UBUNTU LINUX
note to self: blogger sites to visit -- alohanbsplace, pernicketypinkypink
The Math department changed the Operating System of the Student Assistants's PC to a version of Linux called Ubuntu Linux. The system is not really as easy to learn as Mandrake Linux, more because Ubuntu was built UNLIKE Windows OSs. There was the menu at the top of the screen, and there was a handy button at the lower left for hiding all the windows and displaying the desktop. There were also some things at the lower right, like the multiple desktops that Linux developers are so fond of. At the start it was hard to find my way around the filesystem of the OS, mainly because everything at the desktop was simplified. No one icon ever told anything about its contents. Though in terms of it's being customizable it scored very high with me. There was the beautiful Phosphor screensaver that I sorely wanted when we were using Mandrake Linux. There was the place for the wallpaper. There was the place for my personal folder, right on one of the desktop buttons. There was...
And the Mozilla Firefox, it's web browser, was only so customizable. Hey, I sound like a geek here already. Better not get myself detected... :P
There were only some shortcomings that I noticed in Ubuntu. Once I had installed a wallpaper, it becomes global and all of my desktops have the same wallpaper. Actually all of my customizations become global(meaning within the user). And I don't like it actually. I don't get to have my own within the user 'SA'. Hmpf.
All in all, I give the Ubuntu an 8.5 out of 10. It still has some shortcomings, and leaves yet much to be desired.

No more lonely nights
Am the Head of the Department of Poisons and Antidotes of the College of Substances, also doubling as the chief of the Apothecary for the Department of the National Defense. Ahem.
BUT SERIOUSLY
Am a 4th year University of the Philippines student, but currently am a non-major in the College of Mass Communication. I can write, but am really unsure of whether I write well. This is a somewhat faithful version of what I keep in my paper diaries. And yes, I DO write my diaries MANUALLY. I've already filled up thirty-three Papemelroti notebooks, and am on my thirty-four. I love to eat, and boy, my diet sure can pack the pounds on even Palito. I now am planning to reduce weight, but will execute after the hell weeks are over. :D Am planning to shift to either BS Economics or BS Statistics. Wish me luck! :D
