I’m just a kid
- KL for a few days. Its really warm. Saw William, Sean, & Kenneth for a bit on Saturday. Met up with Ditesh, Dinesh, Radha for some fun too; Ditesh and Dinesh again on Sunday, with Ow for a bit. Too many raids occuring in KL, closing all nightspots by 2-3am, which sucks. Spent another day just hanging out at a coffee joint with Wing Hol and Ruben.
- Syncing the Tungsten C with FC-4 works quite well. Just create /etc/udev/rules.d/10-visor.rules, with the line: BUS="usb", SYSFS{product}="Palm *", KERNEL="ttyUSB[13579]", SYMLINK="pilot". Now in J-Pilot, make sure that you’re syncing against /dev/pilot rather than /dev/ttyUSB[0,1], because it can tend to change.
- Saw that Novell is launching a Linux programme for undergrads yesterday in Computimes, and today Khairil points to the online link. Now, this Certified Linux Professional (CLP) that they’re trying to push assures you that after a practical exam has been passed, you’re certified to administer a SuSE Linux system. Why? I appreciate the fact that they’re doing some OSS goodness in the Malaysian market, but its rather silly when its one-sided. Its not vendor neutral, and this pushes the silly idea that Linux/OSS equates to Novell/SuSE. How different are they to Microsoft then? Not very in my books, and this is clearly evil. Do it LPI styled or something, make it vendor neutral, and make more Linux-certified Malaysians (see how I don’t say professionals anywhere there?). Certification has its limits…
- Yes, I am bad for using the the hsf softmodem drivers from linuxant. And with it, they don’t support S3 sleep either. So remember to stop hsf before sleep.
