Me and my laptop

This is my first ever experiment with the web and to giving myself a public visibility. I’ve been longing to create blogs of mine and publish it over the network of networks, yes, Internet I mean. I’ve just got myself a DELL Inspiron 1525 which comes pre-loaded with a genuine Vista Home Premium.

Pretty well, the operating system “Vista” looks very pleasant and showy. Not to say much about it because everybody knows what Vista is! Presently, I’ve created a partition of 20 and 40 GB in which I use one for storing my designs and programs and the other for my personal favorites such as movies, songs and other cool stuffs.

Focusing the academic side, I’ve recently installed the Intel 8085 Simulator which can simulate the assembly codes. The simulator is very well designed, but the sad part of it is that, it comes only with a year of license.

For my designs, I’m basically using Adobe Photoshop which gives me an immense enthusiasm to design wallpapers and art work of my own. I’ve created a few designs played with colors around. It basically took only 2 days to have a working knowledge over it. The rest is given to the hands of Trial and Error..!

The ever inspiring creation of Microsoft – The Visual Studio 2008 (Express Edition), grabs my eyes every time I gaze through the start menu of my Vista. I exclusively love working in Visual Basic, which gives an awesome environment to create windows applications in .net framework. I don’t know what that really means! But anyways it sounds very geeky to me, so I thought of just getting it on!

I’ve also installed “openoffice.org 2.4” which is an open sourced collection of applications (a suite) that resembles the Microsoft Office. Hence I’m very well assured that I’m not into pirating things and using them. Such open source products help in destroying piracy and help in the sustaining of humanity.

My Future Plans:

My friends have already switched over to Linux Ubuntu and I’m also a bit attracted towards it. Major problem in this regard is that, I’m very new to computers and using Linux straight-away is going to be a million dollar question and a thing to happen in the dreams… he he he!!! Not having experience using Linux is also very bad. Hence, I’ve planned to install it in SunVXM Virtual Box.

Where I can install and run Ubuntu inside Vista. Don’t ask me how! My friends are to configure me with that!

For the forthcoming techfests and stuff, I’ve planned to show my talent in the web designing part. As the first step I’ve just started to give a try over HTML and XML.
