LOL. I am not found of taking these so called ‘Nerd Tests’, however I didn’t have anything else to do so I went over to NerdTests.com and took the Computer Geek Quiz

The score? Well well well.

LOL! A Computer GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The test was pretty easy I think! (0% scored higher or 0% scored the same same as 100%. LOL)

Overall:

0% scored higher (more computer geeky),
0% scored the same, and
100% scored lower (less geeky).

What operating system are you taking this quiz on?

Sadly, Linux is still at 7% while Windows continues to lead with 82%.

A properly configured Linux system makes Windows look pathetic.

People think Vista is too good. I had installed Vista and believe me, it sucks! After an uptime of 2 days, the OS started giving problems – frozen windows and stuff. Just waiting for Fiesty Fawn to release!

Ok. I use Emacs cause its fast, very powerful and cause Richard Stallman is behind it!

A very cool feature in Emacs (apart from all other ‘great’ things it has to offer) is the Emacs Psychiatrist. Now what is that? Read the conversation to find out.

This is the actual conversation with a software. Yeah. Unbelievable!

To start the Emacs Psychotherapist, go to Help > Emacs Psychotherapist.

—–
Emacs: I am the psychotherapist. Please, describe your problems. Each time
you are finished talking, type RET twice.

Me: hello

Emacs: How do you do? What brings you to see me?

Me: i need your help. i have heard that you are a good psychiatrist.

Emacs: Why do you say that?

Me: hmm. cause i read about it somewhere.

Fonzter.com is a popular teen blog which has a huge audience in Punjab.

I was surprised when I recieved an email from one of the founders – requesting me to write for the blog. Of course! I was too happy to accept.

Check it out once!

A very happy birthday to me. I have turned 18 now.

Since it is a special day, may:

- people stop discriminating on the basis of religion and race.

- you adopt open source software. Get Linux. I don’t say don’t use Windows; but prefer using open source. After all, software is meant to be free. At least the code.

- the Manmohan Singh government wake up and stop living in dreams. Quota based on caste is as obsolete as Windows 98.

- you may finally realize that IE sucks and please don’t ask me why. I am sick of explaining to people this simple fact. I get people calling me after messing up their computers. I ask them one simple question. Do you use IE? And they say yes. I tell them to switch over to Firefox. Then they make me go nuts by asking WHY IS IE not GOOD? Damn it.

- if you do use commerical software, buy it. Don’t use cracks or keygens.

- and please don’t outcast an entire community just cause of a few people.

- wish me happy birthday!

I had heard about something called Virtualization: to run multiple Operating Systems simultaneously. I had nothing else to do, so decided to give this a shot.

First, as always I went over to Wikipedia and here is what I found.

I decided to try VMware, downloaded a trial version and then I was raring to go.

The host operating system was Windows XP. I installed Windows 98 SE as guest operating system and here I was! Running two Operating Systems side-by-side! It looked way too cool!

Then I installed Ubuntu. So now I am running 3 Operating Systems: at once.

The good thing about virtualization is that the guest operating systems are isolated from the host operating system. The guest OS can be used for software testing and to run software that you doubt about. (The best example: software cracks)

Screenshots:

Now even Albert Einstein is endorsing for my blog!

Here is the list of the top ten rock songs, decided by me. Individual choices may vary. They always do . . .

I don’t know why but I just can’t get Stairway to Heaven and Wish You Were Here out of my head. I just can’t.

Here is a collected list of easter eggs present in Firefox. Check them out!

Hey everyone! Just came to know about ANOTHER great Google trick.

Here is how it works:
