Test..

This is just a test, recently I had Blogger pages unrendered it just like chunk of bytes. At first, it was randomed but today it happens all the time. If this is not getting better, I will move my blog elsewhere. This is really annoying! ;( Btw, I too found it in another (blogspot's) blogs.

That's Why It's Called GNU/Linux

Many people always mentioning their distribution as Linux, such as: "I'm using Linux" "My Linux is Redhat/ubuntu ..." But, it is a wrong way to address that great operating system as Linux alone. Linux is a kernel. Well, let's put it in a simple description. It is a library that provide mechanisms to arrange system resource and do something with your machine. It provide service such as running applications concurently, accessing memory, accessing devices like printer etc. But, in order to run the library, you must provide a framework that accessing that library. Luckily for FOSS, Stallman and the crew have released series of tools that running on top of Linux kernel. Those tools (GNU Libc, GNU BASH, GNU C Compiler, etc) is provided as a whole-set-solution framework called GNU (GNU Not Unix). So, if you would mention that system, which runs GNU framework in a top of Linux kernel, you should mention it as GNU/Linux.

JP's Word of Wisdom: Thankful.

Kunderemp said: What if the incident happened when the admins (all of them) needed to go to toiletWhat if the incident happened when the admins (all of them) needed to go to toilet? Of course then all of people will suffer from the lost of connection. But, when it happens, many systems may fails. Have you ever thought that the admin of that system left the system's problem unresolved? The admin knows about all systems, for the admin self that have the system built. Each system have MRTG so that each monitored. But, sometimes, when you must restore a system, you must restore your surrounding so the system can runs well again. When the service of the server which you lived on fails, don't blame the admin. For the admin knows it and may on the way to make the system flawless. May you think your system is broken, the admin knows it. But you may consider the system in the functionality in different view of the admin. You may consider your LDAP server is insufficient like other's...

JP's Word of Wisdom

Life is like taking a walk in server room. You may step on a cable and make the RJ45 loosen making a server unable to connect into a network which cause other people to suffer. Don't worry, even if you felt like there is no one around, admins will always be there watching over you. You are not alone.

Connecting Both World

I dunno of the way people thinking in this particular country (Indonesia). I'm always listening to everyone's bragging about their IT and how it is creating a real opportunity and how it seems making the company cost-effective. Also, they bragging about the way they could go into the realm of modernity. But, is it true? Hardly. As far as I can get, there is NO qualified running system that I have seen is worth to be entitled. I may seems like an oldman that creating a fud to you, but believe me, this is true. For instance, how many of you folks that runs a company must upgrade your applications each year? And worst, how many of you that never really use the facility? You know something. What I see in most of IT projects is: (sometimes it make me shame to be part of IT folks) The project failed. The project ended up with overtime and over bugdet and over estimated and over anything but success. The project finished in time but it only effective in short time and then abandoned, ...

God it's hurt

God, it's hurt to know that I would be missing. Why ... when around not much I care? And now ... gone and I just realize that I've made a mistake. God, why I was such a fool? Wasting time and not being with ... and embrace .... Instead, I made ... fallen apart. God, I've lied. Why it's hurts when I pretend it doesn't matter? Why I can't let go the past that I don't like? There are rainbows in the sky, but why does my heart still hear the sound of thunder? Today is a new day But, why does my past drag me away? I can run a new day I can create new way I can now search for something new But, will You lead me this time? I can be happy now and not remembering them all. But, why can I still name them by one? God, it's hurt.

Admin Wars

Dari seorang Admin stress dengan kerjaan smartcardnya. Network Admin (NA) VS System Admin (SA) NA: I ban you from internet! # iptables ... -d x.x.x.x REJECT SA: Oh, yeah? I ban you from LDAP # ldapdelete -X ... uid=... ------ NA: I ban your network! # shut fa1/12 SA: I ban you from login! # /etc/init.d/sldapd stop ------ NA: Flood your network # ping x.x.x.x -p SA: Oh yeah! flood your mail! # while true do mail -x XX -s revenge ... ----- ULTIMATE: NA: kill all access to network! Die you SA! HUAHAHAHHA... >> (manually kill all the routers) SA: kill all systems! Die you HOMOK! HUEHEHEHEHE... >> (manually kill all the servers) ---- Whoever is the winner, the result truly devastating. The most pathetic thing is, someone in front office such as Feha would be one of the people getting busy answering the phone. CAUTION: This is only imaginary, nama dan tempat hanya dalam khayalan. Kalaupun terdapat kesamaan, misalnya NA-nya yang homok, itu cuma kebetulan belaka.

How to play WoW on GNU/Linux

Using Debian SID: # apt-get install wine # wine /path/to/WoW.exe Enjoy! And to those people whom lack of faith take a look at this: W*****s can't do this, isn't it? It's Beryl , baby! Now, I if I recall, some of you promised to me if GNU/Linux can run Warcraft, you would repent into Linux. Well, I want your talk proven!

You People Oughta Know!

The Jakarta Post, quoted from news.com ( MetroTV ) , had an headline written: "Jakarta Paralyzed , Again ". Yeah, if you noticed, I mark the comma and the word "Again". It is like what I said, I don't like to show my sympathy to people who get the flood into their house. I even don't care about the dumb ass people who asked for donation to feed the hunger of the people that caught on the flood. Fyi , my house also flooded and since Friday, we haven't check it out again. But, that's the consequence of the bad design of our beloved city, especially our neighbourhood. When we first bought the house (when I was a little), the was a stream not far from my house. It was one of the river that connected to the Ciliwung river. But, it was stopped and people built houses on there. When we built the house, we have reserved a meter or two behind our house to let people built sewer and let the water flows. But, they built their houses close and attached to our...
