Recently, I have been addicted to chess once again since it is included in the Ubuntu 7.04 release. I just can’t stop playing even during working hours! I just love Ubuntu. It is so easy to install almost any programs you want. You need not download from any website. Most programs can be downloaded within Ubuntu. Programs in Ubuntu are either:
This is my first time upgrading Ubuntu using the Update Manager. The update was really slow!! It must be the whole world is downloading via HTTP at the same time. After more than 12 hours of updating, I am now using the latest Ubuntu - Feisty Fawn. I am still figuring out how I can install the proprietary driver for my wireless adapter. I need this badly. Where do I look for Restricted Drivers Manager in Ubuntu 7.04? Any idea?
In less than 24 hours, Ubuntu 7.04 will be released. I just can’t wait for this release as I am eager to get this laptop connected to the Wireless LAN here. This new release of Ubuntu claims to have better support for wireless connectivity. Ubuntu 7.04 was code named Feisty Fawn. Man. I fell in love with Ubuntu!
When I was living with my parents, I never had to worry about my laundry as we have a washing machine at home and my mom does the washing. Currently at home, we have an LG washing machine.
I am used to hand-wash my own clothes since my undergraduates days. The house I live in when I was a freshman did not have a washing machine. The following year, I moved to a new house where there were 2 washing machine. Both brands were National. They were left behind by my seniors and were rather old. They really looked like second-hand washing machine. However, we only used Read more »
I have installed Ubuntu operating system on my ageing PC a few months ago. Installation was a breeze and it works pretty fine until and I am excited that it is very user-friendly. I am installing Ubuntu on my laptop soon. Hopefully it doesn’t crash my other Windows partition like what happened when I installed on my PC. By the way, if you want an alternative to Windows OS, try Ubuntu today!
I have been borrowing the book “The Complete Reference C# 2.0” for months but I have yet to seriously read and get my hands dirty with some C# codes. It has been lying on this table for ages! The problem is I never like coding on the Microsoft platform. I have like coding in PHP and Java. Since my company’s software is on the Microsoft platform, I have no choice but to learn. Perhaps I should consider stop coding and blog full time while coding in Java whenever I want to.
At times when we thought nobody cares, God sends someone to brighten our day. Just awhile ago, KL and I had a brief conversation over Yahoo! Messenger. I have known her for almost 6 years now but we only meet like once a year since we graduated. I am not complaining that we don’t see each other often but I want to say Read more »
I will be seeing a friend later at 6 for dinner. It has been a long time since we really have heart to heart talk. This will be our first dinner together. =) Steamboat!!
I find it rather amusing last night. After dinner, I took a friend to 2 banks to deposit funds via cash deposit machines.
This guy was really unlucky =) Both machines were out of order. I thought he could pass me the cash and I transfer the funds using the ATM machine. Unfortunately, this hopeless guy forgot his bank account number. That inspired me and we found the account number after we enter our PIN at the ATM machine and press the “View Statement’ menu.
Our ATM machines were side by side and he read his account number aloud as I keyed into my ATM machine. I entered the amount and tadaa!! The amount was transferred. I could have charged this hopeless guy righ a processing fee right? But I was kind enough =)
