    New PC at work


    Hello Everyboday,

    Yesterday I gave up my-peice-of junk computer and got a new one at work. You see 2 years ago, the organization that I worked for got screwed in an IBM thinkpad desktop deal. Now they have to replace them. That's why they call it thinkpad , you have to THINK , and THINK AGIAN before you buy it.

    I'm talking about normal human being thinking , not like some of my american friends put it. When an american wants to express his opinion about something (and they normally do) , it normally goes " I think.... ". And when an american goes "I think" you better hold on tight , cuz something REALLY stupid is gonna come out. Sorry about that guys just kidding, but you often express your opinions on issues you are completly oblivious to. I hate to gererlize, but it generlization and stereotyping is a vhiecle of comedy , SO LIVE WITH IT ! .

    Anyways , I traded my office computer for an HP. Which is way much better but still half the machine that I have at home (I had to brag about it). The new HP comes with a Windows Vista. Anyways I didnt even give it a chance to boot up with it. I shoved in my EduBuntu DVD and installed a REAL operating system...

    Work hours are over , got to go.

    These are some screenshots from my desktop. I Love this 3d desktop thing. Note the reflection.

    What's Keeping him away ??



    Hello Everyone,

    I actually had people asking me why I didnt blog for a while. I'll tell you what holding me. I think I developed some kind of addiction. 
    It all happend When I stumbled on Ubuntu.

    You know its not my first time trying to ditch Microsoft and run for Linux. but it was hard. You see, untill Ubuntu came out, Linux wasnt that good for human consumption (even with Mandrake trying thier best). Anywho , its really going out of hand. I mean I'm the kind of guy that sneaks out of work so often. But now I'm the first to come and the last to leave. this has been going on for more than a month. I even cought myself a couple of times comming in the evening. See ! the problem wasnt me it was Windows.

    You see the best thing about Ubuntu is simplicity. Hell,  I havent seen anything that easy since Mac came out. Yes ! its as easy as Mac. And the best thing about it is that you dont have to buy a computer for it nor have to install it on your computer. You download a LIVE-CD version and it runs without instilation. Just pop it in your computerand hit the power button and you are already running Linux.

    I wouldnt go into the classic "Why switch to Linux ?"question. You probably are already sick of windows , or you have a problem with Vista being to heavey and to uneffeciant. With Linux no viruses , its free , more stable  , more secure ....etc

    However, What I'm about to show you is What does Linux has to offer more than any other system..

    If you like the effects on Vista you would probably LOVE linux:

    Just search for Ubuntu or Beryl on YouTube and you'll know what I mean.

    Anyways, If you want to give it a try I recommend Ubuntu Linux

    You can Download it from Here

    By the way I'm writing this blog using ScribeFire on Linux EduBuntu
