Shortest path to reclaim almost full hardisk space

namran — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 11:57:24 +0000

Well, i thought there is a mistake such as this one..

cd /
rm -rf *

But the above would left you with nothing to begin with..

Today managed to find another shortest path of it..
by…

1. Download Ubuntu 9.10 iso image from http://www.ubuntu.com/
is not big.. is just 690Mb.

2. Get a blank CD ,and burn that iso into it.

3. Reboot the machine.
while booting up.. hold F12.
[it will prompt for one time boot menu..]

4. Then.. just press next all the way..
at the 3rd step..might need to enter your enter.
press next… next..

5. and it will ask for a reboot.
and remove the CD.

6. that’s it..
the new and shiny Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Kaola…

the default option for partitioning is :

“Erase all filesystem on hardisk /dev/sda”

is not the

“Use available free/unallocated space”
like the other distros…

all above step can be completed within less that 15minute.

the result :

hahahaa..!!

now .. i am going to re-look for my “/home” directory
which is previously mounted at /dev/sda5
while the “/” is at /dev/sda1

.. so if “rm -rf /”
my “/home” would still intact.. if not mounted.

but this Ubuntu so efficient… it wipe all..

p/s : my bad for not lookin at it properly ..
pressing “Next”a bit too fast.. perhaps..

la….la.. la.. what was been missing ah..?

Final Malaysia Cup 2009 – kelantan vs negeri sembilan [result 1 -3]

namran — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 18:41:12 +0000

The event took place at Bukit Jalil Stadium..

Due to some reason, i have opted to go there via LRT instead of the car,
I think major road are also closed or just stuck.. hahaa.
Before leaving home.. opened up MythWeb and set my TV recorder to record this live event tonight while “I am away..”

So that I wouldn’t missed it if anything is amiss .. ( later realized luckily I did this.. before leaving .. hahaa)

Ok..started the journey around 4pm something..
went thru Sprint Highway…

if you realized..all the car here are “braking” or slowing down..
(the speed limit at this three lanes road is 80km/h ~ *got ticket while speeding here at 95km/h ..!!*)
Hmm.. weather was a bit bad.. from the sky can tell “it is about to rain heavily ..”

Arrived and parked at “Salak Selatan” LRT station :

The LRT round-trip ticket come in “pink” color .. ( hahahaha )

we thought we’re early.. but..

Some screenshot during arrival at Bukit Jalil Stadium:

The “Dikir Barat” team.. performing.. in a tent..!!

Oh..almost forgot..
the ticket..:)

Hang around the stadium.. visiting stall and “some shopping” bla..bla…
Getting inside stadium..after 7.30 pm.. [ a bit too late for getting in.. hahaha ]

we sit by the staircase because unable to contact our “teammates” due to communication “break down”.. hahaha.
( after leaving stadium only managed to meet all of them again *sigh* but this time
a bit better bcoz can actually “calling..calling” after moving out of stadium a bit)…

[ this image had been purposely applied with "Gaussian Blur" ~ ~ ]

“Illegal” firework started before the match even start!!

Ok..this is the “Panorama” image from my seating … ( pardon me for the “sluggish quality” as it had been captured using a k530i )

Ok.. these are the screenshot from the MythTV at home about this “Final Malaysia Cup 2009 at TV1″

the player list for kelantan :

kelantan’s formation :

negeri sembilan’s player list :

negeri sembilan’s formation :

This is the moment when I get up and move out from the stadium… :
( as had promised after the 2nd half started (2-0).. .. “if got another one goal from NS.. we are gonna get home immediately .. no need to wait..” )

“mercun” is all over the sky ..
[ feel like celebrating "Hari Raya "a bit too early .. hahaha]

Guess what ? ..
[ notice the empty seating at the kelantan supporter side... which was over-crowded earlier..
all gone after the "3-0" ... around 15minute after 2nd half had just started.. hahahaha]
“we’re not alone.. see.. others also leaving together with us NOW… hehehe”

While in the LRT on the way to back to home..

got sms.. “GoAaaaLLL”.. “the one and the only for kelantan.. in tonight match..!!”

hahahaha…

p/s : I guess its just a too “weak” performance to be proud of..
“kalau main cantik pastu kalah ..takper.. puas hati tengok.. tapi ini tak… ” continue with your own imagination .. hehehe

Documentary on TV1 – where did all ‘local’ research report goes ?

namran — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 07:26:36 +0000

I watched at documentary on TV1 while having lunch at a stall this afternoon.
I think is around 12.30 pm today.. (a replay perhaps.)

The documentary is about the SUN , its magnetic field affect on Earth,the sun spot,
the flare.. and everything from the SUN compared to the moon..
And how did they prove the magnetic related to the sun spot.

Plus an experiment to calculate the speed of the magnetic flare to travel and reach Earth
within 12hour .. why seeing from side and not from the front could easily estimated the speed.
( He is spraying water to the glass.. and seeing it from the side.. )

The way they narrated the story to make it interesting and inter-related between one sentence to
next sentence is just amazing..
for a good 5minute, I was staring at the TV screen.. until it finish the presentation:).

Then come the interesting part, the interview with the scientist himself, regarding his theory
and also the un-proven hypothesis and all.. and “western scientist” ,
one was based at NASA labs, and also one from another private research center.

then it got my mind, where did all our local scientist journal had gone to ?
The media love to share “Talk with celebrities”.. bla..bla.. sort of entertainment.
Is there no local scientist is doing work and to be highlighted ?
Non-commercial film ? as such this one “National Geographic”..

Then someone replied with these ..
“Oh.. our researcher way too busy with politician , predicting where its suppose to go to..in politic arenas..”
hehehe..quite true..
the best brain.. the most popular blog in malaysia..
either talk about politic or just merely about artist..and also about “How to become Internet Millionaire”

Helloo… there are scientist the past that would sacrifices and dedicated their life to research effort.
Take whatever field you want.. Benjamin Franklin, Wright Brothers, Alexander Graham Bell..
which is without their piece to ‘think’ and ‘discover’ thing.. our world would never become like today.

.. and yet we’re just stuck with never-ending politic plot ? for centuries ? hahaha..
now I feel like to laugh at myself..
where did all the elders and gone to spending their precious life last few decades ?
Take a look at Korea.. how long it take to be a master in plastic cosmetic surgery advance tech..?
or Japan.. how long did they recover from the WWII lost bit atomic bomb at “Hiroshima” and “Nagasaki” ?

Or even closer.. take a look at Singapore .. lah.
not the same day we got to “Independence” until the split from “September 1963“?
Let me ask again..
“what and why did our best brainer did NOT really take advantage after that time ?”
which I doubt the answer as the “Singapore best’s brainer is just way too good”.

the more reasonable would be .. we’re just too busy into something not worth pursuing..
neither for personal pride nor for the nation ..let alone the religious glory..

Hmm.. back to research..
we could possible setup private research fund and do it our way..
don’t really have to wait for the government to fund and all.. which available under the MATRADE and many other Research depth..
the point is.. it is not CAN or NOT.. but just the matter of “Want to do it”.. or otherwise …

p/s: One Leader good qualities are having very determined “will-power”…
and the “never give up … no matter hopeless”’s spirit..

[ your precious thought and comment are most welcome .. Thanks in advance ]

Nobody by Wonder Girls lyrics in English

Nobody by Wonder Girls

You Know I still Love You Baby.
And it will never change. (Saranghae)
 
I want nobody nobody But You, I want nobody nobody But You
How can I be with another, I don't want any other
I want nobody nobody nobody nobody
 
Why are you trying to, to make me leave ya
I know what you're thinking
Baby why aren't you listening
How can I just
Just love someone else and
Forget you completely
When I know you still love me
 
Telling me you're not good enough
My life with you is just too tough
You know it's not right so
Just stop and come back boy
How can this be
When we were meant to be
 
I want nobody nobody But You, I want nobody nobody But You
How can I be with another, I don't want any other
I want nobody nobody nobody nobody
 
I want nobody nobody But You, I want nobody nobody But You
How can I be with another, I don't want any other
I want nobody nobody nobody nobody
 
Why can't we just, just be like this
Cause it's you that I need and nothing else until the end
Who else can ever make me feel the way I
I feel when I'm with you, no one will ever do
 
Telling me you're not good enough
My life with you is just too tough
You know me enough so
You know what I need boy
Right next to you is where I need to be.
 
I want nobody nobody But You, I want nobody nobody But You
How can I be with another, I don't want any other
I want nobody nobody nobody nobody
 
I want nobody nobody But You, I want nobody nobody But You
How can I be with another, I don't want any other
I want nobody nobody nobody nobody
 
I don't want no body, body
I don't want no body, body
 
Honey you know it's you that I want, it's you that I need
Why can't you see~
 
I want nobody nobody But You, I want nobody nobody But You
How can I be with another, I don't want any other
I want nobody nobody nobody nobody (2x)
 
Back to the days when we were so young and wild and free
Nothing else matters other than you and me
So tell me why can't it be
Please let me live my life my way
Why do you push me away
I don't want nobody nobody nobody nobody but you

First time heard this song was at a dinner in this event.
A bit speechless at the moment and drooling until someone at my right had to pinch me quite few times.. hahahhaa

well.. this the videos from the youtube :

Enjoy!

How to crimp a network cable

namran — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:15:04 +0000

How to crimp a network cable

Tools needed to ‘crimp’ network cable :

1. UTP cable ( CAT 5e .. CAT 6.. )
2. RJ45 Crimper ( Can get from lowyat.net at price RM 15 or so )
3. RJ45 plug

Optional :
4. RJ45 plug cover
5. RJ45 cable tester.
6. wire stripper
7. wire cutter ( sometime comes with crimper already ..)

Procedures :
1. measure the UTP cable and cut with the desired lenght ..
2. Strip of all insulation from UTP cable ( plastic core, white clothing.. ) at length about half inch.
3. Untangle all the wire inside there. straighten it ..
4. Put it RJ45 plug cover .
5. re-arrange and flattened the wire to have something like this.

- from my left hand side..

for straight cable :

1. white orange

2. Orange

3. white green

4. blue

5. white blue

6. green

7. white brown

8. brown

for cross-over cable :

1. white green
2. green
3. white orange
4. blue
5. white blue
6. orange
7. white brown
8. brown

6. after satisfied with that, cut the wire without disrupting its arrangement. ( make sure is straight cut. )
7. push the wire into the RJ45 plug and put it into RJ45 crimper.
make sure the wire reach the end of the RJ45 plug .. at which the golden pin with then hold the wire.

8. Press the crimper handle until can hear ‘klak’.. pin should be connected to the wire by then.

9. repeat step 1 – 8 for the other end of the UTP cable.

10. Test with cable tester.
LED shall flash in a sequences… 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 .
no jump .. no missing LED flash..then its shall be fine.

repeat 1 -10 until all the network cable is ready..!!

Ok.. that ’s all..

p/s : sometime i couldn’t recall some memory.. even though had been doing this procedure repeated for 108 times past few year..
I hope this post shall become my reminder for me .. next time..

Konsep Asas Dalam bidang saham – Bijak Wang 30 Oct 2009

HawkEYE — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 14:34:57 +0000

Ok . Bijak Wang on Friday,30 October 2009, discussed about “the basic to become a share holder”..
and also touch a bit bout how to evaluate a company.. plus ‘ syariah compliance ‘ consideration..

There is something at the starting of the show that attract my attention.
One program at the “Money Tree” to expose the real-life example as a game to learn financial
for the kid age as young as 9 years old.

Admittedly , the education have not prepared us with sufficient knowledge about financial planning in life.
This program however create the most needed awareness of financial problem that would happened in real-life.
Hmm.. one quote was .. no one teaching about this financial.. not at school.. not at home ( parent neither ).

so.. this program is truly a good start lah..
( may be can try join those class one day.. )

Anyway.. there will a dedicated website for bijak wang and all the slide to be announced by next week.
Until then.. feel free to browse the screenshot below ( all copyright belong to tv3 ):
