In a virtual world, we live in…

June 18th, 2009 Saqib 2 comments

smiley_lol

Think of this just one time, do you really laugh when you write LOL or ROLFLOL. The answer would be “no”. Do you really mean What The Hell, when you write WTH? Previously we were just writing Grrrr.. to express our emotion of anger, but now these all things are changing. Don’t you think that we are living in a virtual environment.

Nowadays, we play more PC games or play games in Consoles (shiny new PS3 or XBOX360) rather than playing physical games, like going out and playing football.

So, what are we missing? We are moving away from our natural doings, like going out, playing, jogging, etc. Nowadays we love foruming, social networking sites, social bookmarking sites, our chats, our emails. These things have become more important for us, rather than hanging out with nature. So now, my point is to decrease our time doing all this. We should go out in the morning, which is the best time for breathing fresh air. Going out in natural places like beach, gardens, etc is also very important, rather than just sticking with our PC all the time. We must not just live in this virtual environment, where we just write LOL and forget what is laughing. So from now onwards, whenever you write LOL on any forum or in email, don’t forget to laugh, because thats a natural expression. But beware, there should not be anyone watching you, otherwise you know what will happen :)

Go on, love the nature, live your life, don’t just stick with the PC all the day, afterall good health is also very important.

First encounter with Ubuntu 9.04 and conclusion

June 15th, 2009 Saqib 6 comments

Previously I was using Ubuntu 8.04 and now after the release of 9.04, I thought to give this new version a try. So, I installed this Jaunty Jackalope over my Hardy Heron. The installation was smooth like always. Ubuntu developers have made the installation easy, as compared to 8.04. I chose the new ext4 file system for my Ubuntu partition. One another thing, which I noted is that during installation, there was an option to directly login without entering username & password. A nice feature I would say. Read more…
