The Feast of the Holy Great Sovereigns St. Constantine and Helen of Constantinople in the Bulgarian Orthodox Church

Friday, May 21st, 2010

St. Constantine and St. Helena icon

Today is the commemoration day of St. Helena (of Constantinople) and St. Emperor Constantine (I – the 1st.).St. Helena was a mother of St. Constantine who used to be an Empreror in the Romain Empire.When her son Constantine became Emperor, in the year 306.
Although she had previously been abandoned by her husband, her son raised her to a position of great honour.
As Helena was a Christian she gave her support to their cause and, in the year 326, she made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. There she provided the wherewithal to found the building of a basilica on the Mount of Olives and another at Bethlehem.
She is traditionally credited with finding the relics of the True Cross on which Christ was crucified.
We celebrate and commemorate the two saints at one date today.
Here in Bulgaria, the feast is a highly venerated one in our Bulgarian Orthodox Church.
It’s an interesting fact that it’s considered that st. Helena has found the Golgotha place (the place of Skulls / the place of the crucifix), described in the Gospels.
She is also credited for building for a first time the famous church Holy Sepulchre located in Jerusalem where the Holy Fire is descending each and every year on Easter.

It’s also really intereresting story part of the documented life of St. Constantine, who once conquered with a tiny army against a huge army, by carrying a flag with a Cross on it. The saint wasn’t christian but he saw a vision some time before the battle took place, where he saw the Sign of the Cross in the Sky along with a coming voice from heaven which told him: “With this you will conquer”. He then ordered all his army soldiers to draw a cross on their shields and he entered the battle. And he conquered just like he heard from the voice from heaven.
As a symbol of gratitude when he became an emperor he has put an end to the persecution against the Christians and the Church.
He also gave a lot of money to his mother st. Helena who build many christian temples in Jerusalem and Constantinople.
Outside the boundary of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church, the two saints has many followers membering sects and cults.
The two saints are venerated in a cult sense highly be the so called Fire-dancers. The Fire-Dancers, took some icons of the two saints from the Church they “dress up the icons” in a special dress, so that almost the whole icon of St. Constantine and Helena is covered up.
Then they pick up the icon and walk or dance over a fire place … This cult practice is mostly widespread in Strandzha
The Bulgarian Orthodox Church has led an active fight against the cults dedicated to St. Constantine and St. Helena. However after the 9th of September as the communist govern took place, the church has to discontinue the fight against the spread of the cults and struggle to preserve itself from the communist attempts to destroy it.
Let the merciful God has mercy on us after the prayers of St. Constantine & St. Helen.

Add Cyrillic Support (Bulgarian / Russian letters) to your Nokia 9300i mobile through Psiloc Crystal Cyrillic

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

Since quite some time, I’m researching on how to add Cyrillic letters support to my Nokia 9300i.
Russian language has emerged (was conveyed) some many years ago to Russia as a derivative from Bulgarian. The initial Cyrillic alphabetas hopefully we all know was created by the Saint brothers Cyril and Methodius who developed the cyrillic alphabet in the 8th century. Later on some of their invented new alphabet letters went through a development (simplification) done by the 7 pupils of the Holy brothers.
Many people are not aware that the Slavonic language e.g. the created alphabet and consequently language by st. Cyril and Methodius was prepared with the ultimate Goal to translate The Holy Bible.
Anyways let’s go back to the initial task of adding cyrillic support for Nokia 9300i.
Since Russian language is again cyrillic and contains all the cyrillic letters which are available in the Bulgarian alphabet as well.Finding any software that is able to do russification of the Nokia 9300i environment would do the trick of adding cyrillic to the Nokia.
Few months earlier I tried a couple of ways to add the slavonic cyrillic letters support for my native language Bulgarian.
One of the Softwares I tried and I couldn’t make work was called RUNokia . This bit of software was initially developed to work on Nokia 9210, so I tried it knowing that most of the applicaitons developed for the Nokia 9210 mobile platform are also compatible with Nokia 9300i’s mobile platform.
Well obviosly I was wrong, RUNokia failed to run on my Nokia for a complex reasons.
However this time I was lucky, I succeded in adding the cyrillization using the:

Psiloc Crystal Cyrillic S80 product

Here is a screenshot on how Psiloc Crystal Cyrillic localization for Nokia 9300/9500 looks like:

Nokia 9300/9500 Psiloc Crystal Cyrillic localization

To install Psiloc Crystal Cyrillic on your Mobile:

1. Download the Psiloc Crystal Cyrillic for the s80 platform

2. Transfer the the file Psiloc_CrystalCyrillic_s80.sis to your mobile through bluetooth.

– Enable the bluetooth on your mobile pressing the keys : Chr + Left Arrow Key simultaneously.

– Use your favourite bluetooth program to transfer the file to your mobile.
I personally use the Linux Bluetooth Applet to transfer the application to my mobile.

3. Install the application using Nokia 9300i’s File Manager program
– Install by pressing twice the Psiloc_CrystalCyrillic_S80.sis application program

4. Now go to your newly installed Psiloc Crystal Cyrillic program.

The program should appear whenever you have selected it to appear with the icon:
Cyrillic Psiloc iconCyrillic on Symbian

– When the Psiloc Crysatal Cyrillic on Symbian interface pops up you will have to change two values:
I. In Psiloc Crystal Menu: Enable Cyrillic on Symbian should equal Yes
II. In the Advanced menu, I recommend you change the Email Format to: UTF-8 or your desired charset

5. As a next step we’ll have to register the application
Fortunately Psiloc are providing a Free registration code, here are the concrete instructions you’ll have to follow to register the psiloc cyrillic application:
(below instructions are a quote from psiloc cyrillic website)

If you would like to get this application for FREE, please register using this license code:663542671392124 and then follow the registration procedures listed below:

1. Download and launch the application using your mobile phone.

2. Select "License" from the "Options" menu.

3. Select "Activate application."

4 Select "Activate application" (using the license code).

5. Once the prompt appears, please carefully enter your LICENSE CODE, which you will find in your order confirmation and press OK/Accept.

6. A prompt will appear asking you to connect to our server either via the Internet or via SMS to complete the registration process. Please choose one of the two options to complete the process.

7. Application is licensed.

In order to follow the aforementioned procedure you’ll either have to use an e-mail as a registration mean or use directly the Internet.
I decided to the net, So before I can register succesfully using the internet I had to connect my phone to the Internet.
The Wireless connection to a nearby wireless router was established using the Nokia embedded browser by selecting my wireless network of choice.
I advice you to approach the situation in the same way or otherwise you won’t be able to succesfully register the Psiloc Cyrillic program.
Now as a last step before a tiny box appears allowing you to change between Russian and English language, you will be askedto restart your mobile phone. Just accept the restart dialog confirmal and wait for your mobile phone to reboot.
As soon as it boots again you will be able to change between the Russian and English language key pressing Ctrl + Chr
While your mobile input is switched on to Russian charsets, expect the phone to be a bit more sluggish.
Now as you have the Cyrillic character set via the Russian language, you can use the Russian charsets to type in Bulgarian Language.
However there is one major nasty thing about it, the keyboard character order equals to a normal cyrillic Russian, keyboard. So it will take you a while before you’re adherent to the Russian cyrillic typeset.
But anyways, thing in life are not perfect, get used to that 😀

The Syriac Orthodox Church, Church brief overview, a look into Holy Qurbana (The Divine Liturgy of Saint James)

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

Syriac Orthodox Church coat of Arms

My research into ancient Church history has recently led me to a delve into the Syriac Orthodox Church , which historically is one of the most ancient (if not the most ancient) established early churches ever established by the saint Apostles.
The difference between the Syriac Orthodox Church and the other Orthodox Churches is almost unnoticable. However Syriac Orthodox Christians were able to prevent something really precious in their church liturgical life. They have prented with the years The Divine Liturgy of Saint James
In fact the Divine Liturgy of Saint James was the real reason which attracted my attention to the Orthodox Church.
I always wondered how different was the most ancient Liturgical life to the current established St. John Chrysostom liturgy.
It’s a well known fact that St. John Chrysostom has revised the earlier St. Basil (The Great) liturgy originating back to the 4th century.
Actually the st. Basil’s Divine Liturgy was widely used among the Byzantine Orthodox Christian Church and was itself based on the so called by the Syriacs Holy Qurbana or Holy Qurbono . Holy Qurbana is just a reference name for saint James liturgy which is considered to be the ancient Christian Church Liturgical veneration of the Holy Trinity.
In the present day the Divine Liturgy of Saint James is served only twice a year in the Jerusalem’s Church Holy Sepulchre and is rarely used in Eastern Orthodox world it’s also performed in The Indian Orthodox Church
The name of the Litrugy cames after st. Apostle James, who is also called the just and was said to be “brother” of our Lord Jesus.
Holy Qurbana directly translated means a Holy Sacrifice it’s an interesting fact that here in Bulgaria we also have a similar word called “Kurban”. The Kurban word in bulgarian also means a sacrifice, usually people practice giving a common meal for relatives and/or some poor people.
For the Bulgarians in the so called Kurban usually a sheep is being slaughtered, in a way similar to the old testament’s sacrifices of animals for the remission of sins, though in our case nowdays it’s not for remission of sins but for a remembrance of the Self Sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross.
Many people do that who was delivered of a sickness with God’s help or just as a thanksgiving for some kindness that God has shown a person.
Well now back to the topic of the post, when I learned about the existence of the most ancient Church liturgy still being in use I eagered to see how this liturgy. Thanksfully I received that Blessing, some good guys from the Syriac Orthodox Church has recoreded the St. James Liturgy and has put it on youtube. Here is a video in case if you want to see it as well:

In connection with the Divine Litrugy of Saint James the Jesus “brother”, who by the way is considered to be the first Orthodox Church Patriarch. So in that relation I found an interesting reading who was written on the topic on how the early Jerusalem Church in the 3rd century performed it’s Church life. You can read the Hypertext Egeria from this link . This document was written by a pilgrimage who went from Constantinople to Jerusalem to see how the Orthodox Church in Jerusalem’s life is flowing.
While reading you will definitely see the good spirit the document carries on.
We cannot skip also the greatfulness of the author for his life and his heart disposal towards God. We can only learn from this holy man on how we the believers should live and think about our lives and what kind of attitude we should possess.

Rebuilding source rpm (redhat package manager) files to binary rpms / Update clamav toaster installation on CentOS 5

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

Every now and then I have to build a binary rpm from a source rpm (src.rpm) file.

Last time I had to rebuild clamav-toaster-0.96.0-1.3.35.src.rpm because a the clamav toaster installationon one of the CentOS servers I maintin has reached an end of the supported maintance period for the previous clamav 0.94.

Of course I first had to download clamav-toaster-0.96.0-1.3.35.src.rpm .

[root@centos-server:~ ]# wget http://mirrors.qmailtoaster.net/clamav-toaster-0.96.0-1.3.35.src.rpm

Consequently I used the following command to rebuild the source rpm file into rpm binary

[root@centos-server:~ ]# rpmbuild --rebuild clamav-toaster-0.96.0-1.3.35.src.rpm

The aforementioned command will take a while it took like 5 minutes on my server.

As soon as the rpm build is completed your binary rpm installation file for clamav-toaster will be located in:

/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/clamav-toaster-0.96.0-1.3.35.x86_64.rpm

To install or update the recently built clamav-toaster rpm binary issue:

[root@centos-server:~ ]# rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/clamav-toaster-0.96.0-1.3.35.x86_64.rpm

That’s all now your outdated clamav-toaster installation should be once more up to date.
If you want to further list the content of the newly installed/updated rpm binary you will have to issue the command in your terminal:

[root@centos-server:~ ]# rpm -ql clamav-toaster

What is the Orthodox Church? A Short Overview

Monday, May 17th, 2010

I was scraping through youtube as usual, looking for some interesting videos and there it is.
I came across two really interesting videos which I believe could be an important eye opening ones to theprotestant christian brothers.
This two videos are made by some young orthodox christian devotee to show up what is the Orthodox Church and toexplain that actually Orthodox Church is chained back to the original faith in Christ handed by the Apostles.
I wish you a nice and saving watching of the videos:

1. What is the Orthodox Church? A Short Overview.

2. The Filoque in Roman Catholic Creed of Faith: An Orthodox Perspective
The below video explains how roman catholics historically changed the basis Creed of Christian faith The Nicene Creed of faith adding to it the (and the Son verse).
It’s an interesting fact that the Church fathers has earlier prohibited any modifications to the Nicene Creed of Faith, though the prohibition the Roman Catholics broke the old church rules and changed the Nicene Creed of Faith.

3. Video about Mount Athos


There is pretty much to say on the topic of Orthodox Christian Faith but I’ll stop here and let you research on your own.

How to check Linux SWAP partition disk surface

Sunday, May 16th, 2010

My Debian Linux swap partition is not mounting at boot time.I found that really odd and therefore I decided to find outif the swap partition doesn’t have some problems with the swap filesystem or the physical hard disk surface.
My first try was directly with the fsck linux command, though unsuccesful. The error I came across while trying to run fsck on my /dev/sda6 swap partition was:

fsck: fsck.swap: not found
/sbin/fsck: Error 2 while executing fsck.swap for /dev/sda6

What a set back … So I tried next issuing the badblocks command in order to physically check my physical swap partition state:

In short, if you are looking for a way to test some ext2, ext3 or reiserfs or any other linux or unix partition for bad blocks from your linux then you certainly should look at badblocks manual page.

I was lucky the result from badblocks has proven I have no physical issues with my hard drive, as you can see in below’s output generated by the badblocks’s command:

Checking blocks 0 to 1950447
Checking for bad blocks (read-only test): done
Pass completed, 0 bad blocks found.

After reading some http://linuxquestions.org forums I realized there is another way to approach the problem using few other commands as follows:

debian:~# swapoff /dev/sda6
debian:~# mke2fs -c /dev/sda6
# if there are no errors after the above 2 commands are completed then issue:
debian:~# mkswap /dev/sda6
debian:~# swapon /dev/sda6

Well I guess that’s the end of the post 🙂

Adding RSS Feed to WordPress in conjunction with FeedBurner / WordPress add-to-any-subscribe plugin

Saturday, May 15th, 2010

adding_rss_feed_to_wordpress-in-conjunction-with-Google-Feedburner-add-to-any-subscribe-plugin
I received a comment today from one of my blog readers. That he likes my blog content but he looks for a way to subscribe to my blog.
Though I had a subscription button configured in my wordpress template of choice. The button is located on place in the template that is absolutely unnoticable (at the bottom of the page). This is by the way I believe a default behaviour in case if the default wordpress plugin is used.
Thus I decided to set a clear RSS Subscription button on my blog.
Though at a first glimpse the task looked quite trivial it happened to be a way more complex!
I’ve tried a number of things before I can succeed in adding an RSS button.
The most simple though not really flexible way was through:

WordPress’s Widgets (Using the RSS Widget) .
rss default feed widget

This approach however has one major inconvenience.
Using the default wordpress RSS Widget you cannot configure the Widget to keep displaying 0 items of the feed.
In other words you cannot configure from the the sliding menu reading:
How many items would you like to display? 0 in order to prevent completely showing up of any of the feed on the page.
If you leave it with one. The RSS icon of RSS widget would point directly to your blog instead to the RSS feed configured.
So in practice configuring it especially in my case rendered completely useless.
The appearing link from the default RSS widget for some weird reason doesn’t includes a link to where my feed is located https://www.pc-freak.net/blog/feed/
In the meantime I looked online to look for something that will facilitate me in completing the simple task to add an RSS Subscribe Feed to my Blog.
I asked for help in freenode’s irc network #wordpress channel. And a guy from there suggested that I go with wp-o-matic wordpress plugin
Anyways It took me a few minutes to realize this plugin is suitabile if you want to show other blogs feed to your blog instead of adding a RSS feed link to your own blog, this wasn’t my goal so I skipped next in looking for something to help me on.
In the meantime I found the interesting feedburner google feed service that is able to help in creating, publishing and distributing RSS & Atom feeds.
I recommend you check it if you still haven’t. It takes only a few clicks to register in order to use feedburner as a feed service.
Once you are set-up with Feedburner, you can activate all the cool functions, such as allowing your readers to subscribe via email, and also the Feedburner Flares.
Another nice thing about using feedburner is that it formats your fed content in a really pretty layout. By the way since the 2004 feedburner is owned by Google. So in a certain terms using feedburner instead of the default wordpress blog feed will probably attract more google visitors to your blog and is generally good for your blog placement in search engines.
For more of the advantages check feedburner’s google service website .
However there is one major disadvantage in using the feedburner’s feed service. Using the service rob you out of control of your feed, since all the feeds will be properly generated and formatted from feedburner.
The newly created service for feedburner by me is located on www.feeds.feedburner.com/WalkingInLightWithChrist-FaithComputingDiary
Now to be able to use the newly installed feedburner service with my blog I had to test a couple of plugins before I came to the ones that really worked.
I played with feedburner_feedsmith_plugin , feedburner-widget , feedlist.2.61 , wp-keiths-easy-rss , rss-atom-avatar but I couldn’t make any of them work properly with feedburner. Some of the up mentioned plugins were a real hell to configure so I completely abandondoned them seeing their inflexibility. Others were completely abondonede for more than 2 years from now, etc. etc. Fundamentally none of them worked for me.
I finally was able to bring up the feedburner service on my worpdress using The FD Feedburner plugin

All necessery to enable the plugin after you download into wordpress’s wp-content/plugins directory is to configure the plugin from:
Plugins -> FeedBurner Configuration Here is the screenshot on the FD Feedburner plugin configuration screen:

FD Feedburner plugin

As you can see in the screenshot the plugin is really simple to configure. All you need to provide it with is the url provided to you by feedburner right after you register your blog for the service.

Now as you will have your http://www.yourwebsite.com/blog/feed/ be redirected to the feedburner’s website generated feed for your website by the FD FeedBurner WordPress Plugin all left to be done is to provide a link on your blog to your blog feed.

To accomplish this you will have to download the add-to-any-subscribe wordpress plugin.
Again installation of add-to-any-subscribe is a piece of cake, to install follow The install instructions here

Now hopefully your feedburner feed will be able to be distrubuted to your visitors via the AddtoAny subscription button on your blog.

Resolve option ‘masters’ is not allowed in ‘master’ zone

Friday, May 14th, 2010

I’ve enconuntered the error:

option ‘masters’ is not allowed in ‘master’ zone in /etc/named.conf on line 41while changing some configuration options in a bind master name server.

The cause was really dumb!
The problem consisted in a mistake in one of my zone files descipription in the named.conf.
The fraction with code which was interpreted wrong by /usr/sbin/named-checkzone looked like the following:

zone "domainname.com" {
type master;
file "/var/named/chroot/var/named/masters/domainame.com"; masters { 1.2.3.4 }; };

And to be correct the above fraction of named.conf rules should look like:

zone "domainname.com" {
type master;
file "/var/named/chroot/var/named/masters/domainname.com"; };

Hope this will be a helpful tip to somebody facing the same error.

The Ascension of Jesus Christ celebration in the Bulgarian Orthodox Church

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

The Ascension of Christ Orthodox Icon

At this day in Bulgarian Orthodox Church as well as the other Orthodox Churches around the world we celebrate the Ascension of Christ
This day is celebrated 40 days after Pascha or as also called (Eastern).
On that day 40 days after his glorious resurrection the Lord Jesus Christ has ascended and sat on the right hand of God. As the gospels testify.
Here in Bulgaria it’s a widely popular superstition for that feast.
Many people belief on that date the dead who are in heaven or hell are loosed from their either bliss in heaven or torture in hell and they can freely come very close to those who are living.
Of course all this is just mythology and doesn’t have to do nothing with the true Orthodox Christian Church belief. This superstition has left as a false belief which entered the people’s belief as a consequence from the Bogomils heresy teachings.
It’s a well known fact that at a certain period in time Bogomils sect who were characterized with rejection of all earthly things (human body, nature, food etc.) as corrupt and unggodly.
Though the general heretical teachings has been devastated and the truth by God himself with time, some of their false beliefs kept growing among the unacquainted population until this day.
On this day in Bulgaria we also have the tradition to colour chichen eggs in red just like on Eastern.
The reasons for the eggs colouring aren’t completely certain though I’ve heard from a friend this is being done as a symbol that the 40 days until the ascension has passed and it’s the end of the great days of the Lord who has been on earth in flesh 40 days after his resurrection, just like on Eastern we colour the eggs as a symbol for the resurrection.
On this day there is a tradition in Bulgaria that most people go and visit the graves of their departured beloved ones to show honour for their earthly living and remember about their live, though again this is not really a teaching of the Church but rather a human addition to what the Orthodox Church teaches.
The day of the Holy Ascension of the Lord Jesus Christ is also called All Soul’s day since all soulds are to be resurrected and be judged by God in the last day as God tought us through the teachings in the Holy Bible and his Orthodox Church.
There is a practice among some people in the Church to great themselves with “Christ has Ascended!” instead of “Hello” and on the other side the man has to answer to the greating “Truly he has Ascended!”.
It’s a really interesting recurring miracle in a near place to Obrochishte called “The Ascension of the Lord” their is a spring there that springs out water each year only on for the feast “The Ascension of the Lord” in the rest time of the year the spring is dry.
That’s a real miracle that testifies for the ascension of Christ people know that miracle recurring for many, many years.
