Since I do not need this software, I’m going to give it away to anyone that wants or need it. I’m that nice since I don’t see why I should be wasting this piece of good software around.
This is not a paid post. I got this piece of software from BAK2u through a contest. And, I only got ONE to give away for now. I do have a spare license for the Windows version, which I might give away along with this if the response is decent.
You will most likely need this if you are afraid of losing your mobile, bring your laptop around often or you travel often and there’s likely risk of losing your gadgets.
What can the software do:
- Protect your confidential information due to theft or loss.
- Backup your info, on-the-air! (Address book, tasks, notes, calendar)
- Importantly, track your hardware. You can get to know where your kids are if you install this on their mobile. There are many people who got back their gadgets after losing them.
Versions available:
- Windows Mobile
- Symbian
- Blackberry
- Macintosh
- Windows
NOTE: You can only choose one from the above available versions above.
How to participate?
I’m only asking that you drop me an email or get me via the contact form. I will contact you if you’ve won. There’s no hidden charges. Totally free. Good luck.
P.S. Inspired by DK.
Now that I’ve received my Ubuntu CD, it’s time I start burning CDs and send to anyone (probably around Malaysia and Singapore) that requests. This is my way of returning to the community. 
How it goes
Drop me an email at 
with your name, mailing address and email address. You can choose between the desktop or server edition; I’ll burn you a copy of the latest (for now, Ubuntu 8.10).
- I will send you one (1) cd only. Let me know if you’ve got a special request.
- As far as possible, I try to send it within a week (I will be away from 2nd December to 9th December 08).
- And if you’re not from Singapore/Malaysia, try not to request as I don’t want to incur too much shipping fees. However, if you really think you need one, it’s still fine to drop me an email and I will see what I can do for you.
- I know Fedora 10 was just released too. Personally I’m no fan of Fedora, but I will still burn you a copy if you request.
- It’s free. Yes. To fund me, donations go to
(Paypal) or 
(Moneybookers). YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DONATE TO GET A CD.
Now, if you want a CD, email me. I’m friendly and I don’t bite!
Ubuntu has always been the linux-based OS I have on my laptop for fun and daily use when I don’t require Visual Studio.
Free Ubuntu CDs!
Two years ago, ShipIt would send you more than once piece, as long as you justify your need. Thus I used to order them and share the CDs around in school. However, it’s harder right now to request more. Maybe they feel people are ordering more and wasting them.
I received mine!
Totally forgotten about the order, I got home and saw a mail for me from Ubuntu! Man, really I must say thanks to them.
My thoughts
Each CD should cost them less than 0.2 Euros (Or maybe even a lower cost price) since they order in bulk to give them for free. What I found wasn’t fair was the shipping fees.
Actually it’s none of my business to rant about this but I’m considering to do something for them – to send Ubuntu around too! (Let me confirm this in another blog entry!)
Once again, Thanks Ubuntu!
