If you have cups installed on your Debian and facing issues in printing from Mozilla Firefox, Thunderbird and Acrobat Reader, you might want to try installing cupsys-bsd.

It is a long time since the last post. A lot of things happened since the last post. Just a quick update on how things are moving.

• I have successfuly installed Debian GNU/Linux SID on my Toshiba Satellite A80 laptop and configured almost all essential applications. I will put up a mini how-to shortly on this.
• Basically nulled out my bank balance on buying a lot of stuffs for the US trip.
• Reached San Francisco on a fine evening of 21st Feb. This is my first international trip and it was good. The best part is that I haven’t felt any jet lag or whatever.
• Got introduced to our team in Palo Alto office. It is a great team to work with.
• Did some shopping in Albertsons, Namaste plasa, etc. for our daily cooking. Yeah, I mean that even here we make our food daily
• Did some shopping form Radioshack and Frys electronics. More details on the electronics gadgets later. Frys is a very big shop and whatever I looked there, I wanted to buy. Should come back here after some solid bank balance.
• Planning to drop the idea of setting up a 7.1 sound system at home after reading this article.

I am also plannig to buy an iPod and some essential (that I feel is) gears for the iPod. I think people are going so crazy about iPod and I realize it so much after seeing the accessories that comes to the market everyday. Just take a look at the top 10 strangest iPod accessories here.

I am literally breaking my head for the last two days on installing Debian on my new Toshiba A80-P4321 laptop. I hope I will make some progress tonight. I will write a a new post on the installation.

The gentlemen Dutch, English, Painter, and Writer are all teachers at the same secondary school. Each teacher teaches two different subjects.

Furthermore:

• Three teachers teach Dutch language
• There is only one math teacher
• There are two teachers for chemistry
• Two teachers, Simon and mister English, teach history
• Peter doesn’t teach Dutch language
• Steven is chemistry teacher
• Mister Dutch doesn’t teach any course that is tought by Karl or mister Painter.

The Question: What is the full name of each teacher and which two subjects does each one teach?

Brian L. Clark, a new Gizmodo writer has a written a nice small article about the fast growing IPTV segment.

I have got the B1 visa for visiting US yesterday. This is my first international visa on the passport. I am very happy about it. I think that mostly it would be a 10 year, multiple entry visa. Have to wait and see. If all goes well, I should leave India by Feb, 21
