Ubuntu Gutsy on My Laptop: Not Winning My Heart

I installed Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon on my laptop past week. The Wifi setup is horrible! What a terrible interface. I can’t get it to work, I can’t seem to undo my mistakes. If you can’t make Wifi simple, you are not going to win converts.

It’s ridiculous to ask the user what kind of encryption in on the access point. When I sit down at a coffee house, how do I know what kind of encryption the WAP is using? Hell, 99% of the time if you ask the staff they just give you a blank stare. No other OS vendor I know of requires you give the encryption type… Poor design.

Barcamp Bangkok on Fukduk.tv

Fukduk.tv did a nice piece on Barcamp Bangkok. It’s mostly in Thai–but you get a feel for Barcamp Bangkok. I have a short (but very insightful) appearance near the end–so don’t stop part-way through!
