Ubuntu v10.10 just released!

  • A new font for Ubuntu

  • Improved sound menu and added sound control buttons
  • Upgraded Nautilus for better file management

I was in heaven

Last night at 2:45 AM, I went for a walk in the snow. It was a peaceful and silent night, with no one else around. The only sound was the crunching of snow under my feet. It felt like I was in heaven.

The stillness of the night was only interrupted by the occasional flurries of snow, falling from the sky and landing softly on the ground. It was as if the world was in slow motion and I was the only person experiencing it.

As I walked through the quiet streets, I was filled with a sense of gratitude and awe. I felt connected to the world in a deeper way and appreciated the simple beauty of the moment.

In those few minutes, I was reminded of how powerful and calming a quiet and solitary moment can be. It was a reminder to slow down and appreciate the world around me. And I am grateful for that reminder.

How to destroy a TV show?

So, I’m watching “Prison Break” and my neighbor has already seen the whole series. And he drops a bomb on me – Michael is going to die in the end. Wow, I never saw that coming. I’m only a few episodes in and already have a major plot twist revealed to me. Gotta love having a neighbor who’s ahead of the game. But on the other hand, part of the excitement of watching a show is the anticipation of what’s going to happen next. Guess I’ll just have to keep watching and see if my neighbor was right. But in any case, if you’re behind on “Prison Break,” watch out for spoilers from well-informed neighbors!

Another September

Summer’s over and I can’t believe how happy I am about it. Finally, I escaped that crazy environment and feel relaxed in every way. After 12 years, of course.

Tomorrow, I have a job interview. I never wanted to be a designer only, but I hope something good comes of it. I can’t live without work.

I also need to take care of this phone battery. If I let it die, it takes forever to charge.

Finding Purpose Beyond the Books

I’m sitting at my desk, surrounded by books and papers, trying to study for my exams. It’s a typical evening for me, as I’ve always been driven to succeed in school and make the most of my education.

But despite my best efforts, I can’t help feeling a sense of boredom and restlessness. I’m tired of the endless cycle of studying and taking exams, and I yearn for something more meaningful and fulfilling in my life.

I think about all the people in the world who have used their education and knowledge to make a real impact, to change lives and make the world a better place. And I know that I want to do the same.

But I’m not quite sure how to get started, or what I should focus on. There are so many problems in the world, and I feel like I could make a difference in so many different areas. But at the same time, I don’t want to spread myself too thin and not have a real impact in any one area.

I decide to take a break from studying and go for a walk. As I wander through the streets, I reflect on what’s truly important to me and what I’m passionate about. I think about all the causes and issues that I care deeply about, and I start to get a clearer picture of what I want to do with my life.

I return to my desk, reinvigorated and inspired. I may not have all the answers yet, but I know that I’m on the right path, and that I’ll find my way to making a difference in the world.

And for now, I’ll continue to study and work hard in school, knowing that my education will be the foundation for the meaningful and impactful life that I’m striving for.

The Summer of Self-Discovery

It’s a warm summer night, and I’m lying on the grass, looking up at the stars. I’m 17 years old, and for the first time, I feel like I’m on the brink of discovering who I am and what I want from life.

As I gaze up at the endless expanse of the universe, I imagine all the possibilities that lie ahead of me. I picture myself traveling to far-off lands, meeting new and interesting people, and making a real impact on the world.

But then I think about all the uncertainties and fears that come with growing up. What if I make the wrong choices? What if I never find my place in the world? These thoughts can be overwhelming, and I sometimes feel like I’m not ready for the responsibilities of adulthood.

But then I remember that I have the power to shape my own destiny, to create the life that I want. And I know that as long as I stay true to myself and follow my passions, everything will work out in the end.

I close my eyes and take a deep breath, feeling a sense of peace and contentment wash over me. I know that the journey ahead will be filled with twists and turns, but I’m ready to embrace the unknown and see where it takes me.

This is a special time in my life, a time of endless potential and endless possibilities. And I’m excited to see where the future will take me, and what kind of person I’ll become.

I just won Tabriz Computer Competition!

I heard about the competition from my school principal and without hesitation, I signed up. On the day of the competition, I showed up and gave it my all. And boy, was I pleasantly surprised! The competition was a lot smoother and easier than I had imagined.

But the real surprise came when I was walking through the school halls the next day. I saw a banner hanging and my name was on it! I had won the first place in the Tabriz Computer Competition.

Winning that competition was a defining moment for me. It made me realize the power of hard work and determination. I also learned that you never know what you’re capable of until you try. So don’t be afraid to chase your dreams and compete in the things you’re passionate about. You never know where it might take you.

So, to all the aspiring computer enthusiasts out there, my advice to you is to keep pushing yourself and never give up. You might just surprise yourself with what you can achieve.
