Photozoom glitch spoilt my Seadragon Ajax testing

I thought I wanna give some try to the Seadragon Ajax and embed the image here by using Photozoom, but to my disappointment, it keep failing on my attempt to upload the photo. Is this the definition of ‘Lab’, Microsoft? Oh, I forgot, it still in ‘beta’

Ubuntu 8.10 hands-on – The beginning

It’s been a week after I start using Ubuntu. The installation was a breeze on my old Dell Latitude. Since I install it on top of Windows XP, the performance is quite disappointing to the point that I want to do full complete installation.But that means I have to create another partition on the hard disk and hence reinstall XP and the rest of applications, which I’m not yet ready to do at the moment

Overall, Ubuntu provide a better experience to first time user. It was a relief when Ubuntu manage to detect & install almost all Latitude drivers, so no headache here. Wireless setup is a straight forward too, and I manage connecting to internet which is one of primary objective that I set earlier.

Get things done

The biggest obstacle for anyone to start using and working in Ubuntu seriously is not because of Ubuntu itself. Ubuntu is pretty straight forward OS and quite easy to be mastered. But it is how to find replacement or similar applications that user used to have it in Windows, now to run it in Ubuntu. For instance, I’m using Paint.net, Snagit, Core FTP which are all Windows based application and now, I have to search similar application that can run on Ubuntu properly.

This is where you’re going to spend your time searching and testing it on Ubuntu. It need passion and patience to get this work as you wish. Otherwise, anytime this can turns you away especially those that just want to try.

Stay tune for more hands on.
