Well no body expected that to happen, but it has finally. Michael Owen has signed a 2yr deal with Manchester United.

Michael Owen signs for Man Utd

Monsoons had just arrived and we couldn't resist the first one of the wet season, Siddhagad. Located near Murbad, between Gorakhgad and Bhimashankar, it was a good outing for us, Vj, Mallik, R.A. Jo B.A, Sneha, Swati and Kudrat. We could've hiked the final Balekilla, but as we were on a tight one-day schedule, we had to reach up to the cave atop the Siddhagad machi and return back.

Travelling Directions

• Get a train for Kalyan Railway Station (Central Railway)
• A ST bus to Murbad
• Another ST bus to Narivali
• A walk starts which converts to a trek soon - towards Siddhagad

Approximate time of Trek: 6-7 hrs (including the return to the base village)

This new song, is not very different in strumming or chords, runs in the scale of D, with Dsus4 to add higher note and moves in D, A and G.

Intro

D ... Dsus4
A ... Asus4

Song

Na .. Na nana na na na
D             Dsus4  A
Nana na na na na
              G
Nanana na na na
             A

Yaaron ji bhar ke ji le pal
D                Dsus4  A
lagta hai aaj kal
              G
daur apna aayegaa
              A
              
yaaron khud pe ho yakeen
D              Dsus4  A
toh zindagi haseen
              G
tujhe kal bulayegaa
                A

Strumming

Down ... Down Down Up Up Down Up Down

The strumming pattern is a little cagey, modifications appreciated.

I finally managed to get a new Laptop, Acer 4736Z. I'd to wait before Fedora 11's download was complete and I could install it.

Overview

• Graphics card works out of the box (1366x768 resolution)
• Sound is detected well
• Wireless and bluetooth are working
• The Web Camera is detected and working well
• The Brightness control doesn't work
• The gsynaptics had to be installed to enable tap on the touchpad

All and all it looks good. Here is a screenshot.

Pulseaudio CPU usage
Great work, Pulseaudio in F11 uses lesser CPU as compared to Fedora 10 Pulse Audio

Guys using Fedora 10, must've seen this problem of Pulseaudio taking high CPU usage. After a lot of tweaking, I came to this. From System -> Preferences -> Hardware -> Sound

Change all the drop downs to ALSA. Just make sure u "Test" and hear the tone before applying the changes.

Update

I've done this yum remove pulseaudio. This removes the root cause :)

Configuring Wifi on Dell 1525 with Fedora 10 wasn't much a problem. I enabled the RPM Fusion Free and Non Free repositories. And used the following command.

yum install broadcom-wl

Rest of the control was taken by GNOME.

I heard this song recently by Live and found it interesting if it could be played on a Guitar. Here is what I've managed.

Tuning: E standard, Capo on 1st fret

// Initial Tab played on 6th or the base E string
E |-6b--6-4-2--|
When u bend on the 6th fret, bend hard a full half note.
And return and play 6th fret again with 4 and 2 in quick succession.

And to love: a god
C              F
And to fear: a flame
C              F
And to burn a crowd that a name
Dm             F           C

And to right or wrong
C               F
And to meek or strong
C              F
It is known, just screem it from the wall
Dm                  F                C

Ive willed, Ive walked, Ive read
C               F           C
Ive talked, I know, I know,
    F       C       C
Ive been here before
C             G

I read this story on BBC, http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/7907888.stm.

A century from now, our handwriting may only be legible to experts.

For some, that is already the case. But writer Kitty Burns Florey says the art of handwriting is declining so fast that ordinary, joined-up script may become as hard to read as a medieval manuscript.

"When your great-great-grandchildren find that letter of yours in the attic, they'll have to take it to a specialist, an old guy at the library who would decipher the strange symbols for them," says Ms Florey, author of the newly-published Script and Scribble: The Rise and Fall of Handwriting.

Interesting as well as disappointing. In future we'd be lost in sans-serif and serif, the Verdanas and Tahomas.
