Ubuntu 10.04 Released

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

it has been long since my last post but today Ubuntu 10.04 was officially released and available for download with lots and lots of new features ...the sad news is iam still using 9.04 and i dont have any time for a clean install due to study and assignments :(

which reminds me about a program that i use to manage my todo lists and i wanted to blog about but unfortunately there was no time for it either ...

Getting Things Gnome is a small program to manage todo lists and tasks

pretty list , isn't it ? :)

just found that it will be getting an integration with online services like remember the milk which is great..

any way enjoy Ubuntu :)

Me , My Friends and a Hard Disk Drive :)

we ( me and 5 more friends )  had to prepare a presentation for our college about How Hard Disks work ,  the subject it self isn't that hard but the problem was in TeamWork , how can all of the team members cooperate  in the same project effectively without wasting time in non-useful arguments.

At the beginning we have faced a lot of problems but finally we managed to get over it by avoiding -as much as we can- to be like one of those people.

• people who don't do any thing.
• people who want to do every thing using their own method or style.
• people who like to manage the team but they actually work less than they talk. :D
• people who are used to be followers, waiting for orders to start doing something

however we managed to make something that is not bad for students in the first year.

you can Download the report from here and the presentation from here

by the way ... we also had a lot of fun :)
