Update/grade
Its been a long time since i updated here so here goes got myself a total system upgrade a tft screen, Nvidia 3d accelarator card and a lot of other goodies. Have loaded Kubuntu Feisty Fawn as my OS the amount of support for 3D acclerator cards that is moving in to this release is amazing. Also got myself the latest build of Beryl, Beryl is bascially a combined window manager and composite manager a fork of the compiz project, its a software which adds huge amount of UI improvements to the linux window mangers effects like transperency, window decorations(Emerald Themes), Desktop Cube etc. Beryl is a UI experince which adds a rich layer of interactivity to Gnome and KDE. Beryl makes the job of using the computer a real pleasure something that needs to be experienced to be really appreciated.
Among other things have been verey exited about the Gaussian blur filter built into Inkscape its the first SVG filter being implemented, there is a cool tututorial at Red Hat which explores the design possibilities with the Gaussian Blur. Feels verey cool that i can creat inner glows and skewed drop shadows for my design with Inkscape.
Mashup Dream
In a weird dream yesterday night heard a car go by playing the song Hey Now full blast
You better leave your lights on
‘Cause there’s a monster
Livin’ under my bed
I peeped under my cot to see a big blue shining icon of IE7
looking forward to all the sleep less nights
Final Speech of "The Great Dictator" (also known as "Look Up, Hannah") by Charlie Chaplin
The Great Dictator
Hope… I’m sorry but I don’t want to be an Emperor – that’s not my business – I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible, Jew, gentile, black man, white. We all want to help one another, human beings are like that.
We all want to live by each other’s happiness, not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone and the earth is rich and can provide for everyone.

Was remembering how i and you had met for the first time on that lonely dark day of my life. You were sitting in the cafe appearing to be waiting for some one (i knew deep inside that you weren’t) looking more and more lonely depressed by the minute. That was when i decided that nothing was worth any of my efforts. Walked to the pan shop bought a cigarette on credit took the elevator to the terrace of my office building. Dark and empty as usual lit my cigarette bent down to see the pavement twenty stories below with the same thoughts running through my head. A four second fall give or take a second and all the lights get switched off. Permanently. i heard distant footsteps and the door behind me creaking; i turned around to see you standing in the door. You where startled to find some one else already in your place, you walked over to the edge leaned out and said “four seconds give or take a second.” “Do you have another of those” you asked pointing at my cigarette. “My last ciggy” i said and you asked whether i would mind sharing it with you? well actually i wouldn’t mind sharing anything with you. off course we ended up sharing our lives.

Three years after our official marriage was when we decided to adopt a child. We had reached the decision long ago that we would not have kids of our own, enough of pain and suffering you said but your mom was very persistent. We chose him or he chose us is a very difficult thing to say. The nun was very happy to hand him over to us. He said “Good morning” you asked him his name and he asked “what’s yours?” for the next three hours or so we didn’t stop talking though he was a six year old he was far ahead of us emotionally. An accident had killed all his relatives; he was the sole survivor of a bus crash. Since the age of three he had been bought up by the nuns. “What is this?” “What is that?” “That is the computer” “that is a cigarette pack” “You shouldn’t smoke cigarettes” “Yes its bad for the health” He rebelled against your cigarette smoking habit. He used to stare at you as you lit your cigarette and went typing on your computer. He tried every trick in the book to make you quit. We even went through a ten day period of silence. i guess you never noticed the time fly. Type. Type. Type. It was only after you completed the book did you start noticing the things around us. You just stopped buying the cigarette packs. We where so happy. You had made me promise me that i would not read your book till either you where dead or we had reached the age of fifty, strange but i had accepted. The book became a bestseller. People from far and near started calling you some even wrote letters. They even gave you a prestigious award for the book. The three of us grew older. You wrote five more books and let me read them all. Once in a while elderly couples or even teenagers would call up or drop in to say that your first book is the most wonderful book they ever read. Time rolled on he got married and moved on. The other day i found a copy of your book lying on my table.
Reading the book was like touching you deep inside. I understand what it is when all the people around me asked weather i had read the book. That night on the roof we had almost made an end to our lives; i am so glad that we didn’t.
