I don't know if it's just my pc or is it because of the "slow" connection that we have at home that my computer cannot seem to get the needed update. Gee! It's the same error as the last when I updated.
I am actually getting tired. Not of using ubuntu, tired of the things happening around me that I am getting annoyed of this error.
I hope this'll resolve soon.

Launchy? How about Gnome Do
Today, mama said that I need to send a fascimile message home-- see my daughter was admitted to the hospital and needed some paper works for my insurance to clear in the hospital. I thought, okay, I should encode it and have it printed in the cafe downstairs.
I got used to using shortcuts in Windows. Even back in XP when I installed stardock and then Launchy, that was pre-win 7 days. It became much easier in Win 7 when I can just type it on the space provided after hitting the windows sign. (Pardon for the very layman term, I'm no IT person).
Anyway, I was on Ubuntu (almost all the weekend!) with Mr. Drew and I thought there should be a shortcut on how I can access applications in Linux. Surely, if windows have it, Linux will have more! lol!
So after the sending the message home, I went to check out Launchy for Linux. Again, I was not let down. It has! Well, first, I never really thought that it was open-source... So there I was, summoning the "sudo apt-get" thing for linux. I feel like I am a geek when I type that on the terminal! lol.
After that, I posted something on my Facebook wall. Lo, and behold, my Ubunutu-guru replied. There's Gnome-do. And he said has way better plugins. I was like, hmmmm...
Okay, hit google. Find Gnome-do. Silly me, its in the Synaptic Package Manager! And I do not have to summon the terminal to do it. System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager.
I keyed in Gnome-do, and Hit apply. I figured out Docky layout. And here's what I got:
So, verdict? Gnome-do has so much more to offer compared to Launchy.
