Scribefire: Fire up your blogging

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.

I google around and found some people comment to use ScribeFire that just add-on to firefox browser and is very convenience to use. 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. It have all the features like what you need in WLW and I didn’t find any difficulty on find the function.

The installation is very straight forward as it only install as plug-in, file download size also pretty small. So give it a try today…

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.

In old days, when a new born baby reach 1 month old and in Chinese tradition will celebrate Fullmoon for the baby. 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.

Even now a days this Fullmoon celebration have extended not just to our friend but even to our office colleague that did not manage to come by and just purchase a Fullmoon gift pack from Delights Fullmoon that have offered such packages to saves time and able to celebrate this cherish moment with all friends.

Best thing is all the packages suite for everyone to consume as is it Halal and they do have vegetarian packages as well, so if you have a new born baby on the way you can have a look on their website.

I was wonder who proposing the usage of the so call blower that Alam Sekitar is using to blow all the leave from the road to the drain (long kang) or road side. It was such an wasting of resource where hiring a bunch of people just doing that and it does not make any help but creating problem.

They not just blowing the leave into the drain but others rubbish as well causing the drain clog end up all the drain water stuck there and mosquito starting to breed there. If the area is good enough to have another bunch of people to clean up the drain then its still ok but why need to split a simple job into 2 group of people doing it.

I really have not idea what is the guy who proposed think? ….

Wasting our money for nothing, not even creating a better living for us….

I was looking ways to share 2 pc’s with a single keyboard & mouse, but not mean using the KVM switch that sharing the keyboard, mouse and monitor where still having 2 monitors. I need this because from time to time, we need to do workshop where I need to show something on the demo pc and slide on the notebook.

Currently what I do is, I VNC to the demo pc to control the keyboard & mouse movement. As you all know that when using VNC the screen resolution will affect the size of the screen where you need to scroll up and down or left to right thus very annoying. Previously I got to know a software call Synergy that works on multi platform but I’m having trouble configuring it end up giving up.

Today I try again to configure this piece of software and manage to get it up as the documentation was a bit confusing for the first time until you try it out then you will know. Here I wrote a simple steps to help out if you need to use this software and the current version that I download is version 1.3.1,

Recently Nokia released the firmware version 30.0.011 on 29-06-09 and I just update my phone this morning. Not much changes that I notice on the interface or features added, below is the screenshot of the updated firmware version.

But I notice that the touch screen sensitivity does improve a lot and also the speed of application launching is much faster now. There are news that v31 will be going to launch quite soon with more features and enhancement and I would recommend to upgrade to this firmware release as i feel this release have much more improvement then previous version especially on performance and stability.

Sorry to all readers as this month was very busy month so did not find any free time to updates on my blog.

I’ll try to find free time to do some updates to my blog, stay tune…
