Today I went to watch Night at the Museum and to my surprise I found Dick Van Dyke in that, was really happy to see him in a movie after a long time and he really did dance like how he danced in Mary Poppins (1964) in the end of the movie. He is also giving his voice in Curious George (2006).

Dick in Mary Poppins:

Night at the Museum is a B+ according to me and worth watching at least once.

It’s become a common question right now that why FireFox 2 is not available on the Fedora Core 6 default package repositories? The answer seems to be on the FireFox 2 page of the Fedora Project Wiki. A small quote from this page:

For a variety of reasons, we are not planning to update to Firefox 2.0. We are instead focusing resources on Firefox 3.0, which will provide much more substantial benefits. We understand that some users will be willing to accept the risk of running Firefox 2.0 to gain compatibility with new extensions (e.g., Zotero and Halfnote). We have made available an experimental version of Firefox 2.0. However, we must stress that we believe the best experience for Fedora users will be to stay with Firefox 1.5 and wait for the Firefox 3.0 update. The experimental development version is available here:

You can also install the development version. Warning: This might result in instability.

$ yum --enablerepo=development install firefox

There are alternative ways posted over the Internet to install FireFox 2 onto Fedora Core 6, Jason Burns writes about one of them.

How do I change my Bluetooth ID of my Moto phone, how do I sync data using SyncML, how do I increase the loudspeaker volume beyond the default maximun, how do I flash my phone with latest/custom made firmware, how do I telnet to my Linux Moto Phone, how do I telnet/ssh from my phone, what games are fully compatible with my Moto? And all the answers of all your queries… get it on motorolafans.com’s forums.

After giving some respite to Orkut I am back on it again, hope the scrappy thingi is not so crappy anymore. Really missed the connections with my oldies-goldies and couldn’t resist coming back.

Today I installed FC6 on my Compaq Presario V2000, had to do some tweaks to get the WiFi running. Here is what I did:

1) Install Livna RPM Repository information:

$ rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-6.rpm

2) Install ipw2200 firmware:

$ yum install ipw2200-firmware

3) Add following to /etc/modprobe.conf:

options ipw2200 hwcrypto=1 associate=0

4) Add ESSID and CHANNEL in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1:


ESSID=
CHANNEL=


5) Add the KEY (WEP or WPA etc.) to
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/keys-eth1.

6) Start:

$ ifup eth1

It starting working for me, did less struggle as compared to FC5.

That’s me in YEP 2006, thanks to Sujoy for this photograph. Everything in the tag list of this post was there :). Really an Awesome Party.
