Morning Glory Clouds

I stole this from APOD. For those of  you dont know APOD, its Astronomy picture of the Day. The website is maintained by NASA and Michigan Technological University. Each day they upload an astronomy picture and a short description of the picture. For those space enthusiasts out there its worth checking it everyday atleast u can find something to put in your blog :).  Read more about these clouds here.

Karmic Koala

This is the so called scientific name of Ubuntu 9.10. Installed it yesterday. Wow its really fast !!. The shutdown happens in less than 5 seconds and boots up in around 25 seconds on my Toshiba E105-S1602 laptop. Canonical claims its faster than windows 7. Well im waiting for my windows 7 DVD from Toshiba. I will have a better comparison then.  Oh the xterm background is white and the font is black by default. I dont know whatz the motivation behind that and i hate terminals with white backgrounds (Well the blog is white background ;). Its not good for mother nature either as white pixels eat up more power ;). Other than that Koala comes with ext4 file system, GRUB 2.0. I have to read about whatz new with these. Im playing around with the bundled softwares. More on this later.

My First blog

I dont know what to write. Lets start with some rubbish. I Googled a lot to find a catchy name for my blog. But i ended up in a stupid name "gi-random" which is very well my own creation. Dont ask me what it means. Of course the first two letters are from my name and the random is to add a bit of techieness.
