New Laptop — HP Pavilion dv5-1235ee

I bought a new laptop few days ago. I just installed Fedora 10 64-Bit… I am still customizing my setup!!
However, This laptop is awesome! The specs are:
* AMD Turion(tm) X2 Ultra Dual-Core Mobile ZM-84 (2.3Ghz)
* 4GB of RAM
* 400GB Disk

Fedora 10 got everything working out of the box, no special drivers hacks were required.

Change file names case from upper case to lower case

A friend of mine asked me a good question, he copied files from a Windows Partition to his Linux partition, and some of the files had upper case letters. He wanted to convert all file names to lower case, and they were lots of files, thus he didn’t want to change them one by one. He asked me how to do it, and I helped him out.
Its a simple line to convert all files from upper case to lowercase

for i in `ls`; do old=$i; new=`echo $i | tr [:upper:] [:lower:]`; mv $old $new; done;

And all files in the same directory are converted to lower case.

I just got my new Blackberry Bold 9000

I always wanted the Bold, but it took me so much time to get one. Anyway, I finally got one now!!

I will write about the new firmware once its loaded and tested.

See you when you get there — by Coolio

I started the car this morning, and my oldies CD started playing. While I was waiting for the car engine to warm up, this wonderful song started playing…
The song name is I see you when you get there, by Coolio.

A part of the song that I really liked:

Life is a big game so you gotta play it with a big horse
Someone’s gotta run a little faster
Coz we gotta lay the course I’d be a fool to surrender
When I know I can be a contender

Listen to the song on Youtube, and lyrics on LyricsTime.
