Two Awesome Releases

Written by Kesh on April 27, 2008 – 8:16 pm

I might got these news late but I still believe its not too late to talk about. Anyway, straight tot the point the two releases that I meant are Windows XP SP3 and Ubuntu Hardy Heron.

Microsoft scheduled to release Windows XP Service Pack 3 on April 29th; however the download for 316MB XP SP3 is appearing on sites all across the Internet. A good example of this is over at two famous sites: Major Geeks and Softpedia. They have already posted full download and have mirrored it in several different locations. That essentially means that is already publicly available despite the fact the Microsoft won’t officially be posting it on their site until Tuesday. So, if you want to get Windows XP SP3 (build 5512) a little early you know where to download. As for me ,my laptop getting old and I can’t bear to disrupt my system and end up reformatting. So, I just going to sit and wait for awhile until I get satisfied feedbacks. By the way, rumors said XP SP3 is faster than XP SP2 and even faster than Vista, isn’t it sounds exciting? Smiley

As per requested by Novinthen:

Next latest release is Ubuntu 8.04 dubbed “Hardy Heron” that will support until 2011, offers freer, more productive space for work and play than before. For most of us, that made us to hold from using Linux platforms is the method of installation and when dual booting as well. Thanks to Wubi, you won’t have the trouble to crack your head to dual booting Ubuntu. Wubi installs Ubuntu just like you installing any other programs and you can uninstall it as well with few clicks only. With this new release Hardy Heron made that even easier by included the Wubi in the installation process as well. Adrian Hughes Kingsley explained briefly in his blog on how to install Ubuntu Hardy Heron onto a PC without disrupting Windows system. I already installed Ubuntu Hardy Heron on my laptop this very early morning and happy with it. I used Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon before this but I believe this new release its gotten better in booting time and the UI as well plus with lots of cool features.

On next article, I will share my experience using Ubuntu . If you have any questions regarding the installation I might be able to help you, remember I’m just a newbie as well. However, if you need better assistance you can look for the answers for your questions in Ubuntu Forums.

Write in Tamil made easy!

Written by vickn3s on April 21, 2008 – 9:07 am

Howdy and vanakam to all my dear friends. It’s my 1st post here,
so I would like to share something really useful for those who cant
write in tamil or proper tamil (like me).

It’s an web base application called Quillpad and its located here.

It’s a real simple and user friendly application where any beginner would easily get adapted to it.

that’s the URL

Input the word in english alphabet.

And, this is what you get!!

But there’s a disadvantage in it. The spelling wont be as
accurate at the beginning stage. Hence one has to try out slowly to get
the perfect word.

Enjoy using it but.

Essential Freeware

Written by Kesh on April 20, 2008 – 11:45 am

Hi, this is my first article in here and I basically like to discuss any topic related to Technology. In short, this may not be exclusive article for Malaysian or Malaysian Indians as well but useful for everyone in general.

Could you imagine your desktop or notebook without Microsoft Office, Norton Antivirus, Nero and etc? Why paying extra cash to purchase expensive software whereby you can use freeware with almost similar features. In this article I handpicked several essential freeware that can help you in major computing needs and some positive side of using it compared to the others.

Antivirus
If it’s comes to antivirus software the first thing I will stress is no no no and no to AVG antivirus software. Please don’t ask me why instead I suggest other anti-virus software which are way better: Those software are quite new among users but it’s gaining popularity for its effectiveness in detecting and protecting system from various threats.

AntiVir Personal
Avast! Home Edition
AVG Free Edition
