Canon Power Shot A460 on (K)ubuntu

After migrating to Kubuntu, one problem I faced was downloading the pictures to my PC from the camera (Canon Power Shot A460). Did some googling but could not find a simple understandable solution. Rather I found a lot of Canon camera users face this problem, When I plug the camera PC does not detect it.

I found a cool simple solution for this, digiKam/KDE3 !
All you need to do is just install it and go to the menu, Camera> Add Camera and press the button 'Auto Ditect' while your camera is plugged. It will ditect the camera and there is a lot of cool features that you'll try after that.

Lonely Hills - Buluthota

Decided to explore the lonely hills of Buluthota during the holidays of week 50. Sri Lanka is considered as a flat island with most of its surface is between 30 and 200 meters above sea level (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_of_Sri_Lanka), center is a highland surrounded by ridges and valleys.
Buluthota is a loneny small (compared to the center) situated in the south west of the center. One border of the Sinharaja rain forest is this mountain range. Even though this is a very nice part of the country due to lack of development of the infrastructure still this area is not famous among the tourists.
