UMNO Gains Root In Sarawak??!!

There is another breakthrough story happening in Miri.  As we all know, the Prime Minister meets the ADUN, while political secretary has another hidden agenda.  It is believed that below minutes were taking place at that particular moments.

• To identify the Malay PBB assemblymen or assemblywomen who could be roped into the pro-UMNO PBB group 
• To identify the Malay-majority constituencies which pro-UMNO PBB candidates could be fielded to replace the incumbents who are certain to resist any efforts to join the group; and
• To find ways to create frictions or tensions among all political parties in the State BN of which when the situation has become chaotic, UMNO would be coming into Sarawak as the God-sent saviour

The Motorola Xoom has super-fast dual-core processor running on Android 3.0 (Honeycomb). It contained powerful Google developed software specifically designed for tablet market. It has front 2MP and rear facing 5 MP camera, a camcoder with Adobe Flash Player mounted on an 10.1 inches widescreen HD display.  

Motorola Xoom is the first tablet running with Honeycomb.  Way much better than Samsung Tablet with Android Froyo.  Google has tweaked the interface giving tab browsing capability, comparable with a small monitor PC with flash enabled.  It is equipped with mini USB and HDMI-port along with Wifi and 3G connectivity.  I bet what would the iPad boss feels when this ultra sensation hits town right after Valentine.  It will be Xoom fever all over.  Maybe BlackBerry Playbook can cure this sickness?

Agong Hits Mach Inside Sukhoi

Agong survived the Sukhoi.  He flew on the most advanced superjet in Malaysia.  It must be really exciting to get on one of those superjet.   Based on his smile and expressions I believed he really enjoyed being flown on the Sukohoi.  It was indeed a grace to be flown with the Agong inside.  Asghar, the pilot, must be excited and thrilled at the same time flying with the most important man in Malaysia and throttling the most expensive jets in Malaysia!!

Have a nice flight Sukhoi!!!

SimplyMEPIS for Old Hardware

SimplyMEPIS Logon

Pentium III 20GB HDD 256 MB RAM with OpenGL

This week I have been working on IBM Net Vista. I got it from my friends who won it from an auction.   He told me it was too old, ( Pentium III) with an OpenGL graphic card. He wanted to dispose it because he told me it was too slow with 256 MB RAM.  20GB HDD and CD ROM.

Details and package versions

SimplyMepis is based on a mix of Debian Sarge and Sid. 

• Kernels 2.4.26 and 2.6.7
• KDE 3.2.3
• OpenOffice.org 1.1.2
• Gimp 2.0.4
• Mozilla 1.7.2
• Skype 1.0
• Quanta 3.2
• K3B 0.11.14
• Audacity 1.2

I told him just give it to me so that I will try to hack it with linux. I had difficult times getting the working linux for this old system.  Luckily I came across simplyMEPIS debian based ubuntu type distro.  Most of the website gave excellent rating for it.  I used to play with Mandrake, Mandriva, Knoppix and this is another challenge for me.  

I burnt the iso from a nearby mirror site.  http://mepis.idrepo.or.id/mepis/released/ 

Burnt it using Nero and walla I had to give it a try.

The problem I encountered was installing the distro to the hard disk via a CD ROM.  After getting through the Net Vista Boot Sequence I still faced the CD ROM won't read or boot up the distro disc.  I opened up the CD ROM and swapped it with my mate's CD ROM and it start to boot up just like any other Live Linux on CD distro.   

All I can say is that the old IBM Net Vista is now able to run online with mozilla firefox and konqueror.  It has preconfigured KDE able to housed 4 separate desktop. 

I put it in my living room and my guest now can access the internet.  I did hook up usb keyboard and usb apple keyboard to replace the old IBM keyboard.  It is neat.  

It is indeed 20/20 for SimplyMepis.  No need to install driver. Just plug the internet cable and etch0 is automatically connected.

Egypt Crisis: Flights To KLIA Cancelled, Malaysians To Be Evacuated To Jeddah

 

Posted in BERNAMA, February 03, 2011 19:00 PM
 

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 3 (Bernama) -- The earlier plan to evacuate Malaysians from Cairo direct to Kuala Lumpur has been cancelled due to the latest situation in the crisis-hit Egypt, the prime minister's political secretary Datuk Shahlan Ismail said.

He said the first flight carrying Malaysians from Cairo, which was earlier scheduled to land at KL International Airport at 5am Friday, would instead land in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Shahlan told Bernama that the change in the plan had to be carried out so that the aircraft could be fully utilised to provide shuttle flights between Jeddah and Cairo, allowing for the evacuation of a bigger number of people.

"All aircraft operated by Malaysia Airlines, AirAsia and the Royal Malaysian Air Force will operate round-the-clock between Jeddah and Cairo.

"We want to take out as many people as possible due to the worsening situation in Egypt," he said.

Shahlan told Bernama earlier in the morning that the first flight out of Egypt, carrying 309 people including students and those who are pregnant and sick, was scheduled to land at KLIA at 5am Friday.

He said there would be two flights from Cairo to Jeddah on Thursday and 12 more on Friday.

The navy's Bunga Mas 5 auxiliary ship would take part in the operation on Saturday, he added.

Shahlan appealed to Malaysians in Egypt to be patient and not resorting to any acts of provocation.

"There is no need for any action that could aggravate the situation. The government has pledged to take all Malaysians irrespective of which state they are from. I hope that they can be patient," he said.

Shahlan is now in Egypt as part of the Malaysian monitoring team led by Deputy Foreign Minister A. Kohilan Pillay.
