Linux testing with office stuffs

Another week of testing has completed.  I have found success rate of 95%.  It was a fun-loving work for me.  Installation of Linux was not a rocket science, but make my office application work well, is some what similar to rocket science.  Thanks to Google and Ubuntu communities; helped a lot to do many changes.   One of the major problem I still faces, using the Linux email client with cache mode.  I don't want to waste my disk space using this.  But there is no other client supports non-cache mode with Exchange server; except Microsoft technology.  To over-come this, I had to install Office applications for Linux.  But the response of Microsoft Outlook from Linux is very very slow than from Windows.  I think, Microsoft still hate Linux like anything.  All applications are fast running on this 1GB memory Core Duo system; except Microsoft stuffs.  All my client servers are connecting via SOCKS.  I was worrying how ...

Testing Linux latest releases

Last one week, I was breaking my head on testing different flavors of Linux.  I opted best desktop version Ubuntu Lucid Lynx and best laptop version Open SUSE 11.2.  My installation set-up was on HP Pavilion tx 2000 Entertainment PC.  It's configuration consists of AMD Athlon X2 64-bit with nVIDIA GeForce graphic controllers, 2GB RAM, 150 GB HDD, Broadcom BCM4312 WLAN card with web-cam and other stuffs like finger print reader etc. Started testing from Open SUSE.  First installed its KDE version.  This is the best interface I saw and very coolest environment.  First I attracted with the "sysinfo" option on the window, when I clicks.  It reveals the graphical display of my HDD usage, system details and much more.  Another plus I found on it is the LVM part ( I am too keen on it ).  The LVM works well on it and I used only 60GB out of my 150 for all the purpose and kept aside the rest of the space for future use.  This is fantastic option...

My experiments

Let me share some of experiments.  The biggest ever experiment in our life is marriage.  But I am not going tell anything about that now.  Let it be there; that experiment never going to be end till our death.  Some lucky fellows gets only one time to experience it; other unlucky may try more than once.  It's the story of life.  Let it be there. Yesterday, I had night duty.  This month's last night duty.  I had enjoyed yesterday's night duty very well, since I forgot to bring my head phone.  If it had with me, then I would have been lazy to work after a while.  So, I enjoyed till the last minute yesterday at office.  Eppokalypse ( Our bus driver's nick name - It means always tempered in Malayalam) came late to pick us and by the time reached KL Sentral was around 8:30am.  Went with my friend "Ikka" to Restaurant Vishaalaachi to have 2 "veettu dosai", one vadai and a "teh tarik".  After eating this "heavy" break fast ( for...

Tension - A modern accessory of life

"For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Luke 12:34 Where are we heading to? Do we ever ask this question to our self ? I believe, most are in the race track of achieving something for their world life, not for eternal life. Couple of days ago, I had a conversation with one of my good friend. I know her from my studies. Whenever we meet or talk she always says, tension; but the word doesn't imply that meaning, what she express. But that day when I spoke to her, I really felt that meaning what she says. Earlier, when she says "tension", there was a joy in her heart. Now, she lost that and started to eat the real tension life. This made me to think about our life; what and where we leading? Those good old days, there was no word of tension heard from anybody. Now, look at your surroundings, all are running for something and attracting the tension life. What is the benefit from this? Nothing, just increasing something heavy...

Disgusting Police act

It is an extremely disappointed act by Malaysian Police, who are "supposed" to support the person in need. The incident is taken place at my friend's house who is staying in Taman Desa. His bag with office notebook and important stuffs are stolen around early morning 3:00 am. He complained at nearest police station. The police should at least visit the place and should take some step of investigation. Here the "well-known habit of malaysians" shown. Instead of visiting the place, he rang up my friend. Here are few part of that conversion. Police: "Are you a malaysian ?" Friend: "No" Police: " Do you know malay?" Friend: "No" Police: "Why don't you know malay?" Friend: "I am a foreigner, who works here. I know English, my national language and my mother tongue. Can we continue in english?" Police: " Why don't you know malay?" It seems like ( not seems ), he is not int...

Fear of a Citizen

Long ago, I had written about the CIA's interest to break India into pieces. When I wrote about it,many taken it as funny matter and was making me fool. Today, I have found similar kind of things from China. China too wants to divide India into pieces. If CIA want to break India by 2015, China is more advanced player. They are going to attack by 2012 and moving the strings for that. Here is a part from their post. Posted on April 8 on the website iiss.cn (International Institute for Strategic Studies), the article detailed a roadmap for breaking up India. “To split India, China can bring into its fold countries like Pakistan, Nepal and Bhutan, support Ulfa in attaining its goal for Assam’s independence, back aspirations of Indian nationalities like Tamils and Nagas, encourage Bangladesh to give a push to the independence of West Bengal and lastly recover the 90,000 sq km territory in southern Tibet,” the write-up said. After the demolition of LTTE, China has won their strat...

Game of Survival

Today I learned one of my ex-colleague ( since, I worked with many companies, hope very few may recognize only who is this girl ) got married recently with her boyfriend. It was not surprise news at all in this current world/culture. But if you know the girl in one shot, it will be surprise news. In her first outlook, she is the master brained girl of flirting. Whoever, good looking single man, she meets try to start flirt with them. She is very beautiful, small in height and weight. Though she was working with me, I met her accidentally and she tried her flirt on me too. What if you meet a girl, who is smart in flirt? You may flirt with her, as long as one of you make a full stop to this. There are two kinds of flirting girls. First group's aim is only to enjoy the life before marriage and leave all of their boy friends and marry one, their parents choose ( in Indian tradition, parents finds the girl/boy for their son/daughter). Second group is the real survivors. They...
