Yeah, its back, thanks to The Pirate Bay team.

Head to Suprnova.org now!

God always answers your wish, with a nice GUI!

Yes you got that right, a GUI tool for editing that dreaded /etc/X11/xorg.conf file you’ve always had to when your Ubuntu Linux never showed up on the screen. Its coming soon, in Gutsy Gibbon (Ubuntu ‘October’ 7.10) and is presently in Alpha.

Still, I’d prefer editing it myself with a nice text editor lest something screws up, as GUI mostly tend to

I never will understand why it doesn’t explode:

And this was when I’d just started the PC today morning and entered the BIOS directly. It started off at 68 and smoothly went on till 81. (Reboots at 81, couldn’t take a shot there).

Now its back to 60-62 (Thats normal for my Prescott) after a lot of dust cleaning in the cabinet…

The reason am not posting much these days (weeks? months?) is of course, due to my being busy. I usually never am so busy to neglect my own blog but this second year is pretty hectic. Keeping pace with it hardly gives me any spare time, and thanks to my early morning bus timings, I can’t be alive online at the night much either. Anyway, I’ll try to post at least once per two days from now on.

Now on to the random part, I got a lot of new music, which are: Bjork, Beck, Depeche Mode, Chemical Brothers, The Cardigans, The Cranberries, Deftones, Groove Armada and Lenny Kravitz. Chemical Brothers and Beck are very cool stuff with their sound. I didn’t quite like Bjork, cause its electronic sound is totally weird! Lenny Kravitz and Deftones are great rock stuff and Groove Armada and Depeche Mode are normal electronic music, I didn’t find them so impressive.

In movies, I’ve seen ‘Zodiac‘ and two animated features ‘The Invincible Iron Man‘ and ‘Doctor Strange‘ in the last week. Along with that old ‘Bad Boys‘ movie (The first part) and ‘Oceans 13‘ and ‘Wild Hogs‘. I’ll blog about each of these along the week

Onto Academics, I always end up sleeping during my Data Structures class while the teacher takes those silly Stack, Queue and Linked List ADTs. The only part I try listening properly to is the applications of each. Seriously speaking, Data Structures is of no use to study unless you create the programs for each type of application or at least practice the basic programs. I don’t know how some people manage to pass it without knowing a damn what’s going on in it. OOP is easy but comes with a lot of cryptic definitions (Speaking in the exam’s POV)

Anyway, am now off to finish my records so I can go out later today.

Got to be the best movie I’ll ever see this year. Truly amazing CGI!

I hadn’t heard about nor was interested in Transformers until two things happened. First, Karthik shows me this Second, I see this trailer of the movie (During Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix’s break) where an F-22 transforms into a huge killer robot cyber-being over the Hoover dam and that giant scorpion shaped cyber-being which jumps in and out of the sand. Never seen anything like that before for sure.
