Configure QuickBuild in KILE

While using kile I had a tough time pressing
alt+2 (latex)
alt+4 (dvi2ps)
alt+8 (ps2pdf)
in the given order for good compiling and then going on to open adobe or document viewer to view my pdf document.
I figured out that Configuring Kile QuickBuild option will do the trick to do the above steps automatically in sequence.

Kile-> Settings -> Configure Kile
In the window that opens up, open Build under the Tools tab.
In this, select the commands under Tool drop down list in the desired order.

In order to enable the Viewpdf option you may have to install the ocular pdf viewer.

Njoy!

Passwords with special characters like & / etc while setting proxy in ubuntu

While using terminal in ubuntu, there arise situations where u need to type out your passwords.
URL encode your password to use them.

For example: Lets your password be 123@123
to use in
http_proxy="username:password@10.106.80:80"
URL encode the password as

123%40123

as the URL encoding of @ is %40
URL encoding of other characters can be obtained from
