learning linux

i've always wanted to learn linux for years. but i'm still stuck with this crappy w!ndows v!sta - yes, v!sta. the crappiest of them all. and now that i have some time and a spare laptop to use, i managed to install ubuntu studio. why ubuntu studio? i just got fascinated with the programs it came with.

the first thing i checked was if i could go online, wireless that is. sad to say, the browser couldn't fetch anything. fortunately, getting the laptop wired got me online. and that's one less trouble for me.

now, the problem at hand is that there is no wireless connection. solution - search the web.

i landed on ubuntuforums.com and found out that ubuntu studio doesn't install the gnome network manager which is like the "view available networks" on xp and "connect to a network" on v!sta. so, lets just install it. i mean, lets try to install it.

next: installing a program in linux

Contextual Stratification - Chapter 4: The Pattern

  Recognition Three stories. Three domains. One pattern. In physics, Newton's laws worked perfectly until we encountered extreme speeds and tiny scales; then we needed Einstein and quantum mechanics. In economics, Keynesian models guided policy flawlessly until stagflation revealed their boundaries; then we needed multiple competing frameworks. In psychology, behaviorism explained learning and habit until we confronted consciousness and creativity; then we needed cognitive science, neuroscience, and phenomenology. Each time, a framework that seemed universal turned out to be contextual. Each time, the breakdown revealed not a flaw in the theory, but a boundary; a transition to a domain where different rules apply. Each time, the response was the same: develop new frameworks for the new domains, then discover those frameworks have boundaries too. This isn't coincidence. This is pattern. The Pattern Everywhere Once you learn to see it, you find it everywhere. Medicine spent centu...

reversed 52 week money challenge

It's highly suggested that you read 52 Week Money Challenge first before proceeding with the article. If you are still reading then I'll assume you know most about it already. Let's continue... So you can wait for one year? Very good. And you think that you'll have continuous income for a year? Even better. You can afford to set aside Php2,600.00? Cool! You think that the challenge will not work for you?(for some reason) Then try this one for size Start from the biggest amount and work your way in reverse. So, if you are using Php50.00 for your start week, then you start with Php2,600.00. e.g. as follows 1st week - Php2,600.00 2nd week - Php2,550.00 3rd week - Php2,500.00 4th week - Php2,450.00 etc... etc... Hence, it's call Reversed 52 Week Money Challenge. Since it's the same challenge, but in reverse. What is so different about it? I just feel that I won't finish the challenge with the normal way of doing it. I felt tha...
