How To Auto Mount Windows Partition In Ubuntu 11.10

Just install pysdm (Storage Device Manager).

You may also try Mount Manager.

Note: It is more recommended to manually edit fstab to auto mount your windows partition.

An Alternative To KOrganizer: Evolution Mail And Calendar

If you want something like KOrganizer for reminders, you can install Evolution Mail and Calendar from the Software Center. I've tested it and it works in Ubuntu 11.10.

You just export from KOrganizer to .ics format and import it in Evolution.

I saw Evolution Mail and Calendar available for Windows too. Just Google it (Note: I've never tried this yet in Windows).

This is good for Windows 7 users since there is no default Calendar reminders for it, unless you buy Microsoft Office with Outlook in it, which is really expensive nowadays. I really can't understand why they removed this feature that is available in Windows Vista.

I guess, we'll never know.

KOrganizer Reminders Not Working In Ubuntu 11.10

I just had a problem with KOrganizer's reminders. No fix.

Is it just me or this always happen in Linux world? One thing they fixed it then the next time there it is again. My patience is trying, but I just couldn't bear it. It's like this will go on forever, like a turning wheel that never ends.

2012 International CES Jan 10-13

This new year, why don't we attend a conference and learn something new.
International CES 2012 will be next week January 10-13. As someone I know puts it, "Innovation makes the impossible, possible!"

Note: I won't be there since I'm on the other side of the Earth. But, it's right to recommend good things to my readers.

I guess, TVs are not only for watching anymore.

How Google Is Helping Our Country

A tropical storm sent hundred thousands of Filipinos devastated leaving them helpless, losing their homes, loved ones, everything. Now, their only hope is the kindness of other people, so people still alive can continue with their lives and rebuild what was lost.

When everyone is buying Christmas gifts, having parties, the people in Mindanao are suffering dearly from the fury of nature. This might be our punishment from God from all we have done wrong, and we pray that He will forgive us and save us from this.

Relying on those rich and wealthy to help our fellow men, Google helped us even in a small way. Giving us the best Christmas gift of all.

Thank you!
