Two months ago, I wrote about bluetooth pairing in Ubuntu Hardy, specifically using a Nokia N95 and eeePC 900. Actually, the process I described could be applied generally with any supported bluetooth devices and Ubuntu Hardy PC.
Since installing Intrepid Ibex beta, I have been testing various functionalities for possible regression. This will help [...]
If you are visiting Clarke Quay, Singapore, check out the view from the carpark located from the fifth floor of “The Central” (a new mall above the Clarke Quay MRT station).
During the past few years, I was getting fairly convinced about the fallacy of the old refrain “Don’t complain if you have no constructive suggestion.” I called it the constructive counterargument.
I was reminded about this again when I recently read a blog post someone made to refute an argument. The subject in question [...]
Last week, a nasty gremlin stopped by and created havoc in my electronic charged life. It started when my PS/2 keyboard broke.
Now, if you are geeky enough to notice the particular phrase, “PS/2 keyboard”, rather than “keyboard” or “USB keyboard”, I should tell you now there is a good reason for this special mention. [...]
Here is how I got the Genius MousePen 8×6 tablet to work in Intrepid Ibex. I am reproducing some parts of the reference pages here, in order to consolidate the complete instruction in one location.
Background info and references
The following are the list relevant pages that helped getting it working.

In this fast pace world, people rushed through their lives, making busy excuses for the things they missed. “Being busy” is a common refrain, so common we failed [...]

Dual screens with NVIDIA in Linux
The NVIDIA restricted driver supports dual screens in two ways: “Twinview” or “Separate X screen”. Both have advantageous and disadvantageous.
Personally, I prefers “Separate X screen”, because I like to have both screens totally independent. This is especially useful with Compiz cube enabled: you could rotated the cube independently [...]
One of the reasons I am installing Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) beta is to examine the state of NVIDIA restricted driver. I am pretty sure this is of great interests to many people (like me) who have bought into NVIDIA camp in the past, when their Linux driver was (arguably) the best available.
Unfortunately, recent [...]
A quick look at installing Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex beta, which came out on 2th October 2008. I downloaded the desktop amd64 LiveCD. The familiar ubuntu orange brown is still very much alive in the new version. Some people like it, some people hate it, I don’t really care because customisations are [...]
