"Introduction to Ubuntu 7.10 Beta The Ubuntu developers are hurrying to bring you the absolute latest and greatest software that the open source and free software communities have to offer. This is the Ubuntu 7.10 beta release, which brings a host of excellent new features. Note: This is still a beta release. Do not install it on production machines. The final stable version will be released in October 2007."It's supposed to be released this month but I just can't help but give it a try, so far my past experiences with ubuntu was good, but this new release really just frustrated me. I could never get compiz fusion to work and had some problems with slow networking too.
I'm doing the upgrade instead of a clean install, but I'm also downloading their DVD installer/livecd just in case my upgrade gets messed up and I end up with a wrecked system.

"Broken Trail is a June 2006 Emmy Award-winning revisionist Western miniseries that originally aired on American Movie Classics as their first original movie. It stars Robert Duvall and Thomas Haden Church, and was directed by Walter Hill.
The screenplay for Broken Trail was written by Alan Geoffrion, who also wrote the novel of the same name. (ISBN 1555916058,
Fulcrum Publishing, June 2006). Novelist and screenwriter Alan
Geoffrion weaves together two facts — British were buying horses in the
American West in the late 1800s and Chinese women were being transported from the West Coast to the interior to serve as prostitutes — along with a series of Western vignettes." - Wikipedia
I just fell in-love with this miniseries the moment I saw it on AMC, the scenery was beautiful and I loved the characters. Never been much of a western genre fan, but after seeing this I immediately went ahead and borrowed some other westerns, like those with Clint Eastwood.

Computers in the European Union should be sold without a bundled operating system, according to this submission to the European Commission. It says that the bundling of Microsoft Windows with computers is not in the public interest, and prevents meaningful competition in the operating system market.
Thursday, September 20th, 2007 by Francis Giannaros. After quite a few rebuilds and testing, the openSUSE team is happy to announce that RC1 looks brilliant and is now available for download. We consider this release to be feature complete, stable, and suitable for testing from any user. For more information on the release schedule, take a look at the Roadmap.Since I'm so pissed at ubuntu right now, (gutsy gibbon sucks balls) I think I'm gonna try good old Suse, I've had some experience with them before so wth! let's see if they can make my ATI AIW 9600 work.

Compiz Fusion is the result of a merge between the well-known Beryl composite window manager and Compiz Extras, a community set of improvements to the Compiz composite window manager. Compiz Fusion aims to provide an easy and fun-to-use windowed environment, allowing use of the graphics hardware to render each individual window and the entire screen, to provide some impressive effects, speed and usefulness. The first Compiz Fusion developer release was Compiz Fusion 0.5.2 on August 13th 2007, shortly after Compiz 0.5.2 was released.I just find it funny that Linux and its many variants are focusing so much on bling rather than actually much needed user function. I've used Ubuntu and Redhat for our servers at work, I even use it for my webserver at home. But one thing that really annoys me is the lack of webcam support and the fact that almost 90% of the time all this bling doesn't even work!
Vista at least performed well on my ATI All-in-wonder 9600 but Ubuntu fucking crapped out!!!! They say its the driver blame it on ATI blah blah, interestingly I tried Sabayon and on the fucking livecd it actually had the uber spinning desktop cube, but after I installed and it, the damn thing said something about direct rendering etc. fuck fuck fuck!!! What the fuck is wrong with this fuck, I spent like my entire evening trying to get this fuck working and nothing!
Linux ready for desktop, yeah probably by the time we send a guy to saturn or something.Powered by ScribeFire.
many.
Pretty stable to, only time it crashed was when I tried Playstation emulation and I guess the CDR plugin crashed the system.So I was reading this article in slashdot and was playing with the server. I pretty much have done everything they have on that article except for using eaccelerator or apc.
So I decided to give eaccelerator a try, it seems to be easy to install and found a lot of stuff online about it. It wasn't on the default ubuntu repositories so I had to manually install it.
That one is the one I followed to install it on my ubuntu dapper box. http://2bits.com/articles/installing-eaccelerator-0-9-5-1-on-ubuntu-feisty-7-04.html (to get phpize install php-dev from the deb sources)
Seems to work great and I am loving it! Hope you guys see a difference on the server performance now. I observed that galleries when cached load up in about 0.01-0.14 seconds.
I never liked divx movies before cause of their proprietary format but it seems they are making some nice features and improvements on divx quality. The videos from the stage6 website are clear and they load real fast. Also I'm finding a lot of Ayu's videos in there and also new artist I haven't seen or heard before. They also let you download the videos for free!
Try watching this music video of Ai and trust me you will fall in love with her cute smile ^_^ (Kuroge-Wagyu-Joshio-Tanyaki-680-Yen)
I also liked this one ( Momo no Hanabira )
I do tech support for friends and as a side job, I was helping a friend last night with her new PC that Windows Vista Home Premium, connect to the internet.
Now I consider myself to be tech savvy enough to configure just about anything on a computer. But wow was I in for a big surprise, vista changed so much from windows xp and even from the beta versions I tested that I just gave up, we could get her computer to connect to the internet through her DSL connection.
The funny thing is, I know that the internet connection is working because her msn messenger works. IE7 nor Firefox would not connect to the internet, when I tried to use vista's diagnostics to check for problems it says none found, when I tried to add a new connection it says that I'm already connected to the internet. But when I try to visit any website it says I'm not connected, the thing that bugs me is yahoo messenger and msn messenger works!!!
Fuck vista the effects looks nifty but they really fucked bad with interface on this one. I guess they were attempting to make the OS easier for new users, but for someone who has used windows half of his life this thing didn't look easy to me.
Linux or Mac for me next time I upgrade, and personally I'm going to recommend those two to all my customers now.
Fixed the error messages on the website so now non-members can easily find out how to join SG. I tried to join a Filipino torrent tracker site and after reading several rules pages and readmes and getting my tracker account and forum account it turns out that I have to either submit an original content or give the admin $5 to use their tracker. Forget it!
So then I checked back at SG and realized that the error messages for new members were confusing and also non of them worked since the site was moved. Well now users get a much nicer page when they try to visit the galleria without all the necessary requirements.
The Asian Model Directory is almost done, I hate the way the AsiaNude4U CSV is setup. So I guess what we have for AN4U will do for now, the 88Square and A4U galleries are okay.
Searching for model names also work, I still need to make another search that can do search for tattoos, skin color, breast size etc. I hope you guys like the AMD, its an improvement from the previous A4U directory if you ask me.
Argh working on the Asian Model Directory is giving me a headache, basically different series made different directory hierarchy and I have to allow the script to adapt to different levels of folders.
I thought I got it right already I already uploaded 88Square 1-19, then on CD20 the script breaks cause of the Halloween set.
Revised the slide viewer for the galleria, just minor changes with the cosmetics. There's still a bug with the picture moving forward when you change the zoom.
Cache_lite rocks! Without it my bandwidth was taking tremendous hit and now it takes a page in the cache 0.13 - 0.3 seconds to load. Had to reconfigure much of the existing pages as I was using it incorrectly
The whole site is looking much better now, more organized than before. Still got lots of plan for more features, one of them a model directory that identifies each model from different series. I know a lot of people miss the A4U Database. Hopefully I'll get it done tomorrow.
Finished the thumbnail version of the galleria and the random pics page. They both turned out quite nicely.
Well the server had a hiccup. . . actually I kicked the powerstrip and the whole thing just went down. This is a temporary server, I will move the site again to another server that has more disk space. Scary though on windows when the power shuts down mysql never had a problem recovering, on this server the tables got corrupted.
I found this old image on one of my CD's, this was back in college when I was running SG on an old pentium III. I had an 18 gb of HD space back then, now I have more than a terrabyte of HD space.
So what's going on why is Site Geisha down you ask? Well currently migrating the entire site to my Ubuntu server.
The move went smoothly in fact I've also rewritten the galleria code and optimized the download code. I tested PHPBB3 Beta 5, but sadly the authentication script I use no longer works with it. So I guess we're stuck with PHPBB2 for awhile until PHPBB3 gets out of beta or until I can reconfigure the script.
Apache2 works so much better than IIS, with mod_deflate enabled I can conserve my bandwidth too. Also to save disk space full thumbnail previews are no longer available, only the first row of pics get a thumbnail.
Any suggestions/comments don't hesistate to email me, your admin ^_^ who's working solo to get SG back for all of you.
