First solo overnight cycling experience part-2

Image
Day 2 It was hard for me to woke up this day. It was around 8:00 am when I finally got out of bed. The due were frozen on the grass tip and hence it looked pretty white outside. But the sun had already up on the sky to make the environment warm again. Packed the bag again and had noodles as breakfast as there was no alternative this early. The National Park office was nearby the hotel and the officer came to me to ask about the ticket. But as there were no National park office from where I entered, I had to buy the ticket there. I was shocked to know that I had to pay double of my ticket for my bike. NRs 56 for me and NRs 100 for my bike. I was shocked more to know that few month ago the ticket for mountain bike was NRs 1000 ($10). :( Anyway paid that and on the way at 8:50 am. Route that day was mostly unknown. 90% of the route was complete inside the national park. But as I got enough rest that night I could paddle easily. And another good news was that the path was expected to be do...

First solo overnight cycling experience part-1

Image
Trip started from Gwarko Lalitpur. I had figured out a shortcut to reach the main way that I was about to that day and was cycling. Ya reached on the Sankhu-Sindhupalchwok highway at Thali, Kathmandu. This is a paved way and hence easier to paddle ahead. But there is no solution for hills which I have to climb. From Lapse Phedi('phedi' means base of hill) I had to climb for around 1 hour or so to reach Jarsing Pauwa. Then after my way was mostly downhill upto Everest Tea Garden, which was my primary destination for that day. But as they were converting that tea garden to organic one, it was closed and the tea plant were being cut down for replantation. It was around 1:30 pm and hence I decided to proceed further. My next point was reach Chisapani, Newakot and spend night there. But for that i had to climb another hill and where there is no paved way, not even graveled. And hence i had to push my bike most of the time. I was pushing my bike on Haibung VDC of Sindhupalchwok Distr...

Don't Screw Up is screwing up

Image
Recently I got chance to play new game on my Android. I would like to say my type of game i.e. simple, stupid. :) Its named Don't Screw Up! but it is really screwing up my mind. It is very straight game as there is no logic behind. All you have to do is keep on following the instruction given to you on the screen. And the instruction were not tough either. They are simple instruction like to tap twice, swipe or wait for next instruction. They do have time limit for you to follow the instruction. The only problem with it is it uses different language for instruction and most often that obscure. You got to read the line, analyze it to find out what is asked really. And by then you will reach timeout. Some examples tap three times Mama says tap twice Lets wait for next instruction tap one more then one and one less then three times Another interesting thing is that it scolds you on a funny way when you scored less then the previous high score. Some Examples Don't worry, yo...

TLP for my fedora and it worked nice

As my Lenovo G50-70 ( core i7, 4GB, 17" LED) to soo power hungry that i can't even watch two episode of Game of Thrones. And hence, i was searching for power manager which could extend my battery life in exchange of the performance. I had experience with Jupiter previouly but later find out that it is not mantained nowadays. And hence find out about TLP . I followed this installation instruction for my Fedora 21 system. Result From initial observation i found out 30% backup time gain on my system. It never used to give even 2 hours of backup before but now it shows 3 hours and 15 minutes and ya gave me 3 hours of backup. Thanks tld.
