Nokia 5800 xpm and WP
Oh yea. Giving it a try. Swems to be connecting perfectly to my blog, but I don't really like the idea of posting too long writings with a mobile qwerty keyboard :)
But it should be nice for small tweet kind of things since I've my blog automatically posting to fb, twitter etc :)
Ubuntu sucks
So I installed Ubuntu on my sister's old laptop as she gave it to me saying that the battery and AC adapter are broken. Well they are, but if it's plugged in, it works just fine if you don't go around moving the laptop. So I just installed Ubuntu on it, set up remote desktop connection and put it in the corner of my room. It sits over there just fine. I managed to connect to it just fine remotely from my Windows desktop and everything went smoothly. But the damn thing sometimes stops taking keystrokes remotely and locally. Reboot helps, but then the same problem returns even before taking a remote connection. Not to mention some applications don't open, menus lag like hell or don't open... And that's just the GUI. The keyring "feature" is a pain in the ass. I mean who wants an operating system that asks for the superuser password and the keyring password all the time. And why on earth isn't the default user an administrator by default? And why doesn't it work when you set the account as administrator? Oh and the Unity thing disappeared suddenly after a boot as if the computer had no graphical performance for it? Isn't Linux supposed to be lightweight? Oh and don't get me started on installing and configuring things. It's command line all the way...
I've used Ubuntu now for a week and had it installed last year as well for a couple of months. But it causes nothing but sorrow. So if someone comes to you saying "dude, Ubuntu rocks. It's free and it's just like Windows.", tell him/her to go f*** themself. Unless you're familiar with Linux/Ubuntu from years back or know the system, don't bother. Just stick with Windows as it will work as it is supposed, assuming that you've XP or preferably Win7. I know I'm not much to say Ubuntu sucks and I'm sure it works fine with some, but what the hell is that if it's not worth using for the basics even?!
However, I will take a few deep breaths and get back to that pile of sh**. Seriously. Stay out of Ubuntu unless you're a wiz with computers.
Health issues
Flu's a tough bitch. First I had the bachelor's party to go to, then a week later, after staying up all night. I decided to go to this festival close-by. Well Friday was fine with great weather and Saturday started off the same. But then once we got the festival area, it started pouring rain like 15 mins after getting there. Oh well, drunk as I was, I didn't really mind and seeing a couple of my friends out in the open when there was no shelter to take cover in - we just stayed outside, drank beer and talked shite. After a while the rain stopped and clothes were naturally wet.
Then on Sunday I got back and on Monday started to get the flu. No biggy, that's the price to pay. But then on Wednesday evening I suddenly just coughed a bit harder and felt this stinging pain in my left rib. Hurt like hell, but I didn't really mind. Then another cough and it started to hurt a bit more. This repeated a few times and by the time I went to bed, it really hurt to cough at all. I took a couple of painkillers to numb the pain and went sleep.
Around 4am I woke up when I started coughing with a dry mouth. Hate when that happens, but the pain was so agonizing that I was barely able to get up for some water. I did get up though and went to get a couple of 500mg painkillers + water. Then came back to bed. The pain was really devastating and I started to really feel bad mentally as well. I was afraid of every single cough coming and immediately when I felt one coming, I headed over to my bed where I had a big pillow that I rested my left rib on while coughing. It easied the pain a bit, but something had to be done so I called the ER as soon as they opened at 8am. Described my problem and got an appointment 30mins later. Woke up my dad (he had a b-day, must have really liked the timing) and asked for a ride over there. Got there, took xray and found out that I had fractured my rib(s?).
The doc prescribed me with some painkillers to be taken 3 times a day. A dose of 1800mg each time. That really did the trick and a couple of days later I'm able to move and cough again a lot better. Doesn't hurt that much and I don't take the whole dose every time anymore. 1800mg really makes you sleepy. I easily slept 12 hours a night (or day).
So now I'm waiting for my knee examination on 18th and that's when they decide if I'm having the knee operation or not. If you don't know what's wrong with it, it's my ACL. Arterior Cruciate Ligaments or something... Painful as hell. Also my knee spiral's been acting up and that's what they fixed the last time. This time I'm hoping that if I'm actually getting the operation, my knee would be fixed. The past few years have been horrible mentally and physically. Gaining weight and not having the physical condition to deal with it is really hard to handle. There's a lot of issues behind the whole thing, but that's for another scribbling, if I feel sharing about it.
Anyways.
Peace,
Toni
Gulliver’s Travels
"Jack Black in it has to be at least a bit funny.", was what I thought before pressing play. Because that's pretty much all I knew about the movie. Oh well, I checked who else was in and the likes of Jason Segel, Amanda Peet (damn this gal is hot!), Emily Blunt, Billy Connolly and T.J. Miller (awesome in IT Crowd!) sounded bells so I decided to check the movie all the way.
Apart from the cool tilt shift footage during the intro and the odd few nice jokes during the film itself, it wasn't more than an average Hollywood romantic cliché catalog. I still hated Black's attitude to throw all the rock style over there. There are just places where it's okay, but some places are just way off the target audience. However if you know the Gulliver legend, it's worth the hour and a half watch.
My score: 2/5
