MoriKun mini random blog :) This website is dedicated to the memory of my cat. Rip.

MoriKun>   Moved my website server again. After worked 36 hours straight, I deserve doing something fun. 2012-03-14


MoriKun>   I have had very little sleep lately. First, it was fighting Wayport wifi DNS traffic breaching into our network, and then millions of spam were sent from our email gaterway. They were contained, but still, it is so sad. I need to take my mind off drooling on the new Nikon P310. Maybe be it could replace my Canon S90. Maybe! Or look at silly site like Cupidtino. It was Valentine Day yesterday afterall. 2012-02-15


MoriKun>   Finally I got around to build the newer version of bison on Sparc. It built fine, but it failed on testsuite 247. A little research showed that this patch of regression.at will fix the problem. After that I read about the Shmoocon hacker conference demo, and that scared me that I have "Blink" on my credit card. Hmmm. Time to drill... Then, I read about $40,000 dollar ceiling for NYC private school. OMG! Ok, my girl is definitely going public school ;( 2012-01-30


MoriKun>   Well, I woke up in the morning, and routinely checked software update on my iMac desktop. After updating kernel to linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 (2.6.32-41), it caused the ATI propriety linux driver to malfunction. I got a black screen. To get X back, I had to uninstall the ATI driver, and manually removed /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-amd64/updates/dkms/fglrx.ko. Then reinstalled the AMD Catalyst 11.11 driver rev 12.1. So much work for one morning :-( Do you know there is Druapl usability study at Google The usability study will be streamed live. Check it out! 2012-01-28


MoriKun>   Are you as excited as I am about Raspberry Pi, the cool $25 computer? There is a new demonstration of live coding with Qt5 on it. It is running in full HD no less. Yeah! And happy birthday to iPad. Today marks the 2 years anniversay of iPad. The iPad was introduced by Steve Jobs on January 27, 2010. I love photography, do you? There are two new products that might change the way we take pictures. One is Tamaggo the egg sharp 360 imager, and the other is Lytro the light field camera. Can't wait to get my hand on one of them :) 2012-01-27


MoriKun>   Are you hungry for an iPhone? Yes, you can eat one if you live in Taiwan :-)... And when you are full, you can use this Apple Toilet ... Lastly, Cert has published an alert for the LOIC attack by Anonymous. Do you see something weird from your server log??? 2012-01-25


MoriKun>   You might have read about the last week arrest of Megaupload. Would this be orchestrated for the debate and support of SOPA and PIPA? TorrentFreak has a good article about the future of Meganomics. And in the other news, there is yet another exploited in openssl. Time to upgrade? Then, you need something to laugh at, here is a Sick Sculptures you might want to check out :) Lastly, I finally have time to sit down and read the article How the US lost out on iPhone work. And that makes me worries about the future generations. What kind of world they will have to compete in. 2012-01-24


MoriKun>   I did the unthinkable. I took a plane to San Francisco and visited SFMoMA for Francesca Woodman Restrospective. I watched the show back to back 3 times, and tried to take in as much as I could. Totally overwhelmed, I left and took the next flight back home. It is a short day trip to SF :)... 2012-01-11


MoriKun>   Not again! Flash has yet another zero day vulnerability. And there is no fix for it. Can we all switch to HTML 5? Steve Jobs is right about Flash. 2011-12-11


MoriKun>   Ok, I joined the Black Friday crowd and bought an iMac (iMac12,1) and saved myself $101 :). The new system would replace my ancient G4 iLamp. Right after I got the iMac, I changed the iMac to dual boot Mac OSX and Debian Squeeze. I followed mostly the instructions from: Ubuntu Help and Debian Wiki. For most part, the installation was smooth, and rEFit is very helpful. Beside running into some minor issue with the bluetooth keyboard and Magic Mouse, the video was a bitch. I had to install fglrx-driver and fglrx-glx and then made my own xorg.conf using fglrx_drv as the driver. And finally removed the very stupid AMD unsupported hardware watermark using this instruction. Doh! Then I discovered that I could not adjust brightness with the fglrx driver, so I had to remove them and install the ATI proprietary driver. 2011-11-28


MoriKun>   I guess the iSad phrase should be over now, and we should think happy thoughts about Jobs goes to heaven! .... 2011-10-24


MoriKun>   My friend has shared an article from New York Times with me, it is called Notes From a Dragon Mom. At first, I thought it is yet another article about Tiger Mom. But it is not, it is about a Mom with a 18 months old with Infantile TSD. As a parent, I am sadden from reading it... 2011-10-19


MoriKun>   I don't know what happen to the last 2 years. Time sort of flies away. Anyhow, if you are diehard like us. You probably missed the good old Sunsolve, since Oracle MySupport is not exactly what I would call user friendly. But then, I have discovered We Sunsolve. That site make Solaris patch search easy again. Since we are talking about patching, you might have noticed that after upgrading to Solaris 10 update 10, all the kernel from patch above revision 147440-01 would cause kernel crash if you have OBP rev below 4.12. I found the problem the hard way. I was glad that I used live upgrade to patch, so I was able to correct the problem. The latest kernel patch 147440-04 is supposed to fix the issue. Then, I will approach with that care... 2011-10-17


MoriKun>   Here is my girl singing .... 2011-10-16


MoriKun>   Was channel surfing and watched The Planet , an 2006 doucmentary from Sundance channel. Are we doom? Unless we reduce consumption now... 2009-04-03


MoriKun>   Watched a very good program on National debt Ten Trillian and Counting on PBS. One can wonder what will happen to future generations? Sad... 2009-03-24


MoriKun>   Very tired... been working whole night patching servers :*( 2009-02-27


MoriKun>   Gambatte Kudasai!!
