As the title stated, these are all I did today. Didn’t really online and tweet. Just some casual yet simple task today. However, something I find out about both systems though.

The longer it runs the better it gets

My Macbook need some heat. It doesn’t work well on first hour or more, but after the period of cooling, it will runs as I tell. I did a few print design today with it, files was approximately 15 to 25MB, without a dim problem with it, beside, of course the heat problem.

Too much USB causing a slow down

I can’t tell why yet, as I plugged the third USB device, it slowed down and start to lag, doesn’t matter which application I open, it took ages. The running processes also slow. What I plugged were 1, USB hub with a keyboard and a wireless mouse. 2, 3G USB modem, 3, External HDD. As soon as I plugged in the external HDD, it slow down and lag. Probably too heavy to run a huge (80GB) storage device?

Well, it is still good, I think I’m going to keep it for a moment and see what would I jump into before fixing myself into any operating system yet. I am seriously getting bored of designing this few month. I wanted to work on online traffic building and marketing at the moment. Just before I start off with a small agency, I need to at least know the most important aspect of one website-related office.

Anyway, speaking of cleaning Ubuntu, I think GtkOrphan is enough I tried to login to all system folders to see if there’s any leftover, but none I found, great work Ubuntu! And please make a better and stable version on next release? I’ll be upgrading to Ubuntu 9.04 once I step back home next month, the CDs just arrived home

I changed to Macbook for 2 days, test drive again after 6 months. Well, still the same, I think all these shits happen on my Macbook only and not others…

Slow

Opening windows and application is way slow comparing with Vista and Ubuntu. Though the system is faster, but I still believe a vendor who created the operating system and hardware should have a better performance.

Mouse

I need to stress this again. Without laser mouse or 1000dpi mouse, Mac OSX Tiger just don’t run that smooth. I am using a 800dpi mouse, in Vista and Ubuntu it runs well. Not in Mac OSX Tiger. That’s a down turn. I just cannot afford a mighty mouse. I am giving chance to Apple by buying their product, but they did not give me a chance to use/buy their product in long term.

Fragile

Macbook white 1.83GHz, bought 3 years ago. As fragile as it gets. Let’s see, I get battery defeated, DVD-ROM down, screen flickering… Almost everything that can be taken down has been broken. I don’t know how long it can stand anymore.

Anyway, just a few side note here:

1. Going to be busy due to some big personal event.
2. Friend went to Singapore to get an opportunity but ended up the medical check out that he need Mesothelioma treatment so he has been bounce back home again.
3. Parent is coming on August. Spent some money for their ticket already.

Obviously I wouldn’t be able to update too much on all my blog. But of course I will try my best for update my experience with the OS I have with me
