I Changed My Cell Phone Carrier
I decided to change my primary cell phone carrier. I use Utel’s services from this point on. The advantage is a fast 3G internet for very little price. This makes me truly mobile now.

Sound Events Don’t Work on Fresh Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Installation
You may notice that logon sound plays perfectly fine, but other sounds (like window maximising, minimising, etc.) just refuse to work even though they may be enabled in preferences on fresh Ubuntu Intrepid installation. Here’s the solution. Works for me!

Windows Mobile devices and synchronization

I’m talking about synchronisation of Windows Mobile devices with non-Windows platforms. Theoretically, it is possible, but… There are lots and [...]
Hooking up Samsung i780 and Ubuntu
Okay, so I’ve been desperately trying to make my phone (Samsung SGH-i780) work as a modem in Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid) and finally managed to! For those who’ll possibly stumble upon this post and who are interested to know how to make it work – here’s how to do it:
First of all, a small introduction. When [...]
Changed the title of the blog
I have decided to change the title of this blog since Darya didn’t justify the right to be called ‘The Blogger’, hehe . This is my virtual revenge!
Upgraded Wordpress to the latest version
