After a long and I mean a really long break, consider it starting from June 2006, with 3 months of summer vacations, and another month of lackluster Ramadan and then a small working month and finally 9 days of feasting till the first week of January 2007, we are all going back to work tomorrow. Yay!!

Here are things to expect from tomorrow:

  1. Curses for the winter chill
  2. Sporadic rainfall
  3. Long coffee/tea breaks with shivering in our toes
  4. Early bedtimes, extreme wake-ups 5 a.m.
  5. School kids totally psyched out as exams a slap of reality check
  6. Parents of these kids double slapped with exams and work and bloody winter
  7. Horrific traffic jams from 6 a.m. till 10 a.m. and then 1 p.m. till 4 p.m. and then 6 p.m. till 8 p.m.
  8. Annual household budgeting blues
  9. Shopping malls, city centers, co-ops filled with people and no free parking slots

Damn hell of a way to begin our new year. Well in all cases here is wishing you a fantabulous Working Year ahead from ChillNite!!

Weather forcast for next 10 days to keep you Chilled!

Damn am in love with my Kubuntu distro. What the hell was I in for with Windows ?! No offense but Vista to Batista it would take eternity to catch up with the FOSS [free n open source software]. The speed, performance, accessibility to softwares [total free stuff], updates, upgrades etc is amazin!

Both Ubuntu and Kubuntu are from same roots, they branch out with differences in Display Managers and apps, but under the hood its all the same fantabolous Linux kernel. Its been 3 days and I am bloody addicted to the distro. Am upgrading to KDE 3.5.5 as I blog this entry. Got everything working on my Acer Aspire 1640 laptop. The issues I faced initially was with display 1280×800 but there is a nifty app which solved that issue. Other than that the only outstanding issue is now to get my Wataniya Air-Card working with Kubuntu. Got it working initially but the bloody thing cuts off every 2mins. Bluetooth is working fine.
One thing that I would like to add is that its geek-zone when setting up Kubuntu to work properly with some of the hardware issues and it might take n00b some time to get used to filesystem, naming conventions, and command line interface. Thanks to my university sessions on Unix, the installation, upgrades from command line have been a breeze for me.

Any one interested in deploying distro, feel free to get in touch with me if you face any issues in installation and config. Will meet you guys today at the bloggers meet-up.
