Some interesting books!

Among many other hundreds of books which I should be reading, this essential biochemistry seems to be one! Credit goes to Jukka Nurminen, our cross-business area collaborator for introducing the book. Though shalt be read, Mr. Biochemistry! The second book that Jukka introduced was Bioinformatics: sequence and genome analysis. Well, I was familiar with this book earlier; so this was a reminder for the relevance of this book to me, now more than ever!

Installation of ATI catalyst propreitary driver on LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition)

Google turns up many posts explaining how to install the ATI catalyst proprietary drivers on LMDE. Take this post as just an additional information. In my case, the installation did not work until I accidentally installed another package, x11-xserver-utils.  Thus, in my case, the installation of the drivers was as follows: sudo apt-get install x11-xserver-utils sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx* sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install fglrx-driver fglrx-control sudo /usr/bin/aticonfig --initial sudo reboot I think the reason it worked this way was because computer couldn't recognize the correct graphic device version before the installation of x11-xserver-utils.

Chetta idea - 1

Alternative title: proposal for a health care project. Diseases such as hypertension (high blood pressure), diabetes, obesity are becoming so common nowadays. It is hard to find people with no diseases. The lifestyle is certainly to be blamed. But what is the use if we just shut our mouth after finding the right thing to blame? Or how would I be different if I leave it there. So, here is a proposal for an automatic health-care system. Well, I know there maybe some treatments, but the idea here is to prevent the diseases. But, prevention really demands prediction of the disease occurrance much before the disease symptoms show off. But, since I am not a palmist or an astrologist, my proposal is to develop a method to stop the disease as soon as its onset or the symptoms appear. OK... it will become more clear as I go with the concrete examples. I would like to concentrate on hypertension and diabetes, because they appear to be the most common diseases. As most of you know, the best cure...

A-link pad 10 review

I ordered this a-link pad 10 on 16.5 (from: (http://www.a-link.com/fi/PAD10/product.php) . It is a totally whimsical decision because there are no reviews about it in the internet. I picked up my tablet from a-link "store" in Tuomarila on 18.5. After I picked up, I went to VTT and charged it there while I was working. After that I got it home and have been testing. Test results (cons) in no specific order: 1. As of now, the touch doesn't work. Luckily I enabled under developer settings an option to show the visual feedback on touch. Because of that I know the reason why the tablet doesn't respond to touch. Apparently, there is a huge error the tablet makes as to where I touch. So, when I want to touch an OK button which is in the middle of the screen and put I finger right on the button, the tablet interprets my finger to be somewhere on the bottom left corner! For this reason, I am not able to use the tablet for the last 30 minutes. Since I am able to se...
