Back on Linux

I was using Windows now for almost one year because of some windowsonly programs that I like ( Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, PAUP* and so on). But I like Ubuntu Linux much more, so I tried out some virtual machines. VirtualBox was good for me. Now I am running Ubuntu 8.04 with VBox installed. It is just great! The VBox with XP in seamless mode is like heaving an additional panel with Windows menus on it, in the Windows I use the same theme as in Linux, so Win and Linux windows look the same.

All the installed programs on the VBox XP and in Linux work fine and fast (I have the luck having 8GB of RAM on my machine).

My most used programs on Windows XP:

Adobe Illustrator
InDesign
Photoshop
PAUP*
VisualStudio (for compiling c++)

Most used on Linux:

Firefox
Gnome Terminal
Kine (for LaTeX)
Gedit
g++ compiler
Open Office
MrBayes
Phyml
Paml
Pidgin
gFTP

And I’m apt-getting …

Okapi

In Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, first photos of Okapi from nature have been captured with camera traps. The Okapi is a very shy and rare animal and because of this in conventional surveys only droppings were recorded, but the survey of the Zoological society of London was successful - you can sees the photographs on theyr website: http://www.zsl.org/field-conservation/news/first-ever-pictures-of-africas-unicorn,514,NS.html

After we were all frightened by the idea of a black hole swallowing us, we can congratulate to the great scientists from CERN for the successful first beam in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

My first blogging steps …

…I’m sometimes a little bit lazy, but I hope my blogging wont stop because of this. This is my first post after I found the sites design good enough

I built the pages in html code and styled them with a css file. Then I installed WordPress and transformed the html pages to a theme package. You see the result.

First it was supposed to be in red,

but I found a really nice image made by Bill Frymire, that I exposed at the page header - then the theme went blue. I like Bills ideas and images very much, so have a look at his portfolio at http://www.billfrymire.com
