Installed Sygic Drive, another PDA gps navigator that also works in Windows. It’s running thru wine in Ubuntu. Map files where a bit tricky, requiring a properly configured *.mlm file and an activation code for the maps.

Installed Igo 8 in my Ubuntu Netbook Remix, was pretty easy just install wine and you’re good to go. I needed to create a symbolic link from the bluetooth /dev/rfcomm0 to com1 in wine. Just went to ~/.wine/dosdevices and did a ln -s /dev/rfcomm0 com1.

Been playing with Ubuntu Netbook Remix on my Acer Aspire One 110. Before I wiped the SSD and sent the netbook to repairs I had this same problem the panels on gnome window manager disappear, in both classic desktop and the Ubuntu Netbook Desktop. Searching the forums I found the solution :

This a bug in the desktop-switcher package (https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/desk…er/+bug/349519), which I’m trying to fix and get uploaded to Jaunty before release.

To fix the issue you have currently (gnome-panel and/or windowmanager not starting), please run the following command depending on which mode your currently running in:

If in Netbook-mode, should execute:

gconftool-2 –set /desktop/gnome/session/required_components_list –type list –list-type=string ["windowmanager","panel"]

If in Classic mode:

gconftool-2 –set /desktop/gnome/session/required_components_list –type list –list-type=string ["windowmanager","panel","filemanager"]

I am pleasantly surprised with the World of Warcraft expansion, Wrath of the Lich King. So far I’ve played with Belen a few quests for 70+ levels and some quests of the new class called Death Knight, I created a Taurean called Gentoo – W00t. The quests are a lot more dynamic, less tedious, they go faster, there are a lot more details, animations and overall funniness.

Awww. That was so cute of him. I only had to ask ! 😀 … mmm… /me wants a ferrari now

Checking FXCM Micro Trading Station. I’ve always wanted to start playing with forex. I’ve done daytrading and it was interesting, but it’s too much micromanagement, I think I like forex a lot better. I need to read a lot about it.

I’m thinking about starting to take Japanese classes again. I found http://ping.fm/YMVES @ the University of Queensland. Doesn’t seem too expensive.

It’s been hard times. Lots of people and events giving me grief and tough times. This keeps happening. Even though I pull away from everything to keep the grief from getting closer, it reaches me.

I let people pressure me. I REALLY need to be able to stop that. To stand up and say no. To tell people don’t talk like that to me. To demand respect. I don’t want to yell and cause conflic, but I can’t keep on sucking up everything, it’s not healthy.

I keep forgetting how cool is Linux. Been feeling very well lately. I think i feel less pressured for stuff and that makes me feel a lot more relaxed. I enjoy being able to do what the fuck I want when the fuck I want. But don’t we all. Sadly few can.

Had a nice coversation with Peter and Belen, in two different windows and not at the same time. Maybe it’s because I feel chatty. Maybe because I love my new keyboard. It’s so easy to type in, and so silent. It was $19 and it’s one of the coolest things I bought for the pc. LOL. Well not really, but it’s where my hands are when they’re not on my cock.

Been thinking a lot about the best approach to the new stage in my life. Of course I need to work, for that I need to get the degree and for that I need to finally hand in that project. That is if I want to work in IT. I could study something else I don’t know much about (not that I knew plenty of IT, but I’m confident I’m good at problem solving and I can tackle anything) like psychology or therapy and try doing that, but I’m not kin on spending money in tuition when in a couple years I would get governement subsidy for the same tuition. I could also work in a kitchen somewhere, although I like to cook, and cooking professionally is stressfuly furfilling, I want something to challenge me mentally more. I need to keep getting mental stimuli. So, I guess goes back to IT. Okay. Coolios.

mmm
wonder if I should sleep today. I’ve been having too much fun with linux, brought back to life my gentoo from 2006. Has a new kernel already and most stuff is working, but as per usual needs ATI fixup to get X up and running, been compiling gcc for the past don’t know how many hours. Oh god, why it’s so slow..
