My Guitar melodies
This page lists some of my buzzing bits. I dedicate this page to my master Shireesh and his Zeppelin riffs.
I own a Ibanez V200S solid top acoustic guitar at present and have owned Takamine S35 spruce top acoustic in the past. Both are sturdy and sound sweet in standard tuning. I'm just a novice who comes home after having a frustrated day at work and plays some random cacaphonic notes to chill myself.
On a day before one of my birthdays, I tried a couple of shots with a "sort of" clean configuration. Though the ambience was not perfect, these snaps turned out to be acceptable by the society :)

VirtualBox
Last night, I tried installing Sun's Virtualbox in Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope. Virtual box was very similar to VMWARE in its configuration. I installed Windows Vista in Virtualbox and wanted to check its performance. I allocated 20GB dynamic diskspace for the VDI (virtual disk image) file, 700 MB for RAM and the installation of Vista went without even a single glitch.
All my hardware devices (including Audio) worked perfectly. Initially USB didn't work as Virtualbox 2.2 (that comes with Ubuntu) didn't have USB support. I then downloaded Virtualbox 3.0 from their website. After installing it, all my USB devices started working. Internet connection was automatically configured using NAT placing my Ubuntu's ethernet IP as Gateway. I did nothing!! I remember i was able to copy text back and forth between the native OS and virtual OS in VMWare. I wasn't able to do that in Virtualbox.
I started my career installing and configuring VMWare workstation. I felt its a superb piece of software that time. But after using Sun's Virtualbox, I couldn't stop my excitement. Performance of both the native OS and virtual OS was wonderful. Its much much much better than VMWare. Its so good to see the rapid development of free software and the shape its taking these days. It feels much better to live with it.Labels: Techie Talk
