Ideal BSOD...

Hey guys its been a long time since we have seen the Blue Screen Of Death, a bane for Windoze users and a unheard character for us. I got this BSOD Wallpaper and knew this could be made better.

I had got Windows XP and things were OK for sometime but then came Vista. It was an horrifying experience. Microsoft acknowledged that it was a mistake of an operating system but like a bunch of hoodlums, extorting money, said if you wish to save yourself from misery then cough up your hard earned money. I then tried Ubuntu, this was June 2010, and have never looked back. I went from Ubuntu to Fedora and have found utopia.

Flash or no Flash that is the question...

Last week was hell it was my submission and my hard disk crashed. It was totally my bad but still shit happens. Got my new hard disk, thanks Lenovo for a swift service and loved the experience. So after a full marks service by Lenovo I got the computer up and running, installed Fedora and tweaked it to my preference. I had thought of installing Arch but was in no mood to spend the days configuring to do a simple job and also was a little short of time for my submission.

So that bring us to our post, this not just any rambling. Flash has decided to drop support for linux for its next version. Version 12 will only be available for Mac and Windoze users. We have read all the blogs and news flashes (he he he) Flash for linux will stop at version 11 and will only be supported for next 5 years. We all know that by that time we will (hopefully) have HTML5 and will never require the abomination called Flash. But are we ready for Flash free surfing today.

I am not gonna install Flash for as long as possible. I will try to use alternatives if I require it too badly, but no Flash for me for the near future. Wish me luck guys...

Waiting for the Miracle

Fedora 17 is a miracle, its a Beefy miracle. Just tried out Alpha and its looking great. Waiting to get hold of it and hopefully to help in the process.
Today I am just ironing out my online presence with having a similar face everywhere. Uploaded my hackergotchi...




I have also dabbled with Gimp and Inkscape to make a wallpaper in anticipation of the new release. Hope you like it.
