/computer/sabayon linux installation2

This is the second article about the installation.

1.Choose "Manually partition with Disk Manager"

2.We shall edit the partitioning.
Choose which partition we would like to install Sabayon. In my case I choose
"/dev/sda5"

3. We shall edit the partitioning. In this slide, I edit "Mount point"
I put a mount point called "/windows" at "/dev/sda1"

4. In this slide, I edit "Mount point"
I put a mount point called "/" at "/dev/sda5"



5. In this slide, I edit "Mount point"
I put a mount point called "/boot" at "/dev/sda3"

This is the second step of installation.
I would like it to be continued.

savoy cabbage

savoy cabbage.
It looks a bit creepy? To be honest it have too much vessels.
Do you agree?
However the test is amazing when it is boiled.
I never ate savoy cabbage in Japan but here it can be cheap than normal cabbage.
I made a roll-cabbage with savoy cabbage.
Today I got a great idea from the web page i referred.
Maybe many people have already know but for me it was new.
When we stick the roll-cabbage not to roll out when we are boiling, we ca use spaggetti.
spagetti will be biled and edible after that.

/computer/Linux sabayon/installation1

I segregated the hard drive of my computer to have two operation system in my computer.
So now I ma ready for installing.
Actually, we can do this segregation on the way to installing as we can see later.
Insert your LiveCD into CD drive. Reboot your computer.
Sabayon Live CD should boot immediately. If it does not start then either you burned
the CD incorrect way or you need to change your boot sequence.
I will not talk how to change the BIOS setting here. Check the manual for your computer.
I would like to talk about BIOS setting after I finish the Sabayon articles.

1. choose "start GUI Installation"
If we do not want tot install but try choose "Start Sabayon Linux"
2. just click the icon "NEXT"
3. Choose your language. In my case, "English"
4. Choose your keyboard language In my case,"English"
5. Choose installation type "KDE".

This is the first step of installation.
I would like it to be continued.

Thank you!! Love you!!

I have a counter in this blog page called "shiny stat"(http://s4.shinystat.com/)
This counter provides me a report about my visitors which country my visitor are or
what keywords make visitors come to my page.
Currently I have visitors mostly from UK.
Second country is US and Japan.
I even have visitors from Canada,Spain,Finland,China,Germany,Australia,Ukraine
,Paraguay,Latvia,Italy,Hongkong,France,Dominican Republic,Serbia and Montenegro,
Switzerland, Brazil, Belgium.
Thank you for visiting my blog page.
I am happy to have visitors from the country which I have never been.
It is so inspiring!

/computer/partitioning

I would like to segregate my hard drive so that I can have both windows operation system and Linux operation system in my computer.
To make segregation in the hard drive, we can use the Linux Live CD.
If you do not know about Linux Live CD, you can refer my article "Linuz Live CD"
Actually we can use window operation system for segregation with the utility "Fdisk". However in this case, we have to give up our data on the hard drive completely and everything would be erased.
So I think using Linux Live CD would be a good way to make segregation and at the same time we can keep what we have currently.

If you never segregate at all, you can just see one segregation.

eg.
Partition:"/dev/sda1". FileSystem:"ntfs" Size:50GB(for windows. You can decide the size depend on your preference.)
You can see, I am using around half of "/dev/sda1".

To have Linux system, we will have four partitions.
Partition:"/dev/sda2" FileSystem:"Linux-swap" Size:1000MB(1GB)
Partition:"/dev/sda3" FileSystem:"ext3" Size:54MB(0.054GB)
(This partition is going to be the booting partition. We are to put
Linux kernel here )
Partition:"/dev/sda4" FileSystem:"extended" Size:43GB
Partition:"/dev/sda5" FileSystem:"reiserfs" Size:43GB
(Sda5 is included in Sda4. The included partition is called "Logical partition"
The reason we do this is not to make any disagreement with windows operation system
in any case. Too detail so i would like to just describe what I have done to
segregation and avoid reason for too details.)



"/dev/sda2" is for swap partition: to extend the Ram memory on to the Hard drive.
Supriseingly we can extend the Ram memory using the space of Hard drive.
Do you remember the metaphor of refregitrator and cutting board for the Ram memory and Hard drive I described in the article of "/computer/memory"?
if we try to fit this swap thing into this metaphor,
We can make the part of refregerator into the catting board,to have a bigger cutting board.
"/dev/sda3" is the for booting Linux.
"/dev/sda4" and "/dev/sda4" is our main Linux partition which has data and programs.

Chess

Chess is among what I have learned in Britain. Before I have never played chess because simply I did not have any chance at all.
When I visited my suffolk family, I played with my little English brother. He explained rule though playing game. Sitting in front of fire place and just spend time playing game is really nice. So now chess is my favorite.
I decided to improve in playing chess. Recently, I purchased a small chess at Camden market. It is really tiny however it has figures and they look quite quite. Especially I like the Knights' figures, horse ones.
I even play chess on my computer to develop my skill. Computer is a really tough player who just take every chance. To be honest, playing chess with human is a little more enjoyable since we can see the face expression.
I guess, if the face expression system is applied into the chess-game-software, it would be really nice.

/computer/video memory

To understand computer spec, we need to know what is .
As we already know, a graphic accelerator manages the color of each pixel on our screen. It means that for each pixel the accelerator contains the information about its color.
The place to store this information is called "Video Memory". The color on the screen consists of 3 channels: Red, Green and Blue (RGB). How much video memory do we need? For each pixel it is a standard to have 128 grades of each color of RGB to provide the quality like in a photo (around 2 million colors). It makes the total memory required for each pixel to be 24bit.


Now, we need the memory proportional to the number of pixels on our screen. My screen has a maximal resolution 1280 pixels width and 800 pixels height. So, the minimal amount of video memory required for me should be 1280 x 800 x 24 bit = 24576000 bit = 24576 kilobit (kb) = 3072 kilobyte (kB) (Each byte contains 8 bit) = approximately 3 megabyte.
Modern graphic accelerators have video memory inside starting from 64 megabyte. Since I don't play 3D computer games, for me such amount of memory is a waste.


Video memory is shared with RAM

vegetarin still

Today, I try to cook sth tasty but still avoiding meat.
And then I cook mussel. At the Sainsbury, there is a mussel machine. We, customers can take mussels by ourself and put into a plastic bag and purchase. We can not really use the weight measure until we buy. I try to but 1kg and I try to put 1 kg.
My mussels are totally 1.005kg! I think I have a special talent in weight measuring which might not really useful in the modern world where we can use a weight measure.
For information, mussel was 3.5pound /kg.

My mussel memory.
When I travel Belgium, I ate and I learned that how it can be nice .
During Belgium, it was just a one night stay, I ate mussel twice.
Today I cooked and tried.
Extremely easy and nice. Especially it is nice with wine.
Today, I allowed myself to drink alcohol. Today I drink something called "cream".
I heard this is sth between wine and brandy. It is nice to know this new drink since I find it nice.

/comouter/Alcohol 120%

"Alcohol 120%" is the name of a software so I am not talking about alcohol.
I heard it is a popular and famous software however I did not know. This software makes
us be able to Copy Any Protected DVDCopy Any Copyrighted DVD Movie to A Single Blank CD or DVD in Minutes.
For sure we have to be careful about copyright however it is powerful.
We can download the trial software.

/computer/spec/Integrated graphical accelerator

To understand computer spec, we need to know Integrated graphical accelerator.
My computer's Integrated graphical accelerator is Intel 950. "950" is just a name and does not have a particular meaning.
An accelerator is the system between display and kernel .If you do not know about kernel, you can refer to the article "/comp uter/ operation system" in this blog.
Display is consist of many dots, as all of us know. These dots are called pixcels.
Each pixel has three channels: red , green, blue. which are called RGB.
We need to manipulate each pixcel to make color and pictures. The job manipulating the color of these pixel is the job of accelerator. Before this job was performed by CPU but to make CPU free from this job, accelerator is added.
This is graphical accelerator. My graphical accelerator is "Integrated graphical accelerator". So it is Integrated with sth. Sth is Video memory.
i would like to write about Video memory in next article.

A dog at Greenwich

I went to Greenwich park and find a dog.
In London, parks are so popular places to go to a suprising extent for a Japanese, me.

At first when I find a dog, I thought it is with its owner.
I thought "such a pretty at dog, I would like to kidnap(joking)".
He follow me a bit and go away a bit and stat to follow me a bit. Apparently, he was lost.

So I shouted "anyone who lose a dog!"
Unfortunately, nobody reply. There is a girl who also worry about this dog like me.
She hold up that dog and we went to the museum office. They said that we need to go to the police office which is located in the edge of the park.

We find a tug on his neck belt which have some ID number and telephone number.
When I called that number, the telephone-receptionist really did not know what to do
and give me some general suggestions such as visit museum reception which we have done already. I am afraid this dog-tug-telephone-number system seems not to work.


However,I wanted to make them to keep that dog because owner might be close and I think it is not a good idea to move the dog far, we decided to go that police office.
Rejected from museum office, we went to the to the police office.
Nobody there.
There is a telephone fixed and it said that we can call when we can not find police officer. When we called, phone-receptionist answered.
However she said we need to drive with the dog to some pet station which sounded far.
We did not have a car and beside that, I think it is a bad idea to bring that dog far.
When we were thinking what we can around the police office, the man came to us
saying "oh my Trinity".
I guess he is the owner.
What I was suprised is that the dog did not look paticulary happy to its owner.
The dog was just calm as alway.

/computer/spec/processor

To understand computer spec, we need to know about processor while choosing a computer.
Which processor is appropriate for us?
My computer's processor is Inter Centrino Core Duo, 2GHz, 2MB(cache memory),FSB 533.

1.Inter Centrino Core Duo
2.2GHz
3.2MB(cache memory)
4.FSB 533

So considering processor, we have four parameters.
1.product name. ( Actually it is not just a product name. It contains some
meaning. We shall talk about this meaning later.)
2.frequency-2GHz

2GHz means the how frequent the data is moving inside our processor.
To go further, we need an appropriate metaphor.
Processor is a city which has railway network inside.
Data are people who travel by train inside the city. The frequency of processor corresponds to the frequency of the trains .Now I am talking about inside the town and I will talk about the outside of the city in the later article.2GHz is the frequency of the trains.

The frequency (which sometimes is called "clock speed") of my processor is 2GHz ( 2 gigahertz), which is literally 2 billion times per second. Times of what? Times of the processor reads or writes. In other words, my processor can access data 2 billion times per second.

3.2MB(cache memory)
2MB is the amount of the cache memory. This amount correspond to the number of trains in the city if we try to fit into our metaphor. The more train you have, the more data you can move simultaneously

4.FSB 533(Frequency of System Bus)
We made a metaphor that processor is the city. City need to communicate with other worlds such as "RAM memory" and "hard drive".The processor are connected to other world with roads and buses which are called "Front BUS" are running.
This forth parameter described that how frequently the buses are running to other world from the processor.

Now we can return to the parameter of 1.
1.Inter Centrino Core Duo
Core Duo means double core. It's a kind of two processors inside one. Formally, it's not correct to say that, but it's easier to understand this way.
If we fit this to our city metaphor, the city has train system underground as well as
over the ground. Both train system are functionally equivalent but independent.

freecycle

I heard Freecycle movement start somewhere in America. Freecycle movement is the activity giving things for free instead of wasting to protect the environment.
Since I am poor, of course, I am interested in.
Of course I do not mind giving things for free which I do not need and I am throwing away if I have that kind of things if I have sth like that.
Therefore I am entitle to apply for register.
I check the Tokyo Freecycle branch. Currently there are around five hundred people are belonging. To be honest, not really big number.
I applied and successfully I am accepted. When I applied to register, most of the document are often English. I guess, this Tokyo branch is organized by western people
who are transfered to Japan and so on.
Maybe Japanese people do not like used things so this system might not work for Japanese.
However , Japanese people might not mind giving things which they need. They just do not want to use used things.
I guess we can think some modified way of freecycle moment for Japanese.
Do you have any idea?

/computer./spec/memory

When we purchase computer we compare the specs and choose it according to the specs.
So even if we are not technical geeks we still need to understand the meaning of computer specs as a part of common knowledge. If you are also the people who want to understand , this article might be helpful.

There are three kinds of memory in your computer which are normally listed in the specs: one is RAM(Random Access Memory) and the other is Hard Drive Memory. And the third one is Cache memory. I will not talk about Cache memory here.

I can a make good metaphor about RAM memory and Hard Drive Memory.
RAM memory is like a cutting board and Hard Drive is like a fridge.
If we have a big cutting board, we can deal with many things simultaneously and if we have big fridge, we can store many things.
In average, the size of each movie is around 1GB (1 gigabyte) and one song is 4MB (4 megabyte).
(1GB=1000MB)
If you need to deal with many things simultaneously, you need a big cutting board.
If you need to store many things, you need a big fridge.

In average, Modern computer is sold with 100GB hard drive and 1 or 2 GB RAM memory.
In my computer, I have 100GB hard drive and I am using 4 GB in my hard drive.
My fridge is quite empty at the moment.

Here I would like to describe exactly.
RAM memory : this is a fast memory to store current operational information - the data you are currently working with, such as currently open documents, pictures which you
are viewing, program which you are running including operation system. This memory is very fast on reading and writing operations (average 1.6 gigabyte per second), but has 2 disadvantages:
1) It's temporary. The information stored in the RAM exists only while the computer is working. After you switch it off all the information in RAM is lost. That's why each time you switch your computer on, you need to load lots of stuff from your hard drive.
2) It's expensive. In average, 75$ per gigabyte of memory.

Hard Drive : the memory to store data permanently. It stores the data by writing them onto metal plates of a hard drive by magnetizing them. It means that even after you switch your computer off, the information will not be lost. Hard drives are cheap at present - you can buy one for around 150$ with 120 Gigabyte capacity. It makes the price of hard drive memory 0.8$ per gigabyte. That is roughly 100 times cheaper than RAM. But the speed of a hard drive reading and writing operations is also less - around 100 megabyte ( =0.1 gigabyte) per second, that is around 16 times slower than RAM.


unless you are going to use your computer for memory-intensive tasks like 3D or video design,Generally, 1 gigabyte RAM is more than enough if you are going to use Windows XP or Linux operation system. I have 1 GB RAM find it more than enough.
Concerning hard drive, I use only 4GB out of 100 (4%) of my hard drive capacity. It means that the money I paid for my hard drive is used inefficiently. Unless you are going to store a hundred movies on your hard drive, you don't need the biggest one.

Fears ans Trembling

Maybe nobody can imagine how much I do not want to go back to Japan and at the same time How much I love Japan. Yes, it is contradicted and make my hart tore.
I was born and brought up in Japan however I do not agree with Japanese culture, I am afraid.
Today, I watched a movie,"Fear and Trembling". When I was in Japan, I have never heard about this movie.
But I heard it is a best seller books in France.

It is a story about a young Belgian woman,Amélie works as a translator for the giant Yumimoto Corporation in Japan. For Amélie, who spent her childhood in Japan, this is a dream come true. It is her chance to become a ''real Japanese.'
She really experiences Japan,I think.. Her story is quite controversial and someone says it is too exaggerated. Amélie is the auther of this book itself.
As a Japanese, I can easily believe that what she wrote could be true. Her view is not really from a foreign person visiting a Japan but a view who are treated as a Japanese in Japanese society.
People say it is terrifying and hilarious story.
I want to ask Ms.Amélie, What do you think of Japan now.
I think she still likes Japan in a way.
In this book, she did not mention about ,however I think if she is a boy, her experience in Japan might be a bit different. I do not say that always women are
treated bad so on.
Her appearance is a woman and looks weak. It is not really good to survive. At least
she should have have a mean and strict face otherwise people will not treat her well.
Of course, I also think people should be treated as people should be regardless their appearances. However We are living in the material world.


I was happy to watch this movie since I was always wondering that I am the only person who finds Japan in that way.
In that case, I am the person who has mental problems.
After I go back to Japan, I would like to work for a company which is originated from Western countries.

Grudge

I watched "Grudge". It is a scary movie.
Since I was a child I am easy to scared. This is the story about a lady ghost Kayako, who is killed by her husband. The murderer broken all of her bones and this is why when she haunts people, she does not walk but crawls.

It was night when I was watching this movie. I became hungry.
I baked potato I purchased at Sainsbury. After I baked potato, I put it into bowls.
Potato is crawling up from the bowls!!

Vegetarian

I love beef and pork and chicken.
one hundred fifty years ago, Japanese people did not have custome to eat any meat.
i only eat vegetable and fish. As far as I heard that people believed that if people eat meat people become that animal.
So many Japanese dishes only use fish and vegetable. After Japanese people started to eat meat, Japanese people gradually become taller and healthier.
Some people said vegetarian food is healthier than eating meat.
Is it true?

I am not sure if I become vegetarian, I can keep my health.
I decided to eat vegetarian food for a month until i get to home.

Today's meal

/comouter/open source software 2

Did you know that Mac operation system MacOSX is created from an open source software. I did not know that until recently, although I have had "MacOS X" in my old i-Mac.
My friend who is a heavy computer lover explained in the way I can understand. That was stunning.

Linux operation system, this is the most famous open source example. Mac OS X is based on a free open source operation system (FreeBSD). FreeBSD is a "cousin" of another open source operation system - Linux, although Linux operation system is more popular than FreeBSD.
Still, Linux operation system is not familiar for a shallow computer user like me, I think. I believed it was close to the truth that Windows operation system is the only operation system people can use in daily use. But now I know that it is not like that.

10 years ago Linux and FreeBSD operation systems really did not have a friendly face toward non-educated-in-computer users. However, since Linux and FreeBSD operation systems are open software and many software which can work on them are developed.
The number of those software is huge even in comparison with the software for windows operation system.

Since "Mac OS X" which have a friendly face toward non-educated-in-computer users is in fact a modification of FreeBSD, Mac users can use softwares developed for Linux as well.
So, relying on open source is the key of success of Apple!

/computer/open source software1

I LOVE open source software because they often look nice and work well and on the top of it, they are free.
Open soft software is the software the source programming code of which is open and anyone can access it and even modify.
While usual commercial software are sold for some money and their source code is closed . Since the source code of the open source software is exposed to many people, the hidden programming errors (called bugs) are resolved quickly, since, unlike closed software, much more people can analyze the source code of open software and search for bugs.
Many people pay attention to this open source movement.
Open source software prevails even if sometimes users do not really realize that. But still, I think, it is used not as wide as it should be.
Sometimes people seem to want to pay money even if people do not need and can get nice software for free.
It is widely known that in Tokyo, it often happens at clothes shops. If clothes shops make discounts on their clothes, people are reluctant to buy because people think the clothes must not be good. People feel secure if people pay money.
On the other hand, in Osaka, which is second largest city in Japan, they love discounts!
I am from Tokyo but I overcame the feeling insecure of using open source software.

Fire Fox:it is a software like "WindowsInternetExplore"

OpenOffice: it includes softwares which have functions of Microsoft Office.
Beside that it can even make PDF files, which is not possible with Microsoft Office.
It means that with Open Office you do not need to buy Adobe Acrobat for that.

MARMITE

Are you MARMITE lover?
I have learned that people are divided into two segregations, MARMITE lover or MARMITE hater.
You have to decide which side you would like to take.
MARTMITE is British special spice made from yeast extract.
When I came across MARMITE, I appreciate the depth of the taste however
I found it is too bitter and unique. So I thought I am a MARNITE hater.
This bitter and unique taste remains in my memory deeply.
This is the story I become MARMITE lover.
Today, I ate MARMITE putting breakfast cheese toast morning.
Lunch time, I put on a baked potato. Evening I will dissolve MARMITE into vegetable soup.

a homeless guy at Tottenumcourt road

In London, we an find some homeless people.
It seems to me that there must be some special reason why they choose to be homeless since England is so wealthy and have many supporting system and if people have will, always there is a way.
Maybe they might be treated in a bad way in their childhood and have been hurt and so on.
I feel sorry for them although I never give them changes since I am also poor.
Today, I got a one pound coin on the road. I think I can give this one pound coin to some homeless people since this coin is not mine.
Today I found a homeless guy at Tottenumcourt road and he asked me some changes as he does to all people.
I stand in front of him and put my hand to my pocket to grab that coin.
it is strange, I can not find the coin!
SO I decided to just leave. Maybe that homeless guy understood that I tried to find some change in my pocket but I did not find it. Of course it made him disappointed,
since he expect me to give him change.
He shouted something "It is always like that"
I hope "it is not always like that" for him.

Cyberdog

my friends like the clothes produced by "Cyberdog" in CamdenRock. Recently, I also come to like their clothes and often do window-shopping at that shop. Clothes there are not only unique but quite farm therefor it is not really cheap. Just one T-shirt costs around 25-35 pounds.
Since in London it is the sale season, I find some clothes at "Cyberdog" discounted.Today I purchased one T-shirt for me at 12 pounds which is discounted from 25 pound.

My oldest memory about my sister

Today I was just thinking what is my oldest memory about my sister. I have a sister who is two years older than me and already married.
We hardly communicate since we are too different and can not communicate. The fact that I am not close to my sister makes me sad sometimes, however life is not perfect and it is OK. I had better not to find it sad otherwise every time I recall my sister, I will be hurt.
My oldest memory about my sister...
I recalled old memory, which is a bit funny so I decided to put on this blog.
Maybe it was when I was about 4, I went to some field next to our house to a catch butterfly with my friends who also just a little boy. We had only one catching net so we run after a butterfly in turns. When that little boy were trying and almost catching one, my sister came to see how we are doing.
My sister said "It is not a butterfly but a moth!" That boy take off the catching net and make the "insect" go away. After that my sister said "It is a butterfly not a moth!" and that boy started to run after that "insect".
She seemed to find it funny and repeat this several times.
Yes, she is evil and clever.

/computer/Videojug

I found a amazing webpage providing nice videos when I google "how to remove chewing
gum from clothes"
WE can find many video telling us "how to" things such as "How to chat someone up on the train, bus or tube". funny! And useful and sometimes they explain sth too obvious and still funny.
(http://www.videojug.com/category/relationships)
My favorite is "How to fold a T-shirt in 2 seconds - explained", and
. If you find it sound interesting, check it out!

wedgewood

In London it is the SELL season. Even me, a poor student get the feeling that I might find sth nice and affordable.
Beside that I like windows shopping basically. Today, I went to the Oxford street and drop in Wedgewood. Of course, it is a expensive shop and not affordable but still nice to look around beautiful plates and cups.
Some of them are 70% off and still expensive.
Maybe people who love Wedgewood find these 70% off offer, they will be happy to have difficulty in breathing.

I find a cutlery set which offer 50% off. It was really beautiful and price was £100 discounted from £200. For sure, it is too expensive for me but I think it would be a nice sourvenir to my family. It was for six people so I can divide it to two and give half to my parents and half to my married sister.
cutlery last long, i do not even know how long people are supposed to use it.
After thinking about this expensive sourvenir, I discuss with my friends. My friend said that it is silver and not really useful.
Wow, That is true!
This is the story why I did not buy it.

/computer/Alcohol120%

"Alcohol 120%" is a name of a software so I am not talking about Alcohol.
I heard it is a popular and famous software however I did not know. This software makes
us be able to Copy Any Protected DVDCopy Any Copyrighted DVD Movie to A Single Blank CD or DVD in Minutes.
For sure we have to be careful about copyright however it is powerful.
We can download the trial software.

/computer/OLPC

OLPC stands for "One Laptop per Child". I found about this computer from BBC news.
The price is said to be $100.
Apparently it does not require even power supply. We can see the handle. It might be a water proof if they manage the air ventilation avoided. The article said that this computer can build a mesh wireless network just after popped out of the box and start to communicate with nearest neighbors. I do not know what kind of technologies are implemented in this system however sounds so amazing doesn't it.

My first own computer was an i-Mac. Do you know this? My father purchased this compute for me since I wanted to have one. Before I did not have any computer in my house. I used to go to school to check E-mail which is one hour an half away.
Personally I think giving computers to children is a brilliant idea.
I wanted to have a chance to learn more.
When I was a uni student, sometimes i found sth like "Unix three days course" and
if it was free I often attended them. However normally what I have done there was just typing what is written in the text book and I did not really understand what was going on.

I have an engineering degree in Japan from a quite an OK university, in which even myself can not believe,However I do not know about computer more than as a user.
Since my first computer was a Mac and Mac does not allow people to deal with the components inside, I a kind of lost a chance to understand computer.
"computer" and "English" are crucial, aren't they?!


http://www.laptop.org/index.en_US.html
the laptop will have a 500MHz processor and 128MB of DRAM, with 500MB of Flash memory instead of a hard disk. And it will have four USB ports.

/computer /Live CD Linux Sabayon

I wanted to have Linux operation system on my computer because it looks beautiful
when I saw Linux for the first time.
I asked my friends to help me to install and get to be able to use that.
The answer was negative because of my lack of skill and knowledge, it was difficult.
However recent technology give me a chance to have Linux operation system.

There is something called "Live CD"(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_CD)
We can try how this operation system works and looks even without installing Operation
system.

I downloaded the LiveCD of the SabayonLinux and store it into my computer and burn into CD.


How to:
1.visit the Sabayon webpage and go to the page(http://www.sabayonlinux.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2643)
2.we can find the
"resources for SabayonLinux x86/x86-64 3.2 miniEdition" on the page.
3.Choose "SabayonLinux x86 miniEdition 3.2 Torrent".
4.Using BitTorrent, we can start download LiveCD as a file of the type "ISO".

To burn "ISO" file we need a special program such as "NERO" or "ROXIO" or "Alcohol120%".
They are not free however I believer there are some free software which can burn ISO files.
You can visit (http://www.free-downloads.net/downloads/Alcohol_120_/) and download
the trial viersion of "Alcohol120%"

I think it is a good looking operation system with lots of eye-candies. The picture is the screenshot of my current desk top.
Beside its beauty, it is free!
Although I can not really feel, it is said to be powerful as well.
What I like is that I do not need to buy anti-virus software.

/Computer/Operation System

Operation System
Before I just understand operation system is the system to manipulate some software. Maybe it might not be a big mistake. However recently I 've got a good explanation what is operation system.
The core of an operation system is composed of kernel and drivers.
Drivers are language which each devices such as printers and displays and mice and keyboards can speak.
Kernel is the part of the operation system which listens to devices in their languages and makes them communicate each other. Kernel can be called “Universal translator” who can understand any machine language, driver.
For example,
When kernel sends the message “Print out ” to the printer, kernel uses the printer driver which means printer-language. When that printer sends us the message such as “Display the message that no paper found and please put some paper”. That message is made in printer readable language firstly and passed to the kernel. Kernel receive that message and decide to transfer that message and translate that message to display driver, display readable language. The display receive the message from the kernel and and display “no paper found and please put some paper”

earrings

I haven't buy any jewelery and clothes for a long.
So Today I purchased some earrings at Topshop on the Oxford street. I feel really nice! The world looks different from before.
Japanese girls often likes some small earing and here British girls often wear more bigger. I purchase a bigger earlings than what I purchase in Japan. However I purchased something simple design so that I can wear in Japan as well.
I wanted bracelet which I find there but I gave up. I think if I would have purchased that I would feel better.

Jeeves&Wooster

Recently I download "Jeeves&Wooster" though BitTorrent. Now it is my favorite.
It is English old soup opera.
Their English is extremely proper and I can catch more but it is hard....
"Little Britain" is also hard in a different way.
I like Wooster. He might not be a cleaver like Jeeves, however he is nice mind person.
Although Wooster is the master, he likes to chat with Jeeves and come to the Utility room to chat him.
Not funny like "Friends" but I like this as well.

New Year

January first morning!
I went to the Premire hill.
Recently, I do jogging everyday here to the Premire hill but today I come here for see the sunrise.
I love parks in London so much.
I am sure parks will be the biggest things I will miss after I go back to Japan
more than the red buses.
I went to the park with small pot which have sweet black coffee.
Nice!

Bloody Roast Chicken

I made Roast Chicken. It was a bloody roast chicken. Well, I am not swearing here.
It was just really bloody.
Last Christmas, My Friend, Mi***** invite me to her Christmas Dinner , and she cooked a beautiful roast chicken.
So Today I tried with seeing the webpage Mi*****.(http://cookpad.com/GORONTA/recipe/224742/)
Of course, it is not neither Christmas nor New years days anymore however it is nice
to have Roast Chicken. I was not able to roast well since I did not defreeze the chicken enough. So when chicken was roasted and looked beautiful, actually the inside was still bloody. Anything is just lesson!!

/computer/BitTorrent

BitTorrent is the software which allow us to share data.
For example, movie and music can be downloaded though BitTorrent on the Internet.
Be careful not to violate the copyright if you can.
Because of BitTorrent, I am able to see many movie and data.
How to:
1.First we can download and install BitTorrent(http://www.bittorrent.com/download.html).
Now we are ready to share files on the internet.
2.We need to visit web page which collect the links to the data which can be shred though BitTorrent.
I use "btjunlie"(http://btjunkie.org/).
3.Search the file you want.
4.click the file neme you want.
5."btjunlie" will provide the next window which contain the detail of the file you choose.
6. Click the green space which contain the file name.
7.Our computer will provide the window asking if we want to open it or save it.
We shall choose to save it.
8.After that we shall open the Torrent file which you just save now.
When we open it, our computer will ask us where we would like to save the file.

If we are ok with it, we shall say "OK".
Basically, this it the all and our computer will stat downloading.

/computer/disfragmentation

I have learned one tip how to make computer work efficiently.
"defragmentation".
Our computer have Hard Drive where data is stored. when data are stored, data are scattered in our hard drive and when we use that data, it require some effort to find.
For example, imagine a book. Pages of books are supposed to be sequential, suppose it is not. It is hard to get the page you want, isn't it.
"disfragmentation" is the process we make pages of books ordered, so that when we use it, it will be easier.
In this analogy, books are files. "disfragmentation" makes the files work more efficiently.

How to do:
Go to "My computer". Right click the hard drive which you want to defragemnt.
Choose "Property".
Choose the tag, "tool".
Click the icon, "Defragement now".
on the window of "Disk Defragmenter",We choose which hard drive we want and we click "Analyze".
After that we shall click "Defragment".
Done!
