Evernote has been well-known note software in multiple platform, except Linux. So, many Linux users has emulated its XP version over Wine.

Unfortunately, Wine does not support the latest Evernote 3.5 in Window version. Worse, Evernote 3.1 could not present any of my Korean or Japanese characters. Reflecting why I need Evernote installed on my Ubuntu machine, I have concluded that I really need to jot quick notes and share them over every machine. Those who have these reasons in mind would like what I have found today below.

In fact, Evernote homepage offers a web-based interface including a commercial AD and other unnecessary stuffs. But, if you access the mobile URL below, you can create and edit notes with super simplify:


If you are a big fan of terminal manipulation, you can type this command:

w3m http://www.evernote.com/mobile/Home.action

In both, Korean and Japanese are presented without any trouble.

My old and sluggish TravelMate 630 (632XCi) from Acer has its legacy VGA, GeForce2 Go NVIDIA. There has been a blog, or more like a fancy rumor, that a Linuxer has succeeded to use compiz in Ubuntu 7.4. Encouraged by the fancy story, I have tried it very hard to enable compiz in my old machine. However, it turned out that I spent my time for nothing.

In the latest Ubuntu 9.10 and its updates by today (26 Sep 2009), I could see some bright light. It is likely that compiz has been fixed to work fine with my TM630 at last! Still, the system is not stable and freezes as if XP does with blue screens.

I am now quite positive about how Ubuntu 9.10 would enhance my life with this old machine. I am looking forward to its stable version.

I am using a legacy Acer TravelMate 630 laptop. Yes, this is a so old model that any Linux distribution is no more willing to support its VGA driver.

- Go System > Administration > Hardware Drivers

Then you will see that Ubuntu 9.4 recommends you to enable the NVIDIA driver (version 96).

- Enable it and wait for the installation.

- IMPORTANT! Before you restart your machine, you need another change not to have black screen on your next booting. This additional option is suggested at here and saves my months of sleepless night.


- Finally, restart your Ubuntu machine.

What is still missing.

Since now, the 3D accelerator seems working fine. You can see the small animation when you click any icon in the menu bar. However, when you enable the Visual Effects at System > Preference > Appearance, you lose the borders of all window. Does anybody fix this error?
