finally, the new ubuntu 8.04 (hardy heron) released today,
since i’m already on beta and RC version, i don’t think there will be a lots of upgrade.
anyhow, i still don’t have my chance to do that since there’s problem with internet connectivity here. as far as i concern, the wifi is ok, it’s just the gateway seem to be disconnected from outside (internet) world within every +/-5 minute. i have no idea what’s goin on, may it has something to do with ISP (jaring) or… it’s UTM, you know.. world class university..low class infrastructure…and my wild guess would be those lazy UTM’s staffs/workers just don’t-give-a-damn-to-fix-it!

there’s hardy heron release party everywhere in Earth today and it would be great if i could attend one of those. it also can be greater if it being held in UTM. anyhow, i repeat again.. it’s world class university. student need to study, not wasting time playing with hardy, or else their pointer will dropped badly.

but but.. i really-really hope someday FSKSM students can organize something like OSS talk, i-hack competition, security conference and many more events (related to their field of study of course)

seriously man, i need internet right now.. all my lecture notes are in e-learning!
oh ya, tomorrow is my numerical method test, wish me a luck ;)

thank god the internet is stable while i’m posting this, but i’m pretty sure it wont last more longer 15 than minute.
ah…world class university konon..

added : actually, i’m already running ubuntu hardy heron a couple days agoo. i thought real release mean there gonna be a “final upgrade” but i was wrong though…so what’s next version of ubuntu? hahaha

i just look at my carry mark for data structure and i got not-so-good mark because of 2 assignment missing. which mean i lost 10%!!!! i’m wondering how my lecturer check my mark. all my group member got their mark but i’m not. much more wierd when i’m the group leader… lol wtf

look like i have to go to fsksm and check it with my lecturer by myself… huh!

finally i’m finished updating my hardy heron to latest release and to be honest it’s awesome.

Almost everything is new and totally different from previous release,the Gutsy Gibbon. I have a smooth operating system that running at a very minimun power and memory usage, with a pleasent eye-candy effects called compiz.

i bet vista cant do those effects without hogging 50-70% of your 1GB memory.

plus, the new hardy theme based on murrine engine look good. still i wish i could change the default colors since i prefer black because orange killing my eyes

now here come the best part

what i like most is the new gvfs, now i can transfer data through lan network and external harddisk faster. i dont know what’s the trick behind this but the transfer speed increased extremely.

copying file from my roomate computer (windows xp) never be faster than this on Gutsy or windows

it goes the same when i uploaded my stuffs to my friend computer. well, i use their computer as my storage since the got plenty of free spaces. he he he..

and finally, the speed of my internet connection also increased, actually this is the main reason why i stop using windows. linux seem to have good connection handling. eventhough the wifi strength only about 70% yet it still not disconnecting me from the net. and this is what i got when downloading files from rapidshare
