In this nearest time, there are a couple of things that I’ve been waiting anxiously or maybe just eagerly. Sort of like waiting for my first child to be born. Ahahahahha…okay, that’s kind of excessive, sorry for that. Without further ado, I present to you the list itself:

• Waiting for my interview appointment.

  I’ve already applying for some positions by sending my CV to the appropriate parties and already learn my lesson from 2 years ago (didn’t have the patient to wait for a reply); I’m now waiting with more patient than ever. At the same time, I do realize opportunities wait for no one, so I’m not taking anything for granted; I’m still finding another possible job opportunities without too reliant on the already made applications.

I don’t know the exact date and time, but a couple of minutes ago, I just realize that Fedora 7 “Moonshine” has been released. No more “Core” in their naming convention, this latest release marks some major changes that sure looks appealing to different type of Linux user (beginner, advanced, or expert). Fedora 7 features a tickless kernel, KVM virtualization, Liberation fonts, and the capability to mix your own Fedora distribution with ease (from what I understand, it something that let the users to customize their Fedora 7 to contains only a set of package they desire and best of all share it with others). I didn’t install and test it yet, so it’s quite unfair to write any further. Go to their official site for more info (FedoraProject.org), this link for their release notes and here for the official announcement. Talking about their official site, it had been revamped to accompany the new release. I really like their tag line “Reach Higher” because it describe their intention to become much better than ever…hopefully Fedora 7 can live up to it.

Ok, the local date and time now is July 2, 2006 at 3:55am and right now I’m still working. Yup…I’m taking some part time jobs and supposedly I’m either at home on my bed sleeping like a kitten or watching world cup match between Brazil and France. So why the hell I’m still here doing my job? It’s basically because having some weird problem on Fedora Core 2 (FC2) and need to revamp almost everything. Can’t tell you much about my work here but I’m dealing with some network monitoring using RRD-Tools on Linux machine. It’s not my decision to use FC2, so I’m a little in an awkward position when I’m trying to revamp everything. I hope this will end soon…huhuhuhu

Howdy mates….just another crappy post. Currently, I’m not so busy with anything serious, just trying to look like I’m so busy at the moment by doing a lot of reading basically on Linux theoretical parts, revising my php knowledge, and a little about general computing (programming, hardware, etc). Also lately I’m involved again in gaming scene after so long of absence by playing Onimusha 3: Demon Seige pc version. Yeah..not so new but I’m pretty convince that the game can be a remark of my little comeback to the scene :-P.

Oh…before I forgot, just recently I had updated my FC5 kernel from 2.6.16-1.2080_FC5 to 2.6.16-1.2111_FC5. Well the update going so well for a moment, but then I realize that my windows partition that I mount before this, can’t be detected. Oh GOD…what have I done? But before I had the chance to become more panic, I realize that when I’m doing up the configuration, one of the step is to recognize the kernel version. So, I went to Linux-NTFS.org and dowload the new rpm correspondent to my new kernel version, remove the old ntfs rpm from my system (by typing yum remove kernel-module-ntfs command at the terminal as root), and installing the new rpm (by typing rpm -Uvh *.rpm command at the terminal as root). Pheww…moral of the post, don’t panic
