Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat is here!

October 10th, 2010 No comments

Of all the Linux Distribution available worldwide, Ubuntu is my favorite. :)

Why? Well here are some of the reasons why I love Ubuntu:

  • First of all, it’s free. No payment. As in, free!! Actually there are four freedoms:
    • Freedom 0: The freedom to run the program for any purpose.
    • Freedom 1: The freedom to study how the program works, and change it to make it do what you wish.
    • Freedom 2: The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor.
    • Freedom 3: The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements (and modified versions in general) to the public, so that the whole community benefits.

Sudo apt-get update

September 28th, 2010 No comments

.. it means update package list. *just a metaphor for what i’m about to do.

It’s been a while since i’ve posted something personal here in my blog. But, here’s an update about me:

  • I’m enjoying my academic life, and my life as a student assistant in my school. Someone said to me that what I took in this semester is an overkill. YES! It’s really an overkill. I can’t anymore count how many sleepless nights I’m having until now to finish everything.
  • CS 131 (Numerical Methods) – I think one of the hardest Math subject i’ve encountered. Why? For the simplest reason that everything has to be solved numerically. You have to iterate then iterate then iterate up to a certain limit but in the end everything is just an approximation of the real answer. Don’t be mistaken about what i said, i don’t hate the subject, and the subject isn’t really not that hard (just a little bit of Arithmetic, a little bit of Trigonometry, a little bit of Calculus, and a little bit, ofcourse, of Numerical Method).. It’s just so cumbersome to solve again and again, and if you missed something in the beginning.. Everything will be screwed up.. It’s fun actually, especially now that I’m really learning a lot from my professor. Runge-Kutta.. Hamming Corrector-Predictor Method.. KaczMarz.. Choleski’s Method.. and a lot more of them. Sounds really out of this world, but really they are good algorithms that help us to solve a lot of problems. Just a note to people who will take this in the future, It’s a sin to forget Taylor Expansion Series :D
