My mom made a great discovery on my laptop today. I had go to prayers and my mom wanted to use the laptop in which there was no mouse connected. She took the USB mouse and tried to connect it first in the ethernet port then the eSATA port. It worked!

When i returned home and saw this, my heart nearly stopped to see that. I thought the port was broken. But the mouse was working fine. *sigh

Conclusion:

1. eSATA ports on your laptop can accomodate USB devices to make them run faster especially external storage devices. 

2. Most discoveries are made by mistakes

3. Don’t underestimate your mom!

I inserted a CD of Microsoft Office 2007 on Kubuntu and ran setup.exe through Wine. 

Ms Office is unusable on Linux right now. But it could work in a near future. There is hope

I spent my most of my childhood times doing mainly these 3 things:-

1. Playing Lego

2. Cycling
3. Playing Seven Kingdoms!

Seven Kingdoms is a Real-time Strategy (RTS) game. You are a king and and you have to build your empire so as to conquor the world.

However, the game has a slight issue. It can’t go in Full Screen mode or even maximize it. It would only play at a resolution of 824 x 645. It kinda spoils all the fun as you can scroll freely around.

sudo apt-get install 7kaa

A beautiful girl smiled at me today. I said to myself:

WTF is wrong with her?

Here are more pictures of the drying water at Mare aux Vacoas. Here’s a link to the first post in this series.
