Mostly action, suspense, thrillers, sci-fi, fantasy ones.

Oh, a lot of Chinese, Hong kong movies are missing from the list, I really want get them into the ImTiaZhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13285085848645735034noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7746222647228791087.post-8198896773766260692010-04-05T10:04:00.002+06:002010-04-05T23:59:41.427+06:00iPad-iPhone Interface of Google Applications on Linux DesktopVery recently Google has released special 2-pane interface of Gmail for iPad, which is kinda cool looking. Also other google services are available for iPad and tablet computers. These interfaces are highly customized for tablet like interface and touch-screen.
But how about using them on your desktop? That would be worth checking.

I have not used it much before.
I had few pictures from a colleague's wedding party. These were the originals taken with with digital camera. And the size of the images was huge., 71 photos taking up 150MB disk space. So, today I wanted to reduce the storage size by keeping the quality of the images same. Also, the resolution of the photos ImTiaZhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13285085848645735034noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7746222647228791087.post-21047490879599963792010-01-17T02:15:00.007+06:002010-01-20T03:47:09.230+06:00History of a Logical Volume named ARCHIVEThis is the history of a storage location named "ARCHIVE" created today. I hope it will stay alive for few years in future.
This ARCHIVE partition is on a 320GB Samsung disk (HD321KJ) which nearly covers the whole disk. Only 1st 2GB is used as SWAP partition just in case a running Linux installation may need or a Live CD may use during boot.

Simple hdparm -t did the trick.
As expected the latest 500GB SATA2 disk from Samsung outperformed all but it also died very recently after just 1 year of service.
I found it very surprising that my current laptop (Dell Vostro 1400) hard disk is slower than my 5 year old 80GB disk on desktop. That laptop is just a year old ImTiaZhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13285085848645735034noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7746222647228791087.post-13018899012241442302010-01-10T03:13:00.001+06:002010-01-10T09:18:52.366+06:00500GB SATA2 Hard Disk CrashedMy primary hard disk, a SATA 2 500 GB from Samsung crashed.
Such a disaster. Just yesterday it was showing soft errors in smartctl. Today it refused to wake up.
Even today smartctl can get device information from the HDD.
Can we really rely on a hard disk. This one is not even 1 year old and a latest one.
Though fdisk, sfdisk still shows partition information and layout but PV and VG ImTiaZhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13285085848645735034noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7746222647228791087.post-87601246357473464522007-09-28T03:48:00.000+06:002007-09-28T03:55:40.003+06:00Starting my new blogI don't usually write. Not in my habit.But few people told me that I should.Expressing myself, opinions, sharing knowledge. So, many things can be achieved.I learned lot of things from people through their writings.From blogs, forum posts, articles etc.My mind is wandering today.
