Ulteo – Yet Another Linux Distro?
So why do we need YALD? Well this isn’t just any new Linux distro! This Linux distro is created by Gael Duval, the recently-booted creator of Mandrake Linux. Mandrake Linux was in the position Ubuntu now is – the easy distro to introduce new people to Linux with. It had the easiest installer around and…

GNaughtyNice is working again
After spending the past three days futzing about, I’ve finally configured things on my new server so that GNaughtyNice will once again run. So visit the link on the right-hand side of my blog and see how Naughty or Nice any word is!

How My Parents are Saving the World
I really respect and admire my parents for what they are doing now. At a time when they should be relaxing after 24 years of parenting, they have taken on 3 foster kids – 2 of them at the last minute last week. It’s not as though my parents are trying to replace the void…

The Pope is Wrong
I can just see it in some extremist planning area: Extremist 1: Hey, the Pope said we were a violent people! Extremist 2: What a jerk! What should we do in protest? Extremist 1: Let’s bomb churches and kill a nun! Extremist 2: Excellent, that will clearly prove him wrong! See the irony? Why don’t…

Thank You God
That my father-in-law was able to get a kidney from his sister and the surgery went well. He is now recovering, but will no longer need dialysis every other day! I kept myself busy/sane in the hospital by reading my Salvador Dali book and taking pictures. Here are some of the pictures from the hospital:…

Why No Apologies for the Asians?
I am against censorship. The recent news that Tom and Jerry will be edited in Europe to remove smoking scenes is absurd! So it’s not ok for Tom to smoke, but it’s ok for Jerry to electrocute him, chop him up, and all the other behaviours kids may imitate from watching cartoons. Even racist stuff…

Worst Simpsons Episode…EVER
BEGIN SPOILER I don’t usually blog about TV shows, but this Simpsons episode was so bad, there wasn’t even a point in the writers even trying. They should have just taken a week off and worked on a better show. The show started off on a funny note, although we’ve seen it before a few…

today
“…and it’s September Eleven.” Those were the first words to pop into my consciousness this morning. It’s been a week worth of tributes, speeches, and remembrances. Today’s main thought for me involved pondering if anyone from NYC actually watched any of the 11 Sept movies this year. Personally, I think it’s way too soon and…

Spending some time with KDE
I used to love KDE and thought it was so much better than GNOME. Especially after discovering Superkaramba, I was sure nothing could beat KDE in terms of cool factor. Later I started using more GTK applications so I gravitated towards GNOME, fluxbox, and XFCE. Also, I ended up not really using the SuperKaramba widgets…

MD State Fair
I went to the Maryland State Fair Monday to get some time lapse shots of the rides and various fair settings. Here are some of the highlights:

ReactOS Correction
I kept referring to ReactOS as version 2.9 and 3.0 in my review, but it’s actually 0.2.9 and 0.3.0.

ReactOS Revisited Part 2 (ReactOS 3.0)
Ok, so with 3.0 there are still some major reliability issues. I blue screened a bunch of times just trying to get to this blog and it was quite slow. However, it did seem to work a bit better than 2.9. I will be testing installing some Windows programs to see just how far they…
