Ubuntu Fever!

-
Recently i have updated my OS from Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) to Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat). There are some notable changes considering my usage and it is all mentioned below.

Changes in Evolution and got updated to the latest version 2.30.3. I could feel the response got increased a bit and works more solid.

Default photo manager got changed to Shotwell from F-spot. Shotwell is very responsive and for me it is way better than F-Spot.

The sound Indicator has been enhanced to include music player controls.

Software center has been updated with some additional features.

Quick support for hardware drivers. In my case it was for nvidia graphics card.

New themes, new icons, and new wallpaper bring a dramatically updated look and feel to Ubuntu.

Never tried Ubuntu one. But will be doing it soon.

My Ubuntu experience ladder was like this.

Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) -> Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) -> Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) -> Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat)

My experience with Ubuntu is going pretty well and i completely like the feel. Still am having Microsoft Vista as my second operating system. And i believe i will be removing it in the near future. So, at present am not dependent on Microsoft anymore and i could do anything that i wanted to do in Ubuntu.

Into the wild of Alaska..

Recently I was in search of some non-fiction books to read. I have never read any book in that genre and something inside me wanted and I was searching for couple of days and finally found the book called "Into the Wild". Also found out that there was a film adoption in the same name and it was confusing to me whether to watch the movie or to read the book. Ultimately I chose to watch the movie and guess what? The movie was haunting me for a while and started listening to the original soundtracks over and over. Let me explicate about the movie. This is the best and most under-appreciated film. I absolutely loved everything about Into the Wild, most especially Emile Hirsch as Christopher McCandless who is amazing in his performance. This is a poignant, compelling narrative about Chris, an intelligent, intense, and idealistic young man, who cut off all his connections to his sister and parents. Through out his journey he meets lot of people and many of them offered their love a...

The birth of my new Passion!

Since childhood I was always fascinated towards photography. Eventually it all started with the pleasure of viewing the best shots. And slowly started in capturing the moments. But didn't get enough time to move further. For past couple of years i was having solitude kind of life. I do get lot of times to spend for myself. Literally i was bored to work on a laptop day and night i wanted some other activities to enjoy myself. I tried reading, but that was not more effective. I do like reading and sometimes enjoyed the reading. But the grip was not enough to hold further and started for some other activities and then I remembered photography. Why shouldn't i learn photography and why should not i develop more skills on that? I have started thinking why do i like photography? Photography is a outlet for all of our creative Ideas. Photography for me is the one thing that keeps me of sound mind. I enjoy the patience in capturing the moment the way i want. I felt photography is th...

The Great Comeback!!

It’s been months since I last touched my blog, more than six months, I missed blogging but hopefully I am pretty much back now. I had a milestone journey with those days, weeks & months and I am excited to share it all with you! I will make it up with my blog, missed it so much as I missed all of my friends and my family. I guess I've been to preoccupied with work and there has been days when I just couldn't be bothered to log in. With emails, face book, msn, flickr, orkut, photobucket, blogs, there are too many to keep remembering and I get so confused! Anyone has this problem? Well, July 3, 2009 marked my sixth month here in Simi Valley which is very near to Los Angeles and I love it. Plus there was a lot of things happened already. Recently i was at Chicago to meet some of my college friends and yes, it was a hell of fun. Also we went to a place called Mears which is in Michigan and enjoyed the off-Road vehicle drive. That was awesome and we had a very good time there. I...
