Being First and Last

In the Python programming test, i came first in my class with a score of 33/40. In fact, i should have got 34 but my ‘B’ was confused for a ‘D’ in the multiple choice questions due my my bad handwriting.  

However, in the first 2 assigments of COMS 1010 (Communication Skills), i got the least marks among all my friends:

Portfolio: 12/20

Speech for special occasion: 2.5/10

“Upgrading” to Kubuntu 11.10

After i downloaded the Kubuntu 11.10 .iso file and made a startup pendrive with it. I thought when i would boot with it, it would offer me an “Upgrade” option like Ubuntu does but it didn’t. I installed afresh and overwrite onto my existing installation.

After the installation completed, i noticed my desktop remained almost the same. I opened my torrent client and all my torrents continued to download normally.
All my installed programs were gone though. However their data files were still present. After i re-installed them, they continued working as before. The mail client was not working at all. It would just crash just after i launch it.
My sound was not working sometimes. The desktop would crash often.
I decided finally to wipe my linux partition and install afresh.

I just discovered the Netbook Desktop. So far, i’m enjoying it. Here’s a screeny!
