Ultimate Edition 2.3

Favorite new operating system. This is based on Ubuntu but for legal reasons the Ubuntu name has been dropped – it is like Ubuntu on steroids – fantastic – now my main pc.

hotmail in linux

This is so insane. Is Microsoft trying to annoy all of it’s users so bad that they all leave? I have a Hotmail account that I have had for years (and I pay them for premium). While in Mandriva tonight I needed to check my mail and respond to one. Reply does not work – could not reply to an email in hotmail, tried Firefox and Konqueror. So then I checked some forum posts and many people have this problem after some update that Microsoft did to the Live Mail service – seeming to intentionally stop it from working in Linux. I have been irriated at Microsoft for several reasons and now this is a further reason to stop using all of their products. I am at the moment attempting to migrate fully away from Windows and into Linux. Now I am also going to migrate away from Hotmail. Thanks MS – way to go.
Sidenote on linux youtube

The other crazy thing is I can use Puppy Linux booted from a live cd on the same pc I am experimenting with the Ubuntu edition and the You Tube video playback works fine on Puppy. Guess if I want to use Linux I should just stick with Puppy – Props to the Puppy!!
Linux and YouTube
June 22, 2009 at 2:07 am (Linux, internet)
This is driving me nuts. I keep trying to give Linux a chance but it never works right for me. I have tried using Dynebolic – unable to get you tube videos playing and now I just installed the latest Ubuntu 9.04 desktop edition – guess what? they won’t play on this either. I installed all the plugins it kept prompting me for and still no luck. I get the preview image of a video but when I click to play it I either get locked up or sound with no picture, etc. but never do I get to actually watch a video – attempted you tube, google videos, and 2 other random video websites. XP still seems to be my main os that everything works right on. I am not sure if I want to be switching to Windows 7 when it comes out so I was attempting Linux again but this is terrible , also I thought maybe the pc had issues (hardware or something) so I rebooted into XP to check video playback. All the videos play just fine in Windows XP. Why is it so hard to have working flash video playback?
Gos Space – Vista and XP

Windows XP has been my choice of OS lately (past few weeks) as everything works in it and all the software and games I need to use work flawlessly. I was attempting to like and use Vista but my pc kept locking up on me – it’s not the hardware because I have XP on the same pc and it is just fine. I have also been kinda bored with Linux lately – keep downloading and trying but not finding anything real different, until now. This week I discovered GOS Space and Wanky!! this is HOT!! Finally something new and different and a lot of Flair! to boot.
Great job on this one – I am now using XP Pro on one pc and GOS SPACE on the other – nice mix. I don’t use my space as a social tool like the young folks do – but I have a music page on there and the GOS SPACE is setup for the MY SPACE generation – and it’s built on UBUNTU!! So you know it’s great.
Whoopee I am using linux again!
Puppy Linux 4.0

Tags: Linux, Puppy, Sound, YouTube
So I have been using Windows XP almost exclusively lately – past 2 weeks or so. I thought I would give Puppy Linux 4 a go on the lastest pc that I built. Video configured fine, internet configured fine, sound was not. I ran the sound configuration and got my woof – so good. But Wait, I installed flash really easily via the puppy package manager launched SeaMonkey and did my YouTube test – I had partitioned a 2GB Flash Drive with ext3 that I was going to use to save files while using the live cd – However – as usual when I go to play a YouTube video THERE IS NO SOUND!!! What is this crap? Test FAILED!!! Now I am about to repartition my Flash Drive so I can use it in XP and I am going back to my Windows XP system where everything works and where I will have sound in YouTube.

Virtual Computers
I have been testing a few of these virtual computers or web os systems lately. My favorite two at the moment are eye os and G.ho.st. With the latter being in the lead. I actually love eye os and was all set on using that one as my main virtual computer until I found g.ho.st. So now I am using both at the moment but mostly the g.ho.st. These are part of what is called Cloud computing where you can sync or store all of your files online instead of your physical pc. Also in g.ho.st I am signed up with Zoho so I can create and collaborate in online document creation and sharing. You get many other applications as well , everything from mp3 players, online radio, games, and more. And it has a nice looking desktop interface. It is pretty much alpha stage right now but everything seems to work rather well, the built in web browser is a bit slow and not all pages will load but they claim to be working on that right now.

Virus Problems

Where is everyone getting XP Antivirus? So many people are getting infected with this thing right now – you can call it a virus or malware or extortion who knows? Some people think Microsoft is trying to get them to buy it because it has the letters XP in it. Windows XP Service Pack 3 still seems to be causing problems right now. I am only installing this on new builds that are not AMD. Linux is finally easing it’s way into the mainstream – I don’t know if this is a good or bad thing. With the Asus mini laptops really catching on , now several other companies are going to release similar products with Linux. At this moment I bounce between Vista, XP, and 3 versions of Linux : Freespire, Ubuntu, and Puppy – they all work great for me but I tend to be in XP overall more than the others with Puppy being the next. I like Puppy because I can play with it – in a technical nature – and the boot time is extraordinary. There are multiple version of xp antivirus and vista antivirus 2008 , tons of something called Vundo, wow! These are crazy and they are popping up all over – tons of infections. One guy said it came right through an email message he was reading.
mystery search results

So I posted on WordPress the live one care post that I got no search results on from blog.com to see if it would show up in a Google search from WordPress. It did not. For some reason my HP Notebook post comes right up if you are looking for information on where that hard drive is. But, if you search for the Live One Care error 0X04601C01 in which I have a solution that trumps most of the others, you never find my post. This is truly strange.
