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.
