Lightning strike again… [ November 19th, 2008 ] Posted in » General

Oh man this is the second time my modem kena lightning strike and i not really aware that there is an strike. Altought I have install the Belkin powerstrip with phone lightning arrest but it still go through wonder how does it protect my device?

And I thought that my phone line having problem that I can’t hear any dial tone as I encounter few times telekom doing something on the exchange cause no tone and after few hours to 1 day the tone will back to normal. But this time few days so I check all the phone wiring as my house phone wiring was a mess, then only found out the Belkin powerstrip was out on the phone line.

At the same time my 3 yrs old rig having problem on the mainboard, it won’t startup hang on the BIOS screen just displaying the proccessor and that it stop there. Suspect cause by the lighning strike also where 1 of my 8 port switch port spoiled, might be the current strike to my mainboard LAN port make it short circuit.

Not sure if can claim my mainboard also, but if yes how to sent it? bring my whole rig over with all my data for sure I won’t give them right as i have tons of movie inside LOL. Will call them up later to clarify how to claim my mobo.

Domain logon script updater

I think most of the Domain Administrator know how to set the logon script for individual users, but have you wonder how to set it for all the user altogether to use the same script without having to edit the user one by one and change the logon script?

I found 1 script that able to do a little bit help on that and can get from here, you can run this script from any pc that is a domain member with domain administrator rights. Then run the following command:-

updatelogonscript.bat <logon script>

It will add the logon script to all the users you have on your domain.

Eye on Malaysia

This is my second post on Eye on Malaysia as today is the last day the wheel will turn as it’s going to be pull down tomorrow. For those who have not taken the ride, you will miss the chance and not sure whether it will be coming or not but i don’t think it will.

Eye on Malaysia was launch on 6 January 2007 in conjunction of Visit Malaysia Year 2007 Celebration, hope next year will have another attractive event for malaysia.

I went for the ride on October as they said might bring down on December but then they extend the ride till today. The ride was quite enjoying as you hardly notice you have been up to the sky and the spectacular view from the sky seeing the KL city.

If got chances I will go for a ride on London Eye as the ride was different from here, the ride was on a capsule type where you will have to stand inside and the capsule will rotate to balance out the movement and you can see the whole London city.

Wish my dream come true.

Toyota Winglet in action

Friday 1 August 2008 - This is a cool stuff and very useful in shopping center, airport and warehouse as this can really save your tired leg for the day. Con about it is people will getting lazier as you no need to walk much and it need to consume electricity.

Prepare to step aside Segway, you had your chance to revolutionize personal transportation. Introducing the Toyota Winglet. Still under development, Winglet’s body has a 10.4 x 18-inch footprint and stands 1.5-, 2.2-, or 3.7-feet tall (depending upon the S, M, or L model chosen) and features an electric motor capable of a max 6km/h cruising speed for up to 10km a jaunt (only 5km for the S model). Like the Segway, the user controls the Winglet by shifting his weight to move the transporter forward and back or to make tight turns. Winglet will begin consumer testing at the Central Japan International Airport near Nagoya and Laguna Gamagori resort this Autumn with further testing in more crowded environments planned for 2009. It’s planned to hit a production stride in 2010.

Fitness First 14 days trial

I went to Fitness First for a 14 days trial with my wife as I got the trial coupon given by Microsoft, so we decided to do workout for free. We went to the nearest outlet that is in IOI Mall as we stay in Puchong, as usual before getting the free trial they will go a round check with your body condition and also pursuit you to join them as a member with those attractive packages.

For sure I will not join unless I really tested right? But either after trial or not I will not join at the moment as too many debt need to be settle, wait till any of the debt is settle than can consider. Ok, back to the gym the IOI outlet seem to be a little bit small compare to California Fitness in Mid-Valley. Compare to California, they offer 1 month trial better than here 14 days, it does have the standard gym equipment like Cardio, cycle, free wight, body workout, yoga classes and body workout classes. Those equipment only have few units so if there is a lot of people going for gym than you might need to wait for your turn.

Migrate Linux email to Mdaemon

I was given a migration project to migrate Debian mail server to Mdaemon mail server. This project include setting up the Mdaemon mail server and migrate email over 600+ mailbox on Debian mail server, at first this project seem to be very straight forward as from the first meeting with the customer they mention is 90% of the user is using outlook express. This sound like all the email will be store on the client rather than in debian mailserver right? By the time we do the installation only we found out they given us the wrong info, where 90% of the user is using webmail…. !@#$#$%#% .
