while learning , with the inbuilt code window.
(really nice addition)
2.They have a very well structured lesson plan ! keeping in mind that the viewer will be anabsoulute beginner.
3.They provide an online IDE which is quite capable ! and very useful.
4.Also they have capabilities of server-side scripting all at one place.
5.They also provide online hosting upto 10MB and likely to increase ! which is indeed quite promising.
6.You can download the apps you have written and host them yourself if you actually want to !!
well that was a small review of a very promising service which has a lot of potential in the future . PROVIDED they dont make any strategically stupid decisions ! like going completely closed source !
bye for now !
