I had fun playing with KDE4 on Dr. Puri’s laptop. So, what do I do? Make some space on my laptop and prepare to install Ubuntu using Wubi. That’s what I am going to do today.
Tada! Let’s hope wireless and webcam works. I have little hope on that Creative Webcam I have… Broadcom Wi-Fi? Again little hope. :)
Wi-Fi computing at Starbucks… Pretty funny.
I think Revver is better than YouTube with their web player layout and the quality of the videos… The code they give to embed is pretty clean too!
Just noticed that someone else around my new place has a wireless network…
This just proves that people today are so busy with their own lives that they have no idea who lives in the house next to theirs!
I guess I now need to use a harder password on my router to make sure I do not end up leaking my precious bandwidth to someone else…
How many of you guys can catch someone else’s wi-fi network sitting in your own house? :D
The thread on the Ubuntu Forum is around 102 pages long. The thing just did not work on Dr. Abhishek Puri’s Lenovo Machine.
We tried everything. It just did not work. Sad. My Dell apparently has a Broadcom Wi-Fi chip. I get a feeling that I would face similar problems on it.
Wireless Electricity is one of the things that could make our lives more convenient. A lot of work is being done on making this possible. WiTricity is one of the projects being worked on upon by MIT scientists.
However, if we look at the Wi-Fi connectivity of today… How funny it would be if your computer looses power and restarts because the connection was lost just for a second? ;)
I went to the New Delhi Railway Station today to pick dad and mom. Was my first time alone. Actually, things were better than I had expected. I found decent parking facilities in ‘VIP Parking’ facility which cost me 50 bucks (IGI Airport parking costs 60 bucks).
Found the platform I wanted to visit easily. Found dad and mom easily. The most surprising part was that I saw a banner claiming that the railway premises were Wi-Fi enabled! And there were no mentions of any charges. So, if you had a Wi-Fi enabled laptop or a PDA, you could have (I believe) surfed the net for free!
Anyone of you ever tested this free service at the railway stations of India?
that i am seriously considering buying myself a Centrino laptop and make the office Wi-fi. Would require serious investment but it just might be worth it.
