i feel Debianised....!!!

On 15th august our proud Independence Day, i did a bit of my own freedom thing ..

i loaded Debian on my PC as my primary OS to the windoze which i don't care about nowadays except for idiotic VB which i have to study as its in my syllabus...

so i did load it before the day .. Birthday of Debian ...16th august ....15 years of total freedom..!!

though i had used Ubuntu before and i had a nice practice of using Linux but due to the human tendency to do a lots of unwanted things together ...i did mess up...a little bit ..not much..!

but The king helped...and i thank him for that..!

and there was Google too....

now i am a proud user of Debian and wish to contribute to the community as much as possible

and i think its time to brush aside windoze from my desktop

so enjoy your freedom too..and do things your way..!..

guidance from a genius

On 3rd August Sunday ,my college..Viva College,Virar had arranged a seminar for the guidance for the internship projects which we have in our syllabus for the Final year

The guest/speaker/mentor were Mr.Nirav Mehta whom i have been i fan of from many days now...

A truly inspiring personality he made his mark from the first moment

Though a few problems occurred in the beginning what followed was amazing

Nirav sir has been one of the top speakers on technology and more in India and he showed us how..!

Various topics were discussed and disected during the three hour experience ..


Feedback was overwhelming and almost everyone left with thoughts and ideas for their internship projects.

his sideshow is available here

race till the end...?...

a few hours back i watched a video of a girl who attended the UN conference in 1992.. and silenced the members for 5 long minutes....

she spoke every child's mind..she spoke every living being's mind....

"is this the end.."...
i have not been the one who thinks a lot about environment and all the things....but those 5 minutes now have made me think...

thinking..is that all we can do...?
do we want this race to be till the end....?

here is the video..please don't just watch it..

FIREFOX T-SHIRT

anyone interested can contact him or me

cheers..!!!

what an experience....!!!

yesterday was an exciting day...
not because Chelsea beat Liverpool but the reason for me was installing Ubuntu 8.04 and Debian...in my PC....

it took around 90 mins to install both and then it was an experience to cherish...i had broken the walls of windows(!!)...and entered the open air...

last time the desktop cube wasn't supportive my hardware graphics config. but i think they have sorted it out...now the Cube works fine....next was media...

Ubuntu 8.04 does not have VLC media player installed so had to fix that up through repository...

now everything...is just smooth...now i have a TRI-boot with Debian,Ubuntu
& Windoze ...had to keep it until others at home get hang of Ubuntu...they are still windowed... as we call it...

learning in open air is so much better than learning behind closed windows...
here is a screen shot...

Ubuntu 8.04 released...

Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy heron) LTS was released last week....

i have Ubuntu 7.10 installed in my PC with a windows dual boot..and i will be updating to the new Ubuntu...8.04...soon..

desperate to try the new Wubi installation process of Ubuntu..hope it does not reduce my drives performance.....!!!

Tried Kubuntu with Kde4 desktop also...gave my copy to my younger brother so he could start learning a few things....

Aamod my college buddy has finished downloading the new version of Ubuntu...i had also stated the download but he thinks i have Bandwidth issues and the download may get corrupted....you will find a reply about this in the comments...!!!!

waiting for my DVD of Ubuntu to arrive ......

you can check out the link for your download..here
