Oh.. Windows, I am tired of you

Everything is okay with my laptop because I mostly boot to Ubuntu and very often to Windows 7. Therefore I do not have to worry about viruses and other threats. Still I have installed ClamAV, just in case if I ever got to use it. I have never seen any virus or malware in a computer system which I have been under my control. At least for last 4-5 years. Because I have learned to use them with so much attention for safety and security.

But I think this fight for safety has not ended yet. I have no idea how my father's computer at his office has got infected with a malware threat named as One Half 3666. Every single file, even many system file has infected with it and Avast Free Edition is putting them all into the virus chest.

Spreadsheets, documents, executables, every type of files are infected. I decided to format the drives and reinstall Windows XP. I have restored all necessary official files from Avast's virus chest and backed up into my laptop and of course using Ubuntu.

And now reinstalling the XP. Unfortunately, dvd drive in the system is not working. So first I had to find a software to create a Windows XP bootable USB drive. What similarly we usually do with GNU/Linux distros. I got a nice tool named WinToFlash. Thanks to DuckDuckGo. Using this I installed XP in my 2GB usb flash drive. Initially it took more time than usual disk way installation.

Now installing is getting finished so let me get onto it. Come back later to hear more. ;)

50 km/litre mileage in my Yamaha FZ (153cc)

It is being 1 year I am riding Yamaha FZ 153cc bike. Till first service, from the Yamaha's authorised service centre it had around 48 kmpl mileage. Then it gone down to around 30 kmpl for the following 1 - 2 months. But I managed to increase it with economy level riding. I always try to manage the bike's speed between 40 - 50 kmh. It is not possible to maintain the same speed because of the traffic in town area. But because of perfect level of riding it then managed to give around 35 - 40 kmpl.

A mail from USA

Two days before I got a mail which was addressed from USA. I was shocked actually since there is no chance that someone would mail me from USA. Then I realised that its from DuckDuckGo.com team. They have sent some stickers of their logo which I applied for 1-2 months before (that time it was free). I'm so happy for these stickers and stick a small one inside my Lenovo G570 along with GNU.org's logo.

Have been busy...

For the last couple of weeks I'm doing some research in Android App Development. Android and Java are getting more interesting. Did compile some sample apps successfully. The target is to send data from an Android to PC using wifi. And I'm getting closer to it day by day.

In other angle, life is getting more busy. Even I started to forgetting the password of my email id!! :D :D

E-dirts is getting more traffic. Recently the site got a new theme. Iftivai is working hard to make the site more simple and attractive. We are also getting positive responds from the readers for the new theme. And we are happy about it. :)

We are trying to put more on site but it is not enough. So still we are looking for some bloggers/authors who would like to write on our site with great passion for writing. If you are interested, please contact Iftivai (Iftekhar Buiyan).

I've just downloaded Zorin OS. It has the same appearance as of Microsoft Windows and it is based on Ubuntu. Going to try it now.

I lost my "telling air'

I was waiting for the end of validity of offer packs I've added to my Docomo number. Because its too long since I've used my Airtel number and wanted to replace them. Two days before offers were got expired so I put the Airtel SIM in phone. But it notified as 'Invalid SIM'. I tried to call on that number and that operator girl said "This number does not exists." That's the moment I realised that my Airtel number no more, mine. Because lately that number will be passed on to another person.

But I'm not worry about that because I already have Docomo and it gives me good enough offer packs that I need and getting enough coverage near by home. Airtel also has a good service but now I'm going to continue with Docomo.

At least now I don't have to worry about that number any more. :) :)
