Mobile and Linux Update

Mobile and Linux Update

This is a bombshell in parts!

Let me thank the Linux Fan Base for visiting my blog site with updates from 2010.

Hope you bear with my blunt (with lot of Typos) approach.

Thank you very much for Gentoo (its name comes from penguins which I love, had seen them once in deep south of New Zealand) users and particularly the PaguaLinux. users

I am no longer Black (I hate black and I cannot visualize pink balls in snooker -colour blind to that shade of colour) Terminal Guy and only use Graphic Install.

But the Terminal with su was fun and absolutely fast execution.

Now I am into little things like mobile cellphone (still learning the background tuning stuff) use and tricks of downloading on the go (tapping into Wireless Zones in my town, I won’t call it a technical city).

Few guide lines.

1. Beware Fire Hazards of cheap batteries (including iPhones and Samsung) and imitation stuff from China.

There are lot of Android cellphones much cheaper, better and faster.

2. Buy a good power bank for use on the go.

3. Use a computer PC U.S.B ports (bit slow but one can sleep while it is on without a fire hazard) for charging.

There is no charging while on the go.

No wall plug charging facility in the city.

4. Do not update the operating system, if it is doing the donkey work and running smoothly. But use a software (many free downloads but with advertisement hacks) that suits your phone for cleaning up.

5. Use a cheap smart watch for calling and save your phone batteries and one can have Bluetooth connectivity.

6. Buy a USB Hub with at least six plug in ports.

7. Have a spare phone for complete privacy and a public (general use and testing software) phone for donkey work.

8. I kept the most hazardous part for the last comments.

All the mobile providers have poor servers to serve you.

They are chockablock with cheap Rs.100/= customers and very slow to serve you with data connection.

I can recommend only Dialog Ceylon for good customer service but they have no outlets away fro the city.

Customers come even from Badulla and please do not try to break the queue.

Be polite to the guys working overtime.

Note I avoided girls, they are sweet talking but doing nothing bombshells.

Guys do the donkey work (the hacker type with wizardry).

They do not wear a smile but good in their technical skills.

9. I cannot think of a number nine but dedicate that to my PC which had done donkey work for over 15 years. I would download 10 GiB in no time while writing an academic stuff (Article which nobody reads. That is why I blog).

Linux distributions long time ago and movies lately.

Problem or the downside is, I use up the data limit and my wife has to use Dialog for communications.

I use the Ethernet for donkey work and just downloaded the PrimeTux4 (French), kids program iso with lot of Linux games.

Tux Racer is my favourite!

10. If you can avoid a cellphone, do that by all means.

Enjoy a good old chat and a beer with a buddy.

Or a cinnamon tea at sky high restaurant.
