After a busy day, went to Bolgoda lake at 2100, to Suchetha's place for chat, sing-song and dinner. Met his parents and several other luggers, and had a really enjoyable evening to cap the day and put it to a close.
It is very nice to have such peaceful and quiet sorroundings to spend one's day through. It made me think that overcrowding maybe what is making people increasingly impatient and ill-tempered.
Someone should post some photos of the night on a Blog soon........

Gnome
I have just installed Ubuntu Linux. It has the GNOME desktop, which looks great! I like the colours too. Thanks to Ubuntu, now the number one in distrowatch, gnome will get a new lease of life. It has many technical and developmental advantages over KDE, in my opinion, and, I am not always right :-).
The Ubuntu install is not GUI, but is quick and interactive. After the initial start it does everything on its own. Oh! doesn't ask for a root password #@$.
Detected all the hardware with ease. Detected my USB pen drive and opened it on a folder! Sound works. It has a download manager and a neat app to take a snapshot of one's screen in system - take snapshot. The menus are well arranged and uncluttered. The colours/theme are also unusual and nice.
This is my favorite linux distro - to install.
My favorite live CD, is Puppy linux. Have puppy. Will travel.

Christmas ideas
I had this habit of jotting down the little ideas that suddenly pop up in one's head, when I was a student. I do not do that anymore, despite still having several ideas each day.
I was wandering if I should start this again? i have never met someone doing this, but know there are many who do. I used to jot hings down on bits of paper, which was a bad idea :-) Not recommended, as all those are lost. If I jotted it down in a small notebook, all would be still there for me even now, maybe.
I used my dictaphone too later, for a short period, but it is difficult to get the things in it into paper. Now we have digital dictaphones with software that will write it out for you on to the computer! A small handheld computer would nice too.
This is a good place to jot them down :-)
