After my puupy linux experiment, one of my friends called me up and suggested this new linux distribution called gentto. I was very new to it, but i just downloaded the content via torrent. The files come in an array of sizes and i was unsure what was the one which suited my ideally.

As always gentoo is open source and is highly customizable. The least configuration being just 138 MB, it promises performance and speed. It is also suited for developers, although the website is not convincing enough to download. When i visited the ubuntu site, i was forced to love it, and i downloaded the OS immediately. this was not the case here. Live CD is also supported.

Support open source!!

The national finals rodeo has been a absolute entertainer for all those people who love adventure. Those who love horse riding and such adventurous stuff will never miss out and will make their presence to the crowd. This is an annual event that happens every year and an array of events are scheduled every year. There are over seven events and one exclusive event for women. One of the crowd favorites is the steer wrestling.

Getting the NFR Tickets early in the year is important as the tickets get sold off very earlier than the scheduled opening of the event. Tickets are priced according to the position in the stadium and they offer a lot of promise for those who can afford luxury tickets. Even if you are not in the money, you can still get a good deal for $65 only.

People all over the world travel to this venue just for the event and they usually stay for the whole week. In order to please these visitors, a whole week package is also available. It will be cost effective and extra fun for these people.

The venue for this event will be las vegas, Nevada. it is a major crowd puller and many people get disappointed at the start of the event without having tickets and hence it is always nice to get the tickets in advance.

Linux is great, KDE adds to the style. While KDE has been the operating system that has served millions across the world including developers at even google, a newer version just promises more.

Ten days back, the new version of KDE, KDE 4.0 was released. Early birds who have tried KDE, report that it is very cool, and a bit rough. They also commented that the KDE 4.o was working fine and did most pof their jobs, while it is still rough.

What is more joy is that KDE is also developing a new office suite, similar to Microsoft office and Openoffice. If you had guessed it right , the suite is called koffice. It is under construction and it is calling for develepors world wide.

You can download KDE (latest stable release must be identified)

People who follow tennis, could not have missed the on going Australian open. This is the only Grand Slam that happens in the Asia Pacific, with the other grand slams being played at France, England and The United States of America.

One unique thing about the Australian Open is that this surface is artificial surface, and hence needs immense practice to play.

The Australian open website has been designed very nicely and the layout is very appealing. Access to videos and photos, as well as standings are very much available at a single click.

Software for the Hawkeye at the match is provided by IBM, which also provides software for the French Open and the Wimbledon.

A couple of days back, i was having coffee with a friend, a developer himself. An ardent anti-microsoft developer, he works primarily on Linux. It was during a conversation, i understood Opera was not a bad browser as i had assumed.

When it comes to just browsing the internet, i was always keen on using a light weight browser. Here is a list of browsers, which you could have heard little about. Other than the standard browsers, internet Explorer, FireFox, flock and safari, i never tried suing any thing else.

A few people have pointed out that

1. Opera is faster or as fast as firefox.

2. You wont miss the plugins, there are enough debugging plugins, analogous to firebug and web developer toolbar.

3. There are two versions for the mobile. Opera mobile and opera mini. The latter version is really light weight. I believe in using multiple versions, preferably the lighter ones while streaming videos.

Looks like, Opera was not advertised properly, you may want to look at opera features.

My friend also pointed out the create search feature of Opera, where it is possible to integrate the search engines and customize it as possible.

So, as long as you are not using Internet Explorer, it is OK.

I found this picture some where, i do not know where, credit : please claim!

This is a great idea to bloat up the countries where the population is very high and looks alarming for a few countries. Take a look at great Britan, India, Japan, China, they seem to be bursting out, really!!

Click on picture to open in new tab. Looks like Americ and Africa are well in shape and asia is growing bigger and bigger everyday. These are developing and developed nations, where measures can be taken and executed quite easily. Australia also seems to be thin.
