Promise

Well today i made a promise to myself. I decided to buy myself a new beauty and i hope my girl friend wouldnt mind but this thing is really hot. To cut it short i am obsessed with Yamaha R1 and i have decided to buy it as soon as i can afford it and the next picture i put on my orkut account is gonna be me on that bike.

Ubuntu and Beryl-- Sweeter than i imagined

Well recently i finally decided to switch to Ubuntu as my "Navigator" in the ocean of my computing machines. Not that i had any issues with windows but i was certain of the fact that this way i shall learn more about operating systems and practical issues related to them. Windows always left me confused with the error and warning messages it gave but then the majority of Microsoft Windows's target audience is not a computer science graduate student so i agree with their dilemna.

And boy oh boy i am glad i made the switch UBUNTU is as fantastic as an operating system can get. It gives you all the choices to be as light you want to be on your overheads towards software or be stringent and finicky about your box. Package Managers are fantastic concepts and i love that about linux a lot. Also its like way too easy to google stuff about ubuntu with its own wiki system and the active community out there. I still am struggling with making some of my gadgets work flawlessly with UBUNTU but with each new gadget i learn like ten new things so i am not complaining about the overhead.

BERYL was a big motivation to switch. BERYL is as sweet as my girlfriend buying me a DUCATI for my 60th birthday. It works like a charm of course after u have learned how to tame the tiger and the taming does take some time with all the features and options it gives.

Here are some screenshots from my current desktop

The rain effect

The desktop cube


More Cubing



Desktop Snapshot kinda thing, all open applications being displayed


Thats the popular "BURN" animation ,happens with every minimize action.I love this one a lot.

BURN again


Fade Effect--happens with every close action..its like windows fade out of the view when i close them.

And if you see beryl videos you would be shell shokced with its powers. Its really a DUCATI(sweet and strong) for the desktop world.

The Best Days of my Life

Nothing in my life seems to be going according to the PLAN. Long story told short nothing in my life is as i would like it to be right now. I am broke, do not have an internship, i am homesick, my results are not proportional to my efforts, and above all my health is deteriorating for the lack of good food and of course exercise.

And yet each morning (ok noon and sometimes evening) i wake up and i hope to make it better somehow. Each day i think of doing several things that could improve my life on some of these fronts. So i say to myself what else could i ask for from life. I am in the best spirits possible for a human being. Fight till your last breath for each day is a new battle, you shall loose some but if you fight hard enough you shall win too. Even if you dont win you shall always have the satisfaction of trying hard and to the best of your potential.

Hope to write some good news some time in the near future.

Happy and willing to be more happy ...
