Fedora 9 “Sulphur” released

Good news to all Fedora fans. Fedora 9 codenamed “Sulphur” is out.

The new release comes with quite a few new features. To start off. Fedora 9 runs on the latest 2.6.25 kernel. There’s a new package management system included called “Packgeit” which uses Yum for it’s backend. Gnome Desktop 2.22 and KDE 4.03 are the desktop managers to choose from. Firefox 3 Beta 5 is the browser of choice this time and to top it all the new opensource version of Java “OpenJDK” is part of the new features. See the full summary here.

Feel like taking the new Fedora 9 “Sulphur” for a spin? Well, you could grab the install DVD/CDs iso files via bittorrent or direct download. The other alternative would be to download the Gnome Live DVD or the KDE live DVD. Go to the download page.

My Streamyx is screwed again

My Streamyx is screwed again. Actually it’s been like that for a month now. The speed is nominal in the mornings but after 8pm the speed drops to 1/4 the normal. My last bandwidth test came up with 104.4 Kbits/download and 290Kbits/upload. Looks like someone’s overselling bandwidth again, you think so? Or could it be a simple port overload?

I reported the case last week and was assigned a case and an engineer. They call me up 1 day later to verify. I said no one showed up, they gave me a number to call. I called and was informed that the engineer should have already attended to me. Further investigation revealed that the engineer never showed up, he excuse was “there were too many students around the exchange box for me to work on it”, literally. That was it, I never heard back.

Today, couple of days later I called Streamyx again. To my surprise the agent said my case was resolved and closed. I said “NO, it’s still da same”. We went on again with the normal chat till she finally logged a new case and assigned a new engineer to the case. Also, I was advice to email some screen shots.

See for yourself,

Please look into my issue. Th speed is normal in the mornings but every night the speed drops to a pathetic rate. I’ve included screen shots for your reference. It looks like a load issues, are your junctions overloaded? Please tell me no…..

The engineer assigned to my initial case never showed up but closed my case. Is this how you support your paying clients? I know I have not other provider to turn to but please don’t take advantage of your privilege.

The girl I spoke to earlier was really nice and assisted me well. I hope I will get the same support from your team.

I was also looking to upgrade my line to 4Mbps but they told me “port full” haa haa, I live in the city and there are no ports?

Anyways please fix my issue, I appreciate your quick response.

I just want my promised bandwidth. I am a paying customer, is this too much to ask?

Clearing out your tray

This the third time this week.

I love McDonald burgers, explains the few pounds I’ve gained but that’s besides the point. I’ve been going there for lunch for the past 3 days. I’m attending an Oracle training and McD’s the closest fast food joint available.

I have a habit of clearing out my tray into the designated bins after my meals. But somehow I tend to receive weird looks and the ocasional laugh from the patrons there. What’s so funny?

Wait, I get it!! “I pay money, why must I do it myself?” Well my friend, sure mcDonald’s staff will clear your leftover trays for you but my question is, do you really understand the meaning of fast food?

You order, your eat, you clear and then you leave making way for the next patron in line. That’s what comes to my mind. Fast isn’t it?

The staff are not there just to clean up after you but instaed assist you. If you messed the table with sauce they wipe it for you, if you spilled your drink they clean it up for you and now you expect them to clean up your trays too? It’s fast food, you should make way for other patrons to come and enjoy their fast meal.

I’m sorry if I ofended anyone but this is how I feel, it’s anoying to see how ignorent we can become just by saying “I paid”

It’s such a simple act, surely we can do it right? We life in a siviliced world so stop laughing cause the jokes on you!!

Torrents: Skate Videos

..

I torrent quite abit and I know you do too. Thought it would be cool to share some of the torrents I find interesting with you.

Back in school I was part of a skate crew, this was back in Cameron Highlands. Best time of my life.

If I remember right, I went through 5 decks. Powell, Mapel, Shortys and World Industries, Blind tires, Panther bearings and  not to forget, my DC, ES, Emerica and Globe shoes.

Good old days, it’s been a couple of years and I’ve put on a few pounds. I was fit, light, fast and full of energy. Wish I could turn back time, haa haa….

Anyways, here’s 2 skate videos I found interesting. Antiz the Z Movie and  411VM Skateboarding Volume15 Issue1.

Hope you enjoy them.
