1. Make each program do one thing well. To do a new job, build afresh rather than complicate old programs by adding new features.

2. Expect the output of every program to become the input to another, as yet unknown, program. Don’t clutter output with extraneous information. Avoid stringently columnar or binary input formats. Don’t insist on interactive input.

3. Design and build software, even operating systems, to be tried early, ideally within weeks. Don’t hesitate to throw away the clumsy parts and rebuild them.

4. Use tools in preference to unskilled help to lighten a programming task, even if you have to detour to build the tools and expect to throw some of them out after you’ve finished using them.

MALAYSIAN POETRY BY A MALAYSIAN

This is a story about Malaysian society
Where different races supposedly live in harmony
In 2003, came along a Prime Minister by the name of Abdullah Badawi
Who led his party to a resounding election victory.

This is a PM whose promises are many
All his slogans are equally catchy
As a result, many people are taken in completely
By his humble and Mr. Clean personality.

First among his chief promises is to combat corruption immediately
That has everyone applauding loudly
But until today, all the major cases are still one big mystery
Lack of evidence or is he fooling us secretly?

Not long after, he introduced Islam Hadhari
Some complained there is only one version of Islam from the Almighty
Anyway, what is it all about, no one knows exactly
Except for some broad points outlined in theory.

Then, he said we need to cut our budget deficit quickly
Which started the dismantling of Tun M's legacy
This caused us to hear about the crooked bridge flip flop story
With all the accusations, what is fiction and what is reality?

By his own admission, his son is extremely wealthy
Because he controls a listed company by the name of Scomi
Was once implicated in the shipment of banned components to a Middle Eastern country
But his son claimed ignorance and that's the end of the story.

He also has a son-in-law by the name of Khairy
Not elected but is UMNO Youth's deputy
Got entangled in the merged Avenue-ECM Libra entity
Which happened right under the nose of the PM-led Finance Ministry.

Then, we came across a foreign newspaper reporting factually
Of his adventure to see a yacht at a faraway place somewhere in Turkey
This is not true, he said insistently
But I don't see the newspaper issuing any apology.

Next, came the jet on the itinerary
Bought or leased, he is lucky that Malaysians are not financially savvy
The jet is also for the Agong's use, he said publicly
I wonder whether the Agong requested for one specifically?

Later, we read of his holidays in an Australian city
Staying in a mansion owned by someone named as Patrick Badawi
We shouldn't be so critical if he was only away temporarily
Except for the fact that there was a major flood in our own territory.

Then, we get the case of Proton disposing off a subsidiary
Not for a large amount but for a mere penny
Many think behind the deal something's very fishy
Tun M's pet project is certainly going awry.

Overall, crime rates are going up rapidly
Confidence in our police is at its lowest historically
But the IGP got his tenure extended easily
He must be thinking everything's hunky-dory.

He has also been busy launching economic regions lately
Trying to attract foreign investments into the country
Sadly, some are saying that the northern development is benefiting a crony
While others argue the southern one will end up as LKY's colony.

You see, I can go on and on about this indefinitely
Because it is easy and I do not need to create any of them individually
They are all plucked from the web where the stories about him is aplenty
From promoting judges unfairly to always being sleepy.

Actually, I am just an ordinary Malaysian who cares about her country
And I have to state that I am not against him or his policy
For I do not care who is the Perdana Menteri
As long as the person is capable and trustworthy.

YESTERDAY

Yesterday,
All those backups seemed a waste of pay.
Now my database has gone away.
Oh I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly,
There's not half the files there used to be,
And there's a milestone
hanging over me
The system crashed so suddenly.

I pushed something wrong
What it was I could not say.

Now all my data's gone
and I long for yesterday-ay-ay-ay.

Yesterday,
The need for back-ups seemed so far away.
I knew my data was all here to stay,
Now I believe in yesterday.

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. ®

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 .. :-)

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.

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 !

my first task in Maxis today - insert brand new SCSI harddisk into EVA storage rack.

huhu..never done the task , because i'm merely for UNIX OS .,but not for SAN storage.

Good start for me , as well., though it is simple task for me .

alot of hands-on after 1-2 months . furthermore., i just got my ID login in Maxis.

later on ..need to go for certification HP-UX.

Today i went to Maxis Datacenter at Kepong .

I never been to datacenter, since i left ESS ( my first company ).

In Kepong , I saw all hi-range server , such as Sun Fire T2000, HP Integrity Superdome, IBM e-Server and many more.

Today i accept the offer for UNIX engineer at Maxis .Worked as HP staff at there.

It is a hard decision for me , to go to Maxis because i wanted to be a Shell permanent.But i found that it's too difficult to go for permanent . Need 2 years being FTC before converted to permanent

I have to moved to Maxis , because i need to upgrade my skillz in storage and handle alots of UNIX hardware such as Sun Fire T2000 and HP Integrate Superdome. Some more ..i will handle storage appliance like HP StorageWorks and EMC² . End-to-end support.

I agreed that my salary is not very high ..but experience is a must. Previously., i never done such task like deploy, install or troubleshoot in any hardware in my company . And now .. i will do that and experiencing it myself.

insya Allah, i will serve my company with all of my experience i got and being more responsible .

revo · at 1:48 AM
