Motorola v6 as modem in Ubuntu linux

Tuesday 25. of March 2008

The reason I bought a v6 maxx is to take advantage of it's 3g and hsdpa(sp?) capability. Since a pldt weroam can get expensive and data transfer speeds are not as fast as a dedicated connection. First of all: get a data cable. I won't discuss here how to get it done via bluetooth since i...

Organizing thoughts and ideas with kde basket

Thursday 19. of July 2007

I used to organize my ideas with simple text files and sometimes memo records from a pda.

My desktop is getting old ... around 3+ years worth of regular use. It has to be replaced soon. Which brings me to purchase on installment an MSI S425. It's the cheapest laptop with nvidia video I could find. All the rest are ATI (poor linux support), they're mostly out of stock anyway. To be ab...
