conoscenza

i’ve setup a tiny environment consist of a few routers (with serial link, encap frame relay, p-2-p practice, and uh.. a router for dhcp) , a switch and 3 VMs (all in vlan1 for simplicity sake). the routing are all configured as static (practice makes perfect), and serial connections are all using /30 subnet..  i’ve also enabled SNMP (community exsolusi RW) and syslog for all the routers switches (in XP too).. the connection to the Internet marked as a cloud (192.168.137.1 – it’s a logical loopback adapter with a shared connection configured with my current wireless interface), and also the NATting on R1 is set to standard ACL (access-list 1 permit any) for the rest of routers and VMs to be able to connect to the Internet…

R4’s ip helper address is pointing to 10.100.74.41 (dhcp), once the VMs are rebooted, it automatically binds IP which are set earlier in the pool (VMs are using shared vmware adapter 8, host-only), some of the common parameters such as dns server were set too; on which i’ve told them to look up for a public dns 4.2.2.2..

Monitoring tools e.g cacti, zenoss as well as kiwi syslog server (from solarwinds) were quite easy to configure and familiarize as well.. pretty much sums up this weekend’s activity…

知其不可為而之…

這次我玩的外匯已經是全靠機其來自動幫我買賣了.. 雖然的確是有點危險, 但至少中午吃飯時間有東西談啦.. 談啥呢? 當然談大事啦.. 股市, 外匯行情.. 咱們以已經過去的指點來試判未來, 這… 雖然我自己本身也知道不可能預測得出來, 但每個人都有各各不同的想法, 好像講話來說服似的, 偶覺聽了這些人辯論, 才會有樂趣.. 我自己本身見過, 體驗過, 形形色色的人來往, 雖然沒體驗過賺大錢的喜悅, 我多時感受到瀕臨破產的刺骨寒冷… 唉…

知其不可為而安之若命!!!!

Endurance vs Retaliation

Hi Sir, congratulations, you’ve been in network team as Resident Engineer for 3/4 years perhaps? and you’ve successfully insulted me in front of the meeting comm because of my inexperience and lack of knowledge on how our Bank’s network previously setup.

You are strong in technical knowledge i admit, praise and salute you. but the only thing that you’re lacking is an attitude and respect towards your peer on a working level.

You gang up with your own kind against me personally and intentionally looking up for my slightest mistakes since i’m a newb, but please be reminded that i’ve just joined in 1st July, (even though it’s not official in HR record yet). Anyway, what goes around, comes around.

You’ve denied my user account from accessing your team’s shared knowledge and I can’t think of any reason why and what caused you to do such thing to me.

You’re employed because we need your technical knowledge in the first place, and what i can do now is to endure your mocking and insults. But i sincerely Thanked you, my eagerness to learn is even more stronger than ever.

I’m writing this so as to remind myself not to become arrogant in the future…

When Things Go Wrong

This song and it’s name as a whole has such an emotional story. The song name suggest that shits gone wrong, but yet the melody tells us that even when things go wrong, we can look over our mistake and learn upon them, and know that life will go on and we can create a better future. Is it weird that this song alone is the only thing that makes me somewhat want to play WoW again after quitting about 4 years ago? :p

for many people Warcraft is pixilated crack. When the video “exploration” was first released over 5 years ago, it was ‘an experience’ just watching the video. There was something exceedingly special about viewing content for the would-be biggest MMO in history, years prior to the contents actual release; caverns of time, Hyjal, Outland (some of which is STILL unreleased, Emerald Dream). This song was prominent in a very widely viewed exploration video put out by Dopefish maybe a year before TBC hit and this was the kick-ass background music used that still invokes deep emotions and memories to this day…
