All done!
By Praval on May 20, 2008 in Journey, Tech
It was the first time that I was home after the last exam and 24 hours hence. Yes, I am still home, confused amidst thoughts – what next, what first?
Some things which I could add to my agenda are:
- A visit to the passport office.
- Getting my car serviced.
- Getting the needful done for the mini project lab: Yeah, practical exams start off on 28th!
- Fixing an appointment with a doc.
- and many more…
Last night saw me meddling with Ubuntu Hardy. I’ve recently got my internet plan changed to night unlimited. It rocks! I get 6 hours of free downloads each night, with a speed of anything between 100-200 kBps! That’s around 1.5 -2 GB of download in a night! It’s time to download some movies, documentaries, etc. using my demonoid or idesir accounts ![]()
I have already installed azureus for Linux on my PC and its cute little scheduler plugin which allows me to schedule my downloads to the allotted free time slot! I did read that azureus hogs a lot of memory due to java, but with 1 Gig of RAM, I find it pretty OK! And with port forwarding, the speed is awesome!
More to come soon!
