nginx is good. And it seems to be faster than Apache! (and uses less memory, also much easier configuration)

Tonight, system.genshiken-itb.org got a system upgrade!
[10:42] ~# dmesg | head OpenBSD 4.3-current (GENERIC) #878: Tue May 27 09:18:05 MDT 2008 deraadt@i386.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC
I upgraded it. Remotely.
Nothing is more thrilling than reboot with new kernel while praying nothing bad happens O_O (which means, if IT happens, the server won’t be accessible until I got time to go to the location of the server…)
Now I can finally install PostgreSQL from packages – not compiling from source anymore π
Too bad there’s still no cksfv π
Here’s a cell phone themes for you: lulz1 (ha creative name π )
Designed specifically for Sony Ericsson W880 (yes, my phone). May or may not work for other SE phones version 4.5 with display resolution of 240×320 (which includes, but not limited to: K790, K800, K810, S500, T650, W580, W830, W850). And might work for other models with display resolution of 240×320.

Those are proven to be difficult combination πΏ
(Gparted is an open source partition editor)
Here’s the chronology:
Lessons learned.
I actually liked Windows’ boot manager: it’s simple that it’s stupid (LOL)
But that’s it: I’m not going to use other boot manager if there’s any Windows installation in same drive (assuming all OSes are in same drive).
For OpenBSD, it’s really easy: just read the installation faqs. π
For (x/k/ed)Ubuntu, there’s no instruction available but it’s not much different with OpenBSD’s:
dd --list
to see which is the Ubuntu root partition. Easy way: Harddisk#
is the same as system partition – usually C:
drive. Then for Partition#
, use this formula: /dev/[s/h]d[a-z]#
. So /dev/sda2 would have partition number 2 (Partition2
)dd if=?DeviceHarddisk#Partition# of=c:ubuntu.pbr bs=512 count=1
boot.ini
(System Properties β Advanced β Startup and Recovery Settings β Manually edit startup file). Add line like this: C:ubuntu.pbr="Ubuntu"
It uses 40MB of memory and eats all cpu resource when opening a folder with lots of application in it.
Will do a wait and see approach for a month before uninstalling it and replacing with something lighter like free antivirus from Avast! or Avira.
Following my last post, this is what my next OS will be.
SP3 final just released. As of the time I post this news there’s still no download page on ms site though. Loser.
/me goes downloading it and then will slipstream it to be installed on several pcs

Following my last attempt migrating to Vista, it proved neither successful nor failure. Too bad I won’t have any activable key until September. Sucks. Decided to try Windows Server 2003 SP2 before moving somewhere else. (guess where π )
Ha. So I installed Ubuntu 8.04 on my laptop.
Just realized: resized image is now resampled properly.
Good since it looks much better now
Bad because I can’t detect large images in a page (apart from slow loading time)
YMMV π
This is my fifth attempt migrating to Vista.
Pre-migration: Vista Beta 2 (or the first public preview, I don’t remember its exact number, so just call it “Beta 2” for now). As it’s a beta, I only install it just for the LULZ. Checking it out. Encountered some problems (the main problem is I can’t connect with my wireless connection without messing registry first). Find fix for the problems, solved some, back to XP
First: Vista RC1. Being an RC1, I expect it to be much more stable than Beta 2 – and yes it certainly is. Wireless conncetion problem still retains though. But I have easier time since I’ve already tried the beta. At the time, foobar2000 is still incompatible with Vista. And I only have x64 edition… compatibility in there isn’t funny. Back to XP before getting more headaches.
Second: Vista (released). Business edition (from Campus Agreement). Pretty good overall, except that I can’t activate with given key. Bummer. Used for several days and then back to XP.
Third: Got activation cr**k from intarwebs. Proven to be stupid. Back to XP… or not yet. Armed with /rearm (delaying activation deadline for 30 days), I installed it (without cr**k). Used for several weeks… till my internet connection becomes problematic. Got ISP’s technician to repair it, just to find they destroyed my Windows (HA). And it turns out that the problem is on SERVER SIDE. (HA). Back to XP to prevent FAIL and started using dualboot few weeks later (one for people in the house, the other one for myself).
Fourth: Got new key. Activated successfully. Runs fine… till I tried RF-Online and find that I can’t play properly with it disconnected for every other minute. Back to XP (LOL).
Fifth: Vista SP1!! LOLWUT. It actually works fine now and it’s good enough for me. The rest below.
Why Vista?
Some of you might wonder why I bothered trying Vista. Here’s the reasons:
What’s new in SP1?
SP1, the thing that enables me to use Vista (for one single reason, that is). Here’s the differences between pre-SP1 and SP1 (and the power of time)
The bad?
There are some problems with it though…
That’s it. LOL. Here’s the screenshot.
(It’s Vista. YARLY)
– I got bored and turned off Desktop Composition
It’s simple: I tried to run (play) Extreme-G 2 on my pc. It’s not that easy though. π
After much trouble:
So much trouble for an old game πΏ
!#*@%@*#^$*#&^@
I got (borrowed) a 500 GB hard disk drive that’s filled with random stuffs…
Now I HAVE to sort out my files and make space for them (like, creating space from about 4 GB of space and 600+ GB of files and only 750 GB total storage I currently own)
Ruriko = that drive
There’re many kinds of licenses o_O
Just received the news, mirrormoon and Soylations has released Utawarerumono english patch. What are you waiting for, go to their site, download the patch and start playing the game now! π
My firefox crashed twice today. That all was caused by this page‘s Java application (and I don’t know what it is for since I don’t see anything complex that needs Java).
Reasons I hate Java (in Firefox):
And I also just noticed that I can’t find option to use “No Style” on Internet Explorer (7) and Apple Safari (3 Beta). Weak.
Any sites that use WHITE text on BLACK background MUST be stabbed. πΏ
– X.org 7.3
…
That’s all (for me) o.o
Version 7 should be MUCH more interesting, at least with ZFS filesystem support…
Now I need to install NetBSD 4.0 somewhere… (err…?)
Apparently, there are some software where I know the name (and what it do) but didn’t expect it really exist.
Nero Lite is one of them. I stumbled on it when pointlessly googling “nero lite”, expecting there’s a software like that… Just to find that it actually exist o.o
Haven’t checked it yet though but looking from the site it seems to be made by folks from MSFN, which means it’s quite reliable…
Yay for Nero 8 without the BLOAT. (like, >200 MB for a freakin burning software – well not anymore actually, it’s trying to be a media center software with burning as one of its features but not providing burning-only edition of it. WTFgreedy)
