Puppy Linux
Barry Kauler was the Puppy Linux creator.
He is a dog lover and retired soon after 64 bits came into existence.
There are guys who activated Puppy after Barry and 64 bit versions are available now.
I will update this piece later.
Ready for posting.
Go on!

Worse Soup of My Life in Ceylon
Monday, March 4, 2024
MobiTel is Superb
I have had few issues with Dialog customer service.
A male guy working in Dialog cheated me and used two of my SIMs and helped one of his friends to use my SIMs not in use.
Worse is he used my current account card to pay his friend.
When I noticed this I went again to Dialog and I recovered my disowned Sims.

Becoming a Publisher Using Linux Utilities
Becoming a Publisher Using Linux Utilities
I have had a crash course of writing.
Four books after two year lapse and ideas not opinions flowing at a tremendous speed.
I have almost stopped blogging and if I do not sit down and write them, the very next day, I have forgotten all.
I use forgetting as a method of encouraging new ideas.
Ruminating on the same old opinion is not a good thing for a writer.
One gets bogged down mentally or mental block ensues.
I was down with myocarditis on the first dose of vaccination but thankfully my mental faculties remained intact and that made me to go through the rest I needed, since there is no treatment for myocarditis which may even end up in death.
Initially it was fear but then reality dawned on me that uncertainty principle in stock market will fit in nicely with life events as well.
It was not fatigue that made me to go into hibernation.
Having worked 24/7 schedule all my life as a medical person, I needed a long rest, especially because the demise of our dog Zimba put me down low.
He was wonderful companion and I may not write a book about him which was more personal agony than glory.
(In fact I have written a book about three Ceylonese -afterlife- dogs and all three now are in Heaven and one as the Maha Brahma's assistant)
This book will be published soon when I go back to Ceylon for a break.
I have for the past 20 years, dissociated with medical activities and I pretend that I was a PhD guy and not a proper medical guy.
Having worked my last years in the university, that ploy worked very well for me and gave me time for blogging, if not writing.
The corona virus pandemic was the correct antidote and I stopped drinking and loitering in the city, aimlessly in book shops, the coffee and tea shops which were mushrooming in a tiny city of Kandy for foreign tourists.
Unfortunately my classmates are either living on medical drugs and are deprived of alcohol due to their medication or have become alcoholic addicts.
I hate the cellphone and have almost switched off the land phone for good.
The telephone only brings bad news, never good and the rest is gossip.
That made me to write pretty or petty books on alcohol, publishing of books, fact files void of fat, mother nature and about 30 unique guys I, have met in my life including guys doing gem business, union activities, loafing, mountaineering, fishing, vendors, farmers, jokers, petty office assistants, librarians, sportsmen and many more.
Unlike the young days my memory is failing and I have to jot down ideas, in a tiny note book, which I found in New Zealand 30:years ago. and never used but kept it like a souvenir.
I did not bring this book to Australia and I am going back to collect it and enlarge upon the ideas jotted down.
It has all the passwords recorded for posterity.
It has come handy and me forgetting PIN numbers of all the bank accounts made me to write down all the lengthy passwords for my email, except one email (which I remember well due to frequent use), I have forgotten all the other passwords.
I cannot log into CreateSpace account with one email which I have many books published.
Even though, I can some how get to my email by circuitous methods, I cannot get to the bookshelf of mine at CreateSpace.
Finally, I got round of that hurdle and here I am publishing again.
I begin to hate digital books with ugly black and white typeface.
For a long time I used Google's fonts with color to add color to my blog pieces.
I have resisted buying a Kindle and my tablet battery has gone dead and it cannot be replaced.
I have collected quite a number of Nokia cellphones and a tiny cellphone (this I have disposed) for calls for Taxi or sending SMS and had a problem with responding to the Amazon's text messages for verification of my book page.
I have many SIM cards (15 in number, I guess a CIA guy do not have that many) for my various activities and have to use at least two of them to coordinate my writings.
The keyboard is a problem and cursor point of the mouse jumps recklessly to unwanted places and editing correction to this entry took more than an hour.
Thank You Amazon, the spell checker did a good job highlighting the mistakes.
Life is getting complicated and paranoid in this modern age,
The pandemic has made lot of guy/girls becoming paranoid.
It is not an evolutionary trend but a bizarre malady of modern age!

Basic Needs of a Computer User can be Packed in 800MB of Puppy Linux-Vanilla Pup 9.3.3
Well, well, I did clean Install of Vanilla Pup in my hard disk using 512MB of space.
This was something I used to do ages ago (now forgotten) but I followed the instructions and within 30 minutes my 4GB USB can be removed and any thing I do will be saved on the 38GB Fat 32 Partition.
I used my name for the sfs file which is 532MB the size of the EFI partition in this computer.
This USB stick has all the Puppy Linux distribution Isos and other Linux distributions that I have downloaded to Test.
Yes, miracles can happen with Puppy Linux!
I am glad to hear Barry Kauler is active in developing three wheeler Moped (it is not the correct phrase).
What is good about Puppy is (this an old edition) it mounts all your hard disks partitions at boot time.
It does not do any damage at all to rest of the partitions.
The basic steps in System can be enumerated in 10 Steps.
1. File Manager (lot of names for this)
2. Terminal emulator (many in existence to command line instructions)
3. Process Viewer
4. Default Browser, usually Firefox
5. Default Text editor for coding
6. Default Paint Program
7. Default Word Processor usually AbiWord or LibreOffice.
8. Puppy Setup
9. Edit Tray
10. Help
11. Eleven is Exit
All this can be done on RAM and if you are happy YOU can install it.
That is what I did today.
We are all at Sea when Clouding
We are all at Sea when Clouding
Even though I am very supportive of Cloud Computing as a concept and also would not like to be negative in response at least in the early stages of implementation, I have at least 3 reservations.It is time for me to pen them now since necessary precautions can be implemented from the very beginning of its general use.
1. Number one is as regard to children
Somebody else (not the adults intended) may use netbook (in this case a child) under the pretext of the owner, who is an adult.
When we design Cloud Computer Atmosphere that should be within intranet not widely link to the internet as primary precaution in school environment.
Arkane Linux
Arkane Linux
Arkane Linux is an Arch based distribution.
Unlike ArcoLinux which I have a copy installed its its installer is bit dicey, so I did not try installing it.
It probably wants to take over the hard disk.
However, included application does not have even Gparted.
I am going back to GostBSD as my carry over USB distribution since I know it can boot by old Laptop in an emergency.
Paranoia and www.writeclique.com
Paranoia and www.writeclique.com
This regarding an incident with British Council Library in Kandy.
The center is there teaching English but Library is no more.
They (my blog pieces at www.write.clique.com) were bit humorous and the basic ingredients were satire.
Incidentally Google has gone parnoid if one writes alternative view about "Coronavirus Saga".
Unedited part is below.
Unfortunately for me, out of the top ten, my writings (I was involved in initial setup) filled the top eight and the administrator got paranoid and blocked my name.
I still continued to write (very little traffic) in spite of noticing the administrators handiwork, since my idea was not to reach the top ten.
They used my birthday as a discriminator.
Who says there is no discrimination in web hosting and social media.
But my writings were there for anybody to read in spite of blocking the rating.
I have collated them and recently deleted 75% of the original writings from that site.
Some of them are now in digital output for posterity, in a book form.
This preamble is necessary since when one opens one’s heart and not the mind in the Web, one has to be prepared for insults and discrimination.
Sadly now governments and secret agencies are doing things that one would not suspect 30 years ago.
Technocrats and not the real hard working guys who fill these posts and operating from air conditioned cubicles and are scared to be on the beat and foot.
Invariably paranoia develops.
So I think it is necessary to have a bit of paranoia when one enters the Web with email to begin with.
The instruction for good password is in another piece!
How does one have a good password?
How one can remember a password with 14 to 16 characters (what banks employ now for an
account, with the help of computers)?
To begin with one has to train the brain to remember.
I have a suggestion elsewhere (under web etiquette) that I do not want to repeat here.
