Updates….
Sorry for not updating… lets talk about
English Premier League
Liverpool, again this season reached 4th place. 11 points away from United (deservedly champions). Liverpool had lacked the cutting edge to beat teams when necessary. Drew too many games. Fernando Torres was the only highlight of the whole team. Torres scoring 20+ goals in his debut season is simply superb. Whether he can keep it up next season remains to be seen. The new formation 4231 has been rather effective last few months of the EPL with Gerrard playing attacking midfielder/supporting striker. Brilliants signings.. Javier Mascherano, Martin Skrtel and Babel. Can’t wait for Agger to get back in the team. Risse has been tremendously poor – Sell Him!. Alonso, brilliant passer…. poor season really… but I’m not so sure we should sell him yet. Lucas is still new but promising. Crouch – feel sorry for him. Rafa should use him more often. Bring him on the second half of the game cos he can cause trouble with his height… defenders have a hard time dealing with him. Kuyt…. performed better when he was switched to right winger… but is that all this guy can offer? The owners, co owners, Gillette and Hicks… embarrasing. Their squable has made Liverpool a laughing stock. And we should be if these two don’t buck up and give the cash to buy quality players to challege the likes of United, Chelsea and Arsenal. Nuff said.
Champions League
Chelsea could have nicked this game. Hit the post twice in the second half although they could have been down by 3-0 in the first half for some poor defending. Ronaldo was all over Essien (who make a make shift right back) and I believe that was the problem. In the second half, Essein improved and the best thing he did was to attack… best form of defending. United, well to say they played brilliant.. can’t really say.. but they won it. Otherwise, the game was rather not that entertaining.
Battlestar Galactica Season 4
Man… this show just keeps me (and my brother!) in awe! Brilliant script.. more revelations as each episode goes on. Who is the 5th Cylon? Don’t know yet…more later..
UBUNTU
Well, managed to download the latest UBUNTU 8.04 distro… and wow.. the installation was just simply and quick. Took me some time to figure out the partitioning/formatting style as I was afraid it would accidentally wipe/install on a partition that I had files in. Nevertheless, once upon installing it… UBUNTU figured out all the neccessary settings, especially the net and I was online immediately using Firefox 3.0 beta version. There were many updates available and it took almost 2 hours to download all the patches. Once that was installed…. it was perfect. The initial installation only allow 800 by 600 resolution on my Samsung monitor. Once the updates were make .. my resolution was better … up to 1680 by 800… good stuff!!
Nevertheless, I feel it’s still difficult to market for the general public. I like it cos it’s fast and at least now I know if my Windows fails on me.. I have an alternative OS to surf the net with. Lots more to learn about it.
VISTA
