Android UMS got scrwd by usb_modeswitch in Ubuntu box

Boxes in my lab boot Ubuntu-based distros (mosty 12.04LTS). I hate the fact that it won't read my Android phone which I've set to mass storage mode (UMS).

The problem lies in the fact that my phone's ID (from lsusb) is:
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 05c6:f000 Qualcomm, Inc.
which unfortunately is the same ID with some random USB 3G modem. D'oh!

Rather than dealing with usb_modeswitch I'm unfamiliar of, I'd just remove the package. who needs 3G modem from boxes directly connected within internal AS circle anyway?  
# apt-get remove usb_modeswitch

Now the pain is gone.

Utakoi

So why love songs are popular? Because somehow they liberate you from the burden you're carrying when you're in love.

Chouyaku Hyakuninisshu: Uta Koi is simply epic. The story tells the roundabout of Hyakunin Isshu. It portrays Japanese-flavored love in subtle but meaningful ways.

The story took place when poetry at the time was a scholarly form of liberation from Japanese oppressing political (and cultural) structure. Nevertheless, love is universal (you don't say?) so it's nice to watch despite it's heavily flavored by (rather esoteric) ancient Japanese courtesy.

Anyway, enjoy!

Bicycle Helmet

I just lost my helmet about a month ago, and now I don't think I should buy another one soon. (But sometimes doing 60+ kph twisty downhill without helmet is kind of scary :hehe: )

It's a snippet by Yukio Yukimino. Don't you realize everyday life is sexy? :)
