Ubuntu & Beryl

Here are the screen shots of my Ubuntu with Beryl.

3-D desktop cube with transparency.


Wanna take a peek on what's going on at the back of the current window?


Another one with OpenOffice.org maximized window.


I tried to put video screen capture, but it seems so heavy when capturing video that the animations look so fuzzy; so I'm using the screen shots instead.

I'm posting this blog, and also the last one from my Ubuntu Linux. ^_^

I'm referencing to this blog as I'm using ATI, but for some reason, it doesn't work as said. I've got no time to read more of that, so I disable the restricted drivers and it works like a charm.

Ubuntu Linux

I finally came to a point that I'm trying out Linux. I did long time ago try Fedora Core (it was 3 at that time).

I'm so amazed by the 7.04 of Ubuntu; it's so easy to install. Took me less than half an hour to finish the installation on my Aspire 2010 laptop.

This is so far the best Linux I've ever seen (perhaps I've not been seeing other Linux distributions). The desktop effects of Wobbling windows is so cool and works fine in my laptop.

I later found out that finding new programs is so much easier with the Synaptic Package Manager, that uses catalogs in the internet (that we can update) to locate packages (like VLC and Beryl I've installed into my Ubuntu)

And the Beryl is so cool man.. I've seen this in a video in YouTube (long time ago, but u can still Google it) and I didn't think that I was going to experience this, on Linux.

Ubuntu really makes my Vista at home look bad. Haha..

Sneezing Panda

Saw this short 13-seconds video of a sneezing panda. I was laughing my ass off when I saw this.. Very funny.. ^_^

Good break of the day after brainstorming.

Man Me from HK

A family from my mother's side came to Indonesia for someone's wedding, so they came to Binjai for a visit.

Took them to a local feast. Not so used to eat using hands. ^_^

SISF @ Medan

Met Mertje and some of the old SISF friends in Medan. So happy that I can see the faces I've not seen for years. I'm also reclaiming a bulk of paper that I gave her when I was in KL, all about choir notes. I'm gonna have it scanned and documented for future reference.
Had dinner @ Fountain, Medan Fair Plaza..
Ah.. I miss the college times.

New day with laughter

I'm driving today.. going to meet Mertje this evening.
On my way from the parking lot to the office we (JF and I) noticed a fellow (about 40s Chinese) walking by the pathway singing all by himself. He looked happy all by himself walking there; which reminded me of being happy and be grateful of everything..

Have a nice day..

Brastagi with NISP

This was indeed a holiday..
Hui's NISP colleagues invited me to go to Brastagi highland with them.. had good times.
I hadn't had good laugh recently and I'm glad that I joined them.

Had a 2-hours karaoke at Mickey Holiday...
Damn.. I forgot my jacket.. Freezin here..




Check out who we encountered...

183.. (though I'm not a fan of it.. but the girls were [almost] crazy bout them and had all the boys to take pictures of them)
