Opensuse 11… The nostalgic days of of the iguana

cyberpunk — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 16:49:47 +0000

Looking back at it if it wasn’t for suse maybe i wouldn’t have delved into linux at all. Back then i was nothing but a little grasshopper annoying the shit out of more advances linux users such as bartergeek, and enigmatic thoughts and a few others from a forum i once used to visit.. (truth be told i owe a lot to that community.. but i still do despise the forum… lazy bastards.. but another time for that). Anyway Yatta introduced me to suse and even traveled into the “slums” of portmore to drop off the suse dvd’s So i could do my install. After that and a few more nagging questions directed to enigmatic thoughts I was up and running and getting used to using suse, its rpm package management system (yast) and linux in general. I”m capable of using linux as my host operating system and did so for more than 3 years.. with ubuntu though.. I jumped ship from suse when ubuntu was in its breezy badger state and traversed all the way to hardy herron. So seeing this opensuse 11 release just makes me feel to install it for the fun of it.. but why bother when there are screenshots to look at.

p.s did you see me talkign on my old blogger blog about how kde rawwwks.. wtf was i thinking.. i never really exprienced anything other than kde with suse though.. as its a kde distro.. though gnome could be installed i just wasn’t interested.

Miphone Makes Engadget Mobile

cyberpunk — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 00:08:45 +0000

Thought its not in an extremely cool fashion. Miphone did make engadget mobile today in regards to the iphone being supported on their network. they are infact aware that miphone has a cdma network But I’m sure they didn’t know of the upcoming Gsm Platform which they plan to move to. I even heard they plan to skip Edge and go straight to 3g (from an inside source). Short post yes.. but i just thought it was kinda cool that miphone made engadget.. I figure its in relation to the name of the company and the product. miphone..iphone.. gimicky name.

Ubuntu for UMPC’s in june Where’s the UME though?

cyberpunk — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 21:01:51 +0000

Now i’m happy definitely happy that ubuntu is making a os for the much talked about umpc’s now. They’re gaining momentum in the market place so of course you need to secure your piece of the pie. However what of the UME that have been in the works form 2007. I even went as far as frequenting the IRC channel and reading their development discussions and even interviewed one of the developers. I really hope it gets completed and I’m glad either way. More options for umpc owners Therefore when i buy one I’ll have an os to run on it :).

Windows 7 is coming on nicely and now available for umpc?

cyberpunk — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 20:52:12 +0000

Windows 7. A few months ago i read a blog entry on this and i really thought why am i doing this this is clearly a fake. Vista was just released there is no way they could be leaking information to the web on their new os in development. However it does seem it was all true Windows 7 is real. Why such an odd name, I’m currently uncertain.

Now windows 7 is apparently not only for the desktop and notebooks but also a flavour for the new boombing computing category knowns as umpc’s (please see gizmodo’s articile which defines the category of portable computing to get a better understanding of a umpc). The umpc’s will also feature multitouch capabilities (insert oohs and ahhhs here). The only thing that would make this a triple threat thriller for ms is releasing all of them at the same time.. but where is the third you ask, because so far i’ve talked about windows 7 desktop and notebook edition, umpc edition and nothing else. Well the third would be non other than windows mobile 7. If they can market, promote and launch with a proper campaign around the 3 things i’m sure they’ll rack up a shit load of sales just off the hype alone. I know Steve jobs could do it.

Google Changes the G

cyberpunk — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 02:59:08 +0000

Has anyone noticed that when they do a google search they no longer see the old google Capital ‘G’ instead we get a blue common ‘g’ which resemles the ‘g’ in the word geek as written on the ‘geekelixir’ banner?. sup with that. it really grinds my gears for some reason.. what other changes you got for me google.. mhmm.. what else is there in the bag of changes… you touch the google search and i’ll kill you were you stand in the digital world you hear me you search engine giant… Know that my digital sling shot is is strong and i will bust a cap in a ‘G’oliath if i must.

Shigurui…

I do not get overwhelmed often, suffice to say I am as jaded as they come. This anime has me breathless. I am a huge fan of the Samurai-Warrior culture, and as one who has read the Go Rin No sho, and practices the techniques handed down, in spirit if not in man killing technique, I am all over this anime like lolcats on Cheezburgers.

The plot..to even begin to tell you would be a waste, this shit rawks on so many levels it is not funny. It is horrifically violent, the characters are human and flawed, and you, if you are true, will realise the layers and layers of the samurai warrior society and the fuckery that a word, or a glance can cause for generations.

The pacing is slow as fuck, the intro is like one and a half minutes, but there is at least one, “HOLD THE FUCK UP, WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!”, session per episode. I promise you.

The first time you see the Kugan Ryuu technique used, you will shit yourself.

Salivate bitches..

Listen, when your sensai asks a question, don’t be a smartass:

One sentence, said to shame a peerless warrior, result in man life a lost without cause…

Flow…

I was on my way out when I saw the seven-step-prayer technique…….BUMBO RAAAAAAS CLLAAAT…RASS RASS….

Ecommerce Emerging in Jamaica

cyberpunk — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 18:17:37 +0000

Jamaica is definitely emerging on the e-commerce scene. On the 5th of April 2008 There was an event held called Emerge (click for event details). It featured Jamaica’s best web applications along with some other booths that weren’t necessarily web related (but could be if you think about it). It was a great networking opportunity and extremely good for promotion purposes as quite a few media people passed through. Among my happiest moment of the entire expo is hearing about paymasters move to online payment processing. Genius and should have been done along time ago. But i will not be the dark person that complains even when the item of desire is delivered. Kudos to paymaster on that move (praise is deserved) Ncb can go and die with their merchant accounts for all i care as its super difficult to acquire one as a little guy in the business-scape of Jamaica / the Caribbean / world.

For the geek i think the booth of choice to stop by would have definitely been FennTech they had the super sized plasma tv’s hooked up to pc for your gaming pleasure. They had a lot of ipod accessories and pc accessories and gave away a lot of cool swag (free stuff that people love receiving at expos). After seeing those plasmas in action I’m contemplating ebaying one of those bad boys imagine my pc hooked up to a 42″ or more screen.. Jeez *faints*.

For the event seeker events.in876.com was the booth to be at, to basically orient ones self with the most diversified event listing website available. With the most feature rich and social oriented approach to make the user feel comfortable with using the product. events.in876.com launched version 2.0 of their product at the Emerge Expo, it was well received by the patrons.

The food lovers would have found them self over by Cb chicken who had food for tasting (not sure why they were there.. but if they pushing for e-commerce with chicken orders i guess they have a legitimate reason). Also indulge another food company was present.

Audio was up in the place showing off their roadster and the new audi A6 which you’ve gotta be filthy rich.. like if cut you bleed money to kinda rich to buy one.

There were quite a few booths there but I was representing so i didn’t venture alot. But overall the vibe at the expo was great and i think anyone could have enjoyed it techhead , geek, audiophile, gamer or just a simple person. For those interested in photos there are a few photos on my profile at events.in876.com feel free to check em out

What next google?

cyberpunk — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 16:38:23 +0000

Talking about android this morning got me wondering. What will those people really do next. While talking to a friend he blurted out Consoles. Wouldn’t that be something. Gbox anybody? I felt a bit idle and tried modifying the existing generation consoles to be G stuff but I suck at photoshop so..
