My Daily life with ubuntu

Image via Wikipedia

I am a .net developer with a guilty concessions,
I always dream to ride the Java, Open Source and Linux wave. But sometimes I used to make open source .net projects, or clone applications to .net platform for others. but for me that was never enough.

I loved .net, but not windows, this is not a .net article, but you can say I am an interoperability guy, I am on the boarders between different platforms, I am not a guru, but when it comes to interoperability, communication protocols and SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) I am your guy isA.

So, I took a great jump, I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my Toshiba Satallite pro since 6 month ago and I am willing to stick with it, I removed windows XP. I will not tell you I am very happy :? but I can tell you initially, it loads much faster despite I am having like Oracle Db, mySQL, Apache server services running, and bunch of IDEs Eclipse, MonoDevelope, CodeBlock... more, opening them is a breath on Ubuntu.

I love Ubuntu Software Center, Ubuntu official software repository similar to Apple appstore.

I must be fair, I had a pain installing my HP Deskjet d1663 Printer, before I knew the HP Linux Imaging & Printer :), it put a smile on my face. all you do install the script and run "sudo hp-setup" and you are all set. it is far more simpler, and far less hectic than installing on windows, all you need, is to get familiar with cups and Ubuntu administration tool, and patients.

more on development tools on Ubuntu.

Join me on my voyage.

The Cup Half Empty

One of the problems I face as I dive in the soical internet fiesta, is that I never seem to be good enough, alot of information, alot of action, and I find my self more of a passive reader, than a real contributor to the society, to the network.

It always seem I have not gone too far, did not read too much, did not know too many, maybe the network suppose to empower me, helping me to mend my faults & my gaps.

From the positive point of view. I suppose to be completed, complemented, and taught by the people around me.

But why can't I shake this feeling, this side feeling, that by exposure to this experience I feel less not more, I feel passive not active, I feel ashamed of my pity shares to humanity.

You see people of artistic senses sharing their vision, people with good souls sharing insights & inspirations, and people of science sharing knoweladge, and you just can not shake the feeling of you being on the sidelines.

Between me and you, inspiring articles and media that I get expose to, make me more depressed, strong word, I get more demotivated than inspired, I do not know but deep down I just keep beating myself for being so passive, so inconsiderate, so defective. And I feel like the pressure is adding on me, as the bar of  Social interaction & human contribution keep raising up, I just can not follow any more.

And I can not help but to watch and tell my self just another idea gone.
