Explosions in the sky!

February 7, 2008

Looks like i’m headed for my next concert already. These guys are labeled as an:
“American instrumental post-rock band from Texas”
But I know these instrumental guyz are EMO maximus tearjerkers… hope I don’t drown by the end of the nite… all their fans just might end up crying a river… oh reminds me of Justin.. are you feeling the emo-ism already?…

Ok don’t worry.. they sound nothing like Justin.. phew.. should be good to watch these emotional enthusiast LIVE!

Ubuntu who?

February 7, 2008

Ever heard of it?? no… well it’s a freeware OS built on Linux. yup it’s freeware!!!
What drew me to it even more was the amazing graphics!
check out this video comparing it to vista and you will know what I mean:

So after that scrumptious visual effects show I just had to try it out. Sounded simple enough.. just needed to download and burn myself a bootable CD. I still wanted to keep my XP running. So I installed Ubuntu on a separate partition with the option to Dual Boot… which means I get to choose between operating systems at start up. Brilliant yeah!! not quite..

I realized that the graphics I saw in the video doesn’t come with Ubuntu. It’s a separate software all together. DAMMIT! so had to do more research and I found “The beryl project”. Oh dang! more things to install!

Anyway long story short, I had to install this Beryl-manager thingy which I would describe to you as some sorta theme manager software you would find for any Windows OS.

It took me around 25mins to install Ubuntu and I spent 4 hours trying to get Beryl up and running…  OK.. forgive me a lil cause I’m no Linux expert. Truth be told I don’t know nutz about linux… codes like these are Greek to me:

sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
sudo apt-get install beryl emerald-themes

anyway it took me awhile to figure out how to install stuff on ubuntu. (alt+F2) is the trick I tell ya…Finally got it working and now it’s pretty fun to fool around with. But I hope not to get bored too soon..

You wanna give it a try? You can go download the OS from : www.ubuntu.com

The shadow proves the sunshine

February 6, 2008

Switchfoot!!!!! well for those of you who ever skated before should know what it means!
(To switch your feet means to take a new stance facing the opposite direction)

What an awesome show!!… first time in Malaysia… Just had to go see them!

my fav phrase from the band “The shadow proves the sunshine”
needless to say the band kicked some major Freakin ass that nite!! and hats of to Love me butch and altered frequency as well.. both had a tight set…

I always thought myself of not being the fan type.. (those who go for concerts and shake their booty around clapping and so fort) but by the looks of the amount of concerts I’ve been attending lately.. I just could be one by now…

anyway for those of you who missed it… thank your lucky stars for Youtube… hahahaa
either way it’s still nowhere near watching them live…
