About Me

My Photo
New York, NY, United States
I am Karthik, known to many as TJ, a student of Electrical Engineering at Columbia University in the great city of New York. I am doing PhD in Integrated Circuit (IC) Design. Engineering is my primary interest and it is my dream to become an engineer like Tony Stark (Iron man). Photography, running, cooking and aimless traveling are some of my other interests. Steve Jobs and Kamal Hassan (an Indian actor) are my biggest inspirations. I use this blog to share my travel experiences, interesting recipes and any other story that I feel compelled to share.

Ubuntu Upgrade

I upgraded my OS to Ubuntu 10.04. The update went smooth except for 2 glitches. Wifi did not work initially but it got sorted by itself upon restarting the system. Secondly, youtube videos played without sound while amarok worked just fine. The problem turned out to be a conflict between flash 9 and 10. Typing about:plugin in firefox address bar confirmed this and rm ~/.mozilla//plugins/libflashplayer.so solved the problem.

Also, I installed the Mac OS theme for my desktop. The desktop is as shown in the screenshot below.
