Experience ubuntu

What is Ubuntu? I am searching new answers. I will say this is more than an operating system... more than a software or man made computer intelligence. This is derived from people who offer humanity or allow or make a way others to grow in the computer science world.

Ubuntu can change everything

Yesterday I had installed Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop Edition. I really wondered on seeing the installation as well as appearence of latest Ubuntu. In that cover of Ubuntu CD ( www.ubuntu.com ), they have described their mission. After one round usimg I realised the tremendous differance between 6th and 8 th version of Ubuntu.You can feel the differance in windows closing ,utilities and in booting ,opening screen. Moreover I understood the strength of ubuntu community ( www.ubuntu.com/community ) . "Ubuntu" is an ancient African word that means "humanity to others " . This Linux distribution brings the spirit of Ubuntu to software world.

But this time also I missed to make a swap partion. Actually I don't know how to make a swap? How much space needed ? How it should be specified at the time of installation??

Struggling for getting interest to blog

In these days I was really struggling for getting a topic to blog. I can say, no time to study or read a new thing.But I want to enrich my knowledge. Usually I go to office at 8.00 am and return only on 9.30 pm. In software companies this become a culture. Even if they(sorry, we ) don't have work, we will be keen to pretend that we have work or heavy load. I can cry on public, in that 10 or 11 hours, most of the time my brain will be switched off.

But I am not ready to stop my blogging spirit. Here I am alone. I want my life to open to others so that I believe, I can reduce loneliness . You can expect more, more funny things.

–Ralph Johnson

Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment.

Theory is when you know something, but it doesn’t work. Practice is when something works, but you don’t know why it works. Programmers combine theory and practice: Nothing works and they don’t know why.

It’s hard enough to find an error in your code when you’re looking for it; it’s even harder when you’ve assumed your code is error-free.

The Six Phases of a Project:
Enthusiasm
Disillusionment
Panic
Search for the Guilty
Punishment of the Innocent
Praise for non-participants

Good code is its own best documentation. As you’re about to add a comment, ask yourself, ‘How can I improve the code so that this comment isn’t needed?’ Improve the code and then document it to make it even clearer.
–Steve McConnell Code Complete

The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.
–Bertrand Russell

No matter how slick (efficient) the demo is in rehearsal, when you do it in front of a live audience the probability of a flawless presentation is inversely proportional to the number of people watching, raised to the power of the amount of money involved.
One of the main causes of the fall of the Roman Empire was that, lacking zero, they had no way to indicate successful termination of their C programs.

If debugging is the process of removing bugs, then programming must be the process of putting them in.

As soon as we started programming, we found to our surprise that it wasn’t as easy to get programs right as we had thought. Debugging had to be discovered. I can remember the exact instant when I realized that a large part of my life from then on was going to be spent in finding mistakes in my own programs.
–Maurice Wilkes discovers debugging, 1949

I did say something along the lines of “C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot; C++ makes it harder, but when you do, it blows your whole leg off.”

The age of 'blog ' pathys

Read this chennai chronicle news . This will really encourage you to blog because laks of people are blogging daily in India.

The age of 'blog ' pathys

Frustrated with the fact that the money making drill known as your job has evolved into sitting at a desk from 9 to 5, getting paid peanuts at the end of the month? For all those buckling under the monotony of daily life, the global phenomenon called blogging may just have opened the doors to wealth heretofore unseen in office space.

But how does this work? The answer lies in the revenue generated from ads posted on each blogger’s site. Kiruba Shankar, a popular blogger from Chennai, says, “There are several ways to make a handsome earning through blogs. However, the most popular mode happens to be through ads, specifically – Google’s Adsense service. Subscribers of the service are paid a commission on the basis of the number of hits that ads placed on the subscribers’ blog get. The ads are posted according to the relevance of the blog.”

If you are a lover of gadgets and you frequently blog about the latest in gizmos, your blog could be posted with ads pertaining to local dealers of such gadgets, auctioning sites that sell them at different rates etc. The revenue earned by a blogger would depend on various factors. Ganesh, the blogmeister of Rupaiya.com explains this, “The money you make from the ads depends on the subject of the blog, it’s popularity and its ranking. For an ad space, one can earn anywhere between Rs. 2,000 to Rs. 9,000 per month. Hits on these advertisements could a fetch a blogger anywhere between Rs 4 to Rs. 300.” Ganesh says, “I have made about Rs 7 lakh in about a year and a half. But there are even those who earn from Rs 5 lakh to Rs 20 lakh per month.”

Parminder Singh, the business head of technology, Google India says, “The revenue as well as the exact number of bloggers in Adsense are confidential. Of course, it’s very popular in India and almost every major blogger is a part of it.”

However, ads are not the only way to make money through blogs. Ramanujam, an engineering graduate who makes more money from his blogs than his ads says, “I write product reviews and link my blog to the product’s website. So in turn, that company pays me.” He adds, “I have made almost a six-figure amount which is enough to sponsor my higher education.” But before these figures tempt you to quit your job and start blogging, Kiruba cautions, “It may look like the next big thing in terms of money, but it’s not as easy as it seems. Only a fraction make that kind of money. Moreover it takes a blogger almost a year, maybe more to make money.” Jamshed. V. Rajan, the product head of Ibibo.com, says, “Even though some portals have a system similar to Google’s, they are not as popular, due to the factors like accuracy, relevance etc.”

Are you getting the answer to the question ,'For what, are you studying '??

I am really strugging to get answer for that question. In my schooling days I thought , "I am studying for getting first rank in class". Then I understood that the answer was not sufficient for me to keep interest in studies.
Somehow I managed to get P.C Thomas tuition Centre in Plus two days. Then I understood , I was nothing , I was totally weak in lot of areas . Getting a good rank in P.C class was very difficult, that retarded my interest in studies. Then I kept another target as getting admission in a good engineering college. After getting ECE in Thrissur GEC, I realised that also not giving a permanent desire for study. For what I am studying ? getting good job, getting a rich girl, buying a car....etc.. These answers had come through my mind . But those were not giving me a final answer or an end to that question.
After started to write some technical things in my blog, I realised that I could have write more technical things or whatever I had studied. That would be very useful to next generation and also my article or blog would live even if my age over. Currently what I am thinking, just write down in blog whatever I am studing. Actually these intention, really give me interest in studing.
