  • changes in sayings

    women used to have this saying “the bigger, the better” but then it suddenly changed, it’s now “the thinner, the better”. dude, i know exactly what you’re thinking, no not that one, its the one hanging on your side, your laptop!.

    let me introduce the fight to the thinnest, on the right corner, 0.7” thick and weighting 2.25lbs, it’s “Intel Mobile Metro” and on the left corner, 0.76” thick and weighting 3.0lbs, its “Macbook Air”!.

  • stop saying “it doesn’t work”!

    VodaGlobe

    This is about the HUAWEI E620 PCMCIA Card for Globe Visibility.

    I kept on calling Globe Customer Service about the card if it works on Linux (Ubuntu 7.10) and i always get the same answer “it doesn’t work.”.. Talked to some engineers and devs of Globe and again i get the “it doesn’t work.” answer.

    What the heck is wrong with these people? Can’t they just be nice to answer me like “we are still working on it.” rather than giving me a dead-end answer?…

    Last night i got challenged and told myself, “if they can’t do it, then i think i can..”… and for just a matter of 12 minutes, i got a new answer and this time it came from me, “it works!”…

    A first grader can do this and i’m sure you can..

    Here’s how:

    Download this software from Vodafone.

    Vodafone Mobile Connect for Linux (Ubuntu 7.10)

    Install it and change the settings to Globe Visibility.

    Just change the username to globe, password to globe and APN to internet.globe.com.ph .

    Connect!…

    whooohaaaaa!!!!  SWAK!!!! it works!!!!

    screenshot.png

    Can’t get enough with Compiz effects and stuff? Why not try to pimp your Ubuntu 7.10 with kiba-dock…

    Just follow the installation guide and you’re done pimpin’..

    Next just do the following - Typing each line at a time
    $ sudo aptitude remove automake1.4

    $ sudo aptitude install fakeroot automake1.9 build-essential libpango1.0-dev libgtk2.0-dev libgconf2-dev libglitz-glx-dev librsvg2-dev libglade2-dev libxcomposite-dev subversion libtool libgtop2-dev python-gtk2-dev intltool

    $ mkdir kiba-dock

    $ cd kiba-dock

    $ svn co https://kibadock.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/kibadock/trunk/akamaru/ akamaru

    $ svn co https://kibadock.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/kibadock/trunk/kiba-dock/ kiba-dock

    $ svn co https://kibadock.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/kibadock/trunk/kiba-plugins/ kiba-plugins

    $ svn co https://kibadock.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/kibadock/trunk/kiba-dbus-plugins/ kiba-dbus-plugins

    $ svn co https://kibadock.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/kibadock/trunk/kiba-gaim-plugin kiba-gaim-plugin
    $ svn co https://kibadock.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/kibadock/trunk/kiba-ephy-extension kiba-ephy-extension

    $ cd akamaru/
    $ ./autogen.sh –prefix=/usr –exec-prefix=/usr
    $ sudo make install
    $ cd ..
    $ cd kiba-dock/
    $ ./autogen.sh
    $ sudo make install
    $ cd ..
    $ cd kiba-plugins/
    $ ./autogen.sh
    $ sudo make install
    $ cd ..
    $ cd kiba-dbus-plugins/
    $ ./autogen.sh
    $ sudo make install
    $ cd ..

    Now it should be installed and working ok (Fingers crossed)

    Now all you have to do is type the following into a terminal and ur done

    $ kiba-dock

    Adding To Start-Up

    Most people want to have kiba-dock to start up with there computer - here is how

    Go to System -> Preferences -> Sessions and click add new under the start-up tab.

    Name = Kiba-Dock
    Command = kiba-dock

    ** If error occurs when running for the first time, just restart your PC after creating the start-up and it will be OK..
