Track Record

Posted on February 10, 2011
Track Record 
 Track Record
We are a country very well known for very bad track records.
 
If we take the political fields and feedback we have from politics as a track record is a very vibrant democracy but unable to protect voting rights or for that matter exercise the vote intelligently.

We are even ready to sell it come elections and we have devised so many rackets involving voting and counting even the very old and ancient election commissioner does not know what really happens at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of the process and his report comes well pass the deadline and perhaps after his retirement.

I am not talking about that record.

Then we have the track record of sending the biggest contingent of athletes to neighbouring India for Commonwealth games and come back empty handed and the gold won was disgraced by a registered practitioner.

This is not about that tack record, too.

Then we have a veritable track record in cricket but not for the past 10 years.

We have an appalling bad record of selecting the correct players for a tournament except perhaps with some reservation of the squadron for this time. 
We love flying even if we do not understand any aviation matters and maps and routes except from Colombo to Katunayake, especially if it is paid by somebody else.

This is not about that track record and ticketing and seats for a flight abroad for the Cricket World Cup.

This is about the internet track record.

Even though, we have an enormous track record of downloading porn even from
Nanasalas in Temples this is all about torrent track record on Linux.

It goes on like this.

Since I had a very poor service contract with our local Telecom, I was forced to
turn to Torrents (the undercurrent of my exercise of the free franchise) by default and learn something about it.

Again there was nobody to tell me what exactly I should do and how to set about it.

So I did my own research having been trained to do research protocols for the university all alone.

And this is the track record of what I discovered from PCLinuxfullMonty’s K-torrent track.
 
PCLinuxFulMonty was my favorite, then. 
I do not use it now since it is slow to update.
 
It gives a nice graphic record of every file I download and its bits and pieces and chunks.

Unlike the Telecom it gives details to the nanosecond’s of time and I sit and watch the flow of events.

For Salix 13 download there were only about 10 seeders and not a soul from this part of the world.

One from USA. All the rest from European Community except that not a soul from UK (this is where we go to learn IT) and one Brazil and one Australian (Australia has embraced Linux well and I think ADIOS comes from there but not updated for the last 5 years or so).

For Fedora 14 the story is different.
There is nobody from Ceylon with so many Universities with IT training Centers all over the country.

There was absolutely nobody active (I am excluded by default being a leecher).

From India there were two souls.

Nobody from China or Hongkong or Taipei.

But come America there was plenty out there of about 250 seeders (mostly from universities) helping my download speed.

Rest were from European Community but England had only 3.

What is happening in IT industry and in Linux in this country?

In spite of all the capitalist views coming from USA it is the only country opening up to Linux.

Not only Universities but Federal Government and Stock Market, too.

These things were happening even before Obama came into the scene.

I do not give him the credit but I give that to people like
Richard Stallman (demigod of Linux) and his followers.

In Ceylon can we give any credit to anybody?
 
Yes we can (Obama saying)

There is one way doing it and testing it.

I will not do it for sure. 
That is guaranteed.

Steps are below.

Only 5 simple steps to Nirvana in Linux.

1. One has to buy a rackety old computer.
2. Install Linux
3. Start Torrent
4. Go to your favorite porn site
5. Start downloading

Activate the graphic screen and start watching like one day cricket "ball by ball commentary" of the downloads and the sites.

This will be revealing for the politicians.
 
By giving a free computer and a fast internet connection they can easily win the next election by activating all the vibrant porn sites.

Now I know without doing any test why my computer is going at a snail pace in downloading.

But I will persevere and get all the Linux updates due in December by next July.

Or go to Singapore and do some hits there.

I must wind up with thanks to Linux Guys and Girls of KDE.

Please improve K-Torrent to get
Indian spot-fixing (ball by ball betting) live for Cricket World Cup before it’s commencement day and let me know the details of, from where to download the distribution with the new K-Torrents.

Hurry up guys and girls that is where the money is for the next three months
