NTFS-3G

Last sat I went to my friend place as I was getting external Flash for my E-300 CAM and we exchange some of the photography knowledge. He showing me some of his photo in his Macbook Pro and he ask me why can’t copy anything to his portable hard disk? I was wondering should be file system issue, so I ask him to show me and when the drive mounted it was only stated read-only.

Not sure if it really not support to do read-write on Mac as I was not a Mac user, but I manage to find the solution for him and thanks to Google that really useful search engine nowadays. The software that I found is NTFS-3G release by Tuxera and the installation was easy and fast.

TFS-3G is a stable read/write NTFS driver for Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenSolaris, QNX, Haiku, and other operating systems. It provides safe and fast handling of the Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7 file systems.

Blogging tool is depend on user preference where some like to use Window Live Writer as I was used to use it too when using on windows but then I’ve converted to use Ubuntu and most of the time at home i will be using Ubuntu so finding another blogging tools that is similar to WLW is not much or maybe i’m not know of it.

At any time you want to blog about website or just thought of something you just press “F8″ inside Firefox browser you will get the blogging tool directly.

Blueman for Ubuntu

I’m been trying to send photo from my phone to my laptop using the built-in bluetooth software that comes with Ubuntu 9.10 but it does not support receiving files, what a frustration. So i do a little google and found a tool that make wonders with just minor setting, the software call Blueman Bluetooth Manager.

Blueman is a GTK+ Bluetooth Manager.Blueman is designed to provide simple, yet effective means for controlling BlueZ API and simplifying bluetooth tasks such as:

  • Connecting to 3G/EDGE/GPRS via dial-up
  • Connecting to/Creating bluetooth networks
  • Connecting to input devices
  • Connecting to audio devices
  • Sending/Receiving/Browsing files via OBEX
  • Pairing

Blueman also integrates with Network Manager 0.7, so any Dialup/Network connections will be made available (via HAL) to Network Manager.

The installation is just way to simple and type the following and viola, you’re done.

sudo apt-get install blueman

I’ve not yet try using it to connect to internet via my 3G but will try it soon.

During the celebration the family members will prepare red egg (where the egg dip into red coloring liquid that consist of vinegar and red color to make the egg become red), pickled ginger, vinegar pork leg (with lots of ginger and vinegar) and Ang Koo kuih.

After the preparing all the foods, all the families member including all relatives will enjoy the foods will seeing the new born baby. Apart from this, the parent do gives red eggs and roast pork to friends or relatives that does not able to come on that day as to thank and cherish the happiest moment. As times goes by this tradition seem to be far left behind as city peoples are too busy with city life’s and usually does not do that but just order catering then invites all the relatives and friend to come by.
