No I am not using UBUNTU UNR

7 February 10

(Cliccie for larger piccie)

I know that in this post I wrote that by now I would be running UNR on my Mini Dell. I’ve decided against it Photobucket For several reasons, I decided that I must refuse to use software that has a professional team of developers behind it and yet there still  isn’t an out of the box solution for an issue that has been known for at least 3 yearsPhotobucket I am not talking about a minor issue here people. Instead of focusing on a six month release schedule and inventing all kinds of “cool” names (may I add a suggestion for the next release? “Lazy Lama” Photobucket) they should focus on fixing that issue. Also, quite frankly, I like the fact that I’m using internet through a Live USB stick which means that none of my passwords and usernames are saved. If you steal Baby-Dell all you can find is some HALO pictures, my podcasts and some posts written with OOo Writer. The third reason why I’ve decided not to have UNR is that the next version of EEEBuntu (based on Debian Photobucket) will ship with some of the important plugins for Firefox already working from the Live USB stick, which means that I’ll be able to watch youtube vids (I can’t with the current Live USB stick). How cool is that Photobucket I wonder if something like this is possible with the Ubuntu Live USB stick, I wouldn’t be surprised if it weren’t Photobucket The plan for now (notice the emphasis on now Photobucket) is that if I for some reason can’t install the latest version of EEEBuntu (called EB 4), I’ll keep the current install with the broken wi-fi and use the latest version through a Live USB stick when I want to use the intern3tz. I’ll end this post with my history in Linux in a nutshell:

Knoppix

Redhat

Ubuntu

(I gave up on Linux because back then I had a USB modem, for which there wasn’t support for Linux, a lot of modems were but of course the one I owned wasn’t Photobucket There are still no Linux drivers for this modem to this day. This was in my HALO 2 period, the thing was this modem was unstable with Xbox Live, causing all kinds of trouble for me and the people I was playing with. But boy when I found out there were no drivers at all for the modem for it Linux, I stubbornly held on to it Photobucket Remember how I was ranting and raving on XBOX Live about how Linux should be all about freedom of choice etc. etc. and yet my modem was not supported. Remember how I was deaf to your guys’ arguments that I was planning on buying a new modem anyway and how I continued to cause “grief” to you all with that unstable USB modem of mine Photobucket).

Ubuntu (this time I had a laptop, which, of course, I broke a long time ago Photobucket)

Debian

Ubuntu

EEEbuntu

And still I fail at Linux Photobucket

The HALO Audiobooks

4 February 10

(cliccie for larger piccie)

It really pains me to confess this Photobucket but they are downright shit. Right after I finished listening to the Harry Potter audio books which are brilliantly read by Stephen Fry Photobucket I started on the HALO audiobooks.  What a mistake. I’m pretty sure that it is hard to measure up to Stephen Fry for any audio book reader out there. But the reader of the HALO audiobooks shouldn’t be reading books to anyone Photobucket The moment I heard Todd McLaren read “The Fall of Reach” I thought, those damn Americans, they can’t write books for shit and can’t read them either (Photobucket!)

Todd McLaren reads the HALO books in such a boring manner that you want to crush your mp3 player with a sledge hammer just to make it stop. The thing that makes it worse is that he seems to be aware of it and he tries hard to sound not boring Photobucket

Bungie and Microsoft, here is an idea Photobucket have those books reread and use the original voice actors for the characters. If Master Chief talks I want to hear him Photobucket not someone boring dude Photobucket Think about it, with the HALO franchise expanding it might be worth it to have them reread like that. While you are at it, do something about those shitty covers and the shitty quality of the books.

In the meanwhile I’m going to listen to the Harry Potter audiobooks again, if I don’t watch it I’ll become a Harry Potter expert insteadPhotobucket

Generation G

31 January 10

(cliccie for larger piccie)

I don’t know when it happened Photobucket but I’ve noticed that these days managers/bosses etc. etc. want to be called leaders. Because leaders are unlike those mentioned earlier. Inspirational, innovative, creative, they have followers, they get a Nobel Prize for trying Photobucket and they know the alphabet. Yes indeed they know the alphabet Photobucket you see before you can invent new words you need to know the alphabet first.

Last week I was listening to the radio where they were interviewing people who called themselves leaders during the programme (Photobucket), these leaders were talking about “Generation X”, a term that became commonly used after David Coupland wrote this book, then they went on about “Generation Y”. I’ve always thought “Generation Y” actually came form iPhone, iPod, ididyourmom, iPad etc. etc. And that Y happens to be the letter that comes after X was just mere coincidence. But when I heard one of those “leaders” talk about “Generation Z” I knew the alphabet was being followed Photobucket

How innovativePhotobucket! How inspirational Photobucket! How creativePhotobucket! What a leaderships skills Photobucket Just to follow the alphabet and leading us to another ravine called a crisis Photobucket

May this simple office bee make a suggestion Photobucket Let’s call the generation after Y, G, because this generation really isn’t aware that there was a time with no  Google. Yes kiddies Photobucket there was a time when t3h intern3tz was Google free Photobucket

Since Generation X came from (basically) a book and people these days would rather read (micro)BLOGS, I wrote a poem

Generation G

With a capital “G”

No, i


After “Y” there is no “Z”

but the se7enth letter

of the alphabet.


It’s all about me

G thang

G string

G Mail

We will never fail!


G,G,G

it’s the new me, me, me!


For all generations to come,

they’ll never forget I was a “G”

Because we live by the “G”

die by the “G”

With no privacy!


G is for God

G is for Me

Me = God

I can haz Nobel Price for literature naoPhotobucket

It’s time to point and laugh again

30 January 10

at me Photobucket Last Thursday when writing a post, my system broke Photobucket No, I didn’t break Baby-Dell, it was the Eeebuntu system that gave up. This dude was right when he wrote that  turning off the updates in Eeebuntu is at your own risk. My screen went black, I decided to reinstall Eeebuntu getting all the updates, yes I broke the wi-fi on purpose Photobucket I am now accessing the internet by my Live USB stick, which means that I don’t have flash. Aaaah, Linux you’ve got to love it Photobucket!

Remember my last post how I went raving and ranting on Ubuntu and its netbook remix that doesn’t have an out of the box solution for the broad com issue, even though this issue has been known for at least 3 years and Ubuntu, unlike Eeebuntu, has a professional team working on the software? Well by the end of this week I have most likely have Ubuntu UNR running on my Mini Dell PhotobucketPeople who have known me since my first BLOG must wonder why I still bother with Linux Photobucket(that BLOG was all about living with hell, living with Linux Photobucket)
