Google has done a deal to offer students in Kenya and Rwanda access to Google Apps - its online selection of products including Gmail.

Lecturers and students at Rwanda's National University, the Kigali Institute for Education, and Kigali Institute for Science and Technology will all get access to Google's online applications - Google Docs, calendar and spreadsheets. In Kenya some 50,000 students and staff at the University of Nairobi get a Gmail account.

Google is trying to sell its online apps package to small businesses for an annual per seat charge of $50. The company offers an education version of the package free to schools and colleges.

Google Apps does not support local languages like Swahili or Kinyarwanda.

The deals are Google's first in sub-Saharan Africa although the company promised more to come in its blog entry. ®

Top 15 Terminal Commands for Hidden Mac OS X Settings

Today i found this secret hidden tip from someone blog (later i will give credit to him ..heeheeh)

1. defaults write com.apple.Dock showhidden -bool YES

Makes hidden applications' dock icons translucent. NO to reverse.

2. defaults write com.apple.iTunes invertStoreLinks -bool YES

Normally the arrows next to artists and albums in your iTunes library search the iTunes store when you click them. This command changes them so that clicking will search your iTunes library instead. Put NO at the end to reverse.

3. defaults write com.apple.dashboard devmode YES

This allows you to drag widgets out of Dashboard onto the desktop. Requires the dock to be relaunched to take effect, so type "killall Dock" and press enter. Now, if you click and hold onto a widget in the dashboard and press F12 to return to the desktop, the widget won't disappear with the rest. Put NO at the end to reverse.

4. defaults write com.apple.mail PreferPlainText -bool TRUE

Forces all mail to be displayed as plain text. Replace TRUE with FALSE to reverse.

5. defaults write -g NSNavPanelExpandedStateForSaveMode -bool TRUE

Sets expanded save dialogs as default (showing column/list view of folders rather than a drop down menu). Replace TRUE with FALSE to reverse.

6. /System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Resources/ ScreenSaverEngine.app/Contents/MacOS/ScreenSaverEngine -background

Displays the currently chosen screen saver to be shown as the desktop background. Press Control-C or Command-. to stop. More details here.

7. defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow AdminHostInfo SystemVersion

Displays useful system stats in the login window. More details here. Replace "SystemVersion" with one of the following for different stats:

SystemBuild

SerialNumber

IPAddress

DSStatus

Time

HostName

8. sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow HiddenUsersList -array-add shortname1 shortname2 shortname3

To remove accounts from the login window type this command with the short name of each account you wish to remove. More details here.

9. com.apple.frameworks.diskimages skip-verify TRUE

Skip disk image verification. Potentially risky, use with disk images from trusted sources. Replace TRUE with FALSE to reverse.

10. defaults write "Apple Global Domain" AppleScrollBarVariant DoubleBothPuts
double scroll arrows at both ends of scroll bar. Use Appearance pane in system preferences to reset.

11. defaults write com.apple.CrashReporter DialogType none

Disables the unexpectedly quit dialog that normally appears when an application crashes. Replace "none" with "prompt" to enable again.

12. defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitHistoryItemLimit 2000 and/or

defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitHistoryAgeInDaysLimit 30

Sets the history limit in Safari to a certain number of items and and/or a certain age.

13. defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE

Shows hidden files in the finder. Replace TRUE with FALSE to hide hidden files again

14. defaults write com.apple.safari IncludeDebugMenu 1

Enables the debug menu in Safari. Type again but with 0 instead of 1 at the end to disable.

15. defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES

Deactivates Dashboard. Requires the dock to be relaunched to take effect, so type "killall Dock" and press enter. Replace YES with NO to enable again.

Need to try all these tips .. :-)

Finally, i'm able to access data via web ssh

huhu...this time ...i'm able to access my file via web ssh ...i'm working for thing application since last Saturday ..some more my lovely girl scolded me because of this work ..

Using Java based web ssh ...Actually this application will be using port 23 as default ...but in order to secure my data and access , i'm decided to use SSH for this connection.

Right now i'm success ...Alhamdulillah ..

p/s thanks to Aman for altering the port. hehe ..you are the man , man

Aman = System owner for machine i put the java apps

HP-UX 11i version 3 in da house - with virtualization

Actually i'm already knew the advent of this OE .hehe

but need more time to understand virtualization on HP-UX ..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtualization
http://www.kernelthread.com/publications/virtualization/

Why Virtualization: A List of Reasons

Following are some (possibly overlapping) representative reasons for and benefits of virtualization

Virtual machines can be used to
consolidate the workloads of several under-utilized servers to fewer
machines, perhaps a single machine (server consolidation). Related
benefits (perceived or real, but often cited by vendors) are savings
on hardware, environmental costs, management, and administration of
the server infrastructure.

The need to run legacy
applications is served well by virtual machines. A legacy
application might simply not run on newer hardware and/or operating
systems. Even if it does, if may under-utilize the server, so as
above, it makes sense to consolidate several applications. This may
be difficult without virtualization as such applications are usually
not written to co-exist within a single execution environment
(consider applications with hard-coded System V IPC keys, as a
trivial example).

Virtual machines can be used to
provide secure, isolated sandboxes for running untrusted
applications. You could even create such an execution environment
dynamically - on the fly - as you download something from the
Internet and run it. You can think of creative schemes, such as
those involving address obfuscation. Virtualization is an important
concept in building secure computing platforms.

Virtual machines can be used to
create operating systems, or execution environments with resource
limits, and given the right schedulers, resource guarantees.
Partitioning usually goes hand-in-hand with quality of service in
the creation of QoS-enabled operating systems.

Virtual machines can provide the
illusion of hardware, or hardware configuration that you do not have
(such as SCSI devices, multiple processors, ...) Virtualization can
also be used to simulate networks of independent computers.

Virtual machines can be used to
run multiple operating systems simultaneously: different versions,
or even entirely different systems, which can be on hot standby.
Some such systems may be hard or impossible to run on newer real
hardware.

Virtual machines allow for
powerful debugging and performance monitoring. You can put such
tools in the virtual machine monitor, for example. Operating systems
can be debugged without losing productivity, or setting up more
complicated debugging scenarios.

Virtual machines can isolate what
they run, so they provide fault and error containment. You can
inject faults proactively into software to study its subsequent
behavior.

Virtual machines make software
easier to migrate, thus aiding application and system mobility.

You can treat application suites
as appliances by "packaging" and running each in a virtual
machine.

Virtual machines are great tools
for research and academic experiments. Since they provide isolation,
they are safer to work with. They encapsulate the entire state of a
running system: you can save the state, examine it, modify it,
reload it, and so on. The state also provides an abstraction of the
workload being run.

Virtualization can enable existing
operating systems to run on shared memory multiprocessors.

Virtual machines can be used to
create arbitrary test scenarios, and can lead to some very
imaginative, effective quality assurance.

Virtualization can be used to
retrofit new features in existing operating systems without "too
much" work.

Virtualization can make tasks such
as system migration, backup, and recovery easier and more
manageable.

Virtualization can be an effective
means of providing binary compatibility.

Virtualization on commodity
hardware has been popular in co-located hosting. Many of the above
benefits make such hosting secure, cost-effective, and appealing in
general.

Virtualization is fun.

like ihsan said = wasting my talent !

there's many reason why i left SHELL ....i felt disgusting with myself, though ppl said helpdesk is a path to be brush-up my communication skills ...but it never lives in my own life

1. i want to be engineer not handling user and entertain user ..fark

2. i dont want to waste my time , wasting my energy , and also ...i dont wanna waste my talent ...period

I ask myself frequently regarding this job ...

Is this what i want ?
Is this what i chase in my career path?
Is this what i need to explore ?

I'm happy with Maxis ..though the job is so tough , i dont care ..as long as it not involving dumb user ..fark

I prefer stayback in datacenter ..rather than serving dumb farking user ..period !

change without chaos, growth without limits
