Ubuntu fixed CD writing

It seems burning CD is a bit of problem under Linux, however, this may now be a thing of the past. Yesterday, I decided to burn a audio CD with my IDE CD Writer, and surprisingly, it went through almost perfect.

Virtualbox 3.1.2

VirtualBox is great utility, however, it isn't perfect. One of the annoying problems is its networking. If you are using desktop, it isn't much a problem. However, if you are using laptop, VirtualBox's NAT implementation seems to fail if you switch between networking connectors, which is very common in laptop. For instance, I may move from my WiFi connection to cable connection. This would result lost connection to my Guest System.

With the new version, I can at least regain the connection by change the connection from NAT -> Bridge and back to NAT again as I can dynamically change my connectiont type in the new version. It isn't perfect, but it gets the job done.

I have tried various virtualization solution, and VirtualBox is still my favorite due to its wide range of supported formats, and its speed. While we are talking about speed, the latest version finally fixed the Hardware Virtualization support on my VIA chipset motherboard. Previously, it would caused BSOD, but now, it works perfectly! Hurray!

Chrome

Since Chrome is now available on Linux, I decided to give a trial. I have tried the Window version before, but I don't like it such to its "lack" of security features. With Firefox, you can set it up to delete privacy information on exit. However, there isn't anything remotely close in Chrome. It is minimal and far too minimal for my taste.

For my date to date browser, I will still do it on Firefox as there is nothing come close to its plug-in ecosystem. However, Chrome has its places for certain "application" where tabs needed to open and close constantly. With Firefox, activities of such would gradually degrade its performance due to memory issues. If Chrome can manage memory as it advertise, it should handle this type of situation much better with its process base tabs. Well, time will tell.

AutoMKV

I do a bit video conversion every now and then, and the tool I am using for the job is AutoMKV which is almost idiot proof. However, I always have trouble to run it under Windows Vista/7. Today, I come across a post in a forum said that it may be due to missing .NET Framework 1.1 installed. I will give it another try later and see if this fix my problem.
