Tuesday, May 25th, 2010Wimax Install
Saturday, October 3rd, 2009today I helped a neighbour get and install wimax at his home
we waited about an hour and a half at verat.net offices since it was Saturday and only one worker was in the office dealing with customers
basically they ask you to sign a contract for up to 12 months of service at about 2300 RSD and about 1500 RSD for the wimax device
when I got to my neighbour with the device I installed Ubuntu Linux and everything worked out of the box
but only the test account has been enabled on the device with the rate limited to 5 kilobytes/second
after reading the manual, I put username/password and everything worked, he got his 2 megabits of downlink
I’m glad wimax has finally come here, we needed it since the government doesn’t want to invest into new wires, they just suck out the profit from existing telephone bills
Fruit Brandy Certificate – Rakija Certificate
Monday, September 28th, 2009it’s been long time since I wrote here
I just got my fruit brandy (rakija) certificate from agriculture faculty of Belgrade
it took me a couple months of lectures and then the final exam
I passed the exam with the grade 8 out of 10
now, I’m going to try to make rakija in practice, I had enough of theory
here’s a pic of me and my certificate
OpenSolaris Summer School @ Belgrade, Serbia
Tuesday, July 7th, 2009the school is held at the Institute Of Physics, Belgrade for the month of July, two times a week
today, Uros Nedic, the guy doing the lecture, arrived a bit late but I managed to find a beautiful park behind the institute with a great view of the Danube river
I had a nice time today
we were learning about Sun OS processes, threads, LWM, kthreads, DTrace, Zones and ZFS
Uros was great while teaching us/giving a lecture, answered all of our questions
I learned a lot
now, here are some pictures I took with my mobile phone, sorry for the bad quality
Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex
Thursday, November 20th, 2008I upgraded few days ago and ran into problems
my wireless card based on atheros chip stopped working
it seems they’ve deliberatly removed madwifi support from wpasupplicant or something so I did two things, I downgraded wpasupplicant to hardy version and compiled/installed madwifi drivers from the project website
another problem that is still unresolved is the graphics
they’ve removed the old good driver, i810 and instead put intel driver for xorg
the intel driver is twice slower
I can’t watch flash movies any more, it’s that slow
and worse, if I hibernate from the X, I get garbled screen on next startup, nothing works
so I’ve found a workaround, I hibernate from text mode 
anyway, I noticed kde applications have better looking interface, a new sound manager (pulseaudio), no more gaim (now it’s called pidgin)…

Firebug In Firefox 3 Ubuntu
Wednesday, July 9th, 2008with the new Ubuntu came Firefox beta 3, then the Firefox final 3 but Firebug just didn’t work
FYI Firebug is a great web development add on for Firefox
now after like a month or two I found a way to make it working
just remove the Firebug extension if you have it that does not work
and then install Firebug from the packages
I used the command line
aptitude install firebug
have fun
