Good day! This was my newest post after how many months. Well it’s good to be back! *_- . I’ve been using Ubuntu on Windows using Wubi on an on-off basis. I’m still not really sold out into using Linux all out. Searching through Google for another Linux distro, I stumbled upon this website http://www.elivecd.org/.

It has a website title that says “Where Debian meets Enlightenment” making it interesting. After watching the video on the main page, man, the showcase rocks! I’ll be downloading this distro to try it out soon and I can’t wait what this distro have to make me go “oooh” and “aaah”.

“For every OS there is an equal and opposite, ReactOS”.

In this case, it is the Windows® operating system that’s getting the equal and opposite OS. ReactOS, by the way, is a free operating system written completely from scratch, that aims to follow the Windows® architecture from the hardware level right through to the application level.

My first twit from my phone just got through! Hooray! No gateways, no special twitter clients, just my plain old built-in browser and my service provider’s per kilobyte GPRS connection. I just logged on to http://m.twitter.com using my phone’s browser and then it was just a breeze from that point on.  This calls for a celebration!

Woes to Hidden Website Elements
Ok, so I still have a couple of things to say so please bear with me. This website is unbearably loading reallllly slow sometimes and I wonder why that is. One time, when I visited this site, I noticed that there was a momentary flash or flicker when the home page loads. My first guess was that there must be hidden elements loading in my website.

I was kind of busy lately and writing this post is a break for me. Whew. During the past week while I was surfing for tech news, I came by a forum with topics about almost anything.
