It’s Been a Long Time…
…Since I paid attention to this blog. I got sick of old design (theme), so I decided to give some new themes a try. And because I like minimalistic and functional design over glamorous artistic designs – you see what you see.
By the way, I started using twitter. I think that it has much more [...]
Ubuntu 9.10 Coming Out…
Ubuntu 9.10 is coming out tomorrow. I’ll take a risk and upgrade my home laptop immediately. It seems like with every release it’s getting better and better…
Accounting Software
After trying various free/commercial accounting software products I returned to MS Money and suddenly felt myself ‘at home’. What a great software! Nothing is as versatile/easy to use. It’s a shame that it’s no longer supported and developed – online tools totally beat this niche.
Ubuntu 9.04
Once Ubuntu 9.04 was released, I immediately upgraded my laptop and office machine. So far so good… No problems noticed. The upgrade process was smooth and easy!
The boot process became much faster. And in general, performance-wise there’s a good improvement. I recommend this upgrade to everyone!
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.
Anyone who wants to know my new phone number – please, contact my via e-mail or any other method available (IM, whatever)
Sound Events Don’t Work on Fresh Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Installation

Quick post from the phone
I’m running late to training, but still wanted to see how it works posting from my phone…
P.S. Geeeez, I’m becoming geeky. That scares me…
How to make Samsung i780 work as a bluetooth modem in Ubuntu 8.10
This great article describes the process of getting your Samsung i780 (and any other phone supporting Internet Sharing via PAN) to work as a bluetooth modem in Linux Ubuntu 8.10.
The only thing that I have to note is that described steps didn’t work for me until I added one additional string to /etc/network/interfaces:
auto bnep0
After [...]
P.S.: ActiveSync…
Just wanted to let the world know what I think about MS ActiveSync: piece of s-h-i-t. Pediod.
I borrowed my wife’s computer (she uses XP), installed ActiveSync 4.5. Then somehow it needed to restart 3-4 times to start working with my phone. Whatever, I have a patience. But… When it ’synced’ with Outlook, I was shocked. [...]
Microsoft ActiveSync Weirdness And Few More Thoughts
Why does Windows Mobile let you synchronize your device with many computers and only one Exchange Server? Why does it only let you synchronize one Mail account, when you can have many?.. I can continue this list, but… I guess these are all rhetorical questions.
One thing is pretty obvious though: Microsoft is already an Internet [...]
