Respect

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils to these three things:

#1) Respect the privacy of others.

#2) Think before you type.

#3) With great power comes great responsibility.

Cyber Security - Protecting the business Executive Briefings

I was invited on a security briefing by the Computer World last Oct 9, 2008.

Here is the link to the event.

It was a nice experience to be a part of an event that talks about IT Security. I was impressed by the first speaker who discussed the present state of Philippine government laws towards IT security and Cybercrimes. 

Some of the speakers talks about their products and I find it boring.

A guy from  mcAfee Mr. Vu Huy Nguyen talks on the present state and pains of Asia in IT security. It was really interesting listening to him as he discussed the type of attacks, malware development, trends and lots of more interesting topic.

"Security must begin with oneself and good education."

"Warning: BFAD confirm that the YAKULT,VITASOY, mister Donuts has a (MELANINE) Mass: pls pass to all concern people".

What is MELANINE wiki   and Melamine wiki.

Conclusion: Investigate first before you believe.

Installing rsync and wget on my Mac

Coming from GNU/Linux im  missing some tools and utilities.

There are great utilities i been using like wget, rsync that help me on my computing.

Im glad that i make them all work with my  Mac OSX Leopard 10.5.4 with little tweak and few command on the terminal.

Downloaded the source code, compile and install to my system.

I modified my environment variables and export to my $PATH. 

Happy computing "OS X" rocks.

DLINK FIREWALL

DLINK DFL210

Initially, i got a good impression of this firewall. It has the enterprise features with very affordable price.
Overall management: great management interface
Features: Support the enterprise level capability.
It has IDS/IDP, VPN, APL, Routing features, traffic shaping, support for external
authentication.
and a lot more...

I was task to install this product to one of our client. I successfully installed it in less than an hour with the basic firewalling. After all the test that i have conducted: VOIP traffic, VPN, regular & internet traffic, it was a great performance.

Suddenly after three months, the device starts deteriorating with its performance.
The initial problem that i've encountered is that the internet traffic becomes slow. Then after a day, pop3 service can no longer pass through the firewall. And later it finally broke down so I decided to replace the device.


I have decided to no longer recommend this for an enterprise firewall appliance. Try Astaro instead.

Nortel GBIC-LX Problem

It was really a stressful week for me dealing with nortel baystack switch 470-48T-PWR problem on gbic lx recognition.

My diagnostics shows that the default software for baystack 470-48T-PWR does not have support for 1000base-lx gbic.

With the advice of fellow networking guy, I have to upgrade the software. But I cannot proceed with the installation because i might violate nortel warranty terms and condition.

On my point of view, Its really hard to look for information and support on nortel products.

Working Windows Active Directory

Have the opportunity to mentor one of my comrade in installing Windows Active Directory and implementing a live environment.

Though i already have experience  with windows 2003 and active directory it is still a must to review and especially in terms of security policy.

Thanks i have time to go back to the basic things without being disturb.

I was able to concentrate on the things i need to learn. I hope can do this again having an ample time.

Happy Birthday Miss PC

Glad Im MAC and she PC!  

She got a birthday gift from microsoft with the Blue Screen Of Death.  HEHEHE 

Nice one miss PC. 

Working Windows 2003 on Macbook OSX Leopard Bootcamp

I successfully installed Windows Server 2003 on Macbook Using bootcamp. 

The first trouble i have to deal is  "ctrl + alt + delete" to be able to login.

First thing to do is to search google how to deals those keys but unluckily i cant not find the answer. So, i buy a usb keyboard plug it to my macbook then it work. 

Next thing i have to work is installing the drivers, and remap my keyboard. The only problem is my video-card i can not find the right driver for it.  

Another problem i have to deal is read/write at ntfs partition on the Windows Server 2003 drive.

Luckily google has a project called macfuse. 

Google knows best.

Rainy Sunday Morning

Spending the whole morning in front of my computer browsing the web and reading slashdot.

I got stuck with this activeX thing  with microsoft Internet Explorer. Hmmmmm!!!!! I tried to enable activeX on security tab of IE  but unluckily nothing happens, even set the security to low and disable my firewall.  Out of frustration turn off Microsoft Windows and Switch back to Mac.

Diverted my attention to PostgreSQL and Mac Development thus making me more productive. Install GCC, and COCOA.....

My First Mac

It was June 15, 2008 Fathers Day. 

On opening the Mac Box, i felt the excitement for having a mac for the first time. 

It was a dream come true! 

Ohh... My MAC!!!!!! With the help of Penguin

LOok!ng for a G00d Job

Recently i manage to break the shell and beat the fear from working in a comforting environment to look for a better job and career. Luckily it was not hard for me to find a new job it just took me only half a day and i get the offer. The question is contentment, once you get into the avenue and passed the gateway of unlimited opportunities.
Now, I really have to choose which one is better and the best, when getting the right one we need to consider a lot of things that affects our day to day living.
*Location
*Convenience
*Growth
*Remuneration
*Job focus

These are the things i consider when looking for a new job.

Living a good life

Thanks GOD for giving me everything we need.
Thanks for giving us a career for us to sustain our living.
Thanks for giving us food for our daily need.
Thanks for the air we breath each day.
Thanks for the good people around us.
THANKS

Lord we pray for good health, peace and happiness.

When bad turns to worse

I hate doing the bad things but if someone pushes me, then even the worse i can do it.
In my entire life i never get angry as the way i am previously and i prefer to keep it on myself. As long i can bear i can manage it calmly and without complaint.
When things turns from bad to worse better get rid of it to avoid collateral damage. I maybe bad but but not the worse.

Panagbenga 2008

Pagod! Pagod Pagod pero sulit naman.

Let something go and move to the next best thing

Letting go of something! and move to the next best thing.
Its a matter of just deciding which to give up and what to do next. There are lots of promising future out there but the risk is big.
Planning and thinking ahead saves you a lot of time and effort in doing things that has little or great impact in our life.

Its time to re-organize our goals and re-dream our future.
Keep on dreaming and doing small things.

In Trouble

It was bad business! lost 2k just for the late deposit.
Hoping not happen again. 2K malaki na yun, wala na kasi ako pera tapos ayun nawalan pa.

updates

As i see it coming from centralized computing to desktop computing. Most people are being empowered, kids, students and all walks of life are already dependent on computers. The internet has revolutionized the way of life of the many.
Looking forward... few years from now there will be a switch to technology from distributed computing back to centralized processing. The growth of web technology has change the way computing being done. BACK to the beginning... STORAGE being centralized, APPLICATION residing on the server, single MANAGEMENT for all the infra. and others.
