The continuation of the star wars personality test, here's the link to the muppet personality test. Well this is my results and I can say I'm somewhat not suprised. You Are Gonzo the Great "Is something burning in here? Oh, it's just me." You're a total nutball who will do anything for attention. The first to take a dare, you'll pull almost any stunt. You're one weird looking creature, but your chickens don't mind! The Muppet Personality Test

As old as ftp is, i'm sure its still a very common method of file transfer in most interfaces. Here's how to write a simple ftp script on unix or windows without having to worry about those passwords. Using EOF Probably the most common is to use the EOF (end of file) method. Its important to know that there cannot be any spaces in front of the last 'EOF' line. ftp -nv hostname user USERNAME PASSWORD cd directory prompt passive asc mput filename.* bye EOF Using .netrc The other method of saving passwords for multiple scripts is to use a .netrc file which can be created in the user's home directory $ cd $HOME $ vi .netrc add the following line into the file machine login password $ chmod 500 .netrc You should be able to ftp without prompts. to test, just type $ ftp you should be logged in. the downside is that this forces you to log in as that specific user. However lets face it, if you're still using ftp to move stuff around, this shouldn't bothe...

Here is a screen capture of the video footage. DVD release probably in a couple of years or so. One of the few instances where drummer dave is actually visible.

Sometimes we use words so often, we forget what it actually means. I recently used the word Kayu, but when asked to translate it, I wasn't quite able to give a literal translation. And appalingly, bablefish did not contain the malay-english translation. Anyway after a bit of searching, I realised that Ka yu mean wood in berhasa indonesia. However in Singaporean context, it basically means silly. I suppose when someone said you have a wooden head, it generally means that you are pretty dumb. I suppose the next evolution of the word has changed its meaning yet again when in football, an own goal is scored. we say , "goalie ka yu" also suggests that was some bribing involved in that goal as well apart from being rather silly. So there you have it. the effectiveness of common language and how the years have made a simple line so descriptive. A singlish guide can be found here . Its not as detailed, but does cover some of the more basic words.

I've just purchased a new antec smartpower 350w power supply for my pentium 3 for $70. A bit of an overkill you might say. Well my machine is up and running again, so i guess it paid off. It's meant to be a quiet power supply that uses only one fan during low utilisation and 2 only if it really needs it. However since boot, I noticed that the 2nd fan just kept on spinning. That makes me wonder exactly how much power i'm using to power this machine. Maybe it has something to do with the asterisk tdm pci card, 2 network cards, 2 hard disks, 1 cd writer, floppy, usb wifi dongle and soundblaster live platium with live drive. hmm. i'll be thankful once this monster gets migrated to the garage where it should be. Meanwhile, I will have to bear with its hrmmm, hrmmmm sounds. The loudest part being the internal hard-disk enclosure.

Not quite sure why my power supply died over the weekend, woke up on the saturday and realised there was no internet connectivity, only to walk to my linux router and discover that the green power light was blinking and there was no loud drone like it normally used to give. I had to repatch my workstation directly to the adsl modem in the garage. Gee I love my centralised patch area. No hassles of carrying computers around. Well, i guess thats the end of the power supply. stay tuned to find out what happens next.
