During a long holiday break a week ago ..
I managed to read a book with the title as “Who Moved My Cheese?” by Spencer Johnson, MD, . I have to admit , it was kinda eye-opening for realizing the desire to pursue for better and tendencies of enjoying current comfort zone ~ ( standing still ) ~
are completely about the balance.. a.k.a ‘zen’ .. a.k.a ‘ying & yang ‘.. a.k.a ‘wasatiah‘ or in malays — ‘kesederhanaan’
.. one proverb..
“Bekerjalah kamu seolah-olah untuk hidup selama-lamanya..
dan beribadatlah kamu seolah-olah.. esok tiada lagi..”
i would like to excerpt the point that was pointed out in the book with just a simple analogy..
here we go.. (pardon me if the writing is not that good .. .
I would say it could be not that bad at all to write one in a Malay version..)
Whenever I may roam ~ is a song by Metallica
G2DI4Kq62gM
as quoted the lyric below ..
…and the road becomes my bride
I have stripped of all but pride
so in her I do confide
and she keeps me satisfied
gives me all I need
…and with dust in throat I crave
only knowledge will I save
to the game you stay a slave
rover, wanderer
nomad, vagabond
call me what you will
but I’ll take my time anywhere
free to speak my mind anywhere
and I’ll redefine anywhere
anywhere I may roam
where I lay my head is home
…and the earth becomes my throne
I adapt to the unknown
under wandering stars I’ve grown
by myself but not alone
I ask no one
…and my ties are severed clean
the less I have the more I gain
off the beaten path I reign
rover wanderer
nomad vagabond
call me what you will
but I’ll take my time anywhere
I’m free to speak my mind anywhere
and I’ll never mind anywhere
anywhere I may roam
where I lay my head is home
but i’ll take my time anywhere
free to speak my mind
and I’ll take my find anywhere
anywhere I may roam
where I lay my head is home
carved upon my stone
my body lie, but still I roam
wherever I may roam
but .. what I am trying to say here is ,
you can get connected whenever you are if equipped with necessary apparatus ..
and these days , these gadget not that far from reach..
with just a laptop , handphone with GPRS/ EDGE / 3G unlimited access..
you’re barely connected to the rest of the team , and virtually to the rest of the world..
one nice joke i ever heard bout being so remote. ..
“a spacecraft at outer space .. still can be remotely
controlled from the earth .. what else.. ”
well, a lot of things in our life keep changing so fast..
p/s : i haven’t noticed that my k530i Sony Ericsson so well integrated with the blogspot.com
until .. i snapped a picture.. right click.. Post to Blog.. wait.. and puff ~ published..
a sms received.. please go to http://he****484.blogspot.com to claim your token and bla..bla..
i guess it randomly created the blogspot account and assign the token in order to edit it later..
After been a while using OpenOffice 2.3 that came bundle with CentOS 5.2 ,
somehow decided to get OpenOffice 3.0.1 installed..
First of all have to download the RPMs file installer at the OpenOffice website[openoffice.org],
it comes via a zipped file of all needed RPMs.
then extract it ..
figure out where did the RPM file are..
cd OOO300_m15_native_packed-1_en-US.9379/cd RPMS/
cd OOO300_m15_native_packed-1_en-US.9379/
cd RPMS/
now link that to a directory that would be possible to use with yum installer
There are some of the thing to NOT tell to the whole world at large .
Among others..
1. The partner agreement in detail to very single bit.
2. Even in the business plan you shall avoid to disclose the crucial information about your partner contribution from being too detail.
3. For human relationship, there are a lot of thing better off to be kept as personal between just two of you.
4. All the discussion / meeting that specifically tagged with “Within the Wall Only”.
5. The weakness / bad thing about your friend except to him/her self knowledge and improvement.
6. The barely naked information on current development ?
— this would be contradict to knowledge sharing thingy..
but wait..
(this thought are collected from others…)
1.what if the disclosure of “How To” and all detail which lead to the risk of losing your current position in the market/company..
2. the information will lead to losing your monopoly or “Only one person/company on this <Your_preferred_location_of_territory>” special advantage.
3. — this would relate to the saying..
“if I could do this by myself..
I wouldn’t need you at the first place or anymore..”
(hmmm..)
Some the bad thing lead by this :
1.Somehow.. lead to Programmer writing a crappy code without comment and all. (as want to have the knowledge known only to him/her) …
2. would explain why ‘a human’ NOT even bother to contribute to “knowledge sharing” at all. (see the wiki contribution, open-source coders, forum posting and many others )
3.Preferring proprietary based solution over the Open-Source approach.
One evening, I have been discussing with one of my senior ..
“Where are we actually heading now ?”
“Let discuss about our server/ hosting service target..” which is true enough .. that it will be changed from time to time.
Tripod logo..
1. free hosting.. (tripod, lycos, geocities)
2. cheap paid hosting..with ads removing ( some sharing how many MB space for few dollars .. just remove the ads)
3. a bit expensive paid hosting .. (shared hosting .. “tumpang” something like exabytes.. mercumaya..) .. someone called it “mercu mayat” as the service went suck..
4. dedicated hosting.. (highly expensive)
5. virtual private server (VPS).. about time to kill the clogged the CPU process with unauthorized process ..same time tried hosting at home with dynamic ip address .. (dyn DNS and noip.org)
6. off-shore server hosting… (server farming.) not good with local hit & affected by the earthquake.. undersea cable “putus”.. speed like crawling..
7. co-location.. provide a server and rent the connection and electricity.
8. own a data-centre.
9. mesh of data-centre..
10. take over ISP backbone
11. own one of telecommunication infrastructure.
12. own a mesh of telecommunication infrastructure.
13. own a communication satellite..
14. Own an array of satellite .. the right word is (satellite constellation )
15. build and supply one part for ISS. (International Space Station?)
16. start a remote communication deployment at a planet.
17. start a colonization on a planet.
18. own array of planet with same colonization technology.
19. build own SUN ?
20. big bang .. died !!
nice dream…huh?

hit the link on your development/production linux machine.. if lucky enough..
can have webalizer running on the back ground will spit something like this.
HTTPd usage
hehehe.. been inactive for last 3-month.. haiya..
this may only reflect the development being done in apache environment… wonder if perl got record how many times
interpreter had been called since last year..
p/s : above image might be are just illustrator/imagination only and may not reflect real situation.. 8-)
