So I went on and took a backup with a neat tool and formatted the thing and installed Hardy after giving Indiana a test drive in my computer, which is, by the way, doingwell these days.
Now I'm back in Hardy and setting up everything after the backup. I like Hardy a lot! Until now I really appreciate the responsiveness generally in the system, the gnome-system-monitor, the new permissions enforcement in admin apps under gnome and the totally painless install of 3d drivers and other apps. Hardy is rocking really hard!
And after drinking a refreshing and tasty Cola after dinner I just had to make it part of this post.
It seems that some people in Africa have gotten together to produce sugar as the raw product for production of a new fair trade Cola which guarantees some more cash to the farmers involved; the contact person seems to be local and have direct contact with the farmers in Malawi and Zambia. Here in Oslo it's available in many places and, well, I had to give it a try!
I read something about Ubuntu Trading in the box of Ubuntu Cola and as the website was not up for the world to see I got the cache to look at (thanks to google). I found out that it is not related to Ubuntu (as in GNU/Linux) at all but, in a way, it maybe related to the Ubuntu philosophy, judge yourself. Ffor better or worse, it does definitely run on ubuntu.
All in all a good brand, in my opinion the marketing is somehow misleading, but still a good initiative which all Ubuntu related "products" (as in "I am because we are") can drive synergies forward from.
Last, but not least a pic:
Thanks for reading.
TuX is the new black worlwide!
Well, I have earlier stated that I would post this... Now i got the time:
First a video (yes taken in the Galapagos islands in Ecuador, is in youtube too):
Back in '97 I used to work with web design. I did all sort of things in Flash, html, css, javascript and it lasted until the year 2000.
I have really missed making things for the web, this I realized when taking a course last semester in Hypermedia and doing a semester work:
For that project I went back to Dreamweaver under wine, but after trying it for a couple of days I just didn't feel at home anymore; so I went on and used gedit, nano or any other available text editing tool I could grab and was happy with it. The game has really changed since my experience in the late '90s: SVN repository for changes in the project, XHTML 1.0 Strict compatibility for all content, PHP and databases, XML like HTML based files for content, CSS for layout and design purposes are all expected standards today.
All in all the project turned out real nice, but most of all showed the power of FLOSS today in practice!
I started working fulltime at Captive last year as a tech consultant and marketing responsible. My main goal is to get the company to focus on products which are directly correlated with the other stuff we do (Networking, Security, Servers & Desktops) and develope new ones that we can sell them as part of our offerings.
So this semester, as I am taking a course in entrepeneurship here at the University of Oslo, I decided to work on a project to see if one of these new developed products could be delivering web 2.0 sites (interactive web sites, where sharing and collaboration are standards) to our customers. The main idea is to use web developers and designers from South America and use the best from FLOSS software regarding CMS and Wiki systems as our standardized base.
I got an interview in the student newspaper at Uni because of this work... Now it's time to get it done. A few minor details remain to be cleared up in this regard but I'm confident we will be ready for the start in October this year...
Stay tuned.
