It's Ethics- It Surely links

This is a screen shot of the Venus transit in between the sun and the earth which I watched from the Ustream live channel.I got up late so I could only watch the last half n hour of the whole thingy.But I got to watch it with an elderly who didn't have to go to job today and I liked it since next one is on 2117.

Open source free software supporter is who I am.On behalf of that thought every chance I get I try to persuade someone to use the free software alternative if present.Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.Even then I totally love the way windows7 or xp works in my old computers when the unity fan ubuntu or anyone from the gnome family try to make my computer look oldish..(Oldish--Is that even a word!!) and compels me to look for XFCE or LXDE or E17 ..etc alternatives.

So as I was trying out the the distro named Linpus lite desktop 1.7 version on my USB and after trying many time it still did not boot from the usb(Yes,This have a very bad reputation on booting from usb).So I thought I may try the other chineese OS linux deepin from USB.But this time there was a different problem USB wouldn't mount because of not being able to read the superblock it says.So I tried doing almost every thing that the different forums told me to but it still couldn't do the needy and it showed this "Giving up".

So I thought I might format it using windows on my other computer but even in windows it was taking lot of time to read it though it was being listed in the MyComputer(I was partly happy as a small hope appeared out of nowwhere--And its still not DEAD).But windows was taking unusual amount of time to read the usb drive attached.Seeing this I closed the GUI showing the MyComputer and run the command prompt.

From my past experience from linux terminal I naturally didn't expect much from the MS command prompt.Even then I gave it a try .So I sat there for an hour doing things in the ways exactly as mentioned in the forums of windows

and Guess What ...!!!

I was wrong and I am now writing this on blogger while the next os is made as live usb using unetbootin in the pendrive that was made alive by MS command prompt.

Its clear that I do not know the technicalities behind it.But I sure know this
"MS Command promt made me happy today!!"

PS:The said USB was not mine but it was a borrowed from someone who had borrowed it from another.And I do not want to imagine the look of the face when I break this news to the *person*(notice the stars around it--it speaks).

I have in past two days been infront of the system doing nothing.So I thought I might change the blogger theme when I correct my previous post.Now both the task are done.I now need to get back to what I really want to do.So for that I going to make little sacrifice and discard all ongoing downloads and change my OS to Xubuntu 12.04 LTS(3year support).

The reason I am switching to xubuntu is for need of a faster system than a gnome based OS.As working speed and efficiency for all the new gnome or unity based linux OS's in older hardwares are nowhere in par with the standards of Microsoft Windows.

Plus,In addition ubuntu have dropped support for Non APE based system in their new LTS version(Support for 5 years).While lubuntu and Xubuntu have given support for Non APE based system(May be because they are aimed for the ageing hardware).

So to install ubuntu 12.04 in a Non APE based systems the following are the options :
1-Using the Ubuntu Minimum ISO
2-Upgrade from an earlier version of ubuntu.

So I have stop writing and have to get back to put xubuntu in my computer.

P.S : The title refers to the name of free blogger template I have used here.

I have used ubuntu before,and I have used blogging softwares before but it took me till now to find some simple piece of blogging software for moon OS (based on ubuntu with a different filesytem)to just to get the posting to blog done.I am starting to sound like I have been trying since long.But in reality I have just forgot how to get in back of things and I am now abound a train which have no direction but bounces off on all wall that I know I can penetrate through but dont want it to happen.

Yes in these times I have not been writing here eventhough I was completely active in the interwebs but only doing the reading part.Now I think I have found the perfect pattern but not direction because I cannot differentiate it.So in coming times I have to try to get me back in the routine that I was into before in all manner possible.
So in order to get started with I will be in future cross posting from the journal I started writing since this week at another online service which I do not want to publicize(You can understand right??).

Anyway now I have to go post what I have here over there too...

See what I meant by no direction it can just flip like that !!!

I know you may have at some point or may be everytime felt the same about your life and may you have got over it.I on another other hand feels afraid to reach out and get the trouble over with for once because I cannot convince myself to others how I really feel in a manner which they take it seriously.Which means it never happens and I end up in loop doing the same and feeling the same as I always has done or felt.

I know...Its getting boring and I know you dont have a clue what I am talking about..so just dont mind me emptying my head here in open in a rather closed manner.I do that a lot.And I must really stop writing now.

Today as I was free (at the expense of losing of a placement coaching session) all alone at home mostly with nothing to do.So in taking advantage of the free time got I thought of finding a good blog editing and publishing software.As I have been wishing to implement an offline blog editing system because of two things rather than the online blog editing option in blogger :

1.On using the online solution for these require me to have an additional login username and password(which I am finding it little heck to manage ).

2.Whenever I have something striking that I find it interesting to share with I would need an active internet connection with me.

On picking an offline solution enables me from losing space in my memory to remember or prompting me to use an password manager.Counting on an offline solution helps me to record the thoughts and other stuffs that strikes me to post here even if I dont have an active connection with me at that moment.

Keeping the above condition in my mind I searched through best solution that would help me.The sad thing is that I did not find an free software that equals with capability of an online solution other the premium solutions which bypass the capabilities of an online system too.Accepting the above facts I knew of the limit that I will have to face if I stick with the an offline solution.Even then I had to opt for an free offline solution as I had no plan of emptying my pocket for this one requirement of mine.

So I choose Post2Blog - a desktop blogging client for Windows,among the 13 of the ones I tested owing to its simpleness,clean installation and un-installation of the software,offering many features that only premium ones have.In fact I am doing this post using the same.I would definitely tell this software is something to try out if you dont have the money or heart to spend anything for an offline blog editing.

USER REVIEW ON AVG FREE ANTIVIRUS


I have been trying out Avg free antivirus over past months.And
I thought,why not prepare a user review about the same and
here is the things that I think about the product.

General Info:

-It’s a free antivirus program from AVG who has another
premieum product too in the antivirus segment.
-It does not have a firewall with it.( most free antivirus software don’t have it but I have seen firewall in the comodo internet security system-which too offer free).
-Link scanner does a good job.

Facts I found about it:

-Scanning time required are less for almost every type of scan
compared to the free products in market.
-Boot time reqiured increased considerably.While shutdown time not much affected.
-Other running programs perfomances are not affected.Which is a very postive thing.
-Link scanner eventhough is good.It will exit the web browser without giving any chance for the user to pause downloading tasks,saving open web based works..etc(So you have to be in caution every time you feel that the computer is not responding the way that it should and start taking the action).
This can prove to be highly frustrating at times and I did not find any settings change options for this.*If someone found this do post as a comment.*
-Its real times protection features are quite good.

So Prons and cons:

Prons includes:

1.Its free.
2.Online support is also good.
3.Virus detection shows stableness and seldom saw any safe files being shown as a threat while many other free antivirus does that often.
4.Not affecting the speed and efficiency of executing other apps.
5.User interface is simple.
6.It does not need any registering to continue usage(Which is
the case of free antivirus like the avast after 30 days).

Cons includes:

1.Slows the booting considerably(I will put it in between 10-20sec) and shutdown too is lagging in time (not as much as booting ofcourse !!) compared to a non protected system or other free antivirus I have tried.

2.Apps like PC analyser(I meant the full thing not available-only a one time free online test) not given in the free edition.Controlling settings of apps is difficult.

3.Annoying advertisements with AVG FREE ANTIVIRUS will cause the system to lag and this can make the software appear sluggish to you.
On weighting the pros and cons from listed even though the number of pros being more I uninstalled it from my system.Mainly due to the sluggishness it caused on my computer.
