Ayong's wedding

howdy gengs...last week must've been the busiest week of my life so far..it was the first time my family held a wedding reception for my beloved sister...the work was abundant and tiring nonetheless..but, the wedding went well though with minor flaws and sarcasm throughout...The nikah was held at home and the bersanding was held at Dewan Merdeka, Kg Melayu..



A lot of family and friends showed up for the celebrated days..sad to say that my friends seems to be the fewest but it dont matter..i've met an old friend who i haven't met in a loooong time and it was good and smashing...we talk,talk,talk and talk and it was hell lot of fun...Fathullah a.k.a maboqs was there (he helped me clean up the house on the nikah nite, my deepest gratitude went out to him) Firdaus a.k.a kecik was there on saturday...




and somehow, Sumardi manages to drive all the way from melaka (a true friend indeed) and none of my friends from seremban "manage" to make it...well, its ok i guess



at the end of the day, it was all fun and relieving when it is all over..my congratulations goes out to the newlyweeds and i pray for their life to be prosper and fill with joy and happiness (hope they are gonna go to "work" soon cause i cant wait to have "anak buah" :D)
i would also like to thank those who helped and to those who came to the wedding with a big heart..thank you so much, i enjoy it very much being around your company..



till then...au revoir (^_^)

connect the hard disk and check your usb device

fdisk -l

unmount the ntfs

sudo umount /dev/sda2

then mount the ntfs using the command

$ sudo mount /dev/sda2 /media/windows -t ntfs -o umask=777,uid=unos

it should able u to write the ntfs partition.hope it will work for you..post me on anything ya

indonesia has a very sweet pronounciation

i've started my MCAD classes today..fortunate enough for me, my tutor happens to be an indonesian lass by the name of Hariani Sabariana Sitohang..act, im very profound with the way indonesian speak english and their pronounciation, much..the "rrr" is quite obvious and i find it musical..hehehe...one thing i learn from her today is that indonesian pronounce @ as arkai..hehehe..and once she even said "where can i buy computer peripherals?"...
hehehe.. i found it very amusing..though we share the same roots with indonesia but the cultural difference is quite vast...
i'm looking foward to learn more about the indonesia culture and language, apart from the MCAD, perhaps....

google mp3 search

Google is a verry powerful search engine indeed..Well, i was darn bored this morning and had nothing to do..while going through tons of digg documents, i stumbled into an interesting tip on how to perform music search in Google..The original post of the article is here.



Paste the query below into your Google search =

-inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:"index of" +"last modified" +"parent directory" +description +size +(wma|mp3) "Nirvana"

Just substitute the "Nirvana" with any other artist that you would like to find..it will popup a list of index for the songs..plus you can also change the file type (wma|mp3) to any other file format such as pdf or doc ANYTHING...Well and if you are too lazy, you can go to G2P to find music that you want.. it works the same way
Happy Hunting (^_^)

Installing Netbeans IDE in Ubuntu

The NetBeans IDE is a free, open-source Integrated Development Environment for software developers. The IDE runs on many platforms including Windows, Linux, Solaris, and the MacOS. It is easy to install and use straight out of the box. If you happen to download the package that comes with all the jdk,netbeans and sun java system application server, well then you lucky rat...i had to install all manually..nonetheless, i'll still want to share my "endevour" in installing the netbeans, manually..

First, u have to have the Java Development Kit (jdk) in ur ubuntu box..At the time of writing it is the JDK6...you can download it for free here.

Open your terminal and go to the folder..

unos@xoxo:~/Desktop$ cd java/
unos@xoxo:~/Desktop/java$ chmod +x jdk-1_5_0_11-linux-i586.bin
unos@xoxo:~/Desktop/java$ ./jdk-1_5_0_11-linux-i586.bin

then, it will pop out a list of "terms and agreement" from the vendor..read it if u have the time
accept it and just follow the instruction..

next, install the netbeans IDE..u can download it, again for free, here...


unos@xoxo:~/Desktop/java$ chmod +x netbeans-5_5-linux.bin
unos@xoxo:~/Desktop/java$ ./netbeans-5_5-linux.bin

it will pop up install wizard and just follow the instruction..

next, u will have to install the sun java system application server..to do this you will have to dwonload the update file..you can find it here

install the update package...

unos@xoxo:~/Desktop/java$ chmod +x java_ee_sdk-5_02-linux-nojdk.bin
unos@xoxo:~/Desktop/java$ sudo ./java_ee_sdk-5_02-linux-nojdk.bin -javahome /usr/lib/j2re1.5-sun/

it will pop up the installation wizard and just follow the steps...

a more easier way for you to done this is by downloading the complete netbeans 5.5 that comes with the jdk and sun java system application server..this way everyone's happier (^_^)

ubuntu wifi-radar

Wifi seems to be the easiest way of connecting to the internet nowdays..My favorite tools in connecting to a wifi channel is the WiFi Radar...WiFi Radar is a Python/PyGTK2 utility for managing WiFi profiles.It enables you to scan for available networks and create profiles for your preferred networks.To intsall it in Ubuntu, open the terminal and type

sudo apt-get install wifi-radar

This will install wifi-radar in your computer...However, the wifi-radar may not be able to connect to a wifi..this is because, by default it can't configure which interface to use...So,what u have to do is configure the wifi-radar.conf file using editor..

What i did was run this on the terminal

sudo nano /etc/wifi-radar.conf

It will show up the configuration of wifi-radar basically like this....

[DEFAULT]
ifup_required = False
auto_profile_order = home,linksys,Guest$speak_up = False
scan_timeout = 5
interface =
commit_required = False

So add your interface at the interface options...

[DEFAULT]
ifup_required = False
auto_profile_order = home,linksys,Guest$speak_up = False
scan_timeout = 5
interface = eth1
commit_required = False

and now you are clear to go...
enjoy it but remember, connecting to an open wifi without permission is a crime (^_^)

dissertation

Currently i'm in my final year of my studies which requires me to do a dissertation to complete it...after a very vast array of topics "studied" and rejected by my beloved lecturers and friends alike, i've finally decided to do my research on Web 2.0...my dissertation title (as for now) is "Building a web community for U-fm using the Web 2.0 principles"...Sounds lame huh...maybe...but i intend to build the web with web 2.0 and my research elements will be mainly on the principles of it...
i'll be explaining a little bit of web 2.0,here and there,from a layman's view and a little bit of the technical aspects of it....
sooo... i would very much like to share my experience and journey of building the web on this blog...and hey, if you have any ideas or remarks or anything,do feel free to leave your comments ya..i'll be looking foward for it....
till then, au revoir (^_^)

ubuntu

a friend of mine introduced to me an open source operating system couple of months back...being a typical "malaysian", i was a bit reluctant and repulsive towards it..it took some convincing and a whole lot of assurance before i finally did make the quantum leap in migrating to ubuntu.
heyyy...what do you know...it wasnt bad at all...i would say that it is more fun and satisfying (by a tenth fold) by using ubuntu...it gives you the the ultimate satisfaction and the edge for you to really learn about your computers rather than just chewing whatever that is provided to ( + the satisfaction of not being cheated by Microsoft ;p )
ubuntu( an african words which means "humanity to others" ) is built with both professional and community support is based upon the ubuntu philosophy : that software should be available free of charge, that software tools should be usable by people in their local language and despite any disabilities, and that people should have the freedom to customise and alter their software in whatever way they see fit.
interesting isnt' it...even the philosophy, foundation and the ideas is sooo honorable...
you can get ubuntu from various sources on the net for free and, you're not gonna believe this, they will even send the ubuntu cd's for free right at your doorstep...amazing says you..well maybe there are certain people who really would like the world to be a better place...
sooo what say you....maybe it's time to change
lol (^_^)

XOOPS

XOOPS, acronym for eXtensible Object Oriented Portal System, is a CMS that runs on Apache, mySQL and PHP (+ your OS,of course..daa..)

etc.
Try it..i found it to be most useful, easy and interesting...Plus, it is free..so no harm's done... Till then...
